I’m not impressed with any aspect of this team at the moment including the coaching. I feel sorry for all of the season ticket holders. Signed up for Flo and it might be only a month. And I have to ask again if Roger is watching the same game we are seeing. He’s really not very good.

nothing like a missed PAT to add to the fun

[Clickclack]

Lol....well, we'll always have last season. On to basketball.

[GreatDanes06]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahhaha....forget this garbage. Welcome back to Gattuso mediocracy. As if it never left. Above avg talent blinded us from the same old same old last year.

[GreatDanes06]

By the way...Burkett does not deserve to start. He has impressed me with NOTHING.

[ctdanes]

He has a tendency to stare down the receiver. Lucky to not have 5 or 6 picks. Decent arm talent tho

We may win the next 3 (weak competition at the bottom of the CAA or worse) but the last 5 games likely result in losses. We could very well go 4-8, MAYBE 5-7. Brutal. Last year was such a tease.

When you have to replace 50% of your team, a season like this is in the realm of reality.  Lack of a coherent offensive unit, defensive unit spending 40 minutes on the field, penalties and turnovers led to today's result.  Our ability to win games no matter the opponent will be limited with efforts like these today.

Gattuso isn't the only one who has to replace kids. The whole world has the same issue he does. Meanwhile you have programs like JMU and UD moving up the world....while Gattuso continues to have a 40% winning percentage in year 10. Unbelievable. 

People need stop making excuses for the guy. Every coach has to deal with what he has to deal with yet many of them succeed.

JMUs administration set goals and took them seriously and look what they've turned into. UA talks the talk but doesn't put their money where their mouth is and we are left with a mediocre sports program at almost every sport.

Almost all teams have the same issue if they are good.   It’s the new world.

Didn't watch the game. Haven't read the game thread. Spent the day drinking on the golf course. Played like crap, but at least I had fun. 

You are all jealous. Ignorance is bliss.

I am glad you stayed hydrated yesterday, whether or not your choice of beverages led you to playing like crap only you know, my choice to go to the game had no surprises after seeing the first game from the stands.  Further, Greg Guttuso indirectly expressed concerns about the game's outcome to me during a conversation at the HOF dinner.

He knows that this is going to be a difficult season.

Defense is worse than I expected. I have absolutely no idea why they keep the D HB so far off the line..........Myles HAS to pass better and make better decisions. All he had to do at the end of the game was run the ball - nobody there..........

They knew it was going to be tough and won't get any easier....

I don't know if it's the offensive line or Woodell himself, but he looks terrible. FAR cry from what he was doing last year. I prefer #23 myself. Keep him in the game.

Definitely agree with CT - this team may be in the lead right now but they do not pass the eye test. I do not see them competing with the top of the CAA or FCS.

Also, another year and another year of absolutely terrible video production. It's not even a Flo issue at this point - our A/V team is just amateur.

The new field looks gorgeous now that that have finished it off with the "Bob Ford Field" verbiage in the endzones.

It's the O line.  He has ALWAYS waited for the line to open a small hole. They are not doing it this year.  We performed far better in the hurry up offense.
