Hated the hire when it happened, and still doubting I'll ever get to eat crow.

Fire Tony Peterson.
Playcalling: You have plenty of time and a timeout. You can still get a 1st down. Don't go for the endzone, keep getting yards.
QB play: Give your players a chance to catch the ball. At least you might get a PI out of it.
I'm gonna need a break from this team.

yeah, i get resting but McCray was out at some really odd times and they didn't adjust the run calls for the smaller, less physical backs.
This was the second kick in the you know what. We had Mike Alostott reincarnated back there today and we still punt.
Toughest part of that loss is that those last 3 plays showed no chance of being successful.
I've heard that if a game is within 10 points it's on the coaches. More than 10 its on the players. Keep in mind I heard that 40 years ago.
I said it last week and I'll say it again. I would rather lose heart breakers like this than blowouts. With that being said Im starting to wonder if bielema actually wants to win these games because his play calling doesn't look like it.
very true, defense played good enough for a win
100% agree. Why are we not going for it on 4th and 1 or 4th and 2? They literally could not stop McCray.
Jesus that was a horrible watch. This team is bad. I know that Lovie set the program back and there's work to be done, but it's inexcusable to keep running Peters out there when there's another option on the bench. And, that goes without mentioning the play calling. Can this program stoop any lower?

100%. What a tremendous display of ineptitude in both playcalling and execution at the end.
Would have also been nice if we hadn’t burned 2 time outs when entirely unnecessary

I wish I could give this the thumbs down b/c I'd honestly prefer to get blow out over what just happened here...
You would think after the last 30 years or so I would be numb to this crap. But no it still irritates the pi#s out of me.
As we rightfully crap on some coaching decisions.
The defense has been absolutely fantastic the last two weeks and deserves heaps of praise for keeping us in games.

The defense is improving, but we need to go with Art and not Peters. No clue why Peters can’t get the ball out quickly or make better decisions, but he needs to sit.
