Re: GM 8 Football vs Maine 1pm Saturday Oct 30 FloFootball.com
We're on to Maine. Lost two games in a row by a combined score of 72-7? Doesn't matter, we're on to Maine.
Even after the ugliness of the last two weeks, we're still 5-2 with a 3-2 conference record, we're still ranked in both polls, and we still have a good shot at the playoffs if we can turn things around Saturday.
Here's our remaining schedule:
Maine (2-3/3-4)
at UMass (1-6)
New Hampshire (2-2/3-4)
at no votes/T 42 Elon (3-1/4-3)
I've said the last two weeks haven't been must wins, but I think Maine is a must win. Yeah, we can lose to Maine, then win out and have 8 wins and no 8 win CAA team has missed the playoffs since the expansion, but I don't want to go into the last game at Elon needing a win to get to 8 and I don't think 7 wins gets us in to the playoffs unless the committee gives Thorr a favor in honor of his service to the committee.
So it's that simple. Beat Maine and stop the bleeding, give URI fans a reason to travel up to the UMass game, and get back on the playoff track

I will be cancelling my season tickets on Monday. I’ve had them for 7 years. I just don’t have a desire to do this anymore.

Looking like 5-6. Need to make change at the end of the season but we won’t.

It would be so on brand to follow a 5 game win streak with a 6 game losing streak!

I would agree. This team will not win another game playing the way it has the last three outings. A season winning record (just one more victory) is in doubt. Who would have predicted that sitting at 5-0?

Re: GM 8 Football vs Maine 1pm Saturday Oct 30 FloFootball.com
Gave up over 500 yards
I thought our defense was good?
Do we have injured players or something?
I haven't actually watched a single game, so like what are they doing differently? Are teams just adjusting to us and we fail to adjust accordingly?

What happened to defense? Absolutely no pressure on the QB, wide open receivers on crucial plays and many missed tackles. Any other questions?

Team became too cocky and complacent when they were 5-0, ranked #12 and took the Patriots plane to Towson.
Go Rhody

We have a a lot of injured players, especially on offense. Defensive coordinator has been a disappointment. 0PeterRamTime wrote: ↑2 years ago Gave up over 500 yards

Pass rush, players out of position (receivers are wide open) and our DBs spend most of the game running on and off the field…too many substitutions. Add the missed tackles and dropped interceptions. That’s how you give up 40+ and 500yrs.
UMass has no passing game, their running back will carry the ball 25+ times for 200yrds.

In the three losses in the last three weeks, the defense has given up almost 1400 yards. That's insane.

They came out so flat. No energy at all.
They’ll most likely finish under .500 because I don’t see them winning any of the next 3 games. They have the talent to win 2/3, but chances are they don’t. It’s embarrassing.

Agreed. We’ve been starting flat all season, even against Bryant. Slow starts have finally caught up with us. We’re now spotting teams 21 points before we wake up.
I question if we even have the talent healthy enough to win 1 more game. We certainly will be at a coaching disadvantage.

Plus how many times did the running back just get to the outside untouched and then just streak down the field? Brutal

Re: GM 8 Football vs Maine 1pm Saturday Oct 30 FloFootball.com
So much potential squandered. Three straight losses by a combined score of 117-31 or an average of 39-10. There would have been no shame in going 1-2 over the last three game stretch if the two losses had been competitive, but we haven't been competitive in any of the three games except for one 10 minute stretch in the second half against Maine.
I don't see the way forward at this point for the program. Fleming has clearly brought in the most talent we've gotten on a consistent basis since probably when Floyd Keith was head coach here, but we're still 9-16 in the CAA since 2018, which was his fifth year here. Besides, does anyone have any clue what his contract extension looks like? It was never announced by the school and was never reported on by the ProJo or Independent

And here is why you should put absolutely 0 stock into what a majority of this board says. Since this post boldly proclaiming our guys have quit, we out played Maine in the second half, got our first win over a FBS school since 2000 and dominated a UNH team we've only beaten twice since 2004.PeterRamTime wrote: ↑2 years ago Down 14-0 5 minutes left in the first quarter

(I will politely point out that this particular poster stated later on in the thread that they have yet to actually WATCH a game all year, yet he felt comfortable enough to claim that the team has quit. Similar posts can be found in the basketball section with "experts" who haven't actually watched a full game, been to a practice etc)

You didn't think the team had quit after being bludgeoned 72-7 after two weeks and then down 14-0 IMMEDIATELY in in first quarter when we historically have done almost nothing but lose?
We just won our 7th game for the first time since 2001
How in the moment that I said that can anyone who knows anything about this program blame me?
It's still absolutely pathetic that we lost those three games the way we lost them when we obviously had no business playing that poorly.
