FOOTBALL GAME THREAD ECU (0-2) @ Marshall (2-0)

[Badger369]

We shouldn’t even be worried about this or in this position. This is no better than Doc ball.

This is absurd.

All the cutesie gimmicky shit while the other team keeps churning

 

[sportsphantom1]

So the kick return team is just going to watch the ball roll down the field? and not even try to pick it up?

 

[Marine03]

We need an upgrade from Wells

 

[Herd-in-ATL]

We're going to lose a game we should have won by double digits. UGH.

 

[Badger369]

What a joke. Up 17 and choke. So much for the great Huff era.

 

[herdfan429]

Well we folded like a cheap suit

 

[mlblack16.]

What is that, 21 unanswered points in the 4th fvcking goddamn quarter?

 

[120050143]

Ayo is that doc

 

[mlblack16.]

Giving them the onside kick was inexcusable

 

[Badger369]

Good job. The usual suck.

 

[Marine03]

Told ya Wells is the Achilles heel of this team

 

[120050143]

So I’m not saying bench grant BUT

 

[mlblack16.]

What a fvcking meltdown

 

[mlblack16.]

Of John Holliday proportions

 

[sportsphantom1]

Horrible loss. This falls squarely on Huff. Doc 2.0

 

[Herd-in-ATL]

I still say it goes back to 4 and 2 and you throw it deep instead of going for the first down and run even more clock.

 

[bgr28]

Glad we had a "great" turnout for that sh*t show!

That was absolutely the turning point. What the hell?

 

[Herd-in-ATL]

Glad we had a "great" turnout for that sh*t show!

Glad you stayed up to watch it.

 

[Herdpiper]

Congrats to ECU on the comeback but this game was lost by the 4-2 call by Cramsey. Get the first, run clock, score. Perhaps Wells will realize that throwing into double coverage and interceptions really do change a game.

Not only that but on the missed FG possession, we march down the field with Ali running the ball but Huff puts Evans in the game and Evans cant get any positive yards in two tries so it leaves us 3rd and long, the dive stalls and we miss the FG. Evans is not a #2 RB. Find someone else. I dont know what Huff's obsession is with Evans. Evans averaged 3 yards a carry for the game, Ali averaged 7.9

Amen.

That will be the last great turnout this year

 

[IslandHerd1]

Well the honeymoon is over on the 3rd date it seems.

 

[mlblack16.]

Well the honeymoon is over on the 3rd date it seems.

And we didn't even get to 3rd base

 

[Chris McLaughlin]

And we didn't even get to 3rd base

Yeah but at least I finished about mid way through the 4th quarter.

 

[mlblack16.]

Yeah but at least I finished about mid way through the 4th quarter.

Buddy, sometimes you gotta take matters into your "own hands." 😆

 

[IslandHerd1]

Yeah but at least I finished about mid way through the 4th quarter.

It’s all about how you finish.

a lot of talk that was shot to death in the 4th quarter

 

[muthed]

One thing that really hurt us was the 10 yard pass to the TE by ECU. Open all night.

 

[BleedsGreen33]

Told ya Wells is the Achilles heel of this team

You can put this on Grant all you want. He's not the one that allowed ECU to score 21 points by marching down the field, sucks at kicking FGs, or botched the onside kick.

Maybe if Huff doesn't go full simple jack and pulls Ali for Evans we don't even need to settle for a FG and at best run more clock.

Maybe if he doesn't hire the worst STC in America who can't even prepare his team on how to attack an onside kick up the middle.

It's not Grant who fumbled the ball through the endzone.

Grant definitely is far from perfect, but the lists of reasons why we choked away a 17 point lead is a lot longer than "our QB sucks".

 

[raleighherdfan]

Clearly bad decisions all around. But anyone suggesting this is Doc 2.0 clearly didn’t watch much of Doc 1.0 and the epic meltdown that was last season capping off 10 years of mediocrity and under performance.

I had no grand illusions that this year was going to be anything but a rebuilding/ re learning year with some bumps along the way, period. This team was a complete dumpster fire last year. EVERYTHING about this coach and the system he is putting in place is the antithesis of Doc. I’m going to be patient. A lot of season left.
