This, a team that can't pass FOR SH*T, thinks they can go on a 2 minute drill? Narduzzi just cost them any chance of winning this game
Narduzzi didn’t call the plays, Watson does.

Why do you think that is...I'll give you a hint. No QB will thrive when they have no protection, compounded by an incompetent OC. I know - I know - this is Pittsburgh where everyone loves the backup QB, but I guess yinzers gotta yinz
If you come out in the 2nd half with a nice drive you are only down 4, with a over a quarter left to play. It makes zero sense to pass the ball in that situation with THIS passing offense. We remember the Cuse game, right? Where Pitt did a 2 minute drill basically without passing the ball? That is how pathetic Pitt's passing attack is.
And you are going to try a 2 minute drill passing the ball against this defense? I would fire him for that alone.

The way this OL pass blocks plays a larger role than you think. I'm not defending KP at all. There is no chance any QB would thrive in this offense, with this OL, with these WR and this OC. None. Zip.Pickett doesn't make things happen when he does have protection. Every completion is a struggle. I never said anything about the backup, the comment was there was no QB out there who would succeed. I believe otherwise.

I can remove thrive and easily say do any better with all the reasons I said.Whoa, let's not change it to thrive, we are just talking about competence here. You expect your starting QB to do better than 5 yards passing in a half. That is downright awful and isn't entirely on the OC, OL, WRs, etc.

Geoff George jr that sounds promisingPickett Sucks.. Hopefully he transfers to IUP in the Spring
They've all sucked. It's not one or the other.Whoa, let's not change it to thrive, we are just talking about competence here. You expect your starting QB to do better than 5 yards passing in a half. That is downright awful and isn't entirely on the OC, OL, WRs, etc.
Especially after the disaster that almost happened after the first attempt on the driveYou are telling me Narduzzi doesnt have the authority to tell the offense to run the clock out?
Or his team preparation and his game management and giving us at least somewhat a fighting chance.If Narduzzi ties his coaching career to Pickett - it will last 2 more years.

You have to pass in football, if Pickett cant pass, then he doesnt need to be in there. If we had just an avg passing QB we would be in this game. Give George Jr a shot or someone in second half
Yes, I am Telling you on 3-10 there probably isn’t enough time for the head coach to overrule a play call.

Narduzzi appears to be laying into watson
They passed the ball on every play, right? Narduzzi couldn't overrule ANY of those 3 passing plays? Plus I know he is involved with the headsets on the sideline.
I've never seen a time-out to start the half.
They should have passed initially. We were trying to score.
Third down should have been a run
