UVA game thread

[lostnite66]

Damnit Henderson, about gave me a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack-ack.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

No Webb. No Maddox. No problem

 

[Pittx9]

Defense is actually not blowing it right now. Really can't stall offensively.

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

So the offense is going to stall now enough for the D to blow it again? Sigh, please not

 

[PittPoker]

Weird how every game we just stop scoring most or all of the 2nd half. We keep giving Virginia opportunities to get back in this game.

 

[Pittx9]

Yeah two incredibly painful offensive drives. One of the worst times for that to happen too.

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

Sometimes, it's as if the offense needs to D to do bad in order to get going. Or at least when the D does good the offense stalls. Basically, cant put anyone away.

 

[Pittx9]

Oh shit....

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

Price better be ok. Trainers still working on him. Offense stalls again.

 

[PhPanther1]

When biz kicks the end out, cut it inside the block. Why do the wr's keep trying to run it out wide!

 

[Pittx9]

Moss on 3rd and 2? Is that a joke?

 

[PhPanther1]

Go for it!

 

[Pittx9]

Go for it!

Fake punt...?

 

[PittPoker]

No guts, need to go for it on 4th and 1, especially with the defense.

 

[PittPoker]

Offense so damn conservative again. WTF??

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Another dumb coaching decision. Can't get one yard?

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

And they can't even pin them on the punt, that's great.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Announcer: "Why did Virginia call a timeout there?"

People who were paying attention: "Hey, dummy, they only had ten guys on the field."

 

[Pittx9]

Probably would've went for it, but would've been no reason to if they didn't just give up on 3rd down. That was the literally the dumbest call they could've came up with there.

 

[bobfree]

What's the downside to at least attempting to draw them offside? Seriously that's weak ass coaching right there.

Take a penalty and have more room to kick.

 

[Pittx9]

Seriously? This guy is not Earl Campbell!!!!!

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

Hey look on the bright side, they shut them out in the quarter.

So we all know this is going to go down to the wire. I'd be surprised if Virginia doesn't score soon.

 

[VAPITTALUM]

PITT shod have had Mizell for a loss and a 3rd and long. can't give this team more chances to make big plays.

Also not sure what's up with Parrish in the passing game, Peterman had just missed him on two throws that were open.

 

[Pittx9]

That field goal would've looked really, really good right now...

 

[vegasgreed]

Yes, both D's tightened up in 3rd quarter, reversion to the mean after all the points in the first half.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Taleni has to make that tackle there. Turned a five yard loss into a 12 yard gain.

 

[Pittx9]

Narduzzi ain't lying. Jarrett IS A MAN BEAST!!

 

[PhPanther1]

UVA's OC must have been transplanted at halftime. I like it.

 

[VAPITTALUM]

Now's the time for this offense to put together a huge 9 minute TD-ending drive! great stop by the D!

 

[PhPanther1]

Lots of Conner and short throws to mr wonderful please.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

A long TD drive here would not suck.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Need the TD here

 

[Pittx9]

That would've been an incredibly touchy holding call. Not saying it wasn't, but they certainly let more go uncalled on just about every play.

When you see a jersey being pulled away I don't think it's touchy. They flat out missed that one IMO. But I'll take it.

agree , but we would have been pissed if the script was reversed. big time drive so far, Whitehead running like he's pissed!

Fair enough.

I agree, but if you are going to call that you have to call that all game long, and these refs most certainly have not. Not against either team.

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

Fair enough.

I think the inside jersey holds don't get called as much. Those probably happen frequently. But when a guy reaches and the jersey pulls away that's gotta be called. But again I'll take it.

 

[Pittx9]

That was my only point. There were probably 2 missed on UVA that I thought were clearly worse. The only reason this one was brought up so much was because the point in the game it happened.

 

[Pittx9]

Exactly. That's as simple as it gets.
