LZIp Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I know I'm one of the less grumpier folks on this board; but I'm pretty excited at the thought of Ramart/Kato throwing to MTB/Stewart/Williams/McGriff/Kwad/Hooks/Booker next season or one of them handing it off to Sands/Suggs/White behind our seasoned O-Line. We seem to have some weapons coming up. Nobody can deny that we are lacking them this season. Yes somebody is to blame for that. Is the blame big enough for them to be fired even if the Zips quite possibly have their 3rd best or better season this year? I suppose time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss the part of my post where I stated what the offense did during the 2016 OOC when we had an actual solid MAC QB throwing to solid MAC WRs? Would you prefer the Zips of now or the Zips of 2012? I enjoy watching a winning program. Hey man, I don’t know what to tell ya. I have made probably over 100 posts critiquing the offense. You want to call me out for the one post about entertainment value? Ok. You win. If you like your offense, you can keep your offense. As for me, I am checked into my hotel and Black Cloister is 5 miles away. Cheers! Beat Turdledo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the personnel currently to have some Toledo-like offense you and your buddy are dreaming of. To think otherwise is idiotic. ive used factual data to show Millwee can have the "MACtion" offense with the right personnel, but it's been conveniently ignored multiple times now. bitching just to bitch is all this is.

Blue & Gold Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 After that first season maybe Amato had a heart-to-heart w/ Terry & told him the hyper-hurry-up-throw-it-all-over-the-field offense (which I loved & which was a lot of fun to watch) didn't give his defense enough time to rest? Maybe to go back to that style offense would require more defensive depth? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDZip Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Miami took out Buffalo so the Zips Ohio and Miami are the only teams that can win the East without help now. Miami's fate will pretty much be decided in the next two weeks as they face Ohio and Akron. There is no reason these Zips should not win this division.

Balsy Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Now for an update on the standings. There is absolutely no excuse for why Akron can't come away with 3 more wins. And the MAC East looks like it's going to come down to Akron vs. Ohio, as we all expected. We'll see how tough Miami is up against Ohio this weekend. Go Redhawks, hopefully they can show just enough to make Ohio stumble. Ohio Still has Toledo on the docket, which should be the measuring stick leading up to our game with them. Looks like EMU is back in the cellar unfortunately. East Division 3-1 Akron (4-4); , Buffalo, Miami, Ohio, Kent 3-1 Ohio (6-2); Miami, Toledo, Akron, Buffalo 2-2 Miami (3-5); Buffalo, Ohio, Akron, EMU, Ball St. 1-3 Buffalo (3-5); Akron, BGSU, Ball St, Ohio 1-3 Kent (2-6); BGSU, WMU, CMU, Akron 1-3 BGSU (1-7); NIU, Kent, Buffalo, Toledo, EMU West Division 3-0 Toledo (6-1); Ball St, NIU, Ohio, BGSU, WMU 3-0 N. Illinois (5-2); EMU, Toledo, Ball St, WMU, CMU 3-1 W. Michigan (5-3); CMU, Kent, NIU, Toledo 2-2 C. Michigan (4-3); WMU, EMU, Kent, NIU 0-3 E.
