A view after the dust settles

The first offensive drive was beautifully constructed and executed. It showed we could create 5-15 yard gains both running and throwing. Given that, we should have thrown a few deeper balls to further stretch and confuse the defense. JF has a strong enough arm to do so. We have to try more 20+ yard pass patterns. I suppose this will be easier in our next two games but sure would've been nice to see in game 1 because it might have made our last drive wayyyy more important.

In a game in which NC St was called for one penalty in the entire game, I can see why some people might be frustrated. We got abused by ACC refs.

Continually pointing out a play where the refs got it right might not be the best way to express how bad the refs were.

So down 17-14 late in 3rd qtr. is not in position to win, having ball with 8+ minutes to play down 10 with 1st down at the NCS 41 is not in a position to win?

Why does a player have to showboat in order to learn something that he should already know.

You move on, I'm stuck on stupid penalties, vanilla defense scheme not reacting to game events like running QB and very unimaginative play calling. That is all coaching.

The failure to execute was on the coaches offensive, defensive and special team's schemes.

Beginning to see bad passing offense wasn't as much on ZT last year as on Charlton.

well, I agree on the stupid playcalling for sure.- when receiver after not open, and Qb nowhere to run - they've figured out your scheme - OC needs to adjust.

How about holding our pass rushers all game?

I can’t get there on the Rosa gaff , but I get the frustration. Your focus on coaching is well placed. The more time there is to take in and process what occurred it is pretty obvious the in game coaching killed us on both sides of the ball. I can give the D a grudging pass because I’m sure the whole thesis was deny the big play and make them work. But it was at the cost of having a QB run wild. At some point you need to adjust and take risk. We died on the sword put in the ground.

O - there are no excuses. Bad play calling all day. He’s a freshman throw on the field excuse wore thin by the end of last season. Bring his guy and QB learning the play book doesn’t apply. Mature OL in hand and we are trying to out run a faster team instead of leveraging our downhill strength.

I repeat for the nth time, Charlton had not shown he is up to the task and proves it over and over. I hope like hell he finds a groove or it’s going to another low O production frustrating experience.

I think that was my point. There are a lot of actual bad calls and there are a lot of people on here who want to keep the focus on an actual good call the refs made.
