Stats don't lie
@JimPolzinWSJ 66 passing yards total in a game. 6 completed passes. That speaks for itself

I don't know the question, but ...
@JimPolzinWSJ This QB is not the answer- 6 completions and 66 yards passing

Who you talkin' to?
@JimPolzinWSJ Fickell is always on his headphones but is never talking to anyone. Never says a word. QB needs to get rid of the ball faster.

There is no try ...
@JimPolzinWSJ Joseph is certainly a nice athlete and all and clearly tries hard, but the ability to throw the football on time and on the money is kind of an important part of being a QB. This team can’t progress without a QB that can throw the football

Cleared for takeoff
@JimPolzinWSJ The air raid offense really seems to be taking off

Get more complicated
@JimPolzinWSJ Grimes called a high school offensive game plan. Predictable and no receivers schemed open. Joseph is inaccurate, but that’s not why they lost. Offensive philosophy is the reason, or lack thereof
— Brad Collins (@BradleyCol1932) October 18, 2026
Why??
@JimPolzinWSJ Probably didn't matter, but punting down two scores with less than five minutes to go was a choice.

International flair
@JimPolzinWSJ Enough flags to make the un jealous. Passing game suffered hard.

Look at their plan
@JimPolzinWSJ Pretty sad. Look at UCLA under chesney in year 1. Meanwhile we’re in the 4th under LF. It can be done. Joseph expectations were way overblown. Dieffenbach outclasses him by miles.

It's not getting better
@JimPolzinWSJ Year four of the Fickell regime and the offense looks like a JV squad

Give it to me straight
@JimPolzinWSJ Refs were bad.. both ways… punting on 4th down late in a game is mailing it in and worried about the final score and not the win. Doing that and then asking players to sacrifice for you is pathetic and is embarrassing behavior.

What have you done for me lately
@JimPolzinWSJ All the goodwill….pppfffftttt Nothing good about that game Lucky score as close as it was
— Cheesetrader (@cheesetrader1) October 18, 2026
Ranking the ugly
@JimPolzinWSJ Refs = Horrendous 3rd down D = worse Offense = even worse Punting on 4th down with game on the line = The worst

Keep it simple
@JimPolzinWSJ Play to lose and that’s what ya get
— Michael Burger (@Burgscom) October 18, 2026
Don't forget to tip your waitress
@JimPolzinWSJ I’ll pass because the Badgers won’t.
