see, its “rants” like this thread that keeps me from logging onto bdv after a loss! i’m sorry nss, this is another “uncalled for” over reaction. i am so glad that the majority of aggies don’t feel as if the friggin’ sky is falling just because we loss another game.
as far as i’m concerned, our program is way ahead of schedule compared to where we’ve come from. i mean, i just don’t get it! do we not remember where we’ve come from? we’re merely “4” seasons away from a 27 game losing streak, severe apr sanctions, loss scholarships, loss practice time, disqualified for postseason play, and no spring practice. we had to twist coach broadway’s arm to even take our job and this is the appreciation we show for an outstanding coach?
man, this is exactly why i hate logging onto bdv after a loss! some folk are like a bunch of “hens”. every time we lose a game the sky is always falling and the coaches don’t know what they’re doing. and now we’re gonna call for connell maynor to replace broadway? TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS!! beyond absurd!
some folks say people need to learn how to act when they win if their program is not use to it. but i say some folk need to learn how to act after a loss, especially when expectations have been set too high...

The sky ain't falling, but I'm concern. Surely you would agree, being held to 7 points at home is an issue and trending the wrong way. Losing 45-48 is a lot different than the last two loses. Granted NSS is generally over the top, but decipher the message, it's behind the rhetoric. |

I refuse to get into a conversation with a person or people who weren't at the game........
I like Broadway a lot - I want Broadway to succeed.....but the staff has got to do better than what they displayed Saturday. Ahead of schedule, behind schedule, on track, etc.......if anyone went to the game Saturday (especially after coming off of 2 straight losses), the words "ahead of schedule" wouldn't be coming out of your mouths.
Are we ahead of schedule for year #3 - I'm not sure. I have to see how the rest of this year plays out.
But I'm telling you - that offensive performance on Saturday would have been an eye-opener to those who believe we are "ahead of schedule."
I AM COMPLETELY BEHIND BROADWAY, but I'm still not excusing that performance on Saturday. He hired a new OC - we have more than enough talent for our staff to formulate a gameplan that will enable us to score more than 7 points, convert more than one 3rd down, and amass more than 200 yards.
Broadway is my (and our) coach, but that doesn't excuse that offensive performance on Saturday.
Those numbers on Saturday weren't even "barebone" numbers:
7 points (even less than the 20 we struggle to throw up)
1 out of 14 3rd down conversions (7.1% - OUCH!!!)
208 total yards of offense
These are some of the most paltry numbers I've ever seen - IN NO GAME should such numbers be excused.

Granted NSS is generally over the top, but decipher the message, it's behind the rhetoric. 77, i hurt in a big way behind this loss. but its still just one loss. its not the end of the world and there’s absolutely no reason whatsoever to “panic”. this time last season our record was exactly the same as it is now which is 3-3. this is not the time to begin “pointing fingers”. and this is not the time to raise concerns with our coaching. coach broadway has proven himself and to question him at this point is to penalize him for the “over achievements” that he has accomplished already with our program. this is no time to “meddle” with our coaches! despite the score, we only loss by 5 points to dsu. so after losing to hampton by 5 points (who by the way, beat nsu this weekend) and losing to dsu by 5 points, you’re saying its time to be concerned? well think about this? guess what? we didn’t score “any” points at all against dsu last season. we got “skunked” by dsu, 24-0! i clearly remember some of these very same folks saying the sky was falling after we loss to dsu last year only to finish the season on a 4 game winning streak to end the year with a 7-4 record. judge a coach and his coaches on their entire “body of work”, not on one friggin’ game. again i say, its way too early to panic. some of you guys play too many video games and are in a fantasy world. but our guys are human beings. we loss a game. well, ok. let’s not panic. let’s go back to the drawing board and see if we can fix it. but this is no time to push our coaches off the friggin’ plank... |

Star
I give DSU some credit, our center some credit, and bad play calling for our failures. The score should have been 30-7 for DSU

DSU AND HAMPTON HAS ALWAYS GIVEN THE AGGIES TROUBLE EVEN IN OUR BETTER YEARS. IT IS WHAT IT IS AND THE SKY IS NOT FALLING. WE NEED A LITTLE TWEAKING AND MORE DEPTH. THIS TIME OF YEAR IN A FOOTBALL SEASON DEPTH PLAYS A MAJOR ROLL.

Broadway had to start 2 freshmen on the offensive line (including the center position) due to injury. That in itself drastically changes the chemistry of the offense as we witnessed what happened with the high snaps and a bunch of missed blocking assignments. Also, was Devin Moore out as well? Defensive line was also down 2 people which explains DSU rushing for 162. From looking at the game log it looked like we had a lot of freshmen and sophmores on the field Saturday. Unfortunately I don't think we have enough experienced depth to replace 4 starters on the offensive and defensive lines without negative impact.

Hey guys, let's face it...our team (primarily offense) isn't that good this year. No, our offense is awful this year! The first 3 wins clouded our view but now it should be crystal clear...our offense isn't good enough to win ball games for us. Please Stop ignoring or denying that fundamental fact. The sooner you accept that as fact the sooner you will stop complaining about the coaching or play calling.
We don't have the talent this year to win...and I don't care how much coaching or play calling we do, it isn't going to get fixed by our next game. So relax, enjoy the halftime show and be glad the overall football program is on solid footing.

How many players on this team are all conference first, second, or third team? How many of our players on the field today would have started over the players our opponent had on the field? Since I don't go to the games, can somebody help me with this one? |

7 points.....
1 out of 14 first downs.......
200 yards of total offense.......
Those numbers are ridiculously, absurdly low; that takes into consideration all the injuries people are highlighting.
I'm not talking about winning or losing here.....I'm talking about offensive production.
Those numbers are unacceptable, folks.
Just so we're clear as we move forward, is everybody predicting (because of our "inferior talent") that we will lose to:
-Savannah St (1-7)
-Virginia University of Lynchburg
-FAMU (2-5)
-Morgan St (2-5)
-NCCU (3-4)
Before you answer the question, seriously ask yourself if our talent is that bad that we cannot win 3 out of those 5 games.......

I still say we win out. Fix some offensive issues and we go 8-3 and walk away feeling "good" again.

Looking at the preseason all-conference lists (since nobody wants to answer my question), offensively we have two second team all conference linemen. If I'm reading correctly, one of those linemen appears to have gone out with an injury and was replaced by a true freshman.
No one else on our offense made first team, second team, or honorable mention.
I'll rest my case.

Unfortunately I don't think we have enough experienced depth to replace 4 starters on the offensive and defensive lines without negative impact. i think those are very important points, decks. coach broadway previously stated in a press conference “before the scsu game” that he thinks we’re 2 years away from being where he thinks we can be and this explains why. coach made this statement even “before” we loss our last 3 games. once injuries kick in to our starters or even on a rotation basis, we’re too young at virtually every position to compensate for the lost of any of our starters. our starting d-line is already tremendously “undersized”. we just don’t have the “experienced” depth to compensate for losing starters to injury. every coach knows at some point in the season that somebody is gonna go down to injuries. i think coach broadway saw this coming. not the losses, but the cost of losing starters to injuries... |
