Pitt-UNC Gamethread

[rmf05]

PSU all over again. This team has been horrid in every 2nd half.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Looking at the schedule, I don't see another win. I think 2-10 gets Narduzzi canned. No way Lyke tolerates this garbage.

We will be underdogs in all the remaining games. 2-10 and he's probably gone. I think we win 1 more though and he gets 2019

 

[Panthertag]

I swear Briggs is missing a chromosome.

 

[TJOlsen]

3 and 17 conversion on a rainbow pass by UNC, then Tre Tipton tries to scoop and score, doesn't recover the ball, a plethora of missed tackles today, oh hey did I mention our punter is again averaging 30 yards a punt, also no offensive adjustments made at halftime. Icing on the cake is the awful officiating.

You talk about a beyond frustrating game as a Pitt fan. That is this game.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

I’m not trying to be a hater but it’s truly shocking how poorly coached our defense has been the entire time narduzzi has been here. I thought he was supposed to be a defensive guru. Seriously

He is a guy who absolutely refuses to change his system to fit the talent he has on hand. That is a sign of a bad coach.

 

[rmf05]

Briggs wouldn't see the field at IUP.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Pitt plays like we don't have coaches. Penalties, dumb decisions, blown assignments. This is a bad team

 

[below0w]

This is a UNC team that got beat 41-19 by ECU, who in turn lost to North Carolina A&T. Yeah, the refs have been poor, but this performance is absolutely pitiful. I'm at a loss for words.

 

[VolPanther]

This game's over. If we don't have at least a 4 TD lead at the half, we lose. We can't score in the second half of any game. And this is against a bad team. And what half time adjustments did Narduzzi make? It looks like he just told them to keep doing what they're doing. Great coaching!

After this game, what game can Pitt realistically win this year????

Seriously the people defending him are unreal blind homers who know nothing and strive for mediocrity

 

[pittman71]

Firing the coach isnt the answer. Unless you have a real good coach you know you can bring in to replace him

 

[Weavedog469]

I still like our chances today

 

[pitt8776]

Narduzzi and every single person associated with recruiting or coaching needs gone. Can’t recruit and can’t coach them up so they are all worthless.

 

[DiehardPanther]

No illegal shift and the guy calls a penalty.

 

[HailToPitt1985]

I'm glad I won't be at the next home game. I don't want to see the 20,000 in the stands. Fortunately, I'll be out-of-town doing something a lot more enjoyable than watching this fiasco.

BRING BACK THE STACHE!

Agree blaming refs is for losers

 

[Panthertag]

I think that notepad has a "how to get fired" checklist. Just keep checkin'!

 

[briano25]

Pickett is awful

 

[JD1976]

No flags thrown on UNC today thru three quarters.

 

[VolPanther]

I’m done wasted enough of my Saturday

 

[kma0043]

Everything going UNC way now.

 

[rmf05]

Wow. What a bunch of losers.

 

[ThePanthers]

This is pathetic. But not surprising.

 

[pittman71]

BRING BACK THE STACHE!

lol not going to happen

Give me the best recruiter available. Dont care if he can coach or not

 

[bwh05]

We’re at the Paul Hackett level. A few good players but this team is bad.

 

[briano25]

How do these coaches keep their jobs?

 

[Phillypanther2]

I still like our chances today

Our chances for what?
To give up 50 plus points to a bad team.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Pickett is awful

We only have 1 P5 WR, Taysir Mack, a kid who couldn't get on the field for Indiana

 

[npl1127]

Agreed. Nobody needs help against this futility.
However, there was no illegal shift on that play.

 

[California Gold]

How will the ACC address the Referee that reached for his flag (but never pulled it) on that blatant hold on 3rd & long play?

 

[pittman71]

lol

That's silly. It's like saying jumping out of a burning building isn't the answer unless you know you're going to land on a mattress.

 

[Phillypanther2]

How do these coaches keep their jobs?

A good question.

 

[PittPanthers90]

Be real, the refs are hosing us, but when you aren't a great team that can be the difference between a W and L.

A great team can overcome bad refs, an average team can not.

Which in turn affects record, which affects recruiting.

 

[pittman71]

refs definitely are blatantly cheating

 

[joeydavid]

They won't

How will the ACC address the Referee that reached for his flag (but never pulled it) on that blatant hold on 3rd & long play?

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Hire Lane Kiffin. Seriously. He will get recruits.

 

[panther.fan]

lol

We already had Wannstadt

Never going to happen. Tobacco Road owns this conference. Everybody else just needs to really outplay Duke, UNC, and NC State to the point where the refs don't matter.
