And anyone calling for Evers to come in is ridiculous. Joe isn’t perfect but we absolutely get blown out if he doesn’t play. He led the offense immediately down the field after nearly every time Delaware scored, but the defense did him no favors

Why do people forget Evers was our QB last year and we had 9 wins. Sure Joe is great and puts up great numbers, until the game matters. What has those great numbers got you 1-2 record. Yes defense sucked today, but not last week and he's the one missing the easy pass when it counts, he's the one who gives us no running threat and he's the one snapping the ball with 20 seconds to go on play clock up 3 with just over 2 minutes left and other team with only 1 TO left.

You're just ignoring the question.

What do you think the score would have been if Evers started? As you calculate that, remember he he averaged 118 passing yards per game last year.

Last year, he's new and improved this year 🤪

Bottom line, the offense didn’t do enough to win. Couldn’t punch it in when they needed to. Couldn’t run the clock out. Of course the defense was terrible. So the o had to do more.
 
Sadly, the discussions here sound like the kind had when a few key missed plays against a quality opponent matter.. This was an absolute, inexcusable embarrassment.

Move on from Fagnano. Need a mobile QB see what Evers can do and if he is not the answer then you know for next year. On the fourth and 2, if he makes a decent pass to the receiver it's a first down, game over. OT, if he leads the TE he walks into end zone. Throws it behind him. He has no accuracy and no mobility

100%. I think Joe was a year behind me and I graduated in ‘86. We need a mobile QB at least for these option situations to run and not whip it behind our TEs.
And we sh.. the bed in OT. God we looked bad.

Nice idea. Wish we had one of those.

We don't.

Congrats gentlemen cutting the program is officially very much back on the menu. I thought those involved would have taken this more seriously. Sad!

Let’s stop this charade! UConn is not, and never will be, a football destination. You have to be what you are…and it has nothing to do with football. Drop the sport completely…save the money!

You might miss the only remaining win. Or one of the few. Or maybe win out. Who knows? Who cares?
Nobody's going to beg you.
 
So much for building on last year. I too bit hook, line and sinker. Fool me once, hell I'll let you fool me time and time again

By next week, I'll actually think we might win again, I'm that guy. It sucks being a fanatic

Thank God they can't do this to me twice a week for 5 months

As embarrassing as this day has been, big time programs do not make small time decisions. If you want to be URI or Vermont then to each their own.

The O is decent, we can run and sling with most.
The D, we knew we were in for hard times but the portal we got some hired guns.
They just happen to not be not so good.

He needs to watch the tape. The role up corner, who is bailing before the snap, and the over the top safety were giving up chunk plays with slants, straight turn and throw to the receiver in the slot and then big plays over the top on the side line. Whenever they lined up with 2 wrs on the wide side they got chunk plays. We lined up10 yards off of both wrs when they snapped the ball. 2/5/4 can’t defend the edge against the run. They always got the corner running wide. And your 2 linemen on the field get beat up with double teams and the offensive line can easily get to the second level. The guys didn’t tackle and make picks/plays. But the defensive philosophy playing 2/5/4 bend don’t break really was bend then snap. Ended up playing a lot of reps on D.

I saw that too. The scheme is either broken or they are using it wrong.

One of the safeties picked up the receiver in the slot and he had like 15 yards of cushion.

Maybe he needs to call a play that fangnano can make, then...

He was a solid play caller last year. So far he gets an F this year.

Right. He was so unexpectedly good last year I feared we'd lose him.
Being Mr. positive, I was thinking he's built like Parcells so maybe, just maybe, he'd be the offensive version of Bill and take us to new heights.

The defense is reminiscent of Edsall 2.0

Terrible angles. Terrible tackling. Guys in the wrong spots. Dumb penalties on 3rd and 4th down. Not big enough to hold our ground at the LOS. Not fast enough in the secondary to catch anyone. Guys bouncing off shoulder pads. Heads down all the time.

Horrendous effort today. They seemed like they didn't want to be there.

Every word of this post is correct.

The team just needs to keep practicing and work on improving every day. No one said it would be easy. Just keep grinding

I hope your idiotic sunshine and rainbows outlook…is as right as it turned out to be for hockey last year, honestly.
 
Got home a little while ago. The UConn bus tried to pass me getting on the Delaware Memorial Bridge, but I didn't have the heart to let him in and just sped away, kinda like how our defensive let Delaware outrun us today.

The only positives I could think of now that I've partially calmed down:
-saw a bunch of UConn fans and was surrounded by many in K section, so we represented well (some guy was wearing the old derpy dog logo)
-our offense can mostly move the ball except when it's 4&2 and the game is on the line
-we beat 3 targeting penalties...the zebras really like to target us with targeting, would be nice to have some called in our favor
-I can now delete and unsubscribe from every stupid email that Delaware wants to send
-I don't have to hear anymore smartazz blue chicken fans calling our football a joke
-my wife liked the lunch I packed for us

I saw more heart in our team from 2 years ago. This defense lacks a leader, lacks a closeout mindset, and really needed to get a turnover today to help us. There was a dropped INT they could've had to take away some of Del's tempo. Delaware wanted the win more...I dunno what the hell our defense wants. Losing to the fruit last week made me ticked but eager to see a bounce back. Losing today made distraught and really worried for the rest of the season.
