If they want to have a chance to beat Buffalo the play calling cant be as stupid as it was against Baltimore. Almost every 1 st down play in the 2nd half was a dumb run up the middle with Mixon for 1 or 2 yards. It was ridiculous. They had like 0 first downs for 10 minutes or more.

No matter what the defensive stats were from 2021 to 2022 the defense was still terrible.
They played 4 good offenses- PSU, Maryland, Michigan and Georgia and gave up over 30 points every game. The defense was awful when it counted. If your defense lets Clifford throw for 370 yards you know you suck.
2 most important games of the year the defense folds and gives 28 2nd half points to Michigan then loses the Georgia game by giving up 18 in the 4th quarter and pissing away the NC.
No one ever should be saying Knowles is any good. He hasnt accomplished anything.
Look at this effing lineup Holtmann had in the game for like 3 minutes. He has lost his mind. Until the last sub he had Brown, Likele, Okpara, Sueing and Thornton. Not 1 outside shooter.
Sueing and Key have been just terrible tonite.
Key cant shoot at power forward range. He is awful. No way would any coach play him at the #4. He cant move, cant guard , has zero ball handling skills.
No one misses more shots in the paint than Zed Key. I just dont understand why Okpara is not playing more. If he doesnt have more upside than Key then he should have never been recruited.
9 points in 12 minutes against the worst team in the league. Embarrassing. Laughable I guess.
Gayle should be playing and getting experience instead of brick layers Likele and Brown.
He is certainly the only one that carries this team in the clutch at the end of games.
This team misses more easy shots at the rim than OSU team I have ever seen.
Already, Key misses a 2 foot shot and Sueing a dunk.
Not sure beating the worst team in the league means anything. Maybe beating Iowa will do something.
He likes 5th year players (Likele) that cant shoot. Remember it took Likele leaving the team for personal reasons before Sensabaugh started.
Will Holtmann's astute strategy of putting your best offensive talent and top 15 NBA pick, Sensabaugh on the bench to start the game again work ?
Last game the team scored a whopping 2 points in 5 + minutes to start the game.
Maybe if the Bulls fire Billy Donovan, he would want to come back to college.
Ravens are going to win this game. You can see it coming. They are more physical in the lines and are not making the bonehead mistakes the Bengals secondary has.
And stupid Dax Hill gives the Ravens a TD instead of a FG with a face mask.
Just stop with the Ohio connection stuff. At Ohio State you go out and hire the best coach regardless where they come from.
Like in football, nobody in Alabama gives a rats ass where Nick Saban is from.
Holtmann literally has no idea who to play or how to substitute. It is like watching a TBall coach shuffle kids in.
This team has a top 15 NBA pick and the coach has him on the bench. We get that Brice needs to improve his defense but this is just incompetence.
Young team? Not really.
Sueing: 6 years. Likele : 5 years. McNeil : 4 years. Holden : 4 years. Key : 3 years.
They actually are an old team.
This young team excuse is for losers.
At least he has one. Warren never has had one. His puckering during the covid crisis was embarrassing and a disgrace. It took Justin Fields and the parents to bail the entire league out.
One of the things that is bad about Holtmann is he wants his team to play like Butler. At a slow, slug offensive tempo. That kind of offensive basketball sucks.
His offensive tempo rankings in the nation: this year 221. The 4 previous years: 289,251, 280, 274. Awful slow, dribble the ball for 15 seconds and then try to get a shot. His offense destroys good offensive talent like Branham last year.
They seem to never get layups or fast break looks. No open 3 point shots when running a fast break.
Good players want to get out and run and score. I know fans cant stand McCaffrey but his Iowa teams are entertaining. Fans and his players love playing that kind of basketball.
You must not watch much basketball or referee basketball at all.
That is stupid. It was a split second decision a person has to make. He got it wrong. No ref gets 100% calls right.
The refs last nite did a 10 times better job than Holtmann did coaching.
I would rather see Holtmann suspended than any ref.
I think it was Hawaii and they lost to SDS.
It is not just this game or moment. Its all the time. His teams' cant beat the full court press at the end of games. Horrible coaching after timeouts. Losses to teams like Oral Roberts. Inexplicable lineups and substitutions.
He has NEVER won a conference title at any school.
