Yep. I just kept thinking we would go back to what was working through 3 qtrs and we never did. Like we were trying to out smart them.

We did . We ran it almost exclusively on first and second down. We played conservative ball control all game. We didn't get away from it we just did not make the plays.

We've been doing it all year and got away with it until the Navy game. For some odd reason we've put handcuffs on Lynch throwing it downfield for several games now. I don't understand it. Again we keep playing the shell game with our opponents lately and are coming up snake eyes.

It's like OMG we have a chance to be really good. Let's not blow it.

Maybe he's nursing an injury?

Then why would they be running him more. The coaching staff has been outguessing themselves. It's like they're anticipating the opposing coaching staff seeing on film what's working for us so we're trying to fool them in doing something else.

Do what works until they can prove they can stop it. Not before they prove it. We played right into their hands.

It seems like ever since the Tulsa win. I cannot understand it either. We have gone back to the passing offense from Lynch's freshman year. Let the guy go down field.

WHAT PART OF HE IS NOT MAKING THE PLAYS GOES OVER YOUR HEADS? He has been off for the past three games. Making poor decisions and not putting the ball where it needed to be thrown.

Yep, like he is supposed to be Tom Brady every time he plays. If not he is "off".

Can't hang the guy out to dry when he touch's the ball on every offensive play and makes 1 mistake.

That 65 yards wins the game tonight. He's been more tentative lately. That's obvious. Maybe the bad interception against Navy made him lose his confidence a little or maybe the staff is babying him a little. On a side note, where the hell was Henderson. The guy is a beast.

Welp this has ruined my sports fix for the year.. Yes I'll be happy if we win a bowl game but thinking about what could have been stinks.. Welp have to wait for Baseball to crank bk up to get my sports fix going again!!

Lynch was unconcious until the last two or three games. He's still playing well just not beastmode right now. I think it falls as much on the coaching staff than anything though. Don't tell me you haven't questioned the play calling when we get a lead and the stupid prevent not to lose defense with an entire quarter to go.

Bottom line is we blew a huge lead giving up 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Somebody needs to step up and give us an explanation for that.

After they scored the 3rd TD with relative ease, we should have brought the house on every passing situation. We couldn't stop them any way. At least try to force the guy into a bad decision.

The overall way we played the 2nd half.

We still can't defend the pass to save our lives. Instead of bringing pressure and sticking to what was working, Scott gets SCARED anytime we play someone who can throw the ball. Fire him tonight. Make him walk back to Memphis.

Had Ward stayed in we'd have won by 40.

Nothing left to play for this season other than double digit wins.

Book your Birmingham Bowl tickets now.

Still pretty heady stuff for Memphis football, considering that we've only done it once since 1938.

Sure.... Not as if that stat even matters.

Quit living in the past. Same stupid arguments used in basketball. Just stop...

At the beginning of the season saying us winning 10 with losses only to Navy and Houston would have been great.

But, once you get to 8-0 with wins over Cincy, Ole Miss, BGSU. You start looking ahead to maybe something special.

We took one on the chin against Navy, got it. Still have a chance by beating Houston.

We were up 20 IN THE 4TH QTR...

We called a stupid pitch inside our 22...

Lynch threw the dumbest pass he's thrown all season.

We dropped 2 interceptions.

We stopped getting pressure on the Houston QB. (We didn't get stopped) (We just stopped)

We sat back and left Houston WR's WIDE OPEN.

Maulet still can't defend the long ball.

We have the ball inside FG range with 30+ seconds left and a timeout, ad Lynch throws 2 passes in a row. THE ISSUE is why was he passing at all? We're already in FG range. All we have to do is CENTER the ball and try to get a few more yards.

Memphis was the better team 100% tonight. Our defensive Scheme SUCKED once Postma came in.

Offensively, our play calling became very questionable, we went conservative too early.

Don't even get me started on the kneel down to end the 1st half.

We're up 13. On our 30. 2 timeouts left and 30 seconds remaining. We didn't even try anything.

Several people have been saying that conservative **** was gonna cost us. Bet Fuente would have gladly taken a FG there now.

We have go to stop stopping ourselves, period...

No excuses. Horrible coaching.

Played not to lose. When you do that you give the momentum back to the opposing team. Every frikking time. Never fails. Coaches had a great game plan in the first half. We were super aggresssive rushing the QB. Didn't do **** the second half. Same people different philosophy. That's how you blow a 20 point lead twice. I could eat nails right now. With a side order of bolts and rice.

WTF are you talking about. We did not change anything in the fourth quarter when we let a 20 point lead get away. They made adjustments to slow down our inside rush. We ran 1st and 2nd down all game long. We just did not execute correctly after going up 20 that last time. Fumbles and Interceptions killed us. We played ball control all night. We ran the ball 54 times and only threw it 32. And 7 of the passes were in the last drive. We were almost 2 to 1 run over pass. Do you just automatically go to already programed comments without actually examining what happened?

I was saying during the game, while watching it, we were getting away from what worked. We started trying to run outside against a speed defense. Our success was coming when we ran right at them. It's not just calling a running play, it's the type of play. The last 3 possessions when did not call the same plays that had been working. We were trying to get outside.

Dorceus was stopped going off tackle in the last 3 and out. The play before the interception we had a long run off tackle..We were running up the middle where we had made yards in the first half. Just did not execute them in 4th quarter.

We game planed to play conservative the entire game. We had a large lead with the conservative game plan. Before the last driver we had ran it 54 times to 25 passes in order to control clock. We did the same thing to them that Navy did to us until the last half of the 4th quarter. We controlled the ball and limited their touches.

The main difference is that Ward could not hit the side of a barn tonight and the backup could. Just one more first down in any of the three back to back to back series late in the 4th and we win.

So why not run the plays you have had success with all night instead of trying to out smart the other guys.

Lynch threw the dumbest pass he's thrown all season.

We dropped 2 interceptions.

We stopped getting pressure on the Houston QB. (We didn't get stopped) (We just stopped)

We sat back and left Houston WR's WIDE OPEN.

Maulet still can't defend the long ball.

We have the ball inside FG range with 30+ seconds left and a timeout, ad Lynch throws 2 passes in a row. THE ISSUE is why was he passing at all? We're already in FG range. All we have to do is CENTER the ball and try to get a few more yards.

Memphis was the better team 100% tonight. Our defensive Scheme SUCKED once Postma came in.

Offensively, our play calling became very questionable, we went conservative too early.

Don't even get me started on the kneel down to end the 1st half.

We're up 13. On our 30. 2 timeouts left and 30 seconds remaining. We didn't even try anything.

Several people have been saying that conservative **** was gonna cost us. Bet Fuente would have gladly taken a FG there now.

We have go to stop stopping ourselves, period...

We game planed to play conservative the entire game. We had a large lead with the conservative game plan. Before the last driver we had ran it 54 times to 25 passes in order to control clock. We did the same thing to them that Navy did to us until the last half of the 4th quarter. We controlled the ball and limited their touches.

The main difference is that Ward could not hit the side of a barn tonight and the backup could. Just one more first down in any of the three back to back to back series late in the 4th and we win.

So why not run the plays you have had success with all night instead of trying to out smart the other guys.

Did you not see Dorceus stopped in his tracks on his last run inside? Stopped for no gain the Lynch scrambled for 5 yard gain before throwing a pass to no one on third and five.

WHAT PART OF HE IS NOT MAKING THE PLAYS GOES OVER YOUR HEADS? He has been off for the past three games. Making poor decisions and not putting the ball where it needed to be thrown.

62%, 62%, 65%
343, 305, 278

Not my definition of "not making the plays"...

He jumped on MT90's Lynch is garbage bandwagon and is trying to justify it instead of admitting he was wrong

Lynch was unconcious until the last two or three games. He's still playing well just not beastmode right now. I think it falls as much on the coaching staff than anything though. Don't tell me you haven't questioned the play calling when we get a lead and the stupid prevent not to lose defense with an entire quarter to go.

Bottom line is we blew a huge lead giving up 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Somebody needs to step up and give us an explanation for that.

Explanation: Our defense has 8 new players. Lets just go ahead and buy out Fuente's contract because he sucks because we lost 2 games in a row. Most people on this board were predicting a 7-5 or 8-4 season but now people think we should be in the national playoffs. Come back down to earth. We are a pretty good team but not a great team but we are a year away from being real good. At least we are better than Ole Miss. 2 games to go plus a bowl game. Could be 11 and 2. I will take that. As coach West said how Memphis has a negative element unlike he has ever seen. This was our game and yes we blew it but it is better than being 4 and 6 or 6 and 4. Please fans don't say screw this team and not show up for the SMU game. They deserve better from our us.

Sure.... Not as if that stat even matters.

Quit living in the past. Same stupid arguments used in basketball. Just stop...

At the beginning of the season saying us winning 10 with losses only to Navy and Houston would have been great.

But, once you get to 8-0 with wins over Cincy, Ole Miss, BGSU. You start looking ahead to maybe something special.

We took one on the chin against Navy, got it. Still have a chance by beating Houston.

Yes. And I saw him stopped other times as well. Yet I saw him gain almost 120 yards running inside.

No excuses. Horrible coaching.

Played not to lose. When you do that you give the momentum back to the opposing team. Every frikking time. Never fails. Coaches had a great game plan in the first half. We were super aggresssive rushing the QB. Didn't do **** the second half. Same people different philosophy. That's how you blow a 20 point lead twice. I could eat nails right now. With a side order of bolts and rice.

WTF are you talking about. We did not change anything in the fourth quarter when we let a 20 point lead get away. They made adjustments to slow down our inside rush. We ran 1st and 2nd down all game long. We just did not execute correctly after going up 20 that last time. Fumbles and Interceptions killed us. We played ball control all night. We ran the ball 54 times and only threw it 32. And 7 of the passes were in the last drive. We were almost 2 to 1 run over pass. Do you just automatically go to already programed comments without actually examining what happened?

WTF are you talking about. Our 32 passes were little dinks to the outside receivers. Most all of our passes were to the sideline because we were afraid to throw a pick. We waited til the last drive to throw a halfway decent pass down the middle. It worked and then we dinked again to set up for a 48 yard FG? We were in the middle of the field. They were giving us the middle of the field. We throw a two yard out? We needed yards. We still had plenty of time. Their backup QB threw downfield at least a half dozen times. We never did once. Our big pass play for the night was on a screen. Take that one away and Lynch probably throws for less than 200 yards.

What was the adjustment they made to slow down our inside rush? Tell our coaches to go Tampa Two and send less guys so an inexperienced QB had all day to throw? We played not to lose and we lost. Period. We played tentative after we got a twenty point lead twice.
