Question for those that were at the game

[3rd base fan]

The early season games of short passes over the middle have disappeared. those are the easy passes and we only throw to the sideline which are the hard ones. They killed us on the sideline screens but u have to have the players big enough for the blocking exposing our weak cbs. They also threw the middle which was often open. 5 and 10 yards over the middle is nonexistent.

[3rd base fan]

Manning couldn't catch either dropped at least two easy catches.

If you have two hundred yard rushers, even though the numbers are a little misleading, it should open up the passing game. It didn't seem like they had any short passes designed to get the ball in the hands of the playmakers. It's nice that they tried to get the ball downfield but for the most part the long passes had no chance. It's really hard to be positive about the rest of the season but you've got to line up with who you've got. Hopefully the coaches can do a much better job of putting the players in a position to be successful.

No swing passes, no outlet passes, no screen passes. A&M defense calling out our offensive plays before the snap. How futile could this offensive play calling be?

This^^

A&M did all of the above and it was mind boggling why MU did not.
I was at the game and, even though they’re were not receivers very wide open, Zollers couldn’t have hit them if he had three Jerry Rices out there. I haven’t seen a worse performance from an MU quarterback in 50 years.

But the routes/play calling gave him no chance of success.

You are obviously exaggerating for effect, so I will give you the attention you are so desperately craving

What performances are #2-3-4 on your list?

Because a statement like that needs some perspective.

I may have used hyperbole in the heat of the moment.
Here are some bad ones - but the difference is we knew Mauk and Gabbert could play very well.
Matty Mauk vs Georgia - 34-0 loss. Mauk was 9/21 for 97 yards w/ 5 turnovers, 4 INTs and a fumble.
Texas destroyed us in 2009 when Gabbert was 8/16 for 84 yards w/ 1 TD. No RB had more than 37 yards so it was a bu*t-kicking.

It's ridiculous to believe that Zollers can't or won't play very well too

[11WSChamps]

Zollers is going to be fine.

He has to play with real bullets flying to be coached.

Question I have is Moore the right fit for his talents?

I'm beginning to think he's not.

If there isn't steady improvement or at least a light at the end of the tunnel the next three weeks then Drinkwitz has to move off Moore. If not he risks losing a QB a lot of programs coveted not to mention Olugbode.

Offenses are ever changing, adapting.

It's time for Drinkwitz to get with it in the passing game.

Matty Mauk vs Georgia - 34-0 loss.

Maty with one 't'. That spelling was just one of the things that bothered me about Mauk.

I liked his performance against Georgia in 2013 much better.

He was quite the wildcard for a couple years there.

Bud Sasser was a beast that game.

It’s ridiculous to be so sure he will play very well.
I’m waiting to see what is your definition of “very well.”

"No easy throws to get him into the game or any rhythm which they had two weeks to script for at least the opening drive of each half."

I was screaming about this at the TV

They seem to spit the bit the longer they have to get ready. That was a poor game plan yesterday. Very poor.

It does seem that way. I didn't research it, but what's our win % after an off week?
After the first few games this year I thought we had lots of weapons on O. Was that fool's gold related to the competition or are we not taking advantage of these weapons. Is Zollers not a phenom? The only "open" receiver I remember seeing Saturday was Coleman on a crossing route near the Red Zone (Zollers didn't see him.).
I knew we were up against it facing #3 with a Frosh QB starting his first game, but I thought we'd be able to hang in there & maybe catch a break (I know, we don't get many) & somehow pull out a victory. By the 4th quarter, that possibility was fleeting. As the temp dropped, the wind picked up & all kinds of trash was flying around, I'll have to admit I wanted to leave before my wife did & that's a first. I've been to all 9 games so far, but Saturday was disappointing. Fortunately, Saturday is supposed to be beautiful & I will probably play Gustin before the game, so life is great even if our football isn't.

Ah....the classic troll move of "he hasn't done it yet, therefore he can't nor won't"

[Mizzoufan443]

the reality is that burden and wease masked the ineptitude of our coach’s passing scheme the last two years. Both got consistent and huge separation, and both caught pretty much anything that came their way, when it actually did (and it didn’t often in long balls). this has been a problem under Drink’s tenure and is somewhat characteristic of his feckless passing offense
