It’s the same story every single week. Penalties that extend drives. Drop after drop, after drop, after drop by the receivers, etc.
And the primary problem continues to be our complete inability to run the football.
We made five trips of the red zone and we had one touchdown — on a play-action pass from the one yard line (lol). There’s your answer. They scored touchdowns and we kicked field goals....because we simply cannot run the football.
It is just so goddamn frustrating because we are so physical on defense and yet we are so Charmin soft on offense.
As a result, every GD week we spend the entire game in third-and-long and every week the quarterback has to make every play. Yellen played well today. Pickett plays well most weeks. However, you have to do something to help them. It can’t be the quarterback versus the world because the world is going to win — especially whenever your receivers catch the ball as poorly as ours do.
Mark Whipple is a better offensive coordinator than Shawn Watson but being too one dimensional one way is no better than being too one dimensional the other way. As such, he needs to go because it’s clear what the problem is here. Borbely to needs to go too and so does Salem.
I just can’t understand how we can be at this stage in the program and still be so pathetic upfront?
You have to be able to attack teams in multiple ways and for Pitt to win, for us to make the vaunted next step, we have to be nasty sons of bitches to play against. The truth is, we are a walk in the park to play against because were so embarrassingly soft on offense.
Every Pitt game feels like every other Pitt game. We lose for the exact same reasons every single week and it’s absolutely absurd.
