GDT: @ Misery State Bears

Re: GDT: @ Misery State Bears

I am with other posters in that I don't think this game tells us much. D looked pretty soft and the offense looked like it was scoring a ton of points against a terrible defense. We looked pretty good against one of the worst if not the worst teams in the league.

Seems like we focus on the deep routes too much. TCs accuracy is off and 2/3 and 10s are rough. I think focusing on shorter routes and getting positive yards would help this offense against better teams. Then once we get momentum then try it deep.

Re: GDT: @ Misery State Bears

I agree there were positives. But the performance in the first half is what concerns me the most. We ended up wearing down an inferior team as we should. If we played like that in the first half against USD, NDSU, Illst, or even Western it would have been ugly.

I hope that Daniel has earned the RB spot as I think he's our best back. I liked seeing Dallas get his yards, but I'm still concerned with Jake. TC's accuracy still wasn't there IMO.

A win is a win. But I'm not sure I feel any more confidence than I did before it.

Agreed. D played well in the second half, but I think the writing is on the wall for that side of the ball this year. They are young and when they play well, they look decent. When they dont, they're just terrible. And that inconsistency has been a theme.

I think whoever said we need to win games via shootout is spot on for this year. When we play a team with a lock down d that we can't match scores with, we are in big trouble.
Based on the schedule ahead, all four play good d. It'll be interesting to see what we can dial up to overcome that.

Re: GDT: @ Misery State Bears

It was still nice to see Dallas being Dallas, TC running the speed option, and the defense playing better in the 2nd half. Agree that MSU is not great but there are still positives to take from this game. Still a lot to get better at though too but it was a step in the right direction in my opinion

No kidding. This tells us abut as much as a win over Drake or Duquesne, IMO.

Yes Also Mediacomm had problems

My dad and I weren't using Roku, Chromecast, etc. I used Chrome as the browser, so I wonder if lack of Roku or Chromecast could explain at least some of the variation. Those aren't really options for me, as I don't own a TV.

Can't wait until Nov. 4. Hopefully the Bison are what's "buffering" that afternoon, resulting in multiple INTs and fumble recoveries for the Jacks.

It was Misery State. I will continue to hold off my judgement until we see results against a competent MVFC team.

This is the appropriate response to our victory in Springfield.

T-minus two minutes until someone says this was all in spite of Stig. It's like the Jacks' version of Godwin's Law

My son uses Apple TV, not Chromecast. I think if you're having buffering problems, you should talk to your internet provider. (Anyone having buffering problems with Midco?)

Yep. My house and brother in law in sioux falls.

Re: GDT: @ Misery State Bears

It's really odd but I've thought this year has been a very good year for ESPN3 reception etc. Today I was rapidly jumping games on ESPN3, using the Chromecast to put them on the big screen. It worked flawlessly. I'm in Watertown and have Midco -- we have consistently good service, good internet speed etc. (And, yeah, I pay enough for it too!)

Same local and internet for me. I haven't had much issues with buffering this year, my issues have been with ESPN3 completely dropping feeds with a bunch of different games this year(I spend my Saturdays bouncing around Valley games), including the ending of today's game. They were absolutely terrible about it at the beginning of the year, it was a nationwide problem.

Zero buffering problems for me today (Midco), even while streaming multiple games.
