But it's another chance for people with nothing better to do to gripe and complain...

Anyone who chews out a player for the sake o f instant gratification before having idea of what happened is a fool. But based on the response around here, we have a lot of those these days.

Blah...blah...blah... grow up.

Umm. No...2 seconds, but I don't think any further detail is necessary. Go pout somewhere else I stead of ruining the experience for everyone, here.

Your attitude stinks.

Play calling was not that bad, yesterday, compared to other games. I was pleased that we have the run a chance to work but moved to the short pass sche.e to march it down the field. Our problem. Was our that they were going to force us to win without Ball. Our receivers and OL did not deliver for us. I am not a Milder fan, but our offense became consistently good in 2015 and was fine until Tommy got hurt last year. For those having a fit because Bowden didn't jump all over Nelson after the taunting call, he couldn't see the play (post game interview liink in Troy game thread) and therefore it is logical that he did not have a fit.

Ditto That was an interesting post game conference.

Any word on Zach Guiser? I believe he was knocked out in the last game. The team took his injury, really hard. I am not sure he should come back after that injury.

I had originally plan ed to vote no in the poll but Dr. Z posted some interesting stats that swayed my vote. Big deal. At the beginning if the season I thought we might be, optimistically, 2-2 at the end of out of conference play. Go look at the comparison in football budgets between Iowa State and Akron, then put on your big boy pants. We live in a world where the money spent on foitball programs matter. I have not said I don't have my concerns, I am saying that I am not ready to have, as some might say, a "hissy fit" after losing 2 games we were projected to lose, to P5 teams. The ridiculous calls to replace Woody are childish. Let's replace with him with a kid who isn't ready and manages to throw too many interceptions? Honestly, you can say your concerns are with this or that, but most of the negative co me t's are really about losing a game you wanted to win if you are honest with yourselves.

Whatever....it's sort if a joke to watch this board to meltdown

I have seen some talent but his judgement is poor on the field. Its hard to train a fool. Alex Ramart is the next Zips starting QB. Our problem is not a qb problem. I am honestly amazed at the unrealistic expectations of Zips fans.

At the beginning of the season I thought we would be 2-2. We still might be. It's a little early for meltdowns. Katoxs dad has been running his mouth on FB and Twitter for a year now. His son is not ready to lead anything and I would like to see him shut his trap. Now we know why Kato is emotionally immature.

Whatever Nelson's deal is, he is not ready to lead the offense. Emotional maturity is part of the equation and he isn't there yet. Woodson looks pretty good and there was some improvement from Smith and Young. Wolfe was in for one play, that I can recall. We badly need him. Nate Stewart made an amazing catch in Q 4. Let's hope he starts seeing more action. Punting was better and as much as the D struggeled they are much better than last year, but still not close to 2015 quality. We are probably another year away from that, though we have some legit tale talent that still needs further development. It feels like D Line and Safety are still are weakest positions. I give props to Campbell. They came ready to shut down Ball and they did. I also give props to the coaching staff for not conti using to force something that wasn't working and let Woodson lead us down the field a couple of times. I also like the 2 back look and wondered why we did not do that more. We can win 6 games this year if the Zips don't self-destruct. I have been more embarrassed by the cheap hits and stupid penalilties by Zips players than ever before. That being said, the targeting call on Davis was a joke.

Total

Really nice drive.

In other words, you show up to be a jerk. Nice stop by the D to minimize damage by bad fumble.

Nope.

Yeah...because you show up only to make negative comments, usually about Woodson. They are inaccurate and obviously personal.

I like working the pass game to open up the run. If we hold them on this drive we will have a game in our hands. I am so sick of loser comments like this. Grow up.

Nice strip by Kyron Brown. Marcus is looking good. Interesting note from radio pregame: no one had thrown against Darrien Daley all tear and rarely against Kyron Brown.

The DE's were much better than what we saw last year. I give Jamal Marcus props for trying to hit it out, but we just never could break through at this position.

My concern isn't Woodson, it's the receivers. Get Ball into open field with halfback screens and the halfback pass that the Steelers used to throw to Willie Parker.

Hold off?

I am so with you on this one. I am not sure he needs the blocking once he hits the open field. I feel like this will make our offense more potent and really help free up our younger receivers.
