This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Our QB struggles to throw the ball downfield by RoosRule

That has been a fact his entire career, which means we are unlikely to have a ton of WR yards because there are a lot of screens and short passes built into the system intentionally to play to his strengths. I was concerned about his lack of touch on many short passes, which may in fact be regression but let’s give it a few games before we declare it. He didn’t have a great game, but he played well enough, it was the first game of a strange season with less prep time than normal, and we stuck with the run even when it wasn’t going great, which all of you want.

Mayer and Kyren looked great, Wilkins came out of nowhere, and Book is who we thought he is. Can someone not point out the positives and accept the known short comings, without being called a Kelly-excuses?

And the OP took the legitimate question and turned it into a why-Kelly-and-Jack-are-awful post. Legitimate questions are fine, but when they’re posed simply to give another reason to bash the ND football administration, it just sucks all the joy out of it.
