SMU game thread

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

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

Lashlee has Narduzzi's number. Sometimes the experts are right, and tonight is looking like one of those nights to this point.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

A chance for a TFL, and another miss.

 

[rmf05]

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

If they need Duz to be ready for this one, they should be shown the door.

 

[cruzer]

Tackling is so bad tonight

 

[RaleighPittFan]

The good news is that this team knows it can overcome deficits. They can do it again.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

They have better athletes than us. Period. We had that garbage play sniffed out and they still got 7. Better team is winning.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

And then two guys with a chance for a tackle to make a stop on third down, and yet no.

 

[Cmart2004]

If we could wrap up and tackle we’d be winning. Now we’re down 14-3

 

[DruidTM]

That phucking play should’ve been stopped at the 4…. Run through the gdamn play

 

[cruzer]

Pitt absolutely needs to answer here or this could get ugly.

 

[pittbb80]

Just really bad tackling. They’ve been pretty good all year. Uncharacteristic. Hopefully they’ll get it together

 

[Protes]

Offense needs to step up. Field goals aren't going to be good enough.

 

[rmf05]

That wasn't coaching. They have playmakers. We haven't shown that capability yet. We need to do it soon or this will get really ugly.

 

[Pittisit4me]

Better athletes making better plays. It's going to get ugly if we don't go down and score a td on this drive. Our defense will not hold this team down.

 

[HailToPitt1985]

The good news is that this team knows it can overcome deficits. They can do it again.

They overcame deficits against much lesser teams than SMU. I wouldn't call Cincy or wvu even mediocre teams. This Pitt defense tonight is terrible. Missing tackles and poor coverages. This isn't looking good at all for Pitt tonight, but still 3 quarters to go.

 

[Millerton]

Jacoby is bad

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Our o line blows. You can't get away with that against SMU, Louisville, and Clemson.

 

[DruidTM]

No chop block anywhere

 

[pbrad]

They weren’t flat last week

Last week was last week. This week is against a ranked team.

 

[rmf05]

Eli is mashed potatoes.

 

[HailToPitt1985]

I think we're seeing the team that Pitt really is tonight. 8-4 this year would be about right. That's still better than expected before the year started.

 

[President Stache]

This is a weird game. We really arent playing bad, they are just getting a key play here and there. Need Eli to be alittle more electric like their QB is.

The officials seem a bit ... poor

 

[pittbb80]

Need to take some shots down the field but the Ol is not giving them time

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

No chop block anywhere

Yeah, they mistook a guy falling down for a chop block.

 

[pittbb80]

Eli just doesn’t look comfortable

 

[rmf05]

Theres a dart from Rli!

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Announcer guy: "These two teams are really good tackling in the open field."

Pitt fans: "Hey announcer guy, are you watching this game?"

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

I think we're seeing the team that Pitt really is tonight. 8-4 this year would be about right. That's still better than expected before the year started.

Beat Virginia and then find a way to win one of the other three and we're 9-3. I would hope we don't finish 1-4.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Please don't kick a field goal here. First off, Sauls is due to miss. But we need 7.

 

[cruzer]

They are manhandling us on the LOS

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Please don't kick a field goal here. First off, Sauls is due to miss. But we need 7.

Told ya.

 

[Protes]

Don't like the decision to go for the FG.

 

[ThePanthers]

When Saul’s misses it’s not our night

 

[rmf05]

No confidence in Eli. You can't wait much longer.

 

[RaleighPittFan]

Gut check time.

 

[DruidTM]

I just do not understand that 3rd and 2 call at all

Then Saul’s misses his first FG of the year

 

[cruzer]

This is not going well. Now we have Sauls missing his first FG of the year. So far, the magic looks to be running out.

 

[President Stache]

I think we're seeing the team that Pitt really is tonight. 8-4 this year would be about right. That's still better than expected before the year started.

You think???

We certinly dont look worse than SMU. This is normal... home team is fired up. Just need to have Eli playing better. We should have more points, he missed several open guys


OK... maybe kinda bad,

 

[Cmart2004]

We were due for a dud. Lots of game left though

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

No confidence in Eli. You can't wait much longer.

Wait much longer to what? Make a QB change?

If that's what you are waiting for you are going to have a long wait.
