[Nashville Panther]

AD needs to tell the coach - better win 6 more this year or out.

 

[pittisit37]

i used to be such a diehard pitt fan, but games like today that happen too many times a year wear you down to being apathetic toward this program

 

[Ranson1989]

lol WM doing the same stuff over and over again and Pat had not adjusted at all

 

[#99HUGHgreen]

Right now Western Michigan is

running better,
throwing better,
play calling better,
covering better,
tackling better
blocking better,
coaching better.

Am I missing anything?

Unfortunately, this post did age well.

 

[Nashville Panther]

Only chance to win - likely will be if we hold them and their kicker misses FG

 

[CaptainMurphy]

That's great. Need to get them out of FG range though.

 

[pittiswhereiamfrom2]

So, picks arent illegal anymore?

Seems to me it happens on every play. But maybe they do it in a legal way

 

[martingale]

narduzzi won't get fired anytime soon if at all ever. all those who call for him to get fired on the field clearly haven't been following this program to know that that is but a pipe dream.

I don't disagree.
Pitt does not put a priority on winning. Being competitive and graduating with no off-field problems are the measuring sticks.
I won't travel to Pitt games anymore. I used to drive from Charlotte. When I moved to Arkansas, I would try to attend a game if I was in town.
Now, I don't even bother. I love the university but hate the football program.

 

[mike 301]

Buy him out after the year but go all in on the next coach, 5 million can buy a good one

Yeah wasn't there a gazillion dollar donation to athletics recently . Write him a check and kick his ass out the door .

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Need to put some more hurt on their QB. But a little too late perhaps.

 

[DruidTM]

can this pathetic Defense at least hold them to a FG attempt ?

Yeah but now down 10

this completely sucks

we aren’t winning this game

 

[President Stache]

That’s total yards. Eleby was 20-37 for 191 against Michigan, a decent bit of that in garbage time.

yeah, no shit.

 

[TJOlsen]

Salt in the wound is that Eleby is cramping and they are still moving the ball at will.

 

[rmf05]

Actually, our mascot should be Lucy.

 

[pittdrum]

As I acknowledged he is a good QB, but did very little in their first 2 games this year. Looks like a world beater today though against this defense.

Can you think of throw that was contested that wasn’t a PI? Not arguing with you at all I am just trying to figure if he had to make any hard throws.
H2P

This is deja vu

This is Youngstown State

This is Ohio U

Allowing a MAC to score this many points on your home field is a complete embarrassment.

They’re a good offense? Michigan didn’t think so.

 

[WannyandWalt]

Yeah wasn't there a gazillion dollar donation to athletics recently . Write him a check and kick his ass out the door .

We pay that bum 4.5 , make it 5 to the next coach, would make Pitt a top 20 paying job.

 

[Ranson1989]

a "defensive" coach in his 7th yr gives up 44 points to a mac team at home

 

[BFo8]

Need one of those patented quick scores here, score quickly and don’t have to rely on this beleaguered defense for a 3 and out.

 

[President Stache]

We are not a good team. Our defense is not as good as last year. Our offense is 100% Pickett, but without a line. No run game, our only strength on d is getting to the qb and these quick strike offenses limit that, and pick us apart.

 

[#99HUGHgreen]

Narduzzi certainly did not EARN any of his $4.7 million pay check today.

 

[Ranson1989]

is Joe Moorhead from the area?

 

[California Gold]

lol WM doing the same stuff over and over again and Pat had not adjusted at all

And offensively Vincent Davis is still getting the rock

 

[BFo8]

yeah, no shit.

You made it sound like he threw for over 300 yards, he barely had that combined in 2 games coming into today.

You forgot a few ...

This is Akron

This is Bowling Green

This is Toledo

 

[BFo8]

Still time to make them pay for that easy dropped int.

 

[docpanther26]

I expected other ACC programs to somewhat exploit our poor defense but sure as hell not WMU!

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Funny that the only success we are having is against their weak secondary.... which is led by former Panthers.

Says quite a bit. Great post

 

[kma0043]

Need an onside kick cuz there’s no way they’d force a quick 3 and out

 

[rmf05]

Yeah, in the MAC, we'd still be going 7-5 every year.

Reminds me of Toledo in the glass bowl.

 

[Ranson1989]

with Pat

watch the defense improve a little next yr, but the offense to bottom out with pickett gone= 6-6 or 7-5

 

[Upg bobcat]

Completely agree. The defense is gassed; they have been on the field too long today. Not enough time of possession by our O.

 

[President Stache]

I am torn. I dont particular like Narduzzi as a person, he is ok... thats it. I know change brings crap years, but of course I agree we shouldnt be losing to western michigan. Even with all the graduates, our recruiting should be better than the MAC team.

 

[#99HUGHgreen]

SO Western Michigan could only put up 28 on Ill St. but 44 against us. Not sure how anyone can spin that as not being absolutely pathetic,

 

[briano25]

Come on defense!!!!! One effing stop

 

[BreakingPitt]

Can the DEFENSE please step up NOW !!!!!!!!

 

[anon_d97v9o3a8b6xr]

I guess it ain’t over yet.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Why did we ever go away from just throwing it down the field in this game? What ever gave us the thought it wouldn't work? I don't understand.
