I think this is the worst W&M team I have ever seen. That goes back a lot of years. They look slow and so uninspired. The play calling is awful.

Sorry to dump on this but not sure how we allowed ourselves to drop this far.

you needed 3 f ing yards. why?

Wtf....terrible play call....third time this game we have made the same call.

That long sideline pass to Burdick has worked so well this game. I can see why they keep running it on 3rd and five.

It was 3rd and 2...2, not 20. Why?

3rd and 2 and another go route 30 yards down the field.

I’m totally confused.

There’s a really strong chance that we go winless in conference play. I can’t believe that I’m typing this.

can i say it now "game over"?

Neither QB has any touch on long balls...nothing to do with the wind.

Really? I actually think Mitchell placed some very well given the coverage. We've basically been asking our QBs to tbrow our receivers open

Classy move by Maine not to run it up on that last drive.

We are outside release every play with our WRs. The defense knows exactly what we are doing and the DBs have a much easier time because they can just run the WR to the outside making it very difficult to get separation.

We don’t have the game changer on the field, but the play calling could help the players out.

So correct me if I'm misunderstanding this. The WR sees there's no safety help and runs a go route. Shon sees the single coverage early in his progression and decides to throw it up. But because of the combination of playcall and personnel that player is rarely going to be very open.

Basically Mitchell can make the "right" read given what our offense is supposed to look like but it will very rarely work in our favor. It seems to me that we either need to either adjust the reads or adjust the routes.

When the defense knows exactly what a QB and WR are going to do it’s very hard to get separation and very hard for the QB to make the perfect pass. The only WR route that is thrown consistently is a go route to one side of the field, always the short side.

We are very easy to defend. Yes, the personnel has something to do with that. If we don’t WRs that can separate on long balls, but are great route runners, then run plays that have cuts in them. Run routes over the middle. There was not one comeback thrown today, not one slant. Routes the beat man coverage. Maybe, just maybe that would set up the go route. Call plays that work to the strengths of our WRs.

Towson is the only shot at a W. That is probably at best 60/40 in favor of Towson

What are the excuses this time?

Oh, yeah. I remember now. At least our "boys" tried hard. And that, folks, is good enough for me!

Beam me up!

If they'd let Jimmye drive a golf cart up and down the sidelines, he'd probably do it. This empty figurehead is reminding me so vividly of Bobby Bowden in his senile years, where he practically presided over his team at a distance that would likely have required the use of binoculars.

Mitchell is not to blame here. He's young, and the staff around him has done a woefully inadequate job of preparing him for this moment. Indeed, the talent is lacking both on & off the field.

You should never be entirely predictable, but you certainly can't be predictable when you don't have the talent or the discipline to execute with absolute dominance and perfection...every single time.

This is the worst team W&M has ever fielded in my lifetime. It breaks my heart. I'm sorry, but it's time for a change. I don't care how many times that has been said and then pooh-poohed (or worse) in the past, and I don't care how many lives Jimmye seems to have. This is it. Done. Game over.

Me thinks you just "surrendered"...

The only personnel advantage we ever have in the passing game is the size of Mague and Caskin/muse/klaus in a short game and we never use it.

Ha!! Yeah, you wish. Um, duh, it's called retooling, regrouping, re-organizing, acquiring competent leadership and staffing. That's called not surrendering to mediocrity, the status quo. That's called not surrendering to a paradigm that has become untenable under the crushing weight of lifetime tenure.

No, Sir. I'm not surrendering anything. I'm simply proposing that which is the smart thing--the only thing--to do operationally-speaking under these present circumstances.

Unless, that is, you don't care about winning.

But please do go on. I enjoy watching you defend the indefensible. As I've always said, there's a special place in hell for apologists.

There is nothing to say. Right now we can't beat a drum.

I think I'm going to report you...
