Official Wake Game Thread

[CuseLegacy]

Since we don't have a game thread, I'll just say it here. They have to stop showing the clock in the final minute out to a hundredth of a second.

Now you do.

Our "starting" QB threw a pick on his first throw of the season. And threw a punch in his first game last season.

Ya I don't think Hunt would be doing much better.

4pt game. Glad the team doesn't give up as quick as our fans.

[TheCusian]

Aptly describes this team.

No - they won't give up. With fans like these...

 

[Chris02M]

Our wrs being blanketed.

 

[anomander]

This is exactly why I thought it was amazing that posters were so quick to count WF as an automatic W. Unfortunately there are no automatic wins with this team, and Wake has actually shown improvement.

 

[Cuse5]

Thompson looks really slow off the ball and can't get off his blocks. Think he is still injured.

 

[bcubs9497]

DBs have got to step it up in the second half. Not impressed with O's execution at all.

 

[orangefan13]

everything is good to great accept our secondary. you can tell they are young.
They got burned deep once, and stopped playing any tight man coverage. Atleast tighten up make it harder for the quarterbacks pass window and give the pass rush more time to get there. Hes a good quarterback but has a 5 yard window every pass.

We are losing because there QB is light years better... He isn't even good.

 

[Chip]

Now you do.

Thank you. Tried to start one thru Forum Runner but it locks up for me when trying to start a new topic.

I thought it was an automatic win, but of course I bought into the BS that this year would be different.

I bought into GRob's too.

People are just venting. We could pull this out if we get some fortunate breaks. Straight up I think Wake may be the better team, given our weakened D and inexperience at QB.

 

[CanadianSU]

Whigham is utterly horrendous again this year.

 

[djorange1989]

Schafer is supposed to be a defensive coach and he is getting smoked. You know who complains about injuries and bad luck? Bad teams.

You know who posts nonsense like this and can't even spell the coach's name?

 

[djorange1989]

Whigham is utterly horrendous again this year.

He hasn't been the same since the FSU injury, there is no getting around that

 

[jgeorge322]

I think d makes appropriate adjustments in second half. Need lester to make adjustments. Were still only 1.5 halves in.

Light years...no. WF QB has a year of playing experience under his belt. Dungey has one game.

Yeah - I get it. I love how people extrapolate an entire season from 1Q.

Truth is Dungey and Lester both had bad 2nd Q, and the D couldn't get off the field. But there was some good in the first.

Missing Erv. Need more Fredricks.

 

[Nicknack]

This thread is an excellent example of what many of us were talking about yesterday when we were pointing out the difference between negative posts versus ones that are just being critical or as some would say, realistic. The first thread (and a few others) illustrates the former while the last five threads embody the latter.

We are still VERY much in this game but I too am disappointed on our inability to move the ball like what we showed in the first drive and our inability to get on the QB and avoid all of those completions. I would encourage "fans" to let this play out and then judge but no need to get nasty about it.

 

[Orangello]

I am interested to see how we try to shut down the pass in the 2d half. If we don't we're toast.

 

[Ringostar57]

Had enough of Morris/Strickland...More Fredericks needed. Need to get into a rhythm and the O line needs to own up and get it done.

 

[Scooch]

People are venting. It's the online equivalent of complaining to the person next to you when you're at the game.

I don't take anything anyone says here seriously when it's during the game.

 

[Eric15]

If Wake scores on their opening drive we are really in big trouble.

 

[qdawgg]

Honestly, other than our first drive, I'm not seeing anything significantly better than when McFuflunkit was calling plays. Obviously nothing that bad so far but even Mcflunkit put together some nice looking drives.
