Pitt vs SU Gamethread

[docpanther26]

There is a lot of work that needs to be done.

 

[VolPanther]

Very unimaginative from your 5 2 runs up the gut then pass way too conservative

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

On first and second down it was like we told them what was coming and dared them to stop it. We aren't nearly good enough to do that kind of thing.

 

[revampedpanthers]

It was a 44 yard kick. A decent college kicker should make that a lot more often than he misses it.

The key word is good which kessman isn't and never has been. He is probably a 66 percent from that area.

 

[NNFAN]

Pitt's offense a NO SHOW in the 2nd half. Averaging 2 yards/ carry.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

This Aussie punter sucks...

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

He is probably a 66 percent from that area.

Well you get that that would mean that he makes that kick a lot more than he misses it, right?

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

You punt from your goal line you gotta a TON of hang-time if you're only gonna get it to the 50. I do NOT like this rugby style punting approach at all

way too much like last years second halves where we’d score 7 maybe 10 points. Can’t make any adjustments even on a bad team

 

[kma0043]

Pitt special teams leave a lot to be desired.

 

[revampedpanthers]

True but it's still a two score game. Get the first down and you run clock and if you score a TD game is over

yeah line drive punt from your end zone is a recipe for disaster

 

[JokePa]

I would NOT allow Kessman to attempt to kick a FG again today

I would. We need the guy to get it together

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

We call a defensive time out on 4th down. That usually means trouble.

Not today!

 

[pittmeister]

The offense today has been nothing less than abysmal, boring, lackluster, anemic, unimaginative, and predictable... The strength of Syracuse’s defense is their DBs. So what do we do? We threw the ball!

 

[Saboteur]

Syracuse will end the game with 3 timeouts in their pockets.
Senseless.

Yeah you have to call the timeouts. Basically gave up on his team

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Well, I guess the good news is that even though we played like crap we still won the game.

 

[ThePanthers]

Ugly but got the w

 

[California Gold]

I can't imagine being on the sidelines in this situation...
absolutely horrible message, that definitely would not be a coach that I would want to play for

Syracuse will end the game with 3 timeouts in their pockets.
Senseless.

I never understood the Dino Barbers love, and watching him throw in the towel on his team reaffirms that.

 

[Dan1911]

We won. That’s great. Special teams totally sucked, giving coaches a LOT to complain about.. good.
Get the win and run out of the stadium. They were awful.

 

[kma0043]

Speaking of coaches, I don’t like the way Narduzzi sometimes calls out players directly when they make a mistake. I’m talking about calling out Kamara in the postgame interview. The kid is a frosh and it was a bizarre call. Call out the garbage punter and kicker if you’re going to focus on guys.

 

[docpanther26]

This is all true however we have enough of our own issues to try and figure out.

 

[PITT4UDAD]

There is a lot of work that needs to be done.

Not on defensive side...

The difference is that was a mental error not a physical on and coaches hate mental mistakes. Most coaches have I'll complain about false starts but won't get nearly as aggravated by holds. Holds are more costly but they aren't always unforced.

 

[revampedpanthers]

Not on defensive side...

Defense has been good Offense and special teams stank the place up

 

[bwh05]

Outstanding effort on D. Handed them 10 points on a TO & a busted coverage. Other than that we mauled them.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

He's alright. Nobody worry bout him.

You’re entering the Danger Zone

 

[Black Panther]

Anyone else experiencing missing gameplay due to horrible commercial breaks today?

There was one time they went to a break when the probably shouldn’t have and we missed one play.cuse lost two yards.other than that no.

That was the leaping play. They obviously didn't know that the penalty was going to give Syracuse a first down. They thought possession had changed and that was when they were supposed to take the commercial break.
