anyone fill in my freshest moment of Alzheimer's ?

I'm not that bummed about this loss. Had Toledo lost, this would be an all timer. But this was the entire year encapsulated perfectly in two halves. The best and worst of 2017 Huskie football. I can live with 8-4. 9-3 would not prove anything to me unless Childers became a leader today. It will have to wait till next year.

What bums be about this game is it highlighted so clearly how the scared and conservative approach of NIU Carey offense destroys this team. Offers me no optimism going into next season

Just stop

Once fans have an AX to grind they never let go of the sharpening flint.

Once a poster has an agenda, every post they make is slanted towards that agenda. The topic can be about the QB, the rb, the lbs, the facilities, the uniforms anything or anyone, it doesn't matter, they'll steer it towards their agenda. It discredits everything they say.

The hard thing to swallow about this loss is that we still have a poor QB situation. Childers was absolutely terrible in the second half. The offensive play calling was horrid as well. But Childers either overthrow or completely missed receivers. Although I am not sure how or even if they were open, he just threw the ball in the wrong place all game if it was over 10 yards down field. I actually thought Carey should have put in another QB in the 4th quarter. Childers needs to improve his passing game if we are to have any success next year. He is too slow to be a running threat.

On the other hand CMU's QB hit his receivers in the second half. hey played with desire to win. NIU did not. But, I think we will have a solid team next year. We just need a QB to step up and play better.

Checking w-l records for this season, there are many teams who would love to have an 8-4 record. Huskies had some dissapointing losses but also squeaked out some wins that could have been losses. 57 teams have losing records and only 14 of those have a chance of winding up 6-6 sqeaking into bowl eligibility.

You are describing yourself perfectly rabid. Your agenda blinds you from seeing facts

I have no agenda. When I say I think Childers lacks play making ability, that's all I mean. Conversely, when Childers misses a deep ball for the 10th time in a row, you say it's from a lack of a sophisticated route tree...I.e the coaches...I.E...Carey. If Childers does well, it's because of Childers talent. When Childers does bad, it's how Carey uses him. I'm down on Childers because he limits the entire offense. Nothing more. They could replace Carey after this season and it wouldn't mean much to me. I give him a B this year. Mostly because he recruited this defense. He's 8-4. And the Nebraska win. But tHis offense is a mess. I can't say if he's got terrible QBs or just bad ones that he's mis-using, but either way the offense is a mess.

Games where NIU had the lead of and blew it,

Iowa at Soldier Field

Toledo at Huskie Stadium 2002
..recall we were up 14 or 21 after first quarter thanks to Sheldon punt return...

....I recall being once
up on EMU byabout 28 at EMU and they came back to win or tie the game in the late 90's

Its clear you have an agenda when you don't point out the 100 times greater problem of an inept head coach. There is not one QB in the MAC that could succeed in NIU's offense right now, not a single one.

Miami in the 2010 MACC comes to mind. Didn’t NIU blow a big lead to Idaho in 2009 too?

Didn't Ohio come back against us at home a few years back when we were pretty invinsible at home.

Was that in 2006 right after NIU lost to Ohio St.?

SIU loss at home when we were up by like 3 TD vs Jerry Kill in the 4th? We hired him the next season.

If Logan Woodside was NIU’s QB, the Huskies would be 11-1.

This team made it to 8-4 without a quarterback. It’s Carey’s fault this team has no quarterback 2 straight years, but not his fault the 3 current quarterbacks stink. Look at Michigan’s substandard QB play this year under QB guru Harbaugh. Talent has to meet the coach halfway (and vise versa).

You cannot win big games or championships without a good QB. Michigan lost to Ohio State today primarily because of poor QB play. Their guy reminded me in some ways of Childers but with slightly more ability.

I would not use Logan Woodside to illustrate your point: he is a subpar runner as a QB, which is a prequisite to this offense to be fully effective. I also disagree with the no talent comment. We have a QB on this team with a near 80% completion on passes over 25 yards. It takes some level of talent to do this.
