GAME THREAD Official Game Thread -- WVU vs. TCU

[oceantide83]

horrible play calling - Dana gave them 3 points at the half. Just inexplicable that we had to punt there. Absolutely need a stop on the first series of second half.

No, it was great play-calling. The fact is, you can't play the game in hindsight. You have to take a chance there and try to get points before the half against a team like TCU on the road. Had it went for a TD people wouldn't be complaining.

 

[wvpaper]

these players were ready to play their hearts out tonight. dana just cant support them, he's not ready

 

[tigeer]

Would've been great to get a hold there on D but if it's not straight uphill to this outfit they wouldn't be able to do do what they do. What is that? Well, that's up to you to decide. For me, it's hang a deep ball up for a safety to roll over and knock down.

You have got to be kidding me? Inside your own 10 yard line in a 10 point game with less than a minute to go.......and TCU had 1 timeout? Run it on 1st down. If you gain good yardage on that then pass it. But starting out with a pass was STUPID!

 

[Krighton]

Nice drop

 

[tigeer]

That was on target. Can't waste it.

 

[MountaineerWV]

So....how many FREAKING 3rd downs are we going to throw it deep!!!!!!!!!????????

Seriously, it's getting pathetic!

 

[wvpaper]

we need 4 yards. and we throw we back to back bombs

 

[wvpaper]

absurd decision making

 

[MountaineerWV]

we need 4 yards. and we throw we back to back bombs

We have done that 3-4 times tonight, and dozens of times this year. Amazes me. But, he is an offensive genius. Hopefully for another team next year. I'd rather have a crappy, nothing coach next year than Holgorsen.....which is what he is.

 

[tigeer]

Well, in all fairness many used to complain about 3rd down draw plays.

 

[MountaineerWV]

I've noticed the Dana defenders are in hiding tonight.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Well, in all fairness many used to complain about 3rd down draw plays.

Well there have been three times we have had a 3rd and 4 this game and every time has been a bomb deep. So, you tell me...

 

[tigeer]

Gotta get off the field on this series.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Please God, PLEASE let Lyons pull the plug after tonight's game.

 

[tigeer]

I don't disagree with you. I just brought up an old school Nehlen complaint.

Well there have been three times we have had a 3rd and 4 this game and every time has been a bomb deep. So, you tell me...

 

[GoWVU]

That looked like he had stepped out to us in the stands, what did you guys think?

 

[skygusty_rivals]

It would be nice to see an 8 yard pass and a run after the catch. Don't mind a few bombs to keep them honest but way too many deep balls on short yardage situations.

 

[79eer]

A lot of people dressed up for Halloween tonight as Windbags

 

[tigeer]

That looked like he had stepped out to us in the stands, what did you guys think?

I thought so but camera views were bad. They went with STANDS, not CONFIRMED

 

[tigeer]

That was a solid throw. And they're off...

 

[MountaineerWV]

But...but....but.....we are playing the #5 team in the nation........:angry: I'm so sick of hearing that excuse.

 

[Chazz Michael Michaels]

The gap in on-field play by their receivers compared to ours is immense.

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Good thing we have a good defense or we might have a losing record.

 

[WarezEER]

I had dinner (business meeting) with a reliable source this afternoon. It's very official that Dana ain't going to Miami. He will coach the WV team for the next five years. My source is seldom wrong. Dana will work on making the defense better. TCU has really exploited our defense.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Where were these play calls on 3rd and 4????

 

[MountaineerWV]

How was THAT not a PI on TCU? Same as what we have done and called for.

 

[MountaineerWV]

WHAT THE F***K???????????

 

[mountainEERnation]

No, it was great play-calling. The fact is, you can't play the game in hindsight. You have to take a chance there and try to get points before the half against a team like TCU on the road. Had it went for a TD people wouldn't be complaining.

Clueless

 

[MountaineerWV]

How the F**K was that a hold on Sills? I mean seriously!

 

[Chazz Michael Michaels]

That was pass interference on Shelton Gibson.
And a hold phantom call on sills. Terrible calls against us tonite

 

[skygusty_rivals]

They tackle Sills and its offensive holding.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Gibson is as good as Doctson. If he had a QB like TCU has, we would all see it.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Unreal. Is Stevie Wonder calling these plays?

 

[skygusty_rivals]

Flag, can it possibly be on TCU? Yes.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Must be Stevie Wonder calling them.....nice screen pass on 4th and 5........OFFENSIVE GENIUS!

 

[spreadoption_rivals80969]

Hahahahahahahaha!

Thrown the damn ball past the first-down marker on 4th down, please.

Offensive Genius, my butt.

 

[CAJUNEER_rivals]

I'm sorry, but that was a doubt 4th down call.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Maybe we have this wrong. Maybe it's "Holgorsen is offensive, genius"??????

 

[CE4WVU]

Lots of overthrows and dropped passes. Discipline and fundamentals are sorely lacking. Very frustrating...
