What did AM do to lose the team?
- Thread starter skerinks

It's always comforting for a fan base when you watch a team, see one glaring problem and say "fix that, and we'll get rolling." We've become experts at that over the years. Fix the turnovers....fewer penalties....make one more big play. etc.......and the wins will come.
This is not that team. We suck equally in all areas. Today, we won the turnover battle. We had fewer penalties. We blocked two punts. Two. If NU has ever blocked two punts in one game, I don't recall it. And we still lost to a 2-6 Purdue team with their 3rd string QB. This thing is so far from coming together, it's hard to fathom.

Martinez is having a horrible year, but a horrible OL is compounding the problem.
Don’t know what his issues are. Maybe injuries. Maybe having a loaf in the oven.

Ooooooh, that's a juicy one.... perhaps...TG made the wrong decision to leave.

I have watched PB play (he is on right now) the last few weeks and wonder what might of been with a typical smash mouth type Big 10 team with a big strong 6'5 QB with a strong arm playing instead of this finesse product on the field. I am sorry I am not sold on this way to play Big 10 football.
if the offense does their job in the 1st half Purdue quits/nu doesn't fold.
Exactly. We should've been up 21-0 and not looking back.......
I disagree. This team more than others feeds off the QB. When AM fails them, they act in response. He missed so many easy throws that would have made this game so different. And then me walks off the field like nothing matters. This crap show is on his shoulders.
Does their job ? Is Frost allowing them to do their job ? When you call tight end screens with a midget blocking for him doesn't seem conducive to success.
with another bye week next week, unless 100%, I questioned him playing to begin with... following his struggles, sitting him down (even briefly) seemed warranted.
The offensive ineptitude in the first half, despite numerous opportunities, doomed the outcome of this game. A failure to capitalize & step on their throat, allowed Purdoo to hang around long enough to prolong the contest.

he had time to pass today. I'll repeat this a lot probably...he stunk. But frost didn't help him a bit. How many times have we watched other coaches try to make a mobile qb a drop-back qb/put a skirt on him for fear of injury. How many designed runs did he run in the 1st 3 quarters? How many times did frost go to the screen well when that is not a pass Martinez can complete and when he does the other 9 guys don't block?
Martinez isn't good. Frost is worse.
Frost is a the major part of "offense not doing their job" IMO.
