Overall a great year - could have been 10-2 if we squeaked out wins over Clemson, FSU, and Colo St...but hey, we cant complain with 7-5. Love the way this team has battled all year. Love the coach, and that we signed him to a well-deserved extension. We are set up nicely for the future, let's hope he continues to recruit hard and bring in more playmakers. I would have loved to see Shakim Phillips utilized more this year, but understand our throwing limitations. GO EAGLES! Beat Penn St! 8-5 would be a great year, LETS DO THIS!!

Big day for the ACC. Let's go Eagles!

eagleboston said...

The defense always starts slow. I'm not too concerned yet.

Big Jack Krack said...

Hold em.

eagleboston said...

I think we got away with pass interference on that 3rd down throw.

Big Jack Krack said...

ND - Rutgers drew 47,000 last year.

Nice to out-draw ND.

Big Jack Krack said...

It will take awhile to wear these guys down, if at all.

eagleboston said...

Too bad our QB can't pass or we would have a huge day against this defense.

Big Jack Krack said...

D has to tighten up and play with some emotion.

Big Jack Krack said...

OKay - let's go, Ryan Day.

We need a drive this time.

eagleboston said...

I liked the 1st down call to Phillips, but they should have run on 2nd and 10.

Murphy is just a horrible, horrible passer. I won't miss that next year.

Big Jack Krack said...

21 is not on top of his game today.

eagleboston said...

2 areas of focus for recruiting: we need a QB that can pass and we need better defensive backs. The D backs have been beaten all year so we need more speed at that position. I would love to have a QB as accurate as the Penn State kid. We would have 14 points by now.

Bravesbill said...

Penn St has had numerous receivers get behind BC's defense already.

eagleboston said...

Amazing. I have never seen Hilliman with that much speed!

eagleboston said...

Sloppy game by both kicking teams so far.

Big Jack Krack said...

Penn State spot - he didn't make that 1st down.

eagleboston said...

Now I'm getting concerned about this defense. They just can't get off the field.

eagleboston said...

I know it is our game but we might want to lighten up on the blitzes. This QB is just too good. He will pick them apart all night.

Big Jack Krack said...

I agree. Change it up, Coach Brown.

mod34b said...

Thought pass D had improved. Not so tonight. So far.

Big Jack Krack said...

We needed that and we'll take it.

eagleboston said...

Murphy completed that to Criimmins but it was another terrible pass

eagleboston said...

Story of our season. We just cannot convert 3rd downs. It is why we have 5 losses.

Big Jack Krack said...

had the one guy - Callinan? - wide open and we couldn't complete the 1st down. Unreal.

eagleboston said...

The good news is BC is not playing well and yet they are tied up.

Big Jack Krack said...

Okay, let's smash our way down and get some points.

Big Jack Krack said...

Terrible call.

Also, why is Dudek in on 3rd down?

He really adds nothing to the effort.

eagleboston said...

Murphy is killing us tonight. Sherm is 5'5". Why is he throwing the ball 7 feet in the air?

At some point, the coaches may have to look at Murphy as a liability and give Wade a try. He just cannot keep missing easy throws like this all night.

eagleboston said...

What the hell is Silberman thinking? He just killed the drive. Idiotic

Big Jack Krack said...

31 yard punt.

I'm looking forward to some big adjustments at halftime.

Let's not give up points as the first half wears down, like we do many times.

eagleboston said...

Got away with a block in the back there. That was clearly a penalty.

Big Jack Krack said...

Looked like a block in the back.

eagleboston said...

3 timeouts and time running out and we are running the ball?

eagleboston said...

Just punt it away. 41 seconds is plenty of time for PSU to get into field goal range.

eagleboston said...

Why are we running the ball??

Big Jack Krack said...

haven't shown the desire to win this game yet.

Hopefully we'll make some adjustments at the half.

eagleboston said...

Don't get the whole series. Strange.

Big Jack Krack said...

Wow. We are playing right into their hands.

Cut the sh#@ boys. We suck.

eagleboston said...

This is a really mediocre team from a bad conference that we are tied with now. Not a good showing by BC.

eagleboston said...

We are more successful on 4th down than 3rd down.

eagleboston said...

Toichdown! Great drive. And Murphy actually passed well.

Big Jack Krack said...

21 is a liability tonight.

eagleboston said...

A little breathing room but there is a lot of time left.

eagleboston said...

Leave it to our defense to get Penn State right back in it.

Big Jack Krack said...

We have to score once or twice more for sure. Our DBs can't defend very well tonight.

eagleboston said...

damn. BC never makes it easy. We should not be this close with a terrible Big 10 team.

eagleboston said...

Playing not to lose means we are got to lose.

Big Jack Krack said...

Okay - here's our chance. Will we take it?

One 85 + yard drive.

Or at least a 75 yard drive and a FG.

eagleboston said...

Why hasn't Sherm touched the ball this game.

eagleboston said...

This field position is eventually going to burn us.

eagleboston said...

This is terrible. Play not lose guarantees a loss every single time.

Big Jack Krack said...

That was a TD.

Terrible defensive display.

Penn State deserves to win this game.

Why does Brown fail in these types of games?

Not to mention Ryan Day.

eagleboston said...

Big Jack. We are too one dimensional. It has cost us all season long. Because we can't pass, we have to play conservatively and this allows teams to come back on us. This reminds me of the Co State game.

Bravesbill said...

Disastrous. Murphy and Allston need to get a lot whole lot more touches

Big Jack Krack said...

These refs want Penn State

eagleboston said...

Why was Hohnson allowed to come in unblocked?

Colin said...

I said it on twitter, but if this game comes down to our kicker, you're gonna have to put me on suicide watch.

eagleboston said...

Please do not play for a field goal here.

eagleboston said...

Crap they are playing for the field goal. Pa State can then drive against our shit defense for the win.

Big Jack Krack said...

We should have played for the TD all the way.

Just short.

With our terrible defensive play today, Penn State can score a TD.

eagleboston said...

We needed the touchdown. How many times does Daz have to get burned by that?

Bravesbill said...

Horribly called defensive series Don Brown.

Big Jack Krack said...

I agree. Don Brown is not up to these big games.

Big Jack Krack said...

However, we should have played for the TD, not two Gary Tranquilesque runs up the middle from the 10.

eagleboston said...

Where is Sherm?

Great we need a TD not a field goal.

eagleboston said...

And that defines the season. Momentum killing missed PAT.

Bravesbill said...

Jesus fucking Christ. What a fucking waste.

Goberry said...

ESPN showing the field goal range line when PSU is down 6 in overtime is the dumbest thing I've seen on TV since Penn State's commercial for their online school earlier in the game.

Colin said...

I knew the kicker would screw us, but even that was a surprise. Most typical BC loss I've ever seen.

eagleboston said...

This game was lost when we went for 3 at the end of the 4th.

Bravesbill said...

Fucking disgrace

JBQ said...

What a "horse manure" way to lose a game. The camera zeroed in on Murphy's hold. It was great and Knoll just shanked it. How do you take a team seriously which missed eight extra points? Penn St. deserved to win. How do you have three kickers who miss extra points? Who is the friggin' coach. What an embarrassment!

CT said...

Yeah.

That's BC.

Why the surprise?

CT said...

As much as Daz has meant to the program, this kicking situation is squarely on him. And his failure to find a solution is pretty woeful.

Be a dude. Find a kicker.

eagleboston said...

If you think this was bad, we are not even going bowling next year. We lose the entire oLine and we have to break in a QB, who can't be that good because they could not beat out the worst passer in my long memory of BC football.

Big Jack Krack said...

What hurts more? Losing a game you're not expected to win or losing a game you should have won and were very capable of winning but didn't.

Since I'm 1000 miles away, that loss may be the tipping point for me renewing my season tickets of 40+ years.

Hey coaches - that's 40 plus years, and I'm seriously thinking of giving up my seats on the 50 yard line, because from a coaching standpoint, this game SUCKED.

Bravesbill said...

True BJK. Coaching this game was atrocious. Way too conservative, esp. with the lead in the second half. Don Brown looked clueless.

Tim said...

This is still the same coaching staff that turned a 2 win program into a 7 win program overnight. Frustrating loss, but let's not lose perspective here.

dixieagle said...

I am so freaking sick of missed EPs, under/overthrown passes, dropped balls, moral victories, playing not to lose (and losing anyway.) Get it together, for the love of God!
