Game Thread: Illinois at Washington

[Scoregasm]

Hey another wide open receiver....are we throwing this on purpose.

 

[Mr. Roberts]

We done.

 

[xcatcher]

This is unwatchable defense.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

we literally stopped playing that down, this is not what an experienced team does

We do this a lot.

 

[phats22]

and 4 missed tackles. i feel bad for Luke

 

[DeeAndDWill]

we literally stopped playing that down

How would one notice vs the rest of the day?

 

[the juiceman cometh]

3 and long is a first down for them....

The number after "3rd and" is pretty much irrelevant. They're making it.

 

[Iamgroot]

Someone remind our defense rul#1 of winning is wanting it more then the guy across from you you only get gifted so many unforced fumbles especially a Aaron Henry defense

 

[LouHenson]

Game over

 

[illinibbcz]

Cox is not playing well.

 

[Todd99]

#12 has seven catches, 8:00 left in the 3rd quarter

 

[joeybcrazy13]

Whhhhhyyyyy

 

[TheChief4Life]

Sick tackling.

 

[NashvILLe05]

All started with Matthew Bailey’s piss poor missed tackle.

 

[SuperMetroid]

I’ve seen enough of the Aaron Henry era. Leave him in Seattle

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Well, I guess we aren’t there yet.

So disappointing.

 

[IlliniTaffy]

Need to score on this drive

 

[CoachHooleyHoo]

Imagine what this team could be if we actually had a defense.

 

[IlliniInCAN]

Half the players on d are just standing around in empty space completely out of the play. There is no flying around, no pressure, poor tackling. Henry is a literal joke of a D coordinator.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

 

[NASchamp]

No edge contain. No tackling. We have the discipline and execution of a grade school defense.

 

[RockfordIllini]

3rd and long strikes again. No one within 7 yards of their best receiver.

 

[RDS]

Defense is simply not high level competitive

 

[Mr. Roberts]

Cox is not playing well.

Who is?

 

[LJ22]

I’ve seen enough of the Aaron Henry era. Leave him in Seattle

Feels like we just don't care, which is the worst part.
