Done For The Year

If UConn could start winning with the UMass game, and win five straight, it could qualify for a bowl game this year. I know it's a long-shot, but it would make up for the mess that the team currently is in.

It’s very unlikeky we win the UMass game.
 
I have a colleague at work from mass that is delighted to have my tix. So there is four!

I don’t understand why there is so much talk about who plays QB. It really doesn’t matter who is under center for this team. The OL is pourous and the receivers can’t get any separation.

Oh and we have guys who look like the have never played the game before at linebacker. Talent there is worse than when Edsall took over program when it was division 2

Oline looked okay last night.

Because the team is awful and built to be competitive sometime in the future. So why only play a QB who won’t be here in 2 months?

I agree. I would like to see Pindell get his legs back like he had in the first two games. However, if we are 1-7 or 1-8 it wouldn’t be a bad idea to possibly let Washington and Krajewski rotate the last four games. MW has some playing time under his belt and has only one TD (first pass of his career) to six turnovers. SK has not touched the field yet but seems he should be able to handle his own. I say let the competition start early!
 
Start Pindell but give MW and Krajewski the entire 4th quarter if the game is decided. I don't understand the hesitation putting in the back-up QB when we know the game is lost.

As good as Pindell has been, Washington is a far more talented athlete than Pindell. Washington is a much greater offensive threat IMO and his much better lateral movement makes it difficult for pass rushers to get their hands on him. All he needs is PT to gain some experience. Pindell has regressed, he's not the same player he was four or five games ago.

Do you think that maybe, just maybe, defenses have discovered that Pindell is a threat and are paying particular attention to him? He hasn't regressed, and he's hurt to boot, for God's sake!

I can't blame the OP. This is truly the season of no joy.

Sure but why start a thread about it? This isn't a job and you don't need to call in.

BTW for anyone who feels the same way, if you start a thread like this don't post in this forum the rest of the year. Dropping out should include leaving this forum. You can't comment on what you don't see.

Please DM me you're hook up so I can get a hold of some of the good stuff.
 
I'm done emotionally but I keep watching the games to answer compelling questions like 'did we improve at all on defense?' or 'will we get to 3 wins this season?'
 
My going to the games the rest of this year looking for improvement in all areas of the team but especially hoping the defense can look better.

I like your enthusiasm, but it’s over Johnny. This team couldn’t beat Yale. I have to wonder if even Edsal’s recruits will develop into players.

If we don't get any legit juco kids in the next recruiting class, then expect another futile year in '19. We need a few, plus somehow convince a legit grad transfer or 2 or 3 kids to come here...and this just to have enough to compete on D. We cannot go thru another season where our D is swiss cheese from start to finish

You are what? 25 tops? Stop it.
We suck. It is worse than imagined. But the Buffs sucked ass just a short while ago too.

You think winning 8 games in the AAC will bring the fans back? I’m not so sure

If it doesn't matter who is under center, then why not start Washington and get him more PT in preparation for the next two years? And let Pindell heal.
 
I went camping this past weekend off the grid. I wasn't exactly in a rush to check the score of our game when I got home this afternoon. I'm not sure how 55-14 can be better than what I was expecting to see, but alas, it was. That's a helpless and sad state for our program.

It is what it is. I am a bit sick of that expression but it certainly applies here.

Pindell is playing fine. He isn’t the problem. But it’s obvious that this year is a joke so why play a guy who is gone? Start him...but get Washington and Krajewski time before there is 5 minutes left.

Because if your QB isn't good enough, you're not helping the rest of the offense play to their potential and grow.

It's not that hard folks. If he could play Washington without negative repurcussions to everyone else, he would.
 
Yeah, playing anyone but Pindell at QB in any non-garbage time situation only drives us further into the mud. We need to be able to move the football if for no other reason than running some clock. Washington is not ready yet. His toes should only be dipped into the deep end in garbage time and nothing else. He's working hard, nobody doubts that. It's just reality. Playing him more now could get him injured just from inexperience and then all of a sudden he's working out over the spring/summer to recover from an injury rather than building towards next season when we'll really need him.

One way to look at it. But another is that if he is not good enough to not even cause negative repercussions, he's not gonna be good enough next year. Time to start shopping again.

How do you know whether we're shopping or not?
 
The worst part of this all is that Edsall is recruiting worse players than Diaco ever did. The 2016 HS graduating class all had kids with some legitimate offers. Skanes, Hopkins, Degeorge, Garson to name a few. None of these kids coming in now have any FBS offers and their FCS offers are low level ones.
