The Official-unofficial Cat -und gameday thread

[Cat4LifeHouseDivided]

Whelp... I guess all the people saying that they just need to let Rovig take the ball got what they wanted. Oof.

Not saying he had a good game but we have 20 points if Jonsen learns how to catch a football.

I realize he dropped the long bomb, and that stinks. But Rovig's play was the #1 reason why the Cats lost today. I'm sure some posters will spin it. They always do. But there's no hiding from it this week. They gave him the reigns with very little interruption and the offense was completely inept.

If Andersen takes 40% of the snaps today, the Cats win in my opinion. I don't think that's even a stretch.

No. 1, are you kidding? Never mind all the special teams miscues that cost us points and failures to call timeouts to avoid delay penalties. A Jonsen catch, a fair catch and a timeout on the delat call before the fg...there is a 17 pt swing

[JimboCat]

If we just kick the extra point, then when we are down in our endzone punting, we can take an intentional safety, and still be up by one.

Or field the punt so it doesn't get to the 1/2 yard line.

So running Jonsen over and over and getting 2 yards each play didn't have anything to do with it? Or calling a deep pass literally every other play?

[JimboCat]

Should have won this game 23-10.

Dropped pass was 7.

delay cost us 3 on fg

1 for the extra point.

6 on the punt block for them

[JimboCat]

Just gave this game away.

[MSUBOBCAT4LIFE]

How bout that bobcat qb. Let’s just give up all the games. He can’t make decisions. He freaks out in pressure. And get a delay of game when we need to make a first. He doesn’t have it. Never will never has

[bcats]

No sense of urgency at the end of the game was unbelievable. We took 2 delay of game penalties in the 4th that absolutely killed us. It’s a miracle we were in this game at all the way we played and the way our staff coached. After a loss and a bye week. This crap should have been figured out by now. Any team that wants to beat us just watch the film. We are predictable and not hard to stop.

[technoCat]

You smucks giving the horrendous play by our wide receivers and oline a pass while piling on Rovig need to learn how a team sport works. Blaming Rovig is lazy and shows how limited your understanding is. Why did Kassis not field that punt at the 12? It was a stupid decision by a senior captain that put us in a horrible position and cost us a td.

Andersen can't play QB fulltime(injury) or I guarantee he is starting the entire second half.

The box score will not open for me. How many running attempts did Jonsen have in this game versus Rovig passing attempts?

Deep passes aren't called. They are attempted. Rovig makes decisions after the ball is snapped.

[John K]

We won't beat either UCD or UM, the way we've played the last 2.25 games (counting the 4th quarter against CP). Fortunately our other 2 games are against the 2 worst teams in the league. Rovig didn't play great today, but he was far, far from the only problem, let alone the primary reason we lost that game today.

[BStinsMSU]

This team's offense is as bad, if not worse, than the 2015 defense was. Staff lost their jobs over that. But there zero accountability to the staff for the ****** show on display this year. This all lands squarely in one place, and it ain't Rovig.

Haha, Rovig wouldn’t start on a NAIA team

I really don't think you even watch the games

At one right now, and that’s fine keep thinking Rovig can play, I will show beach front property in Arizona. The play calling is ****** because Rovig can’t play in the big sky, plain and simple. But keep thinking he can.

Mike Vick couldn't escape the pressure our oline has given up the last two weeks. Rovig was running for his life all second half just like last week. He may not be amazing but come on let's actually watch games instead of doing the same bs uninformed knee-jerk reaction that every loss is on the QB.

Name calling. Nice.

Rovig was not the only problem, but he was the biggest problem. I'm sorry that opinion offends you.

You assume HOFer Hi Line is watching the details instead of just spouting off.

[TJMoe82]

We need to pray that one of our incoming QBs can take the reigns next year.

This.

There is no magical player coming in and fixing the problem. This is a coaching issue... poor player development. Poor player usage. Poor game planning. Poor play calling. Poor game management decisions. Coach Choate has surrounded himself with a bunch of young and aspiring assistants, when what he and the program really needed was some experience to lean on. Just my two cents.

[bobcat99]

I think it is safe to say that the coaching staff is on the hot seat

Haha, seriously. After improving every year? I agree this game was atrocious on a coaching level but I highly doubt they are on the hot seat.

They should be. "Improved" is not all it seems. We improved last year because of a generational athlete at QB. Full regression this year. This team is no better in performance than Choate's first or second year here.

You don't know what you're watching.

I was thinking as bad as both the 2014 and 2015 defenses were - I wonder if Choate is the new Jamie Marshal of the offense?

[John K]

How bout that bobcat qb. Let’s just give up all the games. He can’t make decisions. He freaks out in pressure. And get a delay of game when we need to make a first. He doesn’t have it. Never will never has

The announcers said Rovig was yelling at the center to snap the ball when they got that delay of game penalty. I don't know if that's really true or not, but if so, then that obviously wasn't on Rovig.

Deep passes aren't called. They are attempted. Rovig makes decisions after the ball is snapped.

Mine won't open. I'm thinking about 10-12 for Jonsen and maybe 30 yards. With Rovig yes deep balls are called. Choate has said they coach him to go to his 1st read. If he takes a 3 step drop and throws a bomb, it was called that way.

He started yelling with 4 seconds on the play clock.

Running into pressure after 4 seconds in the pocket is strictly the fault of the QB. OL can't block for forever.
