Well, that was fun. Yet another sh*& the bed performance by the ultimate under-achievers. A few thoughts:
1. Our "vaunted" defense was completely exposed. The D Line didn't do squat and when they're not sacking or pressuring the QB, our DB's were exposed for the mediocre players they are. Hamlin and Pinnock in the NFL is a joke. Ford was invisible. Williams was toast too.
2. Play calling was terrible yet again.
3. Our O Line stinks again. How in the name of god can you not get 1 stinkin yard in 4 attempts?
4. Our RB's are even worse than I originally thought. At the beginning of the year I thought we were average. Now I think they're below average. V Davis seems to have lost a step and has zero wiggle. Can't make anyone miss, slow to hit what little holes there are, couldn't break a tackle if he stepped on one. Izzy did nothing. Sibley at least ran hard and didn't pussy foot around in the hole. AJ Davis has his best game of the season.
5. Do we even have a TE on the field?
6. That was one of the worst coached games I've seen in a while. Completely unprepared and not focused. 10 penalties in a half? One of the coaches should have been frog marched out of the stadium just to set an example.
7. Whipple, Borbs, and Salem all need to go. They can't recruit and their coaching is crap.
On the good news front, it only took 4 weeks into the season to bring Pitt fans back down to earth.
Another piece of good news is that the younger fans are slowly learning why they sound so silly to us old timers every time they say "this year is different".
The final good news is that every year Pitt disappoints (which is something like 30 years running now) I get a little less disturbed each time we screw up. By the time I'm 90, I will hopefully be fully cured of the mental disorder called "being a Pitt fan".
