    I'll hate myself for saying this but this game reminded me of the season opener against NC State at home in August 1999. Special teams play was abysmal and the rest of the team fell in line. Defense and Offense played well enough to win today but jeez big plays and a blocked field goal.

    As a bonus at least tickets will be cheap to the City of Angels.

    Same for me. No need to panic yet.

    In 1999 they got most of the fluky plays going their way. In 2017 we had most of the fluky plays go our way.

    Three of our TD's came from fluke plays, one TD was in garbage time. Maryland imposed their will upon us. Do you really believe the D and O played well enough to win today? :facepalm:

    Manny Acho seems to think so but I'm not sure what game he watched. Giving up a 3 play 70+ yard in about a minute and all the offensive penalties and sacks? They sucked all around.

    No we didn't and no we don't (apparently).

    Offense and Defense played well enough to win? Not the game I saw. Only unit that I'd give a passing grade were WR. Thouroughly uninspired, pathetic effort.

    I thought Shane played pretty well considering the pass blocking. The interception was as good as a punt. At least that's was always taught. If there's nothing there, throw it as far as you can, it's as good as a punt. The only bad decision was not dumping it off to Kyle and taking the sack on the 2.

    And Petros made me sick. Carter having a great game. How stupid. I bet if no one touches me I can get some sacks too. Same thing with Holton. He had a decent game, but the TD's were absolute gifts.

    Another bright light is the fact that Mark May is not on the air sitting next to Mack for tonight's epic game (by the way I'm an FSU fan as I was born in Tallahassee and my Dad got his BA, MA and Ph.D. there).

    The only bright side is if you got so hammered in the first half that you missed the second half

    Collin Johnson looked pretty damn good.

    Guys, two options
    1. Pause dvr and tune in Craig Way. If the tv is too fast.
    2. Get "radioinsync" app and but their lil splitter if you need to delay the radio feed as it might be too fast.

    I'm sure Papadokolus is a great guy, but I am happy to report I heard not one syllable if his commentary.

    He didn't bother me. The announcing didn't bother me. Our crap coaching and play overall bothered me.

    I hear you, I've been waiting for this year like no other, Hill pick 6, I'm on fire. Then I looked like desputy dog for three hours.

    I still have good feelings for the future
