I don’t think anyone is giving them a pass for a horribly coached football game. Again, my claim is very modest: that the trope is not 100% false.

Do you think the trope is 100% false—that it had absolutely nothing to do with our asstastic gameplan? I don’t.

Obviously the poor Bryce performance, sloppy penalties, and turnovers were a much more significant factor.

      - It was not good, but it was also just a bizarre game. Would we have known if they figured it out in the second half? There were four drives. We got a TD on one, another was killed by penalties, and another by a fumble .* - By Bluebuck September 11, 2026 at 01:56:15 PM
- Whittingham doesn't strike me as the type to play games and doesn't have the luxury with a new team of playing games. They wanted to run a bunch of rhino and it didn't work and Bryce was terrible* - By LewisBullox September 11, 2026 at 12:38:20 PM
