Delaware Post Game Meltdown

So much for those undefeated and 10-2 predictions on this board. Mora really knows how to kill attendance at the Rent.

The only thing worse than watching this game was having my 18 month old granddaughter here for a sleepover. I have curse-word overload and it's giving me indigestion.
Also, I guess, the fact that I re-upped my ESPN Plus subscription and paid to watch this show.
Now at least I can pound some beers in the hot tub and swear at the bubbles. , this just sucks.

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

Do you honestly believe we would have gotten to overtime if Evers was the starter?

Defense would have given up even more points because we wouldn't have been able to move the ball, and offense wouldn't have scored more than 21. We would have lost by at least 20.

We can knock Joe for his accuracy, and he made a bunch of bad throws today. But he completed 74% of his passes for 350 yards. Last year Evers completed 54% of his passes and managed 900 yards over 8 starts.

Can we please be real here.
 
There was only one bright point in the game.

We had a properly officiated game and lost fair / square.

I have no problem with this unlike last week where I think they had their hand on the scale - the ones in the booth from far away anyways….

lol no meltdown. We are just not good. One of the parents I talked to on opening day said the defense isn’t good. And it isn’t.

Maybe we can put up 6 wins. But I wouldn’t bet on it.

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

I am so mad. This loss was terrible. They couldn't stop the run and gave up three big plays. Then when they needed to make a play they couldn't make it. How does a Fagnano miss the tight end twice on short throws? Then why not go for the field goal to put them up by 6 which means they have to drive the field for a touchdown.
Then in OT they are down at the two and do a straight run and instead of running it again they throw a lousy pass to the tight end which was high, Then Green gets beat to the inside for a sack on third down.

UConn couldn't stop them when they needed too. Just a disappointing loss to a team they should have beat. Two weeks in a row UConn blows it
 
This was an awful loss and a disgusting performance by the defense. I can't get over how slow we are when we blitz -- we take terrible, looping angles and we just take a year and a day to get from the snap to the backfield (if we even get there).

We couldn't stop the run up the middle. We couldn't stop the run on the edge. We played off their receivers and consistently gave up 8 yard passes. When Delaware opened things up our corners did not seem able to handle 1v1 coverage in space.

Today the 3-3-5 felt like a 3-8 because I swear to god there was just no one covering the middle of the field from 5-10 yards.

Given where we want to be we should be able to get a stop when we need one against a middle of the road C-USA team. We never even came close today.

A 7th year QB  has to know you can't throw to a tight end short of 1st down in that critical spot.

The route by the TE was terrible. The TE was back pedaling and hadn't cross the line of scrimmage. The whole operation was terrible made worst by a bad throw.

Rosa probably ain't playing much anymore this year after that fumble. It's clearly why he doesn't play and it's too bad because he's great besides the fumbles

He has a constant issue of running into his blockers, which was partially why he didn’t see the defender come and knock that ball out.

Losing programs find ways to lose games, it’s a mentality. Good ones find ways to win. He talks a great game, can do some things that appear on the verge, but Mora has a way of finding ways to lose. Has no hand on the dial on how to close a game, at all. Scrodiddle seems to invert when it matters.

Fagnano should be able to make those throws. They are easy throws to make. Sammis cannot be blamed for that.

Yes, Sammis can, because he has chosen the starting QB, and has further chosen to stay with him. His choices, his responsibility.
 
The transfer portal can be a hit or miss. There looks like some big misses on the defense. this year. I was worried going into the season that we would have win a lot of high scoring games. I wasn't as worried after our defense played a great game against Syracuse until the 4th quarter. After this week I am back to thinking we need to score a lot points to win games this year. I don't think people should give on this team yet. A lowering of expectations would be in order though. Maybe a winning season with a bowl bid should be the best we can expect. Lets see what we do the next couple games before we give up entirely on this team.
This loss does really hurt.
 
I know the O wasn't THE key problem today, but I still think Gordo is in over his head. Very little creativity, and I don't mean trick plays. At this point I'd even take a draw play. Few if any passes over the middle. Designed QB runs. Would a little misdirection kill us?
With that said, the D blew this game for all the reasons people mentioned. Bad penalties, bad tackling, etc.

Agree but the first pass on fourth down was just terrible. He had time and was just so far off.

I will be there next week and hope for a much better outcome.
 
The defense needs to run steps as they couldn't tackle and just blew coverages a few times. Again a loss that just is so frustrating
 
.-.
Next week put 11 orange cones on defense. Maybe somebody will trip over one. Send a guy over the middle all day long. Not a soul near him.
 
I am a military combat officer veteran. The commanding officer is responsible for EVERYTHING his subordinates do........good and bad.

No excuses.......Mora is the CO. Case closed.
 
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
