HJS {l Wrote}:BC scored on its first drive of the game. And then mustered -2 points the rest of the way. I’d love for one of these “reporters” to ask Hafley what he plans to do in the future so that he never enters a season with 1 QB on the roster.
eepstein0 {l Wrote}:I didn’t watch yesterday so can’t comment there, but Hafley’s team commit a ton of penalties and just flat out dumb mental mistakes. If you want to criticize him fairly it’s this.
twballgame9 {l Wrote}:Not sure what you expected the playcalling to be. After the first few series there were 9 in the box. They had to throw downfield it was what was open.
eagletx {l Wrote}:Its easy to obsess about a QB all knew was D3 capable. I'm more alarmed at things like a defensive secondary that allegedly was supposed to be so good. Admittedly, I went to bed after they scored their 31st point, but what I saw before that was NC St. adjust in second half with short crossing routes and delayed dumps over the middle without a defensive player in sight that went regularly for 10+ yards. Initially you can blame LBs, but on this defense they are committed to bolstering against the weaknesses of the DL. A t some point the DBs have to adjust to what is really happening. At any rate, the defense as a whole was questionable coming in to the season, and that remains.
Then there is the puzzling playcalling on offense that seems hellbent on having Grosel do things he is incapable of doing, like reliably delivering the football longer than 10 yards downfield, the persistent use if Flowers as a decoy, etc...Hafley clearly has abdicated the offense and he needs a more competent OC.

NC State made second half adjustments; Bc didn’t.
I thought our first half game plan was good. Slants, get Zay touches on short throws allowing him to make plays, try to establish the run. Second half was a shitshow where we kept thing to run Garwo into a wall of Nc State defenders followed by letting Sinkfield try to get yardage doing the same. It was clear to me that Once they took away the run, we had no plan on how to move the ball.

twballgame9 {l Wrote}:The line blocks fine and the receivers all caught fine for the other guy. The defense stinks. Run with that as your excuse for Grosel.
Corporal Funishment {l Wrote}:The line can't block, the receivers can't catch, the team commits penalties at an astounding rate...but the problem is the quarterback - because he wears a hairband.

Yeah. No. We saw this on the opening TD drive. We went cover 1 and locked up man. You want to scheme pressure that means man coverage. You saw the result. Their receiver caught the touchdown. Our guy is still wondering what the fuck happened. Having a front 4 that can’t get any pressure really hurts.

They should be playing man. A fluke catch on tight coverage doesn't prove otherwise. They tore up zone.

They had a plan. Throw over the top. It was executed poorly.

Everyone here who’s not a shtick poster admits that Grosel cannot reliably throw over the top. Why make that the game plan then? Putting players in a position to fail is Daz-esque. Need a better game plan.

If they had someone that could throw it over the top they wouldn't have had to. It was the only game plan for that defense. He had to execute or the D had to be great. If he couldn't complete the wide open passes down field they weren't scoring. He didn't.
