Huge away game against a solid Albany CAA Team

[spookydog]

My cousin's son is a freshman offensive lineman for UAlbany. Am hoping for numerous Rhody sacks...just not against him. ha

Anybody going?

[ramster]

I had planned to go early in the season but plans didn't work out. Will be glued to the screen at 3:30pm.

[RI_Rams]

Go Rams!

[ramster]

Jcru,
We need you for this big game.
We need to win them one game at a time. This is a tough Albany team playing on their home turf

[RhowdyRam02]

Well, that was easy for them..

[Rhody15]

Well, that was easy for them..

And again

[RhowdyRam02]

What a gift from Albany's qb!

[FmrRamFB1]

Fire the OC, he’s terrible. 1st and goal and we don’t run McKenzie for the 2nd straight game.

[Rhody15]

Welp, we’re onto Assumption on November 1st.

[bigappleram]

Fire the OC, he’s terrible. 1st and goal and we don’t run McKenzie for the 2nd straight game.

The offense should have been built around McKenzie. OC is awful. And so is our defense.

[RhowdyRam02]

What a terrible half. Our offense was bad, our defense even worse. Down 28-3 and it's not even that close

[Rhodymob05]

What happened to this team.

[Jdrums#3]

Jekyll and Hyde team. You never know which one will show up half to half, game to game. Bummed because I thought they were a playoff team this season.

[RhowdyRam02]

What happened to this team.

No idea. Can't even blame injuries, our two deep has been remarkably consistent all year

[RhowdyRam02]

I think it was a mistake to go for it there on 4th and 16 from the 19. Yeah you need a lot of points, but there's such a low percentage of converting and now it's still a four possession game

[FmrRamFB1]

What happened to this team.

Smoke & Mirrors…We beat bad teams.

[FmrRamFB1]

Fleming needs to make changes to his staff or else next year will be worse. This was a complete embarrassment.

[Rhodymob05]

What happened to this team.

Smoke & Mirrors…We beat bad teams.

Albany isn’t a world beater though.

[bigappleram]

What happened to this team.

Smoke & Mirrors…We beat bad teams.

We went toe to toe with a 5-1 FBS team.
The talent is there.
Scheming against the talent was awful.

Abandoned the run, don’t throw to TE, became very easy to defend. Kasim was never the most accurate and is much better passer off play action/RPO. Once we became one dimensional we became very easy to stop.

Our D line and linebackers have been a disappointment all season besides Peña.

Fire Coach Flem !!

[damram]

I hope Farrell gets some time next game.

[NYGFan_Section208]

I hope Farrell gets some time next game.

Will Farrell? from this?

[PeterRamTime]

What happened to this team.

Jim Fleming

[FmrRamFB1]

Fire Coach Flem !!

Yeah, it’s time. Thor needs to but he won’t unfortunately. Fleming has done a great job recruiting, but his in-game decisions are asinine. We start every game with a coaching disadvantage and the rest of the conference knows it.

[PeterRamTime]

Only a Flemimg coached team can have that much talent at the FCS level and still find a way to suck.

There's just no way this team should be getting beat that badly.

I dont watch all the games, but it sure feels like our opponents make adjustments that we are always unable to adjust to. We started off hot this year, we run into a tough opponent and they have a good gameplan to slow us down and then we just can't handle it.

No other way to explain how his teams inexplicably get blown out like they do.

[jcru]

We look better on paper than we actually are. Remember all of those FCS season stats you quoted me in favor of Hill?

Well, when your receivers are doing 40,50,and 60+ yard catch and run TDs at the beginning of the season, over and over, it might explain why your 58% completion rate QB is ranked #3 in the country for all of FCS in passing yards, etc.

And now they are not. And so begins the descent.

He's now actually ranked number #1 in the country in passing yards as of today, yet the team is 4-4. How does that even jibe?

The OC is awful, that became apparent vs Villanova, and just gets more apparent as the season goes on.

People complaining about a 8k stadium, may want to kiss Thorr's boots for getting that done when he had the chance.

[Farrell_Fan]

I hope Farrell gets some time next game.

music to my ears

[Bos8]

I dont watch all the games,

Then why do you feel so comfortable to come an anonymously make definitive statements about your perceived failures of guys that have spent their entire lives in the game and have their livelyhoods tied into the results of these games? You don’t even watch the games!!!

Well of all the games I've watched I've seen the same kind of mistakes over and over again. It shouldn't be controversial to feel that way since basically everyone knows that it's true.

I also know that finishing with 2 wins with 3 NFL players on your roster in the FCS is an abject failure.

Fleming, great recruiter at this level. Bad game coach.

If you can't make the playoffs with the type of talent we have at this level then there has to be one common denominator. Jim Fleming.

How else do we almost beat 6-1 FBS Georgia State and get destroyed by freaking Albany?
