Small Goals For Today v Cincinnati

[RSTuthill]

The game is out of reach no matter how well UConn plays. But I would personally like to see some small accomplishments. Perhaps:

1. Keep the margin under 21 or even under the spread which ESPN says is 35.

2. Win a quarter, preferably when the ones for both teams are still on the field

3. Keep the total yards allowed under 400

4. No complete collapse or capitulation

5. One nice completed pass downfield for >25 yards

6. No turnovers, but failing that, no fumbles or no interceptions

7a. A sack, or two, or three ... by the D
7b. No sacks allowed by the OL

8. A run for more than 15 yards gained.

Some of these are highly improbable and accomplishing all of them is prohibitively improbable. But doing any one or two of them would give us a glimmer of hope. Your thoughts?

If we're up by at least one touchdown at the half, Edsall gets $2000. Lol

Baby steps. LOL.

 

[Palatine]

The goal is to win.

Be nice to see an offense with some imagination keeping he Cinny defense off balance.

No offensive penalties once we cross the 50.

Movement from the DL before the snap.

Blitzing from difference positions.

DBs getting their heads around and making plays on the ball.

So in year 3 of RE 2.0 the goal is to not get beat by 35?

We are really raising the bar

It is what it is.

And within the five yard line in the red zone, mensah is on the field for every down.

9. Have fans still be interested watching after halftime

 

[LoyalFanCT]

Anyone on Boneyard willing to bet UConn will win the game!!!

No hope of winning? Ok, lets not play the game. Last week, the Miami Dolphins BEAT the New York Jets, so upsets are possible...and we might have an upset...

NFL's a little different - the talent gap isn't so far off that underdogs have no chance of competing like in college.

I give us a snowball's chance today, but I'm an optimist.
(I'll get chastised for this comment now, and in about 3 hours will get chastised for trying to talk people off the ledge after another destruction. It's the Boneyard way.)

And pigs might someday fly. Not this year.

 

[Adios]

We ain't winning with Zergiotis as the QB. Can we place him at the bottom of the chart?

Would have been better not to play.

 

[BugsyCT]

Cincy's already beaten the spread by halftime. I think so far everything has gone according to form.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

The defense is really no better, the schedule was just stronger last year.

 

[concerned143]

Small goal. Get to the plane on time

 

[concerned143]

Actually cincy football scored more than Sacred Heart in last nights basketball game

9. For me, eat less during the game.

 

[RSTuthill]

I guess our modest goals were too aggressive.

 

[Stinger92860]

Small goal. Don’t get shut out

 

[mike012]

9 = didnt happen. I watched 1 quarter and couldn't take anymore. Saw the score was cinncy 50 -7 or whatever it is

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

He already is. It’s alphabetical

 

[GridironGR8]

Small goal. Don’t get shut out

Congratulations. You are a winner.
