In-game comments post: Duke

Throw your real predictions out the window. They've been washed away by the weather. I don't know what to expect from either team except that it will be wet. I will keep telling myself that helps BC...until something doesn't go our way.

Leave your thoughts and comments below.

Unfortunately there's only supposed to be a light rain now. BC may want to bring they play book back.

Hoib said...

Still pretty windy, favors us, I think. We'll know soon.

ATL_eagle said...

I am watching the NC State game and it is not a downpour but things are still wet.

mod34b said...

here we go!

mod34b said...

R-R-R-P

ATL_eagle said...

Real creative play calling there on that first drive.

TGS said...

Zzzzz

Bravesbill said...

Oh Lord. A slow developing run up the middle on third and short. Bad bad start.

mod34b said...

duke -> R-R-i-P

this might be a long day.....

ATL_eagle said...

Based on the first two drives, this game might be a 0-0 for a long time.

Big Jack Krack said...

Whew. Let's try something else.

ATL_eagle said...

Flutie was lucky that wasn't a pick 6. He stared that in the whole way.

Big Jack Krack said...

We'll wear them out eventually with our three and outs. That pass should have been a pick six.

Bravesbill said...

If Duke's defense is hardly on the field, there's no chance they get worn out.

ATL_eagle said...

That was a terrible call. Great coverage.

mod34b said...

time form SMITH!!!!!!

TGS said...

When did Claude Julien become the BC coach?

mod34b said...

throws are SØ bad

mod34b said...

oh.. smith is in...

ATL_eagle said...

Even though that series sucked, I still want Smith out there the next series.

mod34b said...

but he is not running......

mod34b said...

Duke figured out Don Brown's weakness??

mod34b said...

Good Kicker for Duke

ATL_eagle said...

3-0...could that be the final score?

mod34b said...

team right, Smith left.... please

eagleboston said...

Game winning field goal by Duke.

mod34b said...

there you go!

ATL_eagle said...

Smith might not pass, but we don't have to with him.

ATL_eagle said...

Another punt, but I still like the Smith offense better.

mod34b said...

Smith Pass looked good ....except of course tipped at last moment

eagleboston said...

I don't like the offense with either one. Seriously questioning the recruiting at the QB position.

mod34b said...

geez Eagleboston... you really lose all faith so quickly

mod34b said...

OL does look at little better than FSU game....

Heydad said...

Don't understand featuring Outlaw. Not the better back between the tackles.

mod34b said...

some cracks in the D...

mod34b said...

Duke to Dink n Dunk bc to Death.. middle soft

Bravesbill said...

Duke has probably the first legit offense BC has faced this year so far.

ATL_eagle said...

That should be incomplete.

Big Jack Krack said...

Several home town calls already.

mod34b said...

nice. D!

ATL_eagle said...

Just bring pressure. The LBs look bad in coverage any way.

mod34b said...

mr automatic

eagleboston said...

D has given up 2 long drives. You cannot do that when your offense is completely inept.

mod34b said...

Yes, Daniels is not good in coverage (or catching the ball), hence th soft middle

Rush is nt getting enough pressure on Duke.. he does get rid of ball pretty quickly...still..more pressure..

mod34b said...

e/b if O can't score... well you know

mod34b said...

O can't even move the ball

ATL_eagle said...

See things open up with Smith.

mod34b said...

yes, smith makes things happen

good

mod34b said...

short pass please

eagleboston said...

Coaches need to get the plays in faster. I hate burning timeouts in close games.

Big Jack Krack said...

That's a TD

mod34b said...

that is a TD.. announcers awful

ATL_eagle said...

The refs are screwing BC today.

eagleboston said...

If that is not a TD, I'm going to be irate.

mod34b said...

fuck these refs....southern homerism is so ACC....

mod34b said...

do these not practice the FG snap... omg

bc1900 said...

BC are inept.

Benjamin said...

Welp. Special teams being special

Heydad said...

Any minute now Addazio's head is going to explode.

eagleboston said...

I'm officially irate. This needs to be reported to the league office. The Duke play was not a catch and that play set them up for 3. Smith had the TD. The refs have cost us 10 points.

Benjamin said...

No breaks going our way today. Refs making it 17 men on the field for Duke.

CT said...

Because nothing screams South like Duke University

BaldEagle90 said...

Sitting in front of the end zone. That kid made the catch and moved it three times. The fix is in.

bc1900 said...

BaldEagle90 said...

These refs would be chased out of a pee wee game.

eagleboston said...

Somehow, BC is going to need to find a way to score 17 points or we will be owned by Duke in both football and basketball. Very disappointed in the D today. Extremely vulnerable to the pass.

CT said...

Duke's offense has been awful this yr. def not legit. Like, u know, through 4 games.

bc1900 said...

26-0 Duke. BC are awful and inept.

CT said...

You do know that the ACC ref crew last week in the LSU v Syr game was suspended. For being incompetent v LSU.

mod34b said...

how many times had BC gone long this year for Robinson???......not effective (except robbed TD)

Where are the short passes?

eagleboston said...

Why is it taking them 40 seconds to get a play off?

mod34b said...

deep breathe CT..... we all know the south is corrupt..nothing you can do about it :-)

eagleboston said...

This is where burning that timeout earlier kills BC. Coaches need to do a better job of putting this team in position to win.

mod34b said...

swiggert can't catch now????

eagleboston said...

This offense is approaching Spaz-ness

bc1900 said...

They stink, stop wasting your time with them. I feel sorry for some of you people.

CT said...

Breath or breathe?

Duke isn't the south. The fix is not in.

And yes, the south is corrupt. Too mant carpet-baggers.

mod34b said...

This half felt like 2012 Spaz Football

ATL_eagle said...

I have hope for the second half. All Smith and some defensive adjustments.

Benjamin said...

Smith is not a good game manager. He had zero presence of the clock.

mod34b said...

Harvard is the Duke of the North.

could be either breath of breathe.... you know that whole mindfulness thang



CT said...

Bc1900 feels sorry for us on the bc message board.

bc1900 said...

I do, I am on the beach right now typing on my phone. You idiots are in front of your computers and tv's. I don't watch this crap, I do like to follow sometimes though through the comments. That Braves guy needs to post and tell it like it is. They are losers, they are not good.

Big Jack Krack said...

We'll see how tough we are in the second half.

Duke will make every effort to score on their first possession. If they succeed, I think we are in trouble of getting a lop-sided score. Cutcliffe not worried about BC at all, at this point.

Go BC - stuff em in the 2nd half, and get some turnovers.

Bama starting to blow out Georgia in the rain in Athens.

BaldEagle90 said...

Fix is totally in. These refs might as well have Ds painted under their eyes.

BaldEagle90 said...

By the way this place makes BCs tailgate experience look like Alabama. So beyond pathetic. Makes you really hate Duke for being so lame.

bc1900 said...

They are better than BC in every sport both schools play. They are better academically. For being lame they are doing something right.

Benjamin said...

Hey BC1900, thank you. Thank you for sharing your moral superiority with us. Great job to be on your phone and commenting while at the beach, especially to come the comment section and share with us you are at the beach. I also love your pity. My enjoyment of BC football, even when we lose, is definitely something to be pitied.

ATL_eagle said...

Good first stand by the D there. Just what we needed.

mod34b said...

Special teams being special/

WTF

ATL_eagle said...

That's the game. Alston has been bad on punts this year.

mod34b said...

unbelievable

eagleboston said...

We don't deserve to win this game.

mod34b said...

painful viewing

eagleboston said...

Going to be a long year when neither quarterback can complete a 5 yard pass.

And why is Alston still fielding punts?

mod34b said...

NICE GOAL LINE STAND>>>>

cutliffe has no respect whatsoever for BC..

ATL_eagle said...

Wow. Huge D stand.

mod34b said...

flutie is in

mod34b said...

wow!

ATL_eagle said...

First completed pass of the game!

eagleboston said...

10 guys in the box and you run the ball? BC is getting flat out-coached.

ATL_eagle said...

We are asking too much of the Defense.

TGS said...

No coach in the country is better than Daz in trying to lose close.

Heydad said...

Can't play to keep it close and try to win it in the 4th quarter when you have no offense.

mod34b said...

TGS - Spaz had that same skill! ha

Sp-D-az is annoying

eagleboston said...

Smith 2-10. You are not going to win when your QB is that inept. I don't know if Flutie is the answer, but Smith can't move the team. We need find someone that can score.

ATL_eagle said...

Huge save there by Howell.

TGS said...

I see the resemblance now. Daz is the illegitimate coaching progeny of Spaz.

ATL_eagle said...

The refs are killing us.

eagleboston said...

I guess to be fair, BC has lost their starting tight end, starting center, starting QB and starting running back. Most offenses would struggle with that number of losses.

mod34b said...

need a TD - get it to 9-7

Big Jack Krack said...

We can still win this game. Come on, BC coaches.

mod34b said...

Flutie's turn,,,,maybe some passes

mod34b said...

S-W-E-E-T

9-7

Big Jack Krack said...

There you go.

ATL_eagle said...

Wow. Now we need to do it again.

Big Jack Krack said...

I don't care who the QB is - call the plays.

When they have 9 or 10 in the box, someone has to get open.

TGS said...

Now those were great away uniforms!

mod34b said...

ok, now i request a pic (or better, a pic-6)

mod34b said...

F-L-U-T-I-E!!!!
F-L-U-T-I-E!!!!
F-L-U-T-I-E!!!!
F-L-U-T-I-E!!!!

F-L-U-T-I-E!!!!F-L-U-T-I-E!!!!F-L-U-T-I-E!!!!F-L-U-T-I-E!!!!F-L-U-T-I-E!!!!

mod34b said...

Troy's our boy.......can he do it again....

Big Jack Krack said...

DEFENSE - DEFENSE

And then win the game.

Big Jack Krack said...

Pass to open up the run. Duh.

TGS said...

Play for TD, not FG.

TGS said...

Horrid call on 2nd and 7. Careful, Duke trying to strip the ball.

Big Jack Krack said...

Give me a break, coach.

eagleboston said...

10 in the box and they run it again!!

eagleboston said...

Another time out that is going to come back to haunt them. You need to save those for a last minute drive.

TGS said...

Idiot announcer blaming Flutie for delay when coaches have been slow all day getting calls in.

Big Jack Krack said...

Have no fear - we have a WR who cannot get open, and who is too small to block on the field for another critical 3rd down.

Prove me wrong but the OC has to wake up.

eagleboston said...

That false start was a drive killer.

Big Jack Krack said...

Oh Boy.

TGS said...

Spaz, I mean Daz playing for FG. Moron.

Big Jack Krack said...

The coaches played for that, rather than trying for a first down.

TGS said...

Chicken shit coaching right there. I thought Daz was growing before our eyes, then he reverts to conservative wuss playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Disgusting.

BaldEagle90 said...

30 years can't recruit one kicker. I hate them

Napolean Bonaparte said...

What a fuck&*g pussy call.

Big Jack Krack said...

Special teams Duke 9 (3 for 3) BC 0 (0 for 2).

Now they can kill the clock unless with stuff them completly.

Still not over.

Benjamin said...

I don't hate going for the FG. Shows faith in d, kicker. People are going to complain no matter what the call

eagleboston said...

Now we are in big trouble. If we get he ball back, we will have less than a minute and the idiot coaches burned a critical timeout.

ccw said...

Addazio thrilled to lose close games. Does not understand percentages. No way that kid makes the FG.

TGS said...

Ran on 2nd and 8 and 3rd and 12. Then Relied on inexperienced kicker on road in tough weather conditions.

Big Jack Krack said...

Our players deserve to win.

If you are always compared to your uncle, call your own plays at the line, Troy.

The coaches are not up to the task.

Big Jack Krack said...

Why is 26 in there? We need WRs to get open.

Big Jack Krack said...

Again, why is 26 in there?

TGS said...

The kid smith simply can't throw. Great pattern there. 4th and 3, throw a 1 yard pass.

ccw said...

that possession was a disgrace.

Bravesbill said...

How do you not run a route past the first down marker? All coaching there.

ccw said...

embarassment.

eagleboston said...

Coaches blew this game. Burning critical timeouts. Running Flutie and then passing with Smith. Absolutely stupid.

ccw said...

could flutie not come back in for 1 play?

Big Jack Krack said...

Coaches should apologize to players and fans.

TGS said...

This is real simple. If you like 6-6, maybe the occasional 7-5 year and a trip to lovely Shrevesport or Detroit for a toilet bowl game, then the Daz is your man.

bc1900 said...

They stink. Both bc football and bball are awful. When will people realize this. The heart wants them to win, the mind says they are awful. Maybe another 1-2 Wins at best.

mod34b said...

Very bad coaching of special teams and offense

Big Jack Krack said...

Flutie may have gotten a broken collarbone on that play. I hope not.

BaldEagle90 said...

Shocking lack of talent on BC. They suck.

eagleboston said...

I should not be too upset because I called this loss in August, but that probably cost BC a bowl. I don't see where they get 4 more wins with this schedule.

mod34b said...

sp-D-az

bc1900 said...

You can't expect anything more with the offensive talent they have. This isn't a video game. They can barely complete a forward pass. They are inept at best.

mod34b said...

Who is this 1900 guy? Why is this dick here?

Big Jack Krack said...

I hate to pick on a player - so the coaches are at fault for having #26 in there.

It's okay when he is the 3rd or 4th option - but not when the game is on the line and we needed someone to get open or throw a big block.

Pitiful player rotation - and they won't change.

I wish for the old days, in that sense. Let the QB call his own plays - at least in certain situations.

Bravesbill said...

Someone needs to tell Daz what happened to Spaz. He basically has become spaz with a better defense. Although truthfully, BC was much more watchable 3 years ago when they passed with Rettig all day.

Napolean Bonaparte said...

Nice guy - but one dimensional. There is no substitute for the forward pass. And young QB's need to build their confidence - you have to allow them to play.

bc1900 said...

I am a realist, they suck. Are you blind, it's a joke on the field. Take a step back and really look.

Big Jack Krack said...

Coaches need to apologize - there, I said it again.

Play to win. I saw Addazio and one of his coaches talking on the sideline, and Addazio was told they needed "the 35". They played for that position and put the freshman in a tough spot in the rain.

Sure, he could have made it. But they should have tried for the first down, with the FG as the last option.

Instead, they played for the FG all the way.

And then the D stuffed them and we had enough time to win. Those last 3 plays were bad news all the way.

Let's go for Paul Peterson for OC.

rgmarine said...

Duke should be thankful they were facing a high school offense being coached by pop warner offensive coaching. just an average offense would have been enough to beat duke today. bc has one of the most embarrassingly inept passing attacks i have ever seen. receivers can't separate, qb's can't throw , no offensive imagination. have to feel sorry for the defense. I will admit that if the o line could pass block better and we did have better receivers then maybe flutie might show better. it's going to be a looooong season. what really scares me about the future of this team is daz's inability to recruit capable div 1 qb's and receivers and not to mention a field goal kicker.

BaldEagle90 said...

Thanks troll boy. Football at Duke is an fing disgrace. Just highlights how bad BC is this year.

BaldEagle90 said...

BC need to decide who and what they are. Either get all in and get some serious fund raising going or be like Holy Cross. Except w a kick ass hockey program.
