2019 Quarterfinals vs NDSU (Dec 14th, 11am CST)

[redbirdfan04]

NDSU didn't achieve the level of greatness with having a weakness at a specific position. They are strong everywhere. They are masters of being disciplined and exploiting other teams. Think about it every week the team they play circles this game as the game of the year. Can they be the team that knocks them off. Remember the hype we had going into our first game with them, I'm pretty sure all teams have the same hype. They are dominate and you leave the field knowing it!

That being said I am excited for an opportunity in the quarterfinals to get another crack at them. I will be glued to the TV as a fan thinking run Mr. Robinson!

The weakness up the middle thing was something Bison fans belabored on AGS after the Nicholl St game .. many said it like it's always been the softest part of their defense and Nicholls St exposed it.

Play good defense, a couple big throws coupled with James over 150, and a turnover or two, and sneak out of Fargo with a W. Here's hoping:
Birds 20, Bison 19

I AM READY TO RUMBLE!!! ALL I WANT FOR PRE-CHRISTMAS IS A GREAT BIRDS/BISON GAME. (please no injuries).

My first prediction was 28-24...now my prediction is Birds 35...Bison 17. There is no way the Birds lose if they want this game as much as I do.

Throwing on 3rd and 2 after we’re running it so well?!? WTf?!

 

[BirdFan10]

Okay start so far. Would have gone for it on 4th. If you are going to throw on 3rd you got use the play action.

 

[CaliRdBrd]

Horrible call on 4th. Shouldnt have rushed the play and should have given it JR.

No kidding!

 

[CaliRdBrd]

This Lance kid is special. My guess is he hasn’t been hit much. Even if we draw a penalty, we should put him in the ground. Send a message

 

[BirdFan10]

I know we are scared of the scramble, but we need stunts on passing downs. The Bison are picking up the blitz without issue.

 

[redbirdfan04]

Not a horrible call on 4th. Just not executed by the offense.

Got lucky the DPI wasn’t called. Like the way the defense is playing overall. Offensively, Bryce needs to pull out one of those balls he’s handing to James a la Tre Roberson. He’ll have 1 on 1 on the edge and I like him to make a move against a solo DB. When Bryce goes to hand off the ball, NDSU is bringing everyone in.

We ran stunts on last two plays

 

[CaliRdBrd]

The running game is setting us up nicely for a deep play action throw

[CaliRdBrd]

Damn!
That’s what happens when you give a QB all day to throw

 

[CaliRdBrd]

Huge sack!!!

 

[Adunk33]

Like most games this year, defense is doing their part. Need to have some points on this drive

100% agree. Not to be doom and gloom, but if we don’t put some up points on this drive, I feel like this game will start to slip away.

 

[CaliRdBrd]

Jefferson’s gotta throw a f’ing block there! If he does JR could have turned the corner
