Pitt vs. Wake Forest Game Thread

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Wake make a stupid decision to not call a timeout there to force us to punt. Only to be outdone by our stupid decision to not go for it on 4th and 4 with about 25 seconds. The risk is almost nothing. The reward is a field goal. Gym teacher stikes again.

Play calling sucks so bsf

 

[President Stache]

why the f wouldnt we throw a hail mary there?????

 

[HailToPitt1985]

This is just a very boring Pitt team. I'm going to go help my wife cook dinner or maybe clean some toilets. They're not going to clean themselves.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Cant win or recruit with this OC....He must GO.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

One good offensive series and then four series of suck.

 

[President Stache]

Is it possible to fire Cignetti at half time?

I mean, seriously, we could just hire a Pitt student to do this.

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

3rd and 4 with less than a minute to go in Wake territory and we run the ball.

THAT one smells like the apparently only time that Duz (and Tomlin) overrode their OC

 

[mike 301]

The fastest 1st half I've ever seen .. Oh yeah . I missed half . Zzzzzzzzz .

 

[Pitt8189]

Fortunately some are now seeing it wasn’t all Jurkovec’s fault. Good luck recruiting good offensive talent with these coaches

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

The sad part is this is pretty much our team. Zubovic and Kradel are available, no receivers are hurt, and this is probably our QB next season. We're not a patchwork unit just getting by with a converted LB playing QB, as Wake is.

Why should I be the least bit optimistic for next season?

He's what Narduzzi wanted and it shows. Boring offense

Cignetti will be shown the door. You can't retain him, no way.

 

[gary2]

Their QB is only throwing straight over the middle passes.

No Pressure. completion over the middle.

Pathetitic.

This game was ours for the taking, we did not take it.

Way too conservative on offense.

It is going be a hang around game with our coaching.

The players need to over achieve to prevent that.

No one ever thought it was all his fault.

But on the other hand, replace Veilleux's first half play with what we've been getting from Jurcovec and instead of a whopping seven points we'd likely have zero.

Stupid is as stupid does.

This is correct. Who wants to come here to play in this offense. 7 points against Wake Forest, not good!

The recruiting aspect is extremely troubling.

 

[pittbb80]

Did Kenny Johnson get hurt ? He was playing well and then didn’t see him much in the second quarter.

 

[pierre93]

The recruiting aspect is extremely troubling.

No way we retain Cignetti. Just can't

 

[BreakingPitt]

I thought the BC game was going to be a win, ummm no.

 

[ThePanthers]

That was painful

 

[HailToPitt1985]

So we're playing a bad team who had to start their first year, 3rd string QB. And he's making our defense and coaching look like a bunch of idiots. I'll say it again. These players and coaches are getting paid a lot of money to WIN football games. They're not winning or providing entertainment. They're supposed to be professionals. They should be booed on their home field and firings and pulled scholarships are not out of the question.

 

[cruzer]

Absolute snoozefest. If you didn't have a rooting interest in the game you would have turned it off after about 5 minutes. Cignetti offense makes Woody Hayes look like Don Coryell.

 

[President Stache]

No... it was definitely Jurkovec's fault. The dude couldnt hit a barn. He was awful. It is clear the receivers are good for this team. They OL is completely injuried and not good now, and Christian isnt very accurate either, most his passes are sailing. But, he is still light years better than Jurkovec was

Looks like big 10 football

2 plays change a lot.

Taylor pushed 5 yards deep.

The penalty that takes away INT in their territory

But a shitload of it was. He couldn’t hit water falling out of a boat.

 

[Pitt8189]

Hard to believe how bad the offenses of the Panthers and Steelers are

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Well sure, he was awful. You can't win against anyone much better than Woeful, er, I mean Wofford with that kind of quarterback play. But it's not like he was, or still is, the only problem.

 

[Pitt8189]

I have to believe this guy is calling so many short and quick passing plays because he has no faith in the offensive line.

Only rational explanation

 

[docpanther26]

And then meanwhile Tennessee putting 20 on the board against Alabama in the first half, wishing our offense could run like that!

Hard to believe how bad their OCs are

Yeah if I had 40 hours a week to study football.
Cignetti is a straight turd that needs flushed.

 

[Jersey Al64]

A lot of short passes to the sidelines. A matter of time before he gets burned. Cignetti is babying him.

 

[BreakingPitt]

How is the shadow back, did time go backwards ?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

The color commentator has pronounced the Wake quarterback's name four or five different ways. And his name isn't even weirdly pronounced like our quarterback's name is.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

3rd and 13 and they hand it off for the third straight time.

Gee, I wonder if they have any trust in their quarterback at all?

I think you were right, it’s Cignetti vs Cignetti.
