Nice answer but touchdowns win games.

It feels like they're daring us to do exactly what we're doing: drinking and dunking. "You can have 3; we'll take out chances with getting 7."

Eli should have pulled the trigger to Konate there and allowed him to try to make a move.

I just know the clock graphic is straight off the original Nintendo.

I believe that is a camera pointed at both the game clock and the play clock, rather than the typical graphic with the score bug plugged directly into the clock. Which is why I said it looks like they are having technical difficulties.

Eli had mummified but held it and waited for him to be covered. Eli needs to get it together.

I actually liked the look at the LOS if he would have handed it off. If it was an RPO and not designed play action I mean.

Keep the faith brother.

I will be surprised if Reid makes it through this game. They need another RB to take up some slack. Reid has been gimpy half the season.

 

[DruidTM]

MAKE A TACKLE THE FIRST TIME ALREADY!!!

 

[rpastir]

what the F is with the tackling?!?!

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Tackle him, dammit!

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

As soon as I heard the contact of our blitzer with their QB, I looked for a flag and then waited it out for a potential targeting review. College football has me depressingly trained that way.

Also, was that left knee down?

 

[RaleighPittFan]

Twice

 

[pittdrum]

Complete the tackle!!!!!

H2P

 

[cruzer]

who teaches tackling these days?

 

[rmf05]

Terrible tackling. Giving this game away.

 

[pittbb80]

wtf. The second lazy tackle

 

[pbrad]

Here we go. Poor tackling and Eli not looking good.

 

[RaleighPittFan]

It looked like his left leg was down.
I guess not.

 

[President Stache]

thompson needed to finish that tackle.

It kinda sucks, you dont want a penalty.

By the way, he was down, his shin hit the ground.... why wasnt that reviewed??

 

[DruidTM]

Defense in general needs to wake up

 

[BreakingPitt]

Wrap up.. 2 tackles
Unreal
Playing with our d.

 

[Pittisit4me]

His knee touched. Still, our guys refuse to wrap up and it is costing us big time.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

You perfectly diagnose the wide receiver screen, and then you just stand there and let the guy take a couple steps ahead of you so he can catch the ball.

 

[ThePanthers]

We lose this game it will go back to two plays that should have been easy stops but they won’t wrap up

 

[pittbb80]

This team looks flat.

 

[BreakingPitt]

First down ? Wtf

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

That's a huge holding call. Hopefully the officials don't think they owe SMU one now.

 

[thebadby2]

Secondary has been absolute trash in this game.

 

[cruzer]

You can't give up third and 18 in the red zone. Horrible

 

[DruidTM]

Again the defense needs to wake the hell up

 

[pbrad]

This team looks flat.

They always look flat when they have extra days to prepare.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Announcer dude: "It's going to be tough to run against Pittsburgh."

Pitt fans: "Hey announcer dude, have you watched Pitt play this year?"

 

[pittdrum]

SMU is doing everything that beats this defense. Swing passes. Screens. Back shoulder throws. Realizing our CBs don’t know how to tackle. Etc.

H2P

 

[ThePanthers]

3rd and 18 and give up the first. Sharks ain’t hungry

 

[rmf05]

Just need to clean up the careless mistakes. Great teams overcome slow starts. Let's get it going!

 

[pittbb80]

Battle hasn’t been in since that lame effort. Biles hasnt been in.

They just don’t look like they came to play.

 

[pbrad]

Once again Duzz doesn't have them ready. Could get ugly.

 

[Pittisit4me]

If we keep giving up 7's eventually Ben Saul's will be rendered useless.

 

[pittbb80]

They always look flat when they have extra days to prepare.

They weren’t flat last week

 

[cruzer]

Battle hasn’t been in since that lame effort. Biles hasnt been in.

They just don’t look like they came to play.

How can you not be ready to play in what is the biggest game for a Pitt team in the past 10 years?
