money Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 If I were to use one word to explain this season it would be frustrating. When we win it still feels like we lost. I fully believe Kelly is the man for the job and has done a great job so far his first 4 years but damn it is frustrating. The frustration in my mind is due mainly to our offensive production or lack thereof. When Kelly came aboard I thought we were going to run an uptempo offense that slings it all over the field. We have yet to run anything similar to what Kelly ran at his previous schools. For the most part it boils down to the Qb position and not have the right type of QB or a QB with a handle of the playbook enough to run the offense. Rees as much as I appreciate what he has done for the program is like fitting a square peg in a round hole he can't run and struggles with accuracy. Golson who should be a prototype for Kelly's offense just seemed lost at times last year but even still we never ran uptempo. I chalked that up to relying on your strengths and allowing your D to win games. I was looking forward to this season with Golson hopefully having a full grasp and being able to run the offense the way Kelly's teams did in the past(pre ND) but we will have to wait until next season hopefully before we see that. It has to be frustrating as well to Kelly to be handicapped at the most important position but there just are some things I still can't get a grasp on. Why do we have an empty backfield with 3rd and short on multiple occasions. The D knows Tommy is not a threat to run. Keep a back in if nothing else to give the D something to think about. It seems as though we continue to try to run the offense as though we don't know we have an immobile QB. I guess my point is that we have yet to see an Kelly team with an ideal QB or an experienced mobile QB for the Kelly offense and we are still winning games. Overall I am very pleased with what Kelly has done with recruiting and winning games however ugly they maybe. It is just frustrating as hell.

isikorsky Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Share the frustration. I don't understand why Kelly has such BAD offensive play calling. What is with all the deep balls by Rees ? Why was Rees throwing all these long balls on 3 & 1 ? We have a freaking workhorse running back. Why isn't ND running the ball! Am pretty happy to have kid sports duty next week & won't be able to see the Oklahoma game live. I have a feeling I am going to be hitting that FF button a lot!

VCDomer Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Please someone be bigger and not let another thread turn into a PT against everyone else thread. Remember... We know what we know. Engage those you can get the kind of thoughtful exchange you prefer. Otherwise... Choose to not respond.... It gets way to monotonous.

marcwithglasses Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It's an embarrassment that this team continues to underperform, look unprepared, and look so unimpressive all the way around. It is very FRUSTRATING and unentertaining to the point I question who would want to come play on this team? What top level recruit is going to think this team on the rise? No excitement around this program at all right now. Dull and boring. No sense of urgency. open the last 2 games w/ 3 and outs? more 3 and outs than actual drives? Play book with 2 pass plays and 3/4 run plays? 3-1 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
