Missed Catches

Despite the bad coaching calls & simple game plans… we’re only a few catches from 2 more wins.

Missed catches are the crux of our season. Just a few more grabs would have made a world of difference. Run game is truly beyond excellent, so we have the core. It’s just those dropped balls.

Some logical coaching calls and a few catches and we would be in the top ten.

If “ifs” and “buts” were candy and nuts, we’d all have a wonderful Christmas. 😂

Point taken, but it just goes to show how razor thin the margins are…and those few drops and bad calls add up.

I’m more disappointed at the mentality of our receivers. They were so excited to showboat for beating up on Northwestern State. The unsportsmanlike conducts for taunting were ridiculous…should have been benched for a bit. Instead, nothing really done to curtail that stupidity and what happens next? One of our receivers opts to try and eat a hero cookie by opting not to pass on a sure two-point conversion but tries to run it in and gets stopped flat in his tracks. Then, dropped passes in the clutch. Maybe the receivers should concentrate less on their celebration routines and more on catching the damn ball! 🤷‍♂️
 
In the McNeese game, the first 3 or 4 passes went to the east sideline where the sun was going to be directly in the eyes of the receiver. QB issue or coaching issue, I don't know, but I'm sure they were having trouble seeing the ball. Run the play to the other sideline and it may have been a catch. I hope they are at least learning from it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Who does that?

The issue is that the margin should never have been “razor thin”. We were roughly two touchdown favorites against both Lamar and McNeese. These two programs, while on the rise, have been bottom dwellers in a mid-tier FCS conference.

We’re in for a rough ride in conference play. If we play extremely clean football we can compete with anyone outside of Bozeman. I’m sure we’ll surprise once or twice, but there’s no reason to think we can compete consistently. We’re not as talented as we used to be nor as well coached.


I hate to come on here and be negative all the time but Jay Hill proved what this program is capable of and we’re nowhere close to that standard.
