Officially Official ND v. Stanford Game Thread

[TheSodFather]

The usage of Estime the past 2 weeks has been baffling

 

[IrishBeer]

How can you be so talented and yet so bad?

 

[Patrirish]

If this Stanford qb gets rid of the ball in 2.4 seconds why are the DB’s playing 10 yards plus off the receivers? Dumb.

It’s a good point, but you can’t risk him holding the ball for more than 2.4 seconds and going deep

 

[BGI User 1596]

Throwing into coverage……good development!

 

[Bogie8870]

Apparently Mayer wasn't being held repeatedly...

 

[GH56IRISH]

The d line should get home then.

 

[IrishBeer]

Now we are throwing directly into double coverage just for the sake of targeting Mayer?

 

[Patrirish]

The ball of course was blocked behind LOS. But the ball traveled past thr LOS. A Stanford player did try to pick it up and run it but the ref blew the whistle and spotted the ball where the Stanford player first touched the ball.

Just goes to show you his powers of observation and understanding of the rules ! 😜

 

[Get Nasty]

Yeah, he should dial up one of those deep corner blitzes!

Huh, you don’t have to blitz but you need some of your secondary within 10 yards of Los to make a tackle

My bad I thought he grabbed it behind line

 

[Patrirish]

I agree, the other receivers have to become primary if Mayer is continually double covered.

 

[HDK]

Wasn’t it?

It was not advanced. It was marked down where the Stanford player touched it. (sorry, didn't see that question was answered about five times already.)

 

[Get Nasty]

Love still committed?

Be nice if they could just tackle!

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Anytime it's 3rd and long I'm holding my breath.

 

[IrishBeer]

This is a true toilet bowl

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

3 and out here or does DP throw into triple coverage and a pick six?

 

[banmate6]

I’m not an expert. But if ND had such a weight advantage on the OL, shouldn’t we see more north-south power running with Estime and Diggs?

 

[Get Nasty]

Be nice if they could just tackle!

Lea dominated this slow mesh crap wake does by attacking their Los and forcing quicker decisions… we’re playing reactive and not good … thank god Stanford isn’t good and letting ND hang around

 

[IrishHerb]

Or 3rd and short for us.

 

[Get Nasty]

They’re loading box on early downs and then playing 8 in secondary on third and long… until Rees figures out how to call plays and win on first down consistently we’re in trouble

 

[GH56IRISH]

WTF

 

[christophero]

We look like a 6-5 team right now.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Hilarious play calling

 

[TheSodFather]

Rees is an idiot

 

[Get Nasty]

Rees winning in first downs … god is he brutal as a coach

 

[DieHard_Irish]

Styles cannot catch a contested ball. Actually only Mayer can; none of the WR can.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Sounds like they put the crowd asleep already!

 

[IrishBeer]

So they are flagging us for all kinds of bullshit and then picking flags up against Stanford?

 

[GH56IRISH]

Was that not a facemask?

 

[Patrirish]

Lea dominated this slow mesh crap wake does by attacking their Los and forcing quicker decisions… we’re playing reactive and not good … thank god Stanford isn’t good and letting ND hang around

let me see if I understand this, you said that Stanford isn’t good, but they’re beating ND

 

[BGI User 1596]

Punter is the best player on the team!

 

[TheSodFather]

Why and how has Estime become our 3rd down back?

Why haven’t they really run him at all this game?

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Why the hell are we trying to run sweeps? We don't have the speed to get outside. We don't have the linemen who can get outside and make a block.
What the hell is TR doing????

 

[Patrirish]

So they are flagging us for all kinds of bullshit and then picking flags up against Stanford?

The Refs aren’t the reason we’re losing this game and looking so inept on offense

 

[Patrirish]

Terrible tackling

 

[IrishBeer]

Where are the playmakers for this team? Nobody on offense and nobody on defense. Just nobody. Well besides Mayer.

 

[Get Nasty]

Just a really really poorly coached team… when there are this many mistakes

 

[IrishBeer]

Just a really really poorly coached team

Correct. This is just a horribly coached football team. just absolutely loaded with talent and just getting beat up by the worst Stanford team I’ve seen in years.

 

[BGI User 1596]

When did Stanford turn into Marshall!
