Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 311850, member: 39"] Here's my .25 cents worth, because I'm sick of hearing your constant "It wasn't P's fault" and revisionists history. As has been stated, NC State loss in the Dome was to a 24.5 point underdog. And came down to two plays that were fumbled by the coaching staff (pun intended). East Carolina game in 1995 was a 27-24 loss at the Dome in McNabb's freshman year. We had Malcolm Thomas, Rob Konrad, Marvin Harrison and two NFL TE's in Sinceno and Williams. ECU was good (9-3, won bowl game vs. Stanford), but we had much more talent. Our other two losses were to Va Tech and Miami that year - let's get real. East Carolina didn't have more talent than Syracuse, especially with the game being played at the Dome. And the Minnesota game came down to two drives by Minnesota in the last 6 minutes of the game. After Syracuse had taken the lead, despite the fumbles. How you let a 4-7 team with very little talent score twice in 6 minutes is beyond me. And it's not just the losses. It's the way they happen. Team looks totally unprepared, looks sluggish, makes tons of mental errors, etc. Bad timeouts in dumb moments, going for a field goal when down by 4 (BC). Getting blown out by a ridiculous margin. Here's a quick list post McNabb era: Losing 62-0 to Va. Tech, losing to Rutgers by a field goal when they were BAD, getting blown out on the road by East Carolina (which whether you like to admit it or not, should have never happened), losing 59-0 to Miami, losing by one on road to Temple who was kicked out of the league a year or two later, 51-8 loss to Va Tech, another road loss to Rutgers, 51-0 loss in season opener to Purdue, losing again to Temple on the road and the final loss to Ga Tech. Margins of 62, 59, 51, 43 and then 37, not to mention losses to teams that were putrid. Not isolated losses at all. And oh by the way, the largest margin of defeat in the Marrone era thus far has been 31 at home vs. Pitt. Not even close. [/QUOTE]
