Another inportant piece of this is that there is a huge difference between saying “didnt like that call in such situation, would have liked to see this….or wish the coaches would start using X personnel more, etc rather than the constant “coaches suck, player x sucks” which promotes zero productive conversation.
Also these are college football players. There are going to be mistakes. If you demand perfection at all times in all aspects of the game, maybe just watch on Sundays. It's boring AF by comparison with the college game, but they all execute very well, or they get fired.
I'm sorry, does every post have to be a deep dive into coaching analysis? Are comments such as "pissed at the coaches" not allowed? Should one not be allowed to pissed at the poor coaching without it being a x's and o's detail explanation of why one is pissed at the coaches in later posts?
Well said. Not every play is going to be a winner. Opposing offenses and defenses are going to succeed at times even if you do make the right call, that's reality. Players will have off games, you don't know what injuries they may be playing through or other factors. If you see a team consistently dropping games they shouldn't or not getting better over the course of a season then it's fair to look at what's going on with the staff or personnel. Got to remember at the college level that you're consistently turning over 1/4 or more of your roster every year between graduation, transfers, the draft, and medical redshirts. Most NFL teams don't go through that much turnover every year unless you're a bottom of the barrel type of team. We also nearly replaced our entire coaching staff in the offseason, a regime change that hasn't happened in 12 years. There were going to be growing pains, especially with some big holes at certain positions. We're getting better though, and the future is bright.
Behind both N Carolina and BYU in # of votes. UNC actually 25 in coaches poll.
The third down miss to MM in the second half,… was catchable but could have been a better throw. He is playing pretty well overall
He under threw the ball the Thomas we and got for the touch down and he over threw Mayer open in the endzone.
I mean to me it seems pretty apparent he locked onto Mayer and saw he had inside leverage and didn’t even acknowledge the presence of the secondary defender.
The adlib with the under hand toss to Diggs while about to be crushed told me he's settled in.
A few other nit-picky things:
At least on number 3, I will give Pyne credit. He hung in there until the last second. I think it was more on Diggs. He did a nice set up move to get open on the angle route. But, he took too long. He should have known pre snap that he was the hot read and either turn his head quicker or scrap the little double move.
