As mantioned below - Herbstreit picked Purdue; Howard and Corso picked BC.

Let's go Eagles. Show Purdue the respect they deserve, but blow through them ALL DAY LONG.

Big Jack Krack said...

mentioned.

Big Jack Krack said...

I'll shut up for awhile, but this is a big test for Steve Addazio.

Let's drive down and score.

Nine defenders in the box.

eagleboston said...

Well, I see thee special teams have picked up right where they left off.

eagleboston said...

This where the defense really concerns me. They have a team at 2nd and 20 and they allow them to get a first down. I think the D is our Achille's heel this year,

eagleboston said...

Purdue moving at will.

John said...

Not good. Addazio is good at adjustments though.

eagleboston said...

Offense is going to need to put up 42 today. Their O-line is dominating our D.

CT said...

They’ve used their entire playbook on the first drive.

John said...

Addazio has played right into their hands so far. But if Purdue gets a TD, doesn't mean they will do it all day. I wanted them to respond to us, but we will have to respond to them.

And they get the ball in the 2nd half.

eagleboston said...

John, they did it all day against Northwestern and Missouri. This is the best 0-3 team in the nation.

Geezer eagle said...

Told you this was a trap game.

BC fan since the 1960s said...

For perspective these guys lost to Northwestern which was beaten by Akron and Eastern Michigan which was beaten by Buffalo

eagleboston said...

2nd and 11 and you are running the ball? Huh?

bceagle93 said...

I like the up tempo on O. D is going to need to be much stronger if this is game plan.

Big Jack Krack said...

Let's Gary Tranquill up the middle - 10 in the box.

eagleboston said...

Clearly holding. He did not even have to do that.

TGS said...

One school has played 3 FBS opponents, the other 1.5.
Daz as usual showing no composure.

Big Jack Krack said...

Lindstrom didn't have to do that.

CLB said...

Never give up; Brown to Sweeney

BC fan since the 1960s said...

They COULD score 70 points on this team if they stop insisting on running the ball when the defense has 8 people in the box

eagleboston said...

The air game is going to be there all day. They are playing the run.

This is where recruiting rankings are pure BS. Sweeney only had one other D-1 offer. Are you kidding me?

Big Jack Krack said...

OK D - Tighten up!

They are matching up tall or speedy players against Strachan.

JBQ said...

Why did Lindstrom grab him? Levy was already going by. Really great bailout from AB. Looks like Sweeney was picking up marbles all summer. Last year, he had "stone hands".

eagleboston said...

Walker's returns are a huge weapon for BC.

Big Jack Krack said...

Addazio - you stink.

Geezer eagle said...

Dazoshit only a one-dementional offense

Big Jack Krack said...

I said in the earlier thread - Coaches, give the players a plan to win.

The QB would call different plays if allowed to do so.

That's what bugs me about Addazio the most. He is so predictable, he's making Dillon look bad against a loaded box.

And Addazio is stubborn.

Let's go BC. Throw off the Head Coach's shackles.

Win one for the BC Community.

eagleboston said...

These refs are horrific.

Big Jack Krack said...

Will Harris - hope the knee was down.

eagleboston said...

Offense needs to score every possession from here on out or our ranking will be short-lived. Lose this one and it will take weeks to get back in, if at all.

Geezer eagle said...

These refs are so indecisive

CLB said...

Knee down ?

Knucklehead said...

I said the refs would fuck us.

Knucklehead said...

TGS likes it though. Wants more.

CT said...

Loeffler setting up the play action.

Btw, what the hell, secondary?

Big Jack Krack said...

Hey Steve - let's run it up the middle with 7-9 in the box.

Eventually they will wear down, even if it's 3 and out for us.

Let's stick to our hardheaded, all too predictable RRPP offense.

BTW, the guy's knee was down.

TGS said...

148 to 51 total yards. Excluding one 7 yard run, dillon 7 carries for 10 yards.
Classic Daz.

eagleboston said...

And run on 1st down for no gain again. Great.

Big Jack Krack said...

Jezzuz

eagleboston said...

We're going to be down 20-7 in the blink of an eye. Offense had to score there.

Geezer eagle said...

This is bad. Everything I feared.

TGS said...

BC Being exposed. Like Khead at the kids playground.

Big Jack Krack said...

31 yard punt. What else needs to be said?

Big Jack Krack said...

Blatant holding.

Unknown said...

8 or 9 in the box and we continue to try to run. Addazio is a complete meathead.

Big Jack Krack said...

Oh no.

TGS said...

BC is such a Well coached team.

eagleboston said...

I was nervous about this too, Georgia. We need to pass to set-up the run. We have not thrown on first down all game so they are just keying on Dillon and the run blocking has not been solid today.

Big Jack Krack said...

WTF? Bullshit.

TGS said...

Can’t the Daz just play Holy Cross every week?

Shabby1011 said...

Classic BC performance, doesn’t matter who coaches are or players, always can count on this type of beat yourself performance by BC

eagleboston said...

Allen has got to watch the ball! These are how games are lost. It only takes 1 or 2 critical plays.

Geezer eagle said...

Stupid penalties and dazoshit being outcoached. What a surprise

BC fan since the 1960s said...

Defense getting gashed two weeks in a row by mediocre teams. Will have major problems down the road with better than average teams, let alone Clemson

Knucklehead said...

Bullshit, TGS's dish of choice.

Knucklehead said...

Stupid question TGS.

TGS said...

36-16 total plays. How’s that game plan to run Dillon over and over and gas the PU defense working out Daz?

Big Jack Krack said...

I gave up golf for this! If we lose, that's one thing - but to be out-coached so predictably is so frustrating.

Addazio has completely played into their hands.

TGS said...

As horrible as they’ve played, one quick play from the lead.

eagleboston said...

I don't think Purdue is a mediocre team. No defense has been able to stop their offense. This is a very potent offense, which is why we have to score every time we possess the ball to keep up with them. We need to stop running on first down. Use the play-action to loosen them up and set-up the run.

That was concerning about their strategy to steal the BC defensive signals. Is Reid smart enough to change up the signals at half?

Big Jack Krack said...

This is so sick, Addazio.

CT said...

The play calling. Yikes.

That bootleg has an unblocked safety. Again and again.

Big Jack Krack said...

You can't make this shit up.

eagleboston said...

Awesome Dillon first down run for 2 yards!

Geezer eagle said...

This is embarrassing

eagleboston said...

They are constantly in 3rd and 2 and we are in 3rd and 9.

eagleboston said...

Game over.

Big Jack Krack said...

Okay Addazio - what have you got to preserve your job as the Head Coach of the proud Boston College Eagles?

You personally have put us into this hole with your STUPID game plan.

What are you prepared to do? Martin is watching you closely.

Geezer eagle said...

Another7-6 season by a pitiful coach who gets out-coached consistently.

Big Jack Krack said...

College football is supposed to be fun, Addazio.

Cut them loose.

eagleboston said...

How much you want to bet the first play is a run to Dillon for no gain?

TGS said...

BC win percentage down to 27% from 75% at kick off.
Time for another Daz contract extension.

BC fan since the 1960s said...

i am sure Purdue looked at who BC beat including Wake and said we are better than them. And so far even at 0-3 they are.

TGS said...

Bye bye Heisman candidacy.

eagleboston said...

Again, 2nd and 10 and you are running the ball??

BC fan since the 1960s said...

To go three and out that much against this defense is just incredible

eagleboston said...

#67 is a horrible blocker

Geezer eagle said...

I can't watch this anymore. Total embarrassment.

TGS said...

Do the announcers know two of BC’s win we’re against UMass and HC?

Big Jack Krack said...

Addazio bet against his own team. He's throwing this game.

This is the problem with legal betting.

You head coach can fix the game and make $.

Addazio - you SUCK.

firespaz said...

well there goes the our ranking. how does addazio not know how to prepare the team after this many years

TGS said...

These idiot announcers think every BC kid is a NFL prospect. Clearly drinking the Daz koolaid.

BC fan since the 1960s said...

No timeout when Ourdue got to fourth Down. Amazing

eagleboston said...

Well, I predicted 7 wins in the pre-season so I am not going to be disappointed. This is pretty much what I expected for this season. We are still a few horses short of an 8-9 win team.

Goberry said...

At least our quarterback has a tackle.

eagleboston said...

Keep in mind, if you are going to lose any game, better to lose an out of conference game than an ACC contest.

TGS said...

A few horses short? Try a whole herd.

TGS said...

Sounds like EB reconciling himself to another weed whacker bowl appearance.

Big Ern said...

Have the horses. The jockey is terrible.

eagleboston said...

Darn, down 3 scores. Don't think we can catch-up. Oh well. Frustrating, but that's the life of a BC fan. Only one great season in my lifetime, 1984.

Knucklehead said...

TGS, when the announcer says something you can internalize it. I don't need your play by play of the play by play. Find a friend.

eagleboston said...

TGS, look at the schedule. I'm thinking Temple is a toss-up, NC State, Miami, Clemson and Va Tech are losses. That is 5 and maybe 6 losses. What other bowl will we be eligible for but a toilet one?

Navillus said...

Walker is the only bright spot today. Offense is inept and the defense continues to be a concern.

I knew this top top 25 ranking would be short-lived.

One thing you will never hear is Daz outcoaching anyone.

rgmarine said...

I find it mind boggling this offensive game plan right now. If there is one flaw with Dillion he does not have initial explosiveness and against a stacked line this is a killer. There is zero offensive imagination.

Big Jack Krack said...

Addazio has a history of being completely unable to mount a comeback.

I said on the top, Purdue gets the ball in the second half.

We have been held to 37 yards by a team that hasn't been able to stop anyone.

This is due to STEVE ADDAZIO.

Make no mistake about it. Our Head Coach is responsible for not giving our players a game plan to win.

9 man box? Safeties keying on Dillon knowing he will run to the outside because the middle is clogged? Check.

Will Steve Addazio run the rock anyway? Check.

Is Steve Addazio hard-headed = over his head? Check.

Will he be able to recover in the second half? No. Check.

Purdue thanks you, Steve. The bet money was safe.

ReiDaDor said...

Out coached and out game planned and the OL has s still not good...simple

ReiDaDor said...

37 total yards in the 1st half is completely inexcusable!

Big Jack Krack said...

I am watching this game solely to see BC's response.

This will go a long way to see if Addazio is retained after this contract.

Big Jack Krack said...

That was not a first down.

Big Jack Krack said...

Third pass knock down.

CT said...

Loeffler dusting off the playbook from 1933.

Big Jack Krack said...

JEZZUZ. Addazio you are a piece of work.

CT said...

Brown turning back into a pumpkin.

eagleboston said...

Why are you doing a screen pass on 3rd and 11????

CT said...

Yeah, they’re better than us. Pretty clearly.

Big Jack Krack said...

Another shitty punt.

I'm done blogging.

Goberry said...

this game has some fine Cheshire High School play calling.

Big Jack Krack said...

Boilers in full control - was the comment going into the break.

eagleboston said...

There are guys open downfield. You are down 3 scores. Air it out!

CT said...

When your kickoff returner is your MVP, you’re kinda screwed.

Big Jack Krack said...

Before I go - our Offensive Line has been exposed.

Is Baker playing center? Or A. Lindstrom?

This was a big decision we discussed before the season.

Petrula should have been left at center.

Baker can be the captain from the sideline.

CT said...

Torres hesitated on that blitz. Could have gotten there.

CT said...

Sebastian getting picked on.

CLB said...

Well, these apples aren’t going to pick themselves

Big Jack Krack said...

Addazio plays favorites.

We are completely exposed.

Here's the deal - 30 to 7.

Do we quit?

CT said...

Their QB is pretty good.

Have to score here.

CT said...

When he has Sebastian one-on-one.

Navillus said...

Long layoff and this is how they play. Absolutely unprepared and embarrassing.

So sick of this sh*t.

Big Jack Krack said...

Addazio - DO WE QUIT?

NOW IS YOUR MOST IMPORTANT COACHING IN YOUR HEAD COACHING LIFE!

I have an idea - Let's run Dillon on first down, behind 30 to 7.

CT said...

Mankind hasn’t made a drum bigger than that? Disappointing.

Big Jack Krack said...

Know kidding aside.

Time for EJ Perry or McDonald.

Big Jack Krack said...

This will be a great learning experience for BC as we prepare for ..........

Who cares, Addazio?

BC 86 said...

Egg

Big Ern said...

Perry or McDonald better at handing off?

Bravesbill said...

The clown show must go.

TGS said...

PU 99.1% win probability. Daz will bring us back!!!
Degenerate gambler Khead, the Appalachian State Line just move a 1/4 point. Go check it out scumbag.

CT said...

I think that might be it. Brown is horrible without Dillon going crazy.

John said...

We wanted to believe that Brown was better. Unfortunately, he has a long way to go.

Sweeney may have been able to pull the defender down before the ball arrived.

Who knows? We are getting our asses kicked.

We wanted to believe - we were desperate to believe that we were good this year......

CT said...

Do those replay monitors come with binoculars?

CT said...

Wow. Brown. What a dum dum.

CLB said...

Time for Perry

John said...

Perry or McDonald time.

Addazio set up his own QB.

Give the kid a seat.

Big Ern said...

BJK I apologize. It was time for Perry or McDobald.

Goberry said...

Nick Saban replaced his quarterback at halftime during the National Championship game. Steve Addazio’s quarterback will still have passes being batted down on the plane ride home.

John said...

Purdue is getting away with holding every play.

John said...

Another first down not made but readily given.

CT said...

Well that injury would suck, if serious.

rgmarine said...

purdue is definitely a much better team than it'record and bc is definitely not as good a team as it's record. BC has a hard time handling speed and i fear this could be a let down year. i would feel better if i could trust addazio to coach up this team but his track record doesn't portend this happening. i hope i am wrong. if they should lose to temple this could begin down slide which would be very disappointing considering the high expectations

CT said...

Who is that Lewis kid? Like his size.

Big Jack Krack said...

I go back and forth from my phone (John) to my PC.

This is really bizarre.

We are not this bad, and Purdue is not this good.

Addazio is the difference.

Big Jack Krack said...

Make the QB change, Addazio - like the goalie change in hockey.

Just for now. Give Brown a break.

One of our backups will move us down the field.

eagleboston said...

Year 6 with Addazio and we are not seeing a breakthrough. I doubt he will be fired as we should get 6 or 7 wins, but I don’t think we can compete for the ACC with him at the helm. He’s just not a very bright guy.

CT said...

ND killing Wake on the road.

eagleboston said...

Wake getting destroyed by ND so clearly our 3-0 record was a paper tiger.

Knucklehead said...

TGS, Keep taking notes. You are infatuated with KHead. While you are watching the game on the espn gamecast from the public library. Must suck not having a TV or your own internet connection.

I saw a Comcast ad here for free internet for families with kids on the free breakfast plan. Check it out. Will get you into 2000's.

BC fan since the 1960s said...

Not surprised BC lost although I thought it would be very close, not surprised the defense is exposed as not good after seeing them last week, not surprised the game plan was awful because that’s par for the course but I am SHOCKED Brown has looked so bad and worry his confidence has been damaged. He should not be in this game right now because this game is lost and they are going nowhere’s if he is injured. Also needs to just put this behind him

Big Jack Krack said...

Who is playing Center. He's getting blown up.

It looks like #71

But if it's #77 (Baker) it's my worst fear.

Addazio is blind due to "loyalty" and favoritism.

Big Jack Krack said...

Overthrows Jeff Smith, who wouldn't have gotten the first down anyway.

CT said...

Yeah everyone sucks today.

What was he doing on that 4th down throw? That was hopeless even if he didn’t air-mail it. This dude blows.

eagleboston said...

McDonald might be better than Brown. This was a disaster by Brown and should not happen at this stage of his career. Also, I question the fight in this team. To not get a couple scores late shows they gave up early.

Big Jack Krack said...

The most shocking thing, BC fan since the 60's, is that I bought into this. I have been watching since the 60's as well.

I really thought this year was going to be okay. I'm losing my edge, and was a victim of being a fan, instead of looking at Addazio.

I knew that a loss was possible - but this was pitiful.

It's all on Steve Addazio. It really is.

We must make a change at center - bring Petrula back.

Put Phillips back in.

Big Jack Krack said...

Let Perry try to score.

CT said...

I don’t know. Outclassed in everything except kickoff returns.

Loeffler stunk. Brown needs Dillon in every way imaginable to be effective.

Credit Purdue. I think they have the world’s biggest drum, but am uncertain. If I could get a 30 for 30 on that, I could speak more authoritatively on the subject.

CT said...

God Dazzit. Get a kicker!

Big Jack Krack said...

Hey - missing extra points is no longer a joke.

Addazio - WTF?

CT said...

I mean come on. There are girls in high school kicking extra points. My pet peeve. Besides, you know, getting manhandled.

John said...

What happened to Lichtenberg? Did he quit because of Addazio?

Tessitore misses often and looks over his head.

This is another one on Addazio.

BC 86 said...

Losing by 7 or 10 whatever, but this is pitiful after 9 days of preparing. Thought win today, lose to Temple for the wtf game, not losing faith but dumbfounded by the game plan and execution.

Bravesbill said...

The missed PAT was the cherry on top of this shit sandwich. It’s pretty clear that Daz is way in over his head.

bceagle93 said...

Great coaches with 9 days to prepare win big road games. Clown show got to go.

Ryan Day for HC in 2019

John said...

O Line is under performing.

We have a new coach who does not have the relevant experience for such a position, IMHO

Secondly, we need Petrula back at center. It's obvious, but Addazio plays favorites.

So we have handicaps to start with.

Tough to overcome.

CT said...

There are definitely more Pur-dudes in the Midwest, apparently.

We saw the same plays last week, run in the same situations, with little imagination. We’re like Ga Tech. Have to stay ahead to keep the ground game relevant. And that bootleg to the right...consistently leaving an unblocked safety. It’s all on tape.

Loeffler dropped the ball today.

Is the kicker on scholarship? It looks like an internship for course credit.

mod34b said...

Can’t block
Can’t tackle
Can’t surprise opponent
Can’t devise a winning game plan
Can’t run
Can’t pass

We are a MAC level team that should worry if we can beat a former Mac team Temple.

This game sucked is almost every way.

mod34b said...

The inability to tackle is the most mind boggling thing.

John said...

Another example of Addazio loyalty - he hires an Offensivei e Coach who isn't yet qualified. But he has history with Addazio at Florida.

Hey, that's big, huh?

bceagle93 said...

Lose a close one on the road due to a few mental errors by players, understandable.

But the final score is indicative of an inability by the coaches to adapt their game plan. Too much talent on offense to have the starters only able to score 7 points and get beaten like that by a lower to mid tier Big 10 team like Purdue.

Simple answer: despite player mistakes, Daz got outcoached. Not the first time and certainly not the last. The excuses should be interesting....

Maybe it’s time to head back to CT Daz. Bristol is calling.

John said...

Christian Wilkins will blow by Jon Baker as though Baker isn't even there.

Petrula would have a chance.

STL_eagle said...

Disappointing loss. Short-lived stint in the rankings. Next week will help shape the narrative for the rest of the season but clearly 7-6 is looking more likely than 8-5 or 9-4 at this point.

Napolean Bonaparte said...

At some point you just have to wonder if the genetic make up for major revenue athletics at BC just isn't there for reasons beyond our control that we will never fully understand. The Fish would probably make for the best field hockey facility in the country.
