Watching BC tonight: TC nostalgia

PepperJ52 : 9/2/2024 8:52 pm
Found myself thinking of the great Coach Tom Coughlin, Mathias Kiwanuka and Chris Snee. Giants fans sure do owe a debt of gratitude to BC.

Direct TV and Disney are fighting. Disney being greedy assholes, basically. DTV will cave, and hopefully it's soon so we can watch MNF.

Hard to tell what is worse, the FSU defense or the FSU QB

Just seems like teams that  
barens : 9/2/2024 11:15 pm : link
Lost the most in the offseason, are the teams struggling, which makes sense. Fl. State, losing their star Qb, running back, too 2 stud wide receivers, 2 first round Defensive linemen and more is just too much to overcome.

Same thing with Michigan, that offense looks like they are back to square 1.
Snee's back on the staff as a scout now

Maybe he'll be good luck for fixing the OL.

DC for BC, not FSU. Bill O'Brien brought him on. Lewis had the BC defense ready to play!
Nice to see

Anybody not paying attention

would think that FSU would be good this year. But they lost so many players to the NFL, I knew they would be mediocre at best. They were a very heavy senior team last year. Their backup QB left on a NIL deal.
This is a rebuild year. I think by the end of the year they will be better, but this is a pretty green team.

Ef UF.
Much like the Giants

He’s definitely a problem and as bad as he was,I think their D is an even bigger problem.

Failed getting a big stop almost every time last night and gave up over 200 yds rushing.

The defense is definitely a problem and after the line TD they gave up the big drive but they also kept them in the game after the two failed red zone trips and the interception to start the half.

Hopefully this is a cautionary tale for teams who think bringing in NIL mercenaries is an answer for missing on high school recruiting.
Coughlin Against Notre Dame in 93  
Lambuth_Special : 9/3/2024 8:27 am : link
Such a good game plan. I re-watched the 1993 ND versus Florida State 'game of the century' that had happened the week prior, then the BC - Notre Dame upset.

Notre Dame's defense was obviously exhausted from chasing Charlie Ward, Warrick Dunn, and the Noles' horizontal passing attack the week prior. The plan worked but started to get shaky in the 2nd half.

So Coughlin has his BC team go full Air Coryell on them: power runs, seam passes, go routes. The Notre Dame defense (featuring several future NFL players) was just completely cooked.

I've always though Coughlin has some issues keeping his teams consistent over a 16-game season, but it terms of a one-off big game coach, he was one of the best to do it.  
Nice start to the O'Brien era  
Lines of Scrimmage : 9/3/2024 8:31 am : link
FSU outclassed at the LOS again. Tough winning games when you run 16c/21y/1.3 and the other team goes for 52c/263/5.2.

Putting it all on the QB is very short sighted.



My FSU theory is none of the players wanted DJU  
ajr2456 : 9/3/2024 8:47 am : link
and have checked out. After his first year at Clemson something similar happened.
Unfortunately I couldn't watch  
Vin R : 9/3/2024 8:57 am : link
Because of the Directv/Disney fiasco...

But it looks like it will be a frustrating season for my Noles - sucks

How'd that work out for them, LOL
I saw a stat...  
bw in dc : 9/3/2024 10:26 am : link
where FSU is the first team in about 40 years to lose their first two games of the season despite being double digit favorites.

Uiagalelei has been a disaster.

Kudos to Billy O'Brien. One of the few from the Belichick coaching tree who has been good everywhere he's coached.
Dabo gave up on him  
Paulie Walnuts : 9/3/2024 11:51 am : link
For a reason he was awful last night I was waiting for a substitute QB to go in

Hard not to be impressed by BC's showing,  
Section331 : 9/3/2024 12:11 pm : link
they looked really physical on both sides of the ball. The FSU QB though, oof. I thought the Noles WR Poitier looked really good, if only he had someone who could get him the ball!

I'm still bullish on Dabo, but O'Brien can coach. Underrated.
