[u/DarthNobody14]

Pitt really lost to Bill Belichick and Bill O Brian in back to back weeks

[u/Confident_Delay5805 → u/DarthNobody14]

They don’t like people named Bill

[u/OnionFutureWolfGang → u/Confident_Delay5805]

Specifically guys named Bill who were once NFL head coaches with GM responsibilities. Someone needs to hire Bill Parcells.

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/DarthNobody14]

Miami gonna lose by 30 next week

[u/TheVaniloquence → u/DarthNobody14]

They’re lucky Matt Patricia and Joe Judge aren’t HC anywhere

[u/dietmrfizz]

Happy for the boys!

Billy OB prob only needs 1-2 more wins to save his job

[u/SquirtleSpaceProgram → u/dietmrfizz]

Played hard down the stretch and didn't blow it...

Against a good team...

Are we sure this was a BC game?

[u/dafdiego777 → u/SquirtleSpaceProgram]

We did throw a totally unnecessary interception with two mins left so definitely.

[u/Breaddittor → u/dietmrfizz]

I know BOB isn't looked fondly upon by the BC fanbase, but BC's been moderately competitive (better than I thought) in ACC play so far. I think it's been an relatively impressive season for them considering the reporting that BC spends far and away the least money in the P4.

[u/Rooleet → u/Breaddittor]

It's been better this year but the team quitting in October last year after looking wildly undisciplined was a terrible look. 

It's one thing to lack funding (although the extent of that report was disputed by insiders), but the entire point of getting BoB would be that they could make up some of the difference with good coaching. 

[u/dietmrfizz → u/Breaddittor]

I mean 4-5 wins is not a lot

[u/Breaddittor → u/dietmrfizz]

I didn't think they were gonna win an ACC game this year to be honest looking at the roster before the season. I was pretty surprised they beat Rutgers even after Rutgers lost to UMass.

[u/somebodysbuddy → u/Breaddittor]

You forgot the Red Bandana boost, I was more surprised they won close.

[u/Rooleet → u/dietmrfizz]

Imagine the universe we fired Hafley when we should have instead of letting him walk on his own terms and we get Chesney that cycle...

[u/MeeseShoop → u/dietmrfizz]

😒 please save us from BOB purgatory

[u/smellslikelowtide → u/MeeseShoop]

Say what you will about BOB, but that early timeout to get in the defense’s face changed the game

[u/Or1g1nalrepr0duct10n → u/dietmrfizz]

Might not even need that if the program wants to save on termination payments.

[u/Maximiliansrh]

I can’t believe we lost to this guy

[u/bonzaijoe → u/Maximiliansrh]

You didn’t, you lost to the guy who got benched for this guy lol

[u/Maximiliansrh → u/bonzaijoe]

Omg that’s even worse

[u/SiccSemperTyrannis → u/Maximiliansrh]

The last 2 losses have just been soul killing late fumbles

[u/Interesting-Lemon318 → u/Maximiliansrh]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/MeeseShoop]

The ACC circle of suck will be glorious this season.

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192 → u/MeeseShoop]

Still waiting for Cal to decide they’re going to mess up the post season again by inexplicably winning games to throw a wrench in everyone’s plans

Watch Cal go 8-1 now just to screw with everybody

[u/MeeseShoop → u/Difficult-Froyo1192]

I really want Wake to win tonight, but those late night California game times are flukey.

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man → u/Difficult-Froyo1192]

Hey hey, take that shit OUT when we have a 10:30 local Time game against the chaos gods

[u/LabOk6108 → u/Difficult-Froyo1192]

and the one will be some ridiculous team like stanford

[u/Inside-Drink-1311]

I’ll give them the excuse of them not having their QB but still a game they should have won. It’s the classic Narduzzi special.

[u/Halvey15 → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

There’s really no excuse for losing these last two games. The QB wasn’t the biggest issue in either game.

[u/bonzaijoe → u/Halvey15]

I agree with you, however both games we had opportunities for late game winning drives that were stifled by terrible throws

[u/realclean → u/Halvey15]

What game were you watching lol? We had 3 completed passes in the whole first half. After a 75 yard pass on the very first play, our QB went 10/24 with 118 yards and 2 interceptions.

I'd like our D to be better, but I'm not exaggerating when I say that we have the worst passing game in P4, maybe all of FBS right now

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

Nah you can’t excuse this one. UNC yes, today no. Narduzzi and the defense blew it plain and simple.

[u/bonzaijoe]

Thank god we’re not gonna make a bowl game, I don’t want to watch either of these backup quarterbacks an extra time

[u/DiplomaticAggie]

Pitt, the Texas A&M of the North they say

[u/lil_geesey → u/DiplomaticAggie]

Pitt, NC State, and Texas A&M all show up to the same family reunion

[u/ClaudeLemieux → u/lil_geesey]

Hey at least we can beat UNC ^{ignore this year}

[u/OldMillennialNewDad → u/DiplomaticAggie]

Could switch Narduzzi and Elko and no one would notice the difference

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/DiplomaticAggie]

The iPhone of Appalachia

[u/Igneous39]

YOURE LOCKED IN HERE WITH US

[u/Zloggt]

Pitt’s starter goes down - and with him, the team’s season…

[u/newme02 → u/Zloggt]

pitt fans knew this. the moment that play happened the season ended

[u/jt92]

Bench the QBs. Fire the coaches. Fire the refs. Burn the film.

[u/StFuzzySlippers → u/jt92]

They're benching the dogs! They're benching the cats!

[u/LightningDusty]

Wasn't the Pitt coach talking shit about voters overlooking his team a couple of weeks ago?

[u/Mrludy85 → u/LightningDusty]

I think Pitt fans would be the first to Dunk on Narduzzi so you guys gotta get in line.

[u/Toothlessdovahkin → u/LightningDusty]

Narduzzi is an idiot

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/Toothlessdovahkin]

100% Pitt fans will agree to this. His words are meaningless

[u/royalbluehen → u/LightningDusty]

Yeah the game which we were 5-0 then lost our starting qb and starting rb.

[u/LightningDusty → u/royalbluehen]

I guess that excuses losing to Boston College. 😂

[u/royalbluehen → u/LightningDusty]

There is no excuse for losing to Boston College. Being 5-0 and winning a huge emotional game is probably gonna make most coaches cut a promo about being ranked though.

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/LightningDusty]

Losing our QB1 has certainly affected this team, believe it or not.

[u/Tommy05Sox → u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

And a true freshman today. Definitely could've made the ACC title game without the injury.

[u/SecretAsianMan42069 → u/Tommy05Sox]

7-5 makes the ACC title game, historically 

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/Tommy05Sox]

We’re most likely 7-0 and top 15 heading to Miami next week with Mason, but that’s life.

[u/LightningDusty → u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

We didn't have our QB1 today and beat Texas. 🤷‍♂️

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/LightningDusty]

Florida has a way better coach and far more talent than Pitt, I can admit that.

[u/Throwawayerrydayyy → u/LightningDusty]

Yes but did Pitt get the advantage of playing garbage arch?

[u/gatorbois → u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

But Pitt fans also said it wouldn’t impact the team lol

[u/ScruffythePanther → u/gatorbois]

Exactly who said this?

[u/royalbluehen → u/ScruffythePanther]

Nobody. This is Florida man just making shit up

[u/Mrludy85 → u/gatorbois]

Where did you see that? I'm pretty sure every pitt knew our season went up in flames the minute he was out.

[u/gatorbois → u/Mrludy85]

After the VT game I think on some ranking thread. We also have a lot of dumb fans running around here though

[u/Ok_Requirement_8133 → u/LightningDusty]

This has happened like every year the past few years

[u/RevengeOfTheMothman → u/LightningDusty]

I’m not saying this to be salty or anything but any down year for Penn State seems to lead to Pitt becoming over confident. I don’t know why but it just always feels that way 

[u/Enrickel → u/RevengeOfTheMothman]

Narduzzi is always overconfident. You just might be more sensitive to it when your team is down.

[u/MeeseShoop → u/LightningDusty]

I mean they probably win the last 2 games if their starting QB didn’t go down.

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

Greene needs to force a Narduzzi retirement. This is so fucking pathetic. Year 12 and our defense is getting absolutely torched by a running QB through the air AND we get hit for 113 yards on 13 penalties. Fuck you, that’s a joke. I’m not putting any blame at all on a 3rd string true freshman making his first start ever on the road.

[u/DeathsFavoriteHuman]

We actually won?

[u/mynewname1]

If we held on against VT this season would feel very different.

[u/Rich_Fly3112 → u/mynewname1]

Could be sitting 5-1 right now, that one hurts.

[u/nbingham196]

Pitt super weapon ready for next week

[u/chmcgrath1988]

BC wins a one possession game? In this economy?

Only downside is now they might run it back with BOB again!

[u/CB3B]

We are now undefeated since Father Jack was officially inaugurated as President. It really was Leahy’s fault all along.

[u/pilluwed]

Eat shit Pitt

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/pilluwed]

I think our backups could still score on your defense. But enjoy your victory lap when we both miss a bowl game lol

[u/Havins → u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

Central Catholic’s JV squad could score against our defense.

[u/Confident_Delay5805 → u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

You aren’t missing a bowl game when you’re playing Georgia Tech and Florida State

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/Confident_Delay5805]

Dude we just lost to BC. Our season is over.

[u/Confident_Delay5805 → u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

Shit, I checked your schedule and you play Miami, Louisville, and a long trip to Cal. Well, there’s always next year…

[u/RVABMWguy → u/[deleted]]

That would be you.

[u/pittpanthers95 → u/pilluwed]

Why don’t you go celebrate your trash ass team finally winning a conference game

[u/heelxtiger]

There goes our quality win

[u/Fireproof-Matches]

I am glad I never have to see my team lose to Boston College. Seems demoralizing

[u/EgregiousPhilbin6]

I think Pitt fans in the game thread were being overly whiny about the officiating but it is hilarious that the ref had the world's strongest Boston accent

[u/RevengeOfTheMothman → u/EgregiousPhilbin6]

Deez fuckin’ Pantha’s are committin wicked penalties ova here 

[u/royalbluehen → u/EgregiousPhilbin6]

Yeah what was the acc thinking with that? Certainly Pitt dbs play handsy, but a guy straight from southie throwing 100+ yards of penalties on Pitt is a bad look

[u/MeeseShoop → u/royalbluehen]

Are you really suggesting they should assign refs based on where they are born lmfao

[u/royalbluehen → u/MeeseShoop]

Did I say that?

[u/MeeseShoop → u/royalbluehen]

You heavily implied it.

[u/royalbluehen → u/MeeseShoop]

You understand that we live in a low trust society and people are looking for every excuse to say there is a conspiracy right? Why give people something to bitch about when you can easily avoid it?

[u/fansofomar]

You have just finished the PAT NARDUZZI EXPERIENCE

[u/sarmsgoblinslayer]

Idk why but getting similar vibes to 2024 when Pitt was hot and had a ton of momentum at 7-0. then they lost 6 straight games

[u/Glass_Apricot → u/sarmsgoblinslayer]

Same story as always with Pitt, mid season QB injury three years in a row.

[u/No_Butterscotch8726 → u/Glass_Apricot]

Narduzzi needs to invest in his offensive line.

[u/Strang404 → u/No_Butterscotch8726]

Lost our starter on a QB scramble against VT but I still Agree

[u/No_Butterscotch8726 → u/Strang404]

A good OL even protects in that situation.

[u/Ironman2131 → u/No_Butterscotch8726]

Or an experienced backup QB

[u/Confident_Delay5805 → u/sarmsgoblinslayer]

I can name about 5 other Mid season collapses for Pitt. It’s the Nard special

[u/GeospatialMAD → u/Confident_Delay5805]

They've been kicked in the Nards a lot

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/sarmsgoblinslayer]

You don’t know why? Lol take a wild guess

[u/SMUHypeMachine → u/sarmsgoblinslayer]

Didn’t their QB get hurt during our game? I could be misremembering but I swear he was out for the season after it.

[u/FracturedKnuckles]

Fuck this team, I’ve given up

[u/LimitComplex1195]

ROLL EAGS

[u/fhqwhgads_football]

Welp.

[u/Conn3er]

Woah this was actually a big upset

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/Conn3er]

Well…. You know what no they can have it.

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

The Narduzzi choke continues

[u/AriDreams]

I don't know what to expect out of the ACC anymore.

[u/HireButchJones]

So disappointing... Pitt looked like Natty contenders with Mason Heintschel

Yinz hype train Sept 5th, 2026 - Oct 2nd 2026. RIP.

[u/Boysenberry-Secret-1]

What does Narduzzi have to say now?

[u/DankBlazer99]

Eat shit pitt

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Losing Mason was the downfall of Pitt and now they are out of the ACC championship race

[u/Cooked_Brisket]

A good omen for Catholic schools today

[u/rockyonthetrack]

Bill o b still got it

[u/MrSCR23]

Pitt gonna Pitt

[u/pittpanthers95]

Just pathetic. The hot start followed by going ice fucking cold. Next up is Miami and I have no confidence in that game.

[u/GuhdNahtBahd → u/pittpanthers95]

What’s pathetic about losing your stud QB to injury?

[u/Adidas_Tracksuit → u/GuhdNahtBahd]

What's pathetic is having a great run defense and run game to supposedly fall back on to maybe salvage the season just not show up

[u/StreamingBackwards → u/pittpanthers95]

It’s all part of the plan. We now have Miami right where we want them #teamchaos

[u/Snark728 → u/StreamingBackwards]

I really hope it happens.

[u/Mrludy85 → u/pittpanthers95]

Honestly I think our chances of beating Miami sky rocketed. It wouldn't be a classic Pitt season unless we randomly beat a good team out of nowhere after making it look like we eat crayons the rest of the season.

[u/Mrludy85 → u/[deleted]]

It's okay I'm numb regardless of what happens the rest of the season.

[u/Jonjon428]

Big win for BOB

[u/DougFlutiesMullet]

Pitt: when you lose to BC, you got some explainin to do. NB: I love the unis, good job...

[u/TPCC159]

Good shit BOB

[u/seanxfitbjj]

Eat shit Pitt.

[u/nevermindthatyoudope]

BC is simultaneously better than r/cfb thinks they are and worse than they should be. They're really befuddling to watch.

[u/ctwinters15]

My sweet Mason, I miss you dearly

[u/Interesting-Lemon318]

Type of loss that makes you question the entire team

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

Holy shit Pitt! 

[u/solomonrooney]

I thought narduzzi said this was a top 25 team.

[u/Interesting-Lemon318 → u/solomonrooney]

We lost our starting QB for the season

[u/WhaleQuail2 → u/solomonrooney]

He said they deserved to be ranked top 25. He wisely made no promise of future performance

[u/tripdawg15]

Replace Boston College with refs and the title would be correct
