There may be "NoPlaceLikeHoo", but there certainly is a place for Hoo: Never Never Land.

Recruiting is really the key. If they're decent, they still have a sales pitch for recruits: new coach, change in culture, academics, etc (see the flowchart). Even a few wins is too many.

I would agree if there was actually that much hate, so much as that much criticism that is echoed/reinforced by French'es analysis.

Make no bones about it, BC has a good defense. They're bottom 4 at best because their offense is actively trying to set the game of football back 30 years. We should know, we dealt with it ourselves the last few years, but BCs problem is they don't have the talent to overcome to putrid design.

But back to that defense, they're good. Despite having a shit offense, they lost all their games last year by I believe a combined 77 points, which, when you figure they went 3-9, that means they were losing by just over 8 points a game. Not bad. And we just pants'd them.

I got the impression that the coaches wanted to keep showing different effectiveness from those same formations so that the teams looking at this, to scheme against it, would see a very large number of options they needed to try and plan against.

They were saying, "And when you see this formation, do not forget you also have to have a LB out wide because Rogers does this outstanding wheel route capable of scoring consistently anywhere near the red zone."

I dunno, he's probably the best coach they've had since Welsh. The sooner they run him out of town the sooner they can fuck up another hiring decision. If he gets them pointed in the right direction and playing with a little confidence, they might end up being decent in a couple years. As it stands now they are a complete joke, I say let's keep it that way.

I wasn't hating on Stroman, just thinking about taking something off his plate. He has improved 100% as a punt returner this year as his first move is no longer backwards like it was last year.

At least the good news for them is that it's only possible to lose once this week.

Agree whole heartedly with everything you said. Couple extra kudos:
Adonis brings some serious attitude/swagger to that secondary.
Ken has had 3 games in a row where he regularly wreaks havoc in opponents backfield (and a lot of missed holding calls against him).

Lastly, the changing of gears in the play calling throughout the game was beautiful. Seemed like every time BC had something figured out, we hit them with something different. The TD to Rogers and to Cunningham were both plays that I said, "wow, great play call, great execution!" And they were both in 3rd Q when we had the chance to play conservative...instead we stepped on their throats and man did it feel good.

If you treat a successful red zone trip as 7 points and assume we hit all our PAT on the TDs you list, we end up with this:
2016 - 81%
2015 - 73%
2014 - 67%
2013 - 63%

I honestly feel like this is how they should rate red zone efficiency, if they don't already. Sure, you could conceivably get 114% if you always scored TDs and 2 pt conversions, but you could just call it a "rating" instead of "percentage" and let that ridiculous team have a rating of 114.

to be fair, only David Wilson is fast enough to catch a shadow

The record is Notre Dame beating Navy 43 times in a row.

As I've said here before, I want to beat that record.

Scottie Montgomery stops by your office on Monday mornings to give you retroactive fantasy football start/sit advice.

"You should have sat Antonio Brown for Travis Benjamin, then you would've won."

I'd like to see Bradshaw get going. I was expecting him to step up this year.
