Gameday Thread: Radiers vs Horned Frogs

[dawg]

THis team is soft. And if he starts saying the " I don't coach that side of the ball" garbage, time for more changes.

Exactly. You’d never hear Saben day that nonsense. Our C-USA and MWC teams could never be called “soft.” Patterson needs to find his sack and take charge.

 

[BigRedFrog]

I wish I could think of some original insight to add, but I'm too depressed for rational thought. This is 1970s football I'm seeing out there -- and I saw the original. Only difference is that the players are bigger and faster. Same lack of killer instinct. Same stupid penalties and turnovers. Something is toxic about this team. Has the game truly passed Gary by? Is he no longer able to keep up with younger coaches who know all his plays and tendencies?

This one will hurt for a long-long time. It may have marked a pivotal event in our program's history. If we couldn't beat Tech tonight, I don't see us beating anyone else this year except KU and maybe KSU. No bowl. Recruiting drop-off almost guaranteed, and when was the last time any of our super recruits lived up to his hype anyway?

This team has lost its will to win and can't get it back..

 

[East Coast]

1) there has to be a tremendous difference between SR and Collins because our QB looks to be mentally struggling and regressing
2) We miss Cordel terribly. Was he making the line calls? Lots of missed assignments tonight
3) Our D has always given up a couple big plays a game. Overall they have been fine.
4) What the heck is going on with the punting??
5) Turpin looks very frustrated with both our QB and play calling

We have 9 days to get straightened out. We have now lost 3 games all of which we could have won and 2 we should have.

 

[dawg]

they suck

Exactly. With our [ clusterfarg ] offense, why would he think we could get in the right play on the fly? Don’t need a timeout if you don’t make that 4th down.

 

[Horny 4 Life]

Why did they not call a timeout before that all important 4th down play????? [ What the heck? ] is wrong with our coaching staff?

Gary will call a darning TO to set up an ill-informed punt but not to set up the most important play to end the game. Unreal. He's always struggled with time and TO management, but this was a whole new level.

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

I’m always the optimist.

Hmmm. Username does not check out.

 

[Pharm Frog]

And honestly, this is part of the problem. GP doesn't give a flying [ steaming pile of Orgeron ] about the offense. Last I checked the HEAD coach was responsible for everything,

Precisely. This “I” crap is a really bad look.

 

[Bizarro Frog]

This is raw and hurts. And I fear it’s season over.

 

[frogs9497]

Love me some CGP, but it feels like he has lost this team. There’s more to being HC than being the defensive guru.

 

[Mean Purple]

Cumby needs to go. And after seeing the lack of consistency in running backs, Luper needs to get it together.

 

[Salfrog]

At what point is enough turnovers by one player enough??!!!

 

[Mean Purple]

Patterson saying only 1 guy to blame on radio. Himself. Well, yes. If you are the HC and don't pay attention to the reality on offense...

QB should have been benched. Cover for him all you want, but it has not even been average play.

 

[Mean Purple]

This is raw and hurts. And I fear it’s season over.

If we don't see a qb change, yes, it is.

 

[geezer]

This is 1970s football I'm seeing out there --

This is 1960's football I saw on the intramural field behind Milton Daniel.

 

[Sonny Side Up]

I spent a boatload of emotional capital on this program, having survived the Shofner Era. I am so proud of what TCU football has become Let’s get behind these kids and not allow ourselves to forget from where we have come. Yes, nasty loss, but we have to rally behind our kids.

 

[Mean Purple]

And honestly, this is part of the problem. GP doesn't give a flying [ steaming pile of Orgeron ] about the offense. Last I checked the HEAD coach was responsible for everything,

When the defense spends most of the game on the field, yes, they are going to give up plays. But when they make 90 percent of them, then no, it is not on them. It is on the offense that has not aggression and does not bring it every play.

 

[TxFrog1999]

The Patterson of the late 00's would have NEVER allowed a QB to remain in the game after what we saw tonight. You bench both RBs for a fumble but keep the injured QB in the game? Why?

We’re past being happy about where we’ve come from.

 

[TCUWIN]

Patterson says they need to find a way to get back in the win column. How about managing your offensive coaches. Figure out what they are doing during film sessions. Let the students script plays for a quarter...can it be worse that cumbie's work?

 

[Mean Purple]

Exactly. Big time programs focus on the now and deliver. There is no excuse for the offense we are seeing.
