as sucky as we played...


at least we don't have to go to Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and play Florida... they're going to get their shit kicked in all season

these threads always put me in a better mood after a shitty game

you know what would be swell? if receivers could catch TD passes LOL

9/3/2009 10:12:17 PM

Hahaha

I swear I'm making a "That's some NC STATE shit right there" t-shirt.

9/3/2009 10:12:27 PM

I'd say we really were the better team out there. we just fucked ourselves on one play and that was the difference.

9/3/2009 10:12:30 PM

you always call the TO on 1st down and 2nd down. the goal is to force them to pass on 3rd (which we did) in which case a completion is probably for a first down anyway which will end up running out the clock, but an incompletion will stop the clock for free

9/3/2009 10:13:39 PM

This game was extremely painful to watch, not only as a state fan, but also as a fan of the game.

9/3/2009 10:13:41 PM

Nah, still don't like it. You're free to disagree, but I'm not a "complete dumbass" wrt football. Given how the game was being played, they would've most likely thrown on 3rd anyway the way it was going. Certainly weren't going to do it on 1st or 2nd since the goal was to chew the clock. Difference being though, if you don't call the timeout on 1st and 2nd we would've gone from 3 mins to 2 mins. Think Spurrier would've gone for it on 4th at midfield if the 3rd down pass didn't work out? Dunno about that.

9/3/2009 10:13:51 PM

As long as we get our stuff together before the ACC portion of our schedule, I'll be fine.......that is if we get our stuff together.

Completely agreed.

If there had been just ONE ball-dropping moment in which our players hadn't shit the bed, we'd be 1-0.

9/3/2009 10:14:07 PM

I don't think we were "better"...at best, you could claim it was pretty even.

Our offense was flat out terrible. On par with the Stone/Evans years.

9/3/2009 10:14:27 PM

are we gonna be bombarded with shitty music videos all year.

9/3/2009 10:14:36 PM

We weren't the better team on either side of the ball because you couldn't really tell how good South Carolina's defense was in the horrible wake of our offensive execution and play calling.

9/3/2009 10:14:36 PM

Their defense was clearly better.

Our O-line is porous.

9/3/2009 10:15:08 PM

ok, how about you revise your "gameplan" when you consider the fact that South Carolina DIDN'T FUCKING GO FOR IT ON 4TH DOWN AT MIDFIELD, THAT WAS A THIRD DOWN PLAY YOU FUCKING DUMBASS!!!!

9/3/2009 10:15:14 PM

it's only been one game and I'm already sick of the SEC's dick in Jesse Palmer's mouth the entire game

Hey dumbass, you're taking what DID happen into account with what MIGHT have happened. At the time TOB didn't KNOW that the 3rd down would've worked, DUMBASS. Hence if it didn't work those two timeouts would've been REALLY NICE, HENCE WHY I SAID IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE IF HE CALLED THEM LATER AS OPPOSED TO SOONER, DUMBASS.

9/3/2009 10:16:29 PM

Oh look. Two good teams playing football on TV.

How does the state of Idaho have a better fucking football team than us?

IDAHO, PEOPLE.

IDAHO.

9/3/2009 10:16:44 PM

SC had some serious speed on defense. Much more than I anticipated. Regardless though, our offense was pretty awful.

Good job defense (for the most part). 7 points will/should win you most games.

9/3/2009 10:17:05 PM

you never fucking assume that the team ahead by 4 is going to go for it on 4th down at midfield with 2 minutes to go, that's just fucking retarded

[Edited on September 3, 2009 at 10:17 PM. Reason : .]

9/3/2009 10:17:15 PM

IDAHO.

9/3/2009 10:17:36 PM

well theres only 2 ways you can take this game

a.rusell wilson isn't good anymore
or
b. sec is just far far superior on defense.


i'm leaning towards b since this is the 2nd game we have seen wilson against usc and its the same thing twice.

either that or its gonna be a loooong season

9/3/2009 10:17:50 PM

Seriously? You think they would've gone for 4th at midfield when the point difference was only 4 points? Really?

9/3/2009 10:18:04 PM

On the plus side, I'm glad to see that Archer is starting to incorporate the 3-4 that has been speculated for some time.

While the execution was poor....this is NCSU opening the football season on national tv...what did you think was going to happen?

Sweet Jesus, I've said it before and I'll say it begin. For pretty much all last season and this game George Bryan is almost always open but he never gets the ball.

No we're just getting beat by Duke, UNC, GT, Maryland, BC, etc., etc. Which is waaaaaaaaaay worse.

9/3/2009 10:18:43 PM

Incidentally, we'd better get our shit together pretty damn quick.

Next season's probably going to be brutal with all the seniors we're losing. Can't say "wait 'til next year" this time.

9/3/2009 10:19:09 PM

no, i don't assume they go for it and i guarantee any football coach, analyist or player isn't going to go for it on 4th and whatever around the 50 yardline with 2 minutes to go with the defense that SC has

[Edited on September 3, 2009 at 10:19 PM. Reason : .]

9/3/2009 10:19:12 PM

No way. Game was way to close. I diagree, they would've never gone for it on 4th there.

9/3/2009 10:19:54 PM

Play calling was awful. Wide receivers were awful. Offensive line was awful. Running backs were awful. It was a whole combination of awful. I don't think RW was to blame, although if he doesn't get out of the pocket then he's another average-sub average quarterback.

9/3/2009 10:20:02 PM

so, you are just gonna let them roll off 3 minutes with 3 minutes to go and hold your timeouts? All when you can possibly get the ball back by losing a total of 30 seconds by using 2 TOs and getting an incomplete? are you really arguing this?

and YES, they WOULD have gone for it on 4th down when there was only 10 seconds left on the clock because they ran the clock down because TOB didn't call a TO. that's what you aren't getting. There was only time on the clock where you say they should call a TO because the TOs were already called

whatever, that is ridiculous, our offense was anemic but at least our qb wasnt scoring td's for the other team


@mamba: russel had plenty of passing games just like this one last year, the diff was that he wasnt afraid to pull it down and run last year

Here I go falling for the known troll...

B is true, but not because of anything South Carolina did this game.

And A is just fucking retarded. Our wide receivers had plenty of chances to give RW a TD, and dropped them. If you're referring to the shitty play for the first half, it's very likely he was told to play very conservatively.

9/3/2009 10:21:05 PM

why on earth did we punt the ball?


^wilson was not even seeing the te wide open the whole first half. he wasnt letting er rip, wasn't running and when he ran he was getting gobbled up from behind by 300lbs



[Edited on September 3, 2009 at 10:22 PM. Reason : terrible]

9/3/2009 10:21:15 PM

Shut up with the timeout bullshit. It really had no bearing on the game either way. We scored 3 points. Three fucking points.

Fact of the matter was this. 1st down w/ 3 minutes at midfield. No TO on 1st and 2nd = 2 mins left. If the 3rd doesn't convert, I doubt they would've gone for it on 4th and we'd have the ball back w/ two timeouts. If it does work, yeah we're screwed. That's all.

I'm willing to bet against that, unless you are talking about bass fishing.

9/3/2009 10:22:23 PM

no. No TO on 1st and 2nd downs = 1:35 and us with 2 timeouts left on 3rd down when they're probably going to pass anyway

I agree with Maverick1024.

9/3/2009 10:25:42 PM

We actually had two TOs, one got burned earlier. I agree that the outcome of the game was probably not in question, but still. Of course they would've passed on 3rd there but if it didn't work out it would be fourth and we'd have two TOs and enough time assuming some lucky passes. That's all I meant by it.

9/3/2009 10:25:50 PM

it is a good idea to take your dynamic qb, who made amazing plays instinctively and off the cuff, and overcoach him and force him to play the whole game like he was wearing leg shackles

what is the point of having Glennon so ready to go if Russel is never going to get hit??

9/3/2009 10:28:36 PM

mambagrl is a troll, guys

9/3/2009 10:28:45 PM

I too agree with maverick1024

I'd prefer my coach burn timeouts extending the game

two tos on offense is less important than saving clock wich is what tob was trying to do

9/3/2009 10:29:30 PM

That was the biggest mistake, yes. Should've taken the shackles off RW. Oh well. This game doesn't necessarily mean anything about the season, I hope.

9/3/2009 10:29:43 PM

No concussions, only a calf injury. 7-3 is better than 34-0. That is all that I can come up with that is positive.

9/3/2009 10:34:41 PM

My immediate impressions of this game.....

The good: Our defense only allowed 3 pts really. SC missed a field goal they earned....the 7 points were given to SC by the offense.

We didnt "run out of energy" like last year, we just didnt get it done and executed poorly on offense.

We looked head over heels better this year compared to last year at this time.

The bad: Our offense, which was supposed to be our strong point this year, looked at best average. We just seemed out of sync for pretty much the entire game up until the last few minutes.

9/3/2009 10:36:18 PM

I agree we seemed to castrate RW for whatever reason. I know the coaching staff talked about limiting his running this year to keep him healthy, but I don't think you can completely blame them.

1) SC was fast. Those amazing plays RW made last year -- when he'd roll out and then find someone open downfield or take off for a first down -- weren't happening. Why? Because SC (Norwood) beat us to the punch everytime.

2) Part of me thinks Wilson was a little timid. I know -- it's like calling Jesus himself timid around here. But they said in the pregame that he wouldn't even watch the replay of last year's "hit." Part of me think the one holding Wilson back was Wilson.
