Not saying that had nothing to do with not advancing. Team sport, team effort, coaches included. Kids will make mistakes. NFL players make mistakes. My issue has nothing to do with any of that. My issue is your misuse and wasting of talent. You cannot depend week in and week out on the same guy or same two guys to make every play, that's not fair to him or the team. You cannot be vanilla every week with your offense, or dissapear 2 quarters every game. When you watch other games on weekends tell me what you see offensively both NFL and FBS. What are you seeing that is successful on the offensive side of the ball? The game has changed. What would Shane have done if he didn't have a Martin or Jody to bail him out this season. You can blame the kids for only so much. But if your going to blame us not making the playoffs the past couple years because of dropped pick, or a missed field goal your wrong and not looking at the big picture. In all honesty We have the talent, but it seems to me that the team has not maybe been mentally prepared for the gruesome November stretch every season, whether or not that's the coaches fault or players fault I'm not sure. But I can say this, everyone of those kids on that team cares, because if they did not they wouldn't have played their ass off in the fourth Sunday and come back and send it to OT the way they did. It's tough I think we are sll upset in the fact that we have kept ourselves out of the playoffs these past couple years.

GOpenZ:
There are some quality guys here year in and year out.  I love getting to meet their families and see the quality young men that have been brought up and become Youngstown Men.  As mentioned...it's one of the reasons why we come to these games, to support great kids and great families and be a part of the Penguin family together.  Thank you Sean (and Christian, Joey C. and Nate A. ...and so many others that i have met) of being apart of this family for the last several years.  Sean...I hope that your presence on this forum and at a game or two each season can continue.

Separately, it is a team game, coaches, players, and fans alike consist of this team.  I believe Coach Jim Tressel has made this comment back when he was coaching, and I will try to paraphase the best i can:
You can't lay blame on a kid for messing up on one play.  One missed INT.  One missed reception.  One fumble.  It shouldn't come down to one play.  The game (and season) shouldn't come down to one play.  We should have win the game(s) by three touchdowns and not had to worry about "one play".

Thank you very much. I will stay active in this forum and will attend games still! That Tressel quote is very accurate my friend.

Been saying this since the first game that Christian did not have a catch (Michigan State last year).... If YSU wants to win games then CB needs to be somewhat of a factor in the passing game, not only back there fielding punts. The coaches do not always recognize talent sometimes and are too caught up with the newest thing sometimes that works out, but a lot of time in college football that is not the case.
These fans do not realize what they are going to be missing out on with the Seniors that are leaving. Every single one is an impact player.
With a loss expect an entire new coaching staff before YSU goes on Winter Break.
