Pitt Football 2pm/Game Thread

Stanford is doing everything to give us a huge lead and our offense just can’t do anything.

 

[DiehardPanther]

Good job by the defense. Need to get a TD on this drive.

 

[kma0043]

Good break there. Points on this drive please.

 

[PittAU]

Good starting position now. Let's take advantage of this!

 

[President Stache]

How about the bogus PI they did call on Stanford on that final drive?

How was it bogus? He hit him before the ball got there. It was a lame ass pass so shouldn’t have been called, but it was certainly PI

I’ve seen you complain about 200 calls that you think went against Pitt and zero that went the other way. Doesn’t seem possible that every single call goes against Pitt.

 

[anon_d97v9o3a8b6xr]

Mack, wow.

 

[kma0043]

What a catch

 

[BFo8]

Would’ve been nice to see Mack healthy all year.

 

[anon_d97v9o3a8b6xr]

We better get 7 here.

 

[PittAU]

How about the bogus PI they did call on Stanford on that final drive?

The defender had his left arm wrapped around the receiver.

 

[anon_d97v9o3a8b6xr]

These coaches need to stick to what works.

 

[Gep Dawg]

I’m still shocked at how bad are playcalling is inside the red zone

 

[PittAU]

our best running is straight ahead. not to the sideline.

 

[kma0043]

Always smart to run horizontally in that area.

 

[McKee Place]

Please please please please please open the qb competition for next year

 

[PittAU]

I’m still shocked at how bad are playcalling is inside the red zone

Sadly, I am NOT.

 

[ncyajleel]

Has anyone noticed every 1st and goal Pitt has had was at the 9 or 10 yard line?

 

[Mikefln]

That play summarizes Pickett. Focused on 1 man. He has the arm no question, doesn't have the intangibles. Lopez was open.

 

[anon_d97v9o3a8b6xr]

Stanford sucks and giving us everything and coaches out coaching themselves. Pickett also showing the QB position should be open for anyone to take.

 

[BFo8]

Please please please please please open the qb competition for next year

Pretty sure that’s not going to happen.

 

[pittman71]

So we can have even more lopsided games than we saw on Saturday?

Lopsided games occur in the playoffs in any sport.

There is too much money involved in having these bowl games for them to ever dissolve I realize that.

 

[PittAU]

All season long our best running has been to the left side.

 

[DiehardPanther]

Not sure if it is coaching, Pickett, or a combination, but they’ve got to fix their passing game next year.

The rollouts and long developing plays don’t help at all.

 

[sonofabit]

How can you not look into the end zone 3rd and goal. That pass wasn't going anywhere if completed.

 

[President Stache]

I’ve seen you complain about 200 calls that you think went against Pitt and zero that went the other way. Doesn’t seem possible that every single call goes against Pitt.

Not true at all, I’ve said we got many good calls.

How about give a call that was actually bogus instead of just being a contrarian

 

[cruzer]

Play calling in the red zone is horrible. Run on 1st and 2nd down (completely predictable). Worse yet, our second down run is that lame wide pitch which never works. Third down and Pickett is rushed and can't find anyone. 3 instead of 7. Not good.

Cruzer

 

[Jsr862]

Why does it seem everytime we get in red zone is when Watson wants to try something fancy? Just run it up the middle?! One of a handful of coaches that breaks what working. I don't mind switching it up between the 40s but not when your 2nd and goal

 

[H2P 2003]

The defender had his left arm wrapped around the receiver.

Yeah, that was clearly a penalty.

 

[BFo8]

Not true at all, I’ve said we got many good calls.

Fair enough, you must admit though there are few things more lame than people saying “the refs are against Pitt” every single game.

 

[PittAU]

shit, Costello got it back

 

[BFo8]

Shit that would’ve been the play of the game right there.

 

[rmf05]

The nice thing about this game is that QB's all over the country can see that they can have a shot at starting if they transfer here.

 

[PittHOFs]

Either Watson or Pickett is the issue with this offense. One or both need changed!

 

[DiehardPanther]

Defense! Balling out today.

 

[BFo8]

If we get 7 here I think they have trouble coming back. Doesn’t really matter who they’re missing, Costello has had a nice year to this point and he looks like shit today. Defense deserves a lot of credit for that.

 

[ThePanthers]

This just feels like the type of game where we dominate for 59 minutes and still lose.

 

[PittAU]

why do you call a rollout to the short side?

 

[rpastir]

Are the receivers never open?...or does Pickett not see them? It seems he only throws the ball about 40% of the time he drops back.
