Wake really screwed the pooch not coming into this game committed to the run. They tried to go pass heavy early on and were wholly ineffective at it. Now they've dug themselves into a hole that forces them to be pass heavy and they're gonna get blown out for it. I bet FSU scores again before half.

Wake fans chanting for the backup QB but you can't do that to the kid. If you wanna make that change wait until next week. You can't throw a guy out there against the #4 team in the country unprepared to start in a must throw situation on the scoreboard. If you do that, you gotta wave the white towel and just run your offense like you would if the game was competitive.

I don't know anything about their backup but it's a move they should consider moving forward. This starter is NOT it.

Wake misses Hartman

I don't think Hartman would matter in this game.  Although we might have 14 at least.  But FSU is significantly better this year, and our oline is significantly worse.  

A lot of Wake fans want to start the third stringer who helped beat Pitt last week.  But while he might be better, don't think it would matter.  Its akin to Clemson fans wanted to dump last years qb and trying to blame all their issues on him, only to be just as bad or worse this year with a different guy.  While their new qb is playing fairly well in Oregon.  

Changing qb's wouldn't help this week.

      Greg beats Brady for Sportscasting Emmy

      I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that...

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
