If you told me at the beginning of the season that they'd be 7-3, I'd take it but it does sting after their great start. I try and see the positives, so let's finish 9-3. Hail to Pitt!!

Not sure we’ve seen so many seemingly serious injuries as the past few games

1. We Pitt the bed too much
2. We have a midget league coach running the offense
3. We are undisciplined
4. Blitz, blitz blitz when we should be bending. Leading to quick breaks!
5. Our Head Coach has no clue, none about offense.


7-6 gents, 7-6

How many times do we Pitt fans need to see a series of downs like we just witnessed? 1st and goal from the 2 and the best we got was a 30 yd field goal?

Pitt lost to Clemson at Acrisure Stadium on Saturday in a game that saw the Panthers lead with 96 seconds left. After the game, we went live for the Panther-Lair Post-Game to talk about the loss and more with comments and questions from Pitt fans.

I mean I guess I'm assuming the issue is a concussion but not even sure about that.

Just wondered if anyone on the board has any idea what his timeline is to play.

Man, this team just can't put anything completely together.

yesterday saw all of it. defense plays great for awhile and then completely whiffs on a drive when it matters. the offense does the opposite - can't do anything until it matters.

the team executes some things well. and then you get pee-wee league mistakes. bell does some things well on offense. and then he's maddeningly horrible at others. WR's get open and make some nice plays - then they drop gimmes. the DL can't get pressure against bad teams. then they punch clemson's OL in the mouth. the defense is disciplined and is making great tackles. then at other times, you're scrathing your head as to what in the hell they're doing. talent + the injury situation = this should have been a loss by 2 td's. but somehow, we almost won against a good team. against a bad team last week, we looked like a bottom feeder.

however, i put this loss on the OC. the defense did plenty to win this game. giving up 3 yards of rushing outside of the last play is fantastic. holding your opponent to one TD in the 2nd half should get you a win.

bell's issues:
* you have to be able to get a play off w/out a penalty. ESPECIALLY after a TO or stoppage in play. good lord. pee-week league level, here.
* procedure penalties - come on, fellas. we had 3 guys who could have been called on one play. by some miracle, the refs didn't call anything. again, pee-wee league level execution.
* pass protection - the OL has it's struggles but come on, coach. leave someone in to block. have your TE chip someone. i, and others, posted 10 different ways to help your OL during the week so i'm not going to rehash it. but this is offensive coaching 101. he did almost none of it.
* first and goal from your 1.5 yard line has to be a TD. it just has to. there are no excuses for this.
* power runs - he's calling WAY too many plays as if he has the 1993 dallas cowboys offensive line.
* WR route trees - he calls WAY too many plays where the WR's needed 4+ seconds to get open downfield. peyton mannings's first OC in indianapolis after his rookie year: "1, 2, 3 - get rid of it." or it's a sack/int. that's it, coach - if your QB has 3 seconds or less, every route needs to stop at 3 seconds unless it's a decoy where you're trying to a defender from a zone/whatever.

i'm not exrtraplolating this any further than this season. but he simply has to better.

college football standings are a total mess this year. any decent two loss team is getting into the playoffs. it was right in front of us this year but the inconsistency is just killing this teams' chances.
two more games, pat. let's get this thing figured out and finish the season on a high note.

is this a score if he doesn't call timeout?

Being at the game yesterday, this seemed like the most life the offense has had in the past 5 games. I know it wasn't pretty but Yarnell seemed to figure some things out in the second half with Bell's offense. That being said, I think Yarnell gives this team the best chance to win out. As good as Holstein looked the first 6 games, he's looked that unsure of himself running this offense the last 3 games. Is that 2 concussions in 3 games? Probably. But Nate took serious shots yesterday and seems to still move this offense. Again, it wasn't pretty. Just wondering, what's Pitt's record would be with Yarnell starting game 1?

Hope he has a complete recovery. That looked ugly. Feel bad for him. Played well again today when given the opportunity and runs hard. Unfortunately he just can’t catch a break and stay healthy. I have always felt he deserved more of an opportunity the last two years. Seems like a solid teammate and hated to see his last year end like that.

If you know, you know. Surprised he didn't get punched.

My dad has given up on Narduzzi

There is no coming back from this*, mark my words

*until the next time pat wins a game

Although, if he sticks with this opinion... when he does that with a coach he's usually right. I think he might this time tbh. Sorry Pat

Does it get any worse than that? Brohm and team made pitt look like geniuses.

If Reid were to get injured, Davis I guess steps in. But I don’t know too much about the strengths of the other backs that are younger. Can someone tell me about Goff and Lloyd?

Obviously only the 1st half but a Wisky win would be delicious.

Chaos is awesome.

He had several (too many, sure, but Clemson still has damn talented DL and LBs) 'guy pushed into his first start the season before his first start should have happened' moments, but overall I think he showed way more potential than I thought he would

Maybe we have a solid RT next year in him

After Sauls made it 20-17, I thought to myself that I was taking a pic of the scoreboard. Pitt 20-Clemson 17 with 00:00 left.

Sorry. I’m still very empty 4+ hours later

Blake Hinson is averaging 15/5/1 for the " Sea Dubs " 47/35/71 shooting splits. About 2 threes made a game

It is almost comical at this point how teams continue to beat this defense with slot receivers, running backs, or tight ends running straight line routes up the middle of the field.

It honestly feels like opposing offensive coordinators are just waiting for a critical moment in a game to call the play.

They put in a formation where they know that Pitt will blow the coverage. Probably from film study during the week instead of looking at an iPad on the sideline.

We have seen the same route run against us by Cinci, UNC, Cal, Syracuse, SMU and now Virginia. Every team on that list scored a TD on that pass except Syracuse.

Kudos to the other teams for exploiting a weakness, but at some point you need to look at yourself in the mirror and figure out why it is a weakness.

Our staff and players don’t seam to want to do that though. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

Can any local journalist get a non-ACC source? I refuse to believe that snapping the ball before the officials are ready is just a do-over. As I have said, if this is the case, teams should just snap the ball while the defense is substituting so they can stop the clock late in the game. Why would you wait for the defense to jog guys in and out when time is of the essence. Snap the ball and get the free timeout and do-over.

3 offsides in a row on the defense
3 offensive penalties in a row from the
2 yard line??? That’s poor coaching and lack of discipline The 10th game of the season and this happens??
I don’t think Clemson had better players but they did have better coaches.
Play calling in certain situations has me scratching my head. Well coached teams
improve in most all areas as the season progresses. 7 and 5 is probably their final record and lose the bowl game. I feel sorry for the players.

From Pitt’s rocky start, to a valiant comeback bid, to its deflating loss, there are mixed emotions surrounding the Panthers’ 24-20 defeat to No. 20 Clemson at Acrisure Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Pitt fought like crazy to grab its first and only lead with 1:36 remaining in the game. The Panthers battled courageously with their backup quarterback against perhaps the most talented team they have faced all season.

In the end, it was still a loss, and the third consecutive defeat at that.

The Panthers, once 7-0, are now 7-3 with two games remaining in the 2024 regular season. The best start for this program in 1982, was nothing more than that. In college football, finishing is also imperative, and this particular Pitt team displayed over three games it is lacking that trait.

Indiana is 10-0 with first year coach and Colorado is going to be a top 13 team. With a 2nd year coach.

… make sure to get there by 12:30, as it is senior day. Let’s give these ladies the sendoff they deserve.
NOTE: it is not the last home match of the year, that comes on 11/30 against Georgia Tech. Thanksgiving break, so the students won’t be there.
