ANALYSIS: Missed tackles plague Buffaloes in loss to Kansas

[@faithenichols6947]

PEACE and LOVE Colorado Buffaloes! I still love you guys. Tough loss. Next game. Next opportunity! Keep working, keep grinding, stay focused. I still believe!

[@vanjones1749]

In today’s CFB you can almost throw the records out it’s any given Saturday. Tip the cap to KU for their win, the Buffs have to find a way to run the ball again, maybe incorporate lead blockers and two TE sets run off tackle maybe, but no running game the team will have a hard time wining

[@markmorgan6840]

BEEN PREACHING THIS ALL YEAR...

[@MrLee4love]

56-48 Oklahoma goes to 3-8….lets not lose to OS……we need a 9-3 to go into a playoff or a BOWL GAME…..its a winning season, but next year, we’ll work on having a new quarterback….we can go 9-3, hoping we get helped out by a loss, if not, we’ll settle for a bowl game. Ending a high note is needed

[@markmorgan6840]

bowl game will do.. but it will be against.. bama, usc, or ole miss! they want to embarrass prime...

[@chirocket4791]

KU dominated the trenches and time of possession. Did not punt.

[@troublefollows9986]

Kansas pushed Colorado around. Grown man

[@genobourn7423]

I notice this flaw with Coach Prime's teams since Jackson State. Tackling skills always lack. DB's and Linebackers don't drive with their legs and they don't wrap up! They are just using their shoulders and trying to run through the offensive player.

[@markmorgan6840]

now ur talkin!!!!!! they need to watch Iowa, and film of michagin.. osu is in for the fight of ther lifes!!!

[@deandrebinion3714]

The offense is vanilla but that was not the problem. They didn’t have the ball enough. I hate the screen after screen after screen. The defense just didn’t show up today. You get a couple more stops, you might be looking at a different game. Also, will Sheppard has to make that play in the Endzone. You come to the ball, you get a touchdown

[@markmorgan6840]

MISSED TACKLES, TACKLING TOO DAMN HIGH, BAD COACHING, POOR FOCUS.. AND REFS DIDNT CARE, AS YOU DONT LOOK LIKE THEM AND CONFORM TO WHAT THEY WANT IN A GAME.. REFS SHOULD LOSE 5% OF THEIR PAY FOR BLOWN CALLS...

[@df7041]

What a devastating loss. Turns out all those issues we thought they figured out and plugged was filled with sand

[@henrylee8510]

Just wasn't ready to play. Look at Bama, UGA. They all have bad games

[@akexcarbajal1715]

It happens sometimes, ur right devastating loss but that doesn't mean theyre a bad defense

[@scairl40]

Nah, C U just didn’t execute this game. It happens. Of course you always want to win but I think Oregon is the only team right now without a loss. A possible 9-3 season is still better than two years ago in my opinion. They will rebound, Coach Prime will make sure of that.

[@henrylee8510]

Thanks A & B. Heard you guys jinxed them. Lol. Tough loss, KU was definitely better than their record At least no more talk of Prime going to the Cowboys and SEC. And crazy Prime fans stop thinking the buffs will roll over every opponent and buffs can throw it 60 times a game. Respect the opponents.

[@louisana07]

Idk if that is a Livingston problem. Our LBs can not pass cover.I mean we had walker, a pass rusher, playing middle LB and getting cooked. Thats why we have the extra DB on the field and we missed preston hodge ability to run tackle. Our front seven plus the safeties are all downhill players/tacklers, not sideline to sideline lateral players. So when we play a RB/QB who's shifty with great balance, if we don't meet them in the backfield, we always struggle with tackling.

[@davidarnold771]

They exploited Cash inexperience

[@troublefollows9986]

Ran right up the middle

[@AnthonyMcNeil]

You are aware that Cash plays center and plays on the offense.

[@deandrebinion3714]

So you think the offense was the problem? SMH.

[@junioralmozard6460]

Loosing Isaiah really hurts them this was one of those games but I still think that they’re a very good team and the best in the big 12 there’s no need to panic and they will bounce right back.

[@Brolee123]

Shilo refuses to tackle he hits. He will not make guys fall in the pros.

[@tomkat9557]

Telling it like it is so don’t be mad at me, watch the film. Shilo needs to be benched, he is a liability and is constantly out of position. Plug Stout back in and things will get better.

[@Timopo]

I agree with yiou that Shilo is really struggling and he is hurting any draft ranking he may have had. Cam has shown so much more this season than Shilo which is disappointing bc I really like Shilo.

[@dwightmeikle5299]

Blame shilo?....they ran into a senior team mature men simple....

[@Boxgame22]

He will never be bench. So Dj mckeeny gets bench when he mess up, but Shiloh miss all them tackles, and when a running back came up the middle he didn’t wanna tackle .. I can’t wait until Prime sons gone.

KU wanted that W more, simple. From Missouri and they played backyard football and bullied them. The tackling was Terrible, some of the same players not locking up tackles.. Missed Opportunities, had an opportunity but couldn't get past it. #4 is SCARY but also had a good game from some players. It was some bad calls also & weird shit by refs. That tackle was late and flipped sheddeur, thats some dirty shit the Refs let go. But KU won also, no shade. #REFOCUS #SKOBUFFS

[@traceyjohnson1559]

Carter Stoutmire should have been benched in the 1st quarter.... Colton Hood should of started

[@dlllester]

I thought the decision to forego the penalty that would've made it 1 st and 20 changed the momentum of the game and the buffs defense never recovered

[@maveh221]

facts i couldn't believe that decision.

[@deandrebinion3714]

@@maveh221what? You do know on the very next play they had a 30 yard gain right? That was least of their worries

[@deandrebinion3714]

You thought wrong and didn’t pay attention the game. Defense didn’t get one stop. Not one stop

[@dlllester]

@deandrebinion3714 exactly, defense and team was gaining momentum up to that point. That next play, the wheels came off. You made my argument for me.

[@maveh221]

well 1st 20 could have changed the game, we dont know but why give them yards when you haven't stopped them all game.

[@BuffsSuk]

No punts all KU possessions = CU worse than anyever loss!

[@henrylee8510]

Go home

[@DamienGWilson]

Sadly, I think CAM'RON SILMON-CRAIG ruined his chances of getting drafted into the NFL with this game. All the missed tackles solidified the fact that he’s undersized, too slow, and not strong enough to compete against high-level competition. I think the same can be said for Shiloh, but then again, he probably ruined his chances several games ago.

[@BlowinSmokeTv]

One game doesn't define your entire season for CAM or SHILOH, but CAM got plenty of film being consistent. Few have been as consistent as CAM and clearly is and has been the best safety on the team. #SkoBuffs

[@markmorgan6840]

agreed!!!!! the defense never grew and their immaturity in their duties showed..

[@gleauxstudios]

You all are great at what you do but Deion placing the blame on his players is egregious. This team is one dimensional because of him. He has handicapped this team and I get why many don’t pose those types of questions during the pressers. It’s no reason this team shouldn’t have a potent running game. They misuse and under use the running backs.The offense is vanilla and predictable. They run from the same formations, no creativity and never exploit the opponent’s weaknesses. Travis Hunter was hot today, no reason not to get him the ball every down until KU stopped it. that’s what KU did..gave Neal the ball and dared CU to stop him and they couldn’t.

[@deandrebinion3714]

It’s stupid stuff like this why Prime should leave CU. How can you continue to give Travis the ball when the offense was on the sideline 2 3/4 of the game? The players didn’t execute. Coaching can’t make you tackle a guy you have wrapped up behind the line. They had stops plenty of time where they couldn’t tackle. Prime, you’ve done enough for the university to get them back on track. Dip out, you’ve done far more than anyone could have in 2 years

[@gleauxstudios]

@ how many possessions did CU have? How many targets 🎯 went to Hunter? Neal had 40 touches…40 come back to me with the answers to those questions and then we can have an informed discussion. coaching is a big part of football 🏈 no excusing the missed assignments, tackles and undisciplined but this team has done those things all seasons if you were watching and that is either coached or accepted. U may worship Sanders which is you feel he’s done a great job but those who actually know football would say otherwise and yesterdays loss was both coaching and execution and we cannot in good faith execute one while exonerating the other.

[@deandrebinion3714]

@@gleauxstudios ok when you don’t have an argument, you go to worshipping Deion. Why do you think Travis is open on every play? He had the most targets. They were getting him the ball. Neal had 40 carries because it’s far easier to hand the ball off behind the line of scrimmage than to actually run a route and get open, that’s just a stupid question. You keep saying bad coaching, the defense missed so many tackles where they have him wrapped and didn’t win. You can’t get Travis the ball more if the offense is on the sideline. Do you know the time of possession? They scored 21 points in 19 minutes. Is that good or bad sir?

[@gleauxstudios]

@ See you didn’t answer the question with data, you gave more of your personal thoughts. Watch the All 22 and come back with an intelligent conversation not laced in feelings. Why do you think KU gave Neal the ball 40 times? No need to answer I have it for you, because the film showed CU couldn’t stop it just like it showed KU couldn’t contain Travis yet one team did what allowed them to score on every freakin possession. But whatever you feel I’m sure is the truth.

[@deandrebinion3714]

@ what question did I not answer, you Deion Hater? Your hatred is another form of worship. Watch this, what is a 2i? Don’t want to hear you talk about All 22 like you know what you’re looking at
