CAPE Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Not saying this necessarily means anything, but in the regular season the Ravens blew out the Broncos, the Bills, beat the Chargers convincingly, had a loss at KC to open the season that came down to the last play, lost a game at Steelers that they literally gave away with multiple penalties, 2 turnovers inside their 30 yd line that resulted in Steeler FGs, and Tucker missed 2 very makeable FGs. Beat the Steelers soundly at home in the second matchup, and blew out the Texans. I think that's all the AFC playoff teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 This weekend thing down here is a chilly soaker with about 1-2 inches of much needed rain, at 36 degrees and a NASTY northerly wind. We need the rain BAD and we are all grateful. Sending it your way as a snowstorm, straight outta Texas with love. Hope the models are wrong and DC gets a surprise 6-12 snow. Models can be wrong. Get those shovels ready. Heavy wet snow has caused many a blower to blow gaskets. Get the IPAs stocked up too and get ready for some nice snowy jebwalks. I think you will all LOVE the new Jebman AI Model. It's been right so far....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Berkeley County schools have used up their 5 allotted snow days and are now mandated to go to remote learning with any additional cancellations. Don’t think anyone is prepared for that right away, so after 20 days off, they are going with a 2-hour delay tomorrow. Hopefully the partial day is spent working out the details before the next snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will never ever sniff a championship with him. And before people start with “PSU isn’t A level” yes I know their recruiting classes aren’t on the same level as Ohio state or Alabama. They shouldn’t win as often as they do. But they just lost to a team with a lower recruiting class than them. PSU is usually somewhere around 8-12 in recruiting talent rank. Schools below that win a national championship once every few years. But to do that you have to beat a team with more talent than you once in a while and Franklin never ever will because he is boring, scared, gutless, lacks any creativity and is a loser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pathetic. They are losers too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Before the game, Kirk Herbstreit predicted that a close game would be decided late on a Penn State turnover that would give Notre Dame the victory. Pretty damned good call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took a bad dip during the turmoil post Paterno and they fully deserved too. It took me a long time to fully care much again and I played soccer for PSU. But in the last 10 years they’ve crept back into the top 10 in recruiting 4 years and had a year at 4. That’s about as high as they ever were. And plenty good enough to compete for a title if you have a coach that can elevate the talent sometimes, which they don’t. 1 hour ago, WxUSAF said: I’m not a Franklin defender, but don’t think that game was in him. Allar had a horrific night and a fluke of 2 DBs slipping on one play lost that game. You’re 100% that nothing he did last night lost the game. Although I favor aggressiveness and would argue punting on 4th and short multiple times cedes control of the game flow to Notre Dame. I’d prefer to lose on my terms if I’m gonna lose. But the bigger issue is he did nothing to elevate them, again, when up against a team they can match or exceed their talent at the line of scrimmage. His record against teams with a similar talent level is atrocious. I’ll give him that he is really good at motivating them never to have a let down. They almost never lose to a lesser team and that gets them to 10 wins every year and a finish between 5-15. But his game style is to just lean on a dominant line on both sides and when he runs up against a team like Ohio State or Michigan that they can’t just maul at the line he does absolutely nothing different. No creativity. Nothing aggressive. Nothing to shake up the paradigm. He just tries the same thing and loses. Was what went down late his fault no. But it was maybe his fault they weren’t up more with 10 mins left and it doesn’t have to go that way. And maybe he does something bold and this one game it kills them. But over the years a better coach (like Notre Danes) would have won some of all these chances he’s had against top teams and that’s all in asking for. Not to win them all. Not to win most. Win maybe 1 out of 4. I’d rather they have a few more bad seasons where they finish out of the top 20 but one year every 15 or 20 they win a title than what they do now. They have the talent to do that. But not the way Franklin has them play imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 @WxUSAF btw if you look at his record against teams that had a 4 year recruiting rating in the top 12 when he faced them it’s even more damning than the 1–17 record they were showing last night. Because sometimes a team overachieves or falls off in the rankings. But if you look at when he plays a squad with similar talent to his he is hopeless. It’s 1-22!

Harv_poor Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Kind of agree with what is being said in that Franklin seems to be a guaranteed 10 wins but not the big one. Its been 50 years since I graduated from there, and losing due to a turn over and then a score has to be one of the cruelist defeats. Just thought OT was guaranteed and then it is a crap shoot.
