Griz will be fine. Having your best LB and cover guy out the first half hurt a lot. Then our all conf shut down corner Loud didn’t make the trip. We had two true freshman DBs playing at the same time the whole game. Get Loud back to take away half the field and all is good again. That scared me a bit though!
I agree with you hooked. You’ll be favored in every game the rest of the way. But you’ve been reading these boards all season so just like we heard how bad we were losing to SDSU at home, and bad running game etc………

You’re gonna hear a little something about Gilliam having negative yards and needing a come from behind, wide receiver reverse pass to starting QB to beat Idaho state….

You guys would have a HAY day if it wax the Cats in pokey this weekend
All valid points. Although Gillman came back very strong and had a big 2nd half. Someone said he may have had the flu. Not sure but he seemed a bit off until he didn’t.
How many excuses is this now you’ve posted about the Gris barely escaping Idaho State?
No kidding. If their defense can’t handle being down a couple starters, they’re not all that. And they haven’t been all that with them.

C. Wash 329
UND 460
Ind. St. 387
Idaho 370
ISU 497 (giving up over 400/game going into the excuses game).
I’m not surprised that the ass hat who publicly posted on this forum that Gillman is not very good at football and is overrated would place an emphasis on yardage and not scoring when it comes to defensive stats. Last I checked, it’s scoring that wins or loses a football games. Griz are giving up 25 per game….not great….but 5th in the conference.
Only 25 per game? Cuuuute! We’ve allowed 20 total in the last four games. FCS teams have scored 50 total points (10ppg) on us and 13 were in OT.

Some of this conversation seems a little ridiculous. Who would have won on a hypothetical week is a little crazy to me. That’ll all be decided later on in the year. If we really are more deserving of better seed, we’ll prove it in November.
Be careful. You make way too much sense to be posting anything in here. Your delusional brethren are certain that the Cats are the best, the Griz are overrated, the refs and announcers favor the Griz, and the FCS coaches and writers are clueless.

lol egriz is the absolute worst at this. Perhaps because people over there respond too much to the trolls like you. Kinda wish we all ignored the people that hop over here just to stir things up. But here we are.

Obviously these hypothetical games don’t produce any real results, and we have to wait until November for the team to prove itself. That’s the logic! But as a fan, how can I not get excited and debate every possible scenario? That’s how we keep the fire burning during this time. I’m looking forward to the day the team proves its worth!

Sure! Nothing wrong with it. Do I think it’s a topic worth debating with a Gris troll? Absolutely not. But hey, what are fan boards for.

Who would have won yesterday if it would have been Cat Griz, and on a neutral field?
If the Griz team who thumped Idaho showed up, the Griz. If the Griz team who struggled against ISU, the Cats. If the Cats team who struggled with Mercyhurst, the Griz.

Yep some of those teams are absolute offensive juggernauts 😂

Do me a favor so we can have this on record here twice…do you still claim Gillman is not very good a football and is overrated? Please let us all know your thoughts on this. Should be great.

Did the Griz sub down defensively vs Idaho because they couldn't stop them in 4th quarter. Idaho defense not much better than ISU.

Losing our shut down corner Loud and having to put in a true freshman in the back end hurt a bit. They had some long pass plays that led to scores after long scrambles.

I've read a lot about losing Loud and then the LB for first half of ISU. I the depth not good or just not experienced. Cats lost starting safety and LB vs Oregon and Dowler the other safety has played limits as last 2 games. Defense seems to keep getting stronger.

You continue to solidify your position as the least educated poster of all time. I would definitely consider #13 NAU as very capable offensive teams :lol: :lol: :lol: And EWU is averaging almost 28 points this season against their opponents not named Montana State - that average also includes FBS Boise State. The Cats held EWU to 3. Even San Diego is averaging close to 27 when you remove the MSU game where we held them to 7. I think it is pretty safe to say the MSU defense is phenomenal.

I think the MSU defense is excellent. But I have seen some here say it’s the best in FCS. I’d argue the Bison and SDSU are better still. And my point is that the cats have also played some horrendous teamed in San Diego, Mercyhurst, and EWU which help their stats. But their D is very good yes.

I think the one spot we all knew we’d be hurting depth wise was Corner. Loud has quite literally shut down one half the field on his own (best corner Griz have had since Tru) and losing a guy like that, at a position where depth was going to be an issue, definitely hurts. Unfortunately the drop off after Loud is quite large. We literally had two true freshman playing a ton of snaps at ISU. We need Loud back or we will continue to struggle.

Griz will be fine. Having your best LB and cover guy out the first half hurt a lot. Then our all conf shut down corner Loud didn’t make the trip. We had two true freshman DBs playing at the same time the whole game. Get Loud back to take away half the field and all is good again. That scared me a bit though!
I agree with you hooked. You’ll be favored in every game the rest of the way. But you’ve been reading these boards all season so just like we heard how bad we were losing to SDSU at home, and bad running game etc………

You’re gonna hear a little something about Gilliam having negative yards and needing a come from behind, wide receiver reverse pass to starting QB to beat Idaho state….

You guys would have a HAY day if it wax the Cats in pokey this weekend
All valid points. Although Gillman came back very strong and had a big 2nd half. Someone said he may have had the flu. Not sure but he seemed a bit off until he didn’t.
How many excuses is this now you’ve posted about the Gris barely escaping Idaho State?
No kidding. If their defense can’t handle being down a couple starters, they’re not all that. And they haven’t been all that with them.

C. Wash 329
UND 460
Ind. St. 387
Idaho 370
ISU 497 (giving up over 400/game going into the excuses game).
I’m not surprised that the ass hat who publicly posted on this forum that Gillman is not very good at football and is overrated would place an emphasis on yardage and not scoring when it comes to defensive stats. Last I checked, it’s scoring that wins or loses a football games. Griz are giving up 25 per game….not great….but 5th in the conference.
Only 25 per game? Cuuuute! We’ve allowed 20 total in the last four games. FCS teams have scored 50 total points (10ppg) on us and 13 were in OT.
Yep some of those teams are absolute offensive juggernauts 😂

Do me a favor so we can have this on record here twice…do you still claim Gillman is not very good a football and is overrated? Please let us all know your thoughts on this. Should be great.
You continue to solidify your position as the least educated poster of all time. I would definitely consider #13 NAU as very capable offensive teams :lol: :lol: :lol: And EWU is averaging almost 28 points this season against their opponents not named Montana State - that average also includes FBS Boise State. The Cats held EWU to 3. Even San Diego is averaging close to 27 when you remove the MSU game where we held them to 7. I think it is pretty safe to say the MSU defense is phenomenal.
I think the MSU defense is excellent. But I have seen some here say it’s the best in FCS. I’d argue the Bison and SDSU are better still. And my point is that the cats have also played some horrendous teamed in San Diego, Mercyhurst, and EWU which help their stats. But their D is very good yes.
Sure, there’s been some bad teams in there. Regardless, MSU is holding all of them under their average yardage and scoring totals. UM, is not, even when Loud was healthy. Even UND had their highest yardage output against UM (looking at that box score, it’s quite a feat that UM won btw).

At the same time, it’s early in October. I expect there to be a lot of improvement with your team and MSU made over the next month or so. Looking at UM’s schedule, I’d be shocked if they lose another game between now and MSU. Cal Poly is looking surprisingly decent, but everybody else on your schedule is pretty bad. Hopefully MSU wins out their schedule too and we have a great setup to the best rivalry in the nation.

I've read a lot about losing Loud and then the LB for first half of ISU. I the depth not good or just not experienced. Cats lost starting safety and LB vs Oregon and Dowler the other safety has played limits as last 2 games. Defense seems to keep getting stronger.
I think the one spot we all knew we’d be hurting depth wise was Corner. Loud has quite literally shut down one half the field on his own (best corner Griz have had since Tru) and losing a guy like that, at a position where depth was going to be an issue, definitely hurts. Unfortunately the drop off after Loud is quite large. We literally had two true freshman playing a ton of snaps at ISU. We need Loud back or we will continue to struggle.
Sounds like Bobby has been recruiting well. ;)
