We sucked. Okay, Waquoit? But when is Jacobs ever not gloom & doom about anything?

I mean, what's the mood supposed to be around the program right now?

Over 700 yards and 70 points.

I don't care what scheme you're trying to implement with whatever personnel you do or don't have. Should never happen.

Thank God for the fans who are willing to speak up (or "complain"). Otherwise we'd have a bunch of @sportsart @UConnDan97 complacent losers who accept this garbage as part of the process.

I get that, and there's no hiding that the D is a catastrophic mess right now, but Edsall is just 5 games into his return here. He knows more about the Xs and Os than any of us here. Fine for Jacobs to bring up the D and all its problems, but are we already going to start casting doubt on this new regime this soon yet again? Seems like Jacobs always finds some axe to grind against UConn's coaches (and for him it's personal sometimes). Don't really need him to pile on.

Still ticked from last night myself, so if you think I'm off base here, fine. Just tired of the endless negativity.

theres complaining to do because we're pissed and sick and tired of throwing our hard earned money watching this. I get that

But please go the football roster and do a critical review of the DL and the DBs. While it won't wash away all the frustration it'll at least help with understanding where we're at. But it does suck

Yeah, I'm a complacent loser. I'm not currently in two other threads getting beat up for criticizing the defense.

As a coach once put it: “It’s not about the X’s and O’s, it’s about the Jimmy’s and Joe’s”.

How anyone can watch that game yesterday and conclude the scheme is the problem amazes me. There is a shocking lack of talent on that defense.

The only above average D 1 player on that D is Foley. That’s it.

How come you didn't end your post in italics?

Don't forget the young bucks, JMick and Stainmaster. You can't name a crappy performance in any sport that they can't find excuses for.

I normally ignore the opinions of 23 year old kids who spend this much time on internet message boards.

EDIT: I cleaned up my original response to you. If anyone else was offended, my bad (don't care if you were offended). Enjoy your break from the "unreadable Boneyard", Jimmy...
