Some of you need to stop trying to talk football

b/c you are showing your ignorance.
"We had one on one coverage" -- No we didn't. You may think it was b/c you don't know, but UMD played a lot of 3 deep and quarters, quarters, halves. The backed off, which is why Chad kept throwing Sammy the spot
"We're predictable on offense" -- WTH? If by predictable, you mean we'll take what you give us, then yea. As long as people back off #2, we'll throw it out to him. See the Syracuse game to find out what happens when you play man free. Also, check our run/pass ratio if you're worried about balance.

York, what is your opinion on why the offense seems off

Lack of a good inside running game? It seemed like all runs longer than 4 yards were C/D gap runs. Also lack of a power back.
Or, inconsistent play at the WR position outside of Sammy Watkins. It seems like the coaches are trying to get more time for Williams and less time for Bryant. Boyd doesn't seem as in sync with those guys as he is with Sammy. I think that's part of the reason for his inconsistent play. I think the injury to Peake hurt a lot worse than people realize.
TE play is down from the last few years. The guys at the position now don't seem like they can match the play of Allen and Ford.
All of the above? Just curious.

loss has hurt us more than anyone anticipated.
But, if 40 points and over 500 yards is struggling, then I think we've successfully changed the culture around here.

big stuff...
I like Hot Rod, but he's not a true RB. I think Brooks is, and I think he'll be really good. I would like to see him get more touches. AE was the best pure tailback we've had in a while, and that includes Spiller.
I also think that the last few weeks, people have decided to take away deep stuff, and make our guys beat them after the catch. That's an automatic 5-7 per play, if we execute. The problem is that we haven't been able to do it b/c of ball handling, bad reads, etc...
It's not the scheme. We are still one of the most dangerous offensive teams in the country. You can tell b/c of how people play us. The are saying they will let Sammy, Adam, etc... catch it and run, but you're not gonna throw it deep. They are banking that we will make some mistakes, and we have. If we don't we roll people no matter what they do.
Concerning FSU...
1. They're d@mn good
2. It got out of hand and we couldn't get it back.
3. They gave us stuff, and we just couldn't make the plays.

mostly agree, except about a.e. over spiller. both are

capable of long runs, but i feel that a.e. used moves more, while cj had better overall speed. both were capable of, but not asked (much)to run between the tackles, and i wouldn't want either one to, myself. they just don't have the body type. cj,imo, caught the ball better out of the backfield. i am glad we had them both, i just liked cj better, and that's just my opinion, and you know what they say about those.

Spiller was a heckuva player, but he's not a true TB...

AE hit the hole much quicker than Spiller. Spiller was more of a homerun threat, but even with his size, AE was much better between the tackles.
Also, as shifty as Spiller is, AE had the quickest burst I've ever seen at the line of scrimmage.

This team misses AE and Hopkins more than people realize

they were enormous difference makers that no one on this team can come close to replacing. We have a great #1 receiver and then a bunch of good receivers. Last yr we had two NFL threats and a tailback that could take it the distance at anytime.

Although I tend to appreciate what you say York, I disagree with a lot of it. Stacking receivers that close to the sideline allows one man to jam the first and break the momentum of the second forcing a bubble screen and allowing neither to break deep down the sideline. It also forces either a short gain to the sideline or a skinny slant that nets maybe 5 or 6 yards. I definitely prefer a conventional slot and wideout. Secondly that play often worked in the past couple of years because Hopkins and especially Brown were GREAT downfield blockers, oddly enough this is where we miss Peake more than even his receiving ability, although Hopper looks pretty good as a downfield blocker from his work Saturday. We need to throw deep even into coverage because right now, we are throwing short into coverage as safeties creep up no longer respecting our deep ball, leaving extremely small windows behind the linebackers. Our tight ends have disappeared for the most part in the last couple of games and in some cases aren't even being covered even by slow linebackers.
