CPJ's game management and decision making. The pitiful series before the half that gave ball to UNC was not good. Then refusing to kick either passed up opportunities for points or gave UNC great field position. This was a poorly coached game.
 
Yes CPJ knocked the ball out of JTs hand for a fumble and told Jabari to get a 15 yard penalty. He called some stupid plays but this on the players play too.
 
I didn't like the calls, but sometimes when the players aren't executing, the coach presses too, getting overly aggressive to make up for it. It's bad from bottom to top right now.

We've always been predictable. It's just that in the past, we've executed correctly and they haven't been able to stop us even if we run the same play five times in a row (which I'm pretty sure we've done before.)
 
Yeah, predictability isn't the problem. It's a lack of execution. We look a lot like we looked during Vad's year.

Yeah I see your point there.
 
It's a complete lack of winning individual battles

No one is getting it done. Not one person.
 
Worst team under Paul. No excuse for 21-0 and not scoring to open the 4th quarter with 2 chances from the 1.
 
As much as I didn't like the play calling at the end of the first half, not hurrying up and spiking the ball on the last possession was unfathomable. Sure, it's a low percentage opportunity. But that took it from low to subterranean.

If you can't get a foot going behind Burden, Devine and Joe, you're doing something wrong. On that fourth down stop, JT did too much dancing behind the line. He needed to be more Byerly-like and just go.

A lot of mistakes in a lot of areas. And I wonder just how much PJ's play calling is affected now by having a bunch of guys out there at the skill positions - receiver, A back and B back - this year who weren't even on the team a year ago or really just haven't played before.

All right, time to watch Jeopardy and ND-Clemson. Don't want to do anymore handwringing over this.
 
Realizing that, once again, GT has failed to capitalize on the gains made from a previous very successful season. I expected a drop off from 2014, but this is worse that going from 11-0-1 in '90 to 8-5 in '91.

Realizing that GT cannot lose all of the talent that was lost after last season and expect to pick up where it left off the season before.

There should be no excuses for losing to Duke and UNC in consecutive years, but it just happened.

Realizing it will be a struggle to finish 6-6. And finally, realizing I'm headed to Clemson next weekend, hoping I don't see a repeat from 2013 when we were blown away early and never really in the game.

The life of a Tech fan -it is what it is.
 
On 4th and 1, you need less than a 3/7 chance to make it. Really ~2/7 since UNC got worse field position on 1 than what they would have gotten on a kickoff.

4th and 5 is more questionable. CPJ would have usually punted, but we probably needed to score every time to win.

Appears we no longer have a punt game.

You got a 240lb Bback but try to run your small QB twice. CPJ officially on the öööö list now

On the 4th and 5, it didn't really matter if the punt was just going to be a touchback or pin them inside the 5. We were behind and had to get the ball back if we punted. Paul's thinking was our chances of converting and then scoring were better than the defense stopping them and the offense then having to score anyway.

I really try not to disagree with ibeeballin, but Paul's thinking was probably to have that 240 lb BB as an extra blocker rather than as a runner with one less blocker. I really needed Byerly on that play.

Is it better to be good one year and bad the next or to be perpetually mediocre like UNC?

Choose to win big. But we don't have to choose. There are still 7-9 games to go.

This team cracked when UNC got to 14 before the half. Last year, they shrugged off MSU getting to 20 at the half. We need the team leaders to lead, not just do their personal best.

I said yesterday during the game that we seem to let mistakes and bad luck bother us more as a team than last year. I have a feeling that outside of experience at their positions this is a spot where we really miss Shaq, Laskey, and Synjyn.
