Gameday!!!

[WVAPPeer]

And I find it quite hypocritical that a couple of the same people complain constantly about how the coaches can't recruit and are not getting the job done --- while just in the last weeks have praised our Freshman QB and our Freshman RB and our RS Freshman WR ---

Just @ me next time. Skill positions are not where games are won.

That might be the most ignorant statement I have read in some time

Well then you have no idea what you’re talking about. Games are won and lost in the trenches.

Actually I do know what I am talking about - give me the names of teams who have made championship runs who didn't have a top flight QB, top flight RB and at least one top flight WR - You won't find one --- Hell, the Bengals made it to the Super Bowl with the worst offensive line in the NFL

I don’t get the “no heart” posts. Nothing I have seen shows me that players have a lack of drive, grit, or heart.

When the knives are out no one is safe.

Alabama won a couple with QBs that were probably in the lower half of the SEC, but they always had 21 other NFL-caliber players, so not really an accurate comparison.

It’s a team game, it takes the whole to win. Sometimes some positions are perhaps more important in certain games, but as we’ve seen, if the oline struggles, it doesn’t really matter who is behind center. Cam Newton was a great NFL QB, but the Panthers oline was a sieve and he got killed every game.

So true. Had the players gave up and not had heart then the final would have been more like 49-14 or 49-17 or so. They fought back hard.

[Seattleapp]

To me, it's pathetic that we have a couple on here who were happy we lost so they could continue their crusade against stupid coaches and players who don't have any heart -

Nobody is happy we lost. Give it up

It’s a fine line you and a couple others are walking between being upset we lost and being able to proclaim I told you so regarding your position about the coaching staff. There is a ridiculous amount of chest thumping after this loss. Many on here see the deficiencies, but the pointless App is in the garbage, the coaches suck, the players have no heart posts border on perverse glee. While I was incredible disappointed last night, I wasn’t breaking my neck to proclaim how bad App was. I see the weaknesses and talking about them is completely understandable. But those aren’t the posts by and large. It’s the ignorant mob mentality that’s ruling the day. It’s a lot easier to just say fire everyone we suck when you don’t actually know anything about football.

NOBODY IS GLAD WE LOST! Get that crap out of here. I’ve never coached. Haven’t played in 50 years. ( ran out of talent)But I have watched thousands of games and listened to thousands of commentators for 70 years and I know this, we do not pass the eye test. Pretty much all the criticism on here is right on the money. I’ve now witnessed a slow decline in our product . I made the comment after the cheat game that we would finish 5-7. God I hope not but I guess I’m going to have to stick to it. At the time I was called stupid but I saw it then and I see it now. Now, all that said: if we have the talent and if our recruiting has been up to par then if I saw it why can’t coaches see it and let’s see something on the field that indicates we are at least trying to fix .

How many times are you gonna say the same thing? I love the outrage when someone pushes back on the endless we suck posts. But the folks who say we suck over and over feel they should be free to spout that message tirelessly without rebuttal and are outraged everyone isn’t falling completely in line with the negativity. You predicted 5-7 after the Carolina game? After that game you thought we’d lose six more times? Ok. If you want to talk positions and players and guys waiting in the wings based on your years of viewership i’m sure many would love to hear what you have to say. But you aren’t doing doin that. You are writing these crypic posts about long slow descents into irrelevance that read like fan fiction.

My god Chase was phenomenal except for the PIC where he got hit. He dropped dimes all night and even made huge runs. He extended plays that seemed dead. He plays his tail off.

We sat behind the players parents and directly in front of Chase’s Mom last night. It gives you a totally different perspective

She speaks highly of our program and her motto is “Chase never quits”. That was evident last night.

We had a bite to eat at same table with his grandparents in the NEZ before JMU. Had no clue who they were..we introduced ourselves and they said they had a grandson on team
Of course, my question, who is your grandson?. Very nice people..Very, very complimentary of App. St. When team came out for warm-ups, grandad had to get up to go see warm-ups. He said he could not help himself..He likes to see every second he can if his grandson..The Clemson/WF game was on behind us. It was funny seeing the grandmother talking at the TV for Clemson to win in between our conversations.

Thanks! You really told me!

If we don’t make a bowl I could see gillin pulling the trigger. Can’t sell tickets when the team is bad.

You don't fire a coach, who currently sits at 24-10. The AD will likely sit down with SC and they will have a talk about his staff perhaps. Let's not become Auburn.

How many of those 24 wins were against teams that ended up with a winning record? My guess it isn't half.

By and large the same teams that Satterfield racked up all his wins against.

That is very fair, 100%. Satt probably wouldn't have lost to Tx St. or JMU, of course he would have found a way to loose to A&M. I get that wasn't your point. But the conference is getting better, and we're not.

[appbio91]

Anyone who puts even 1% of blame for last nights loss on Chase is blind and dumb.

Agree 10000%. It’s downright EMBARRASSING to see these morons not only blaming Chase on social media, but actually tagging him in the posts. It’s disgusting.

There is a lot of things to question and even some people to blame…CHASE BRICE AIN’T ONE OF THEM. Chase gives every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears every game. Like someone said before, his arm talent is something we haven’t seen on the mountain in a while, and may not see for a while after he’s gone. I’m scared to death of how this season would have looked without Chase leading the charge.

GO APPS!!

What's even more embarrassing is some of our fans in the stands and commentary in the 1st half last night in section 306/307. Actually wished they would have went over to CCU side and sat on the empty seats where their season ticket holders sit as the seats were empty.

I think I know who you are talking about, I had to move. I did not want people thinking I was associated with the F-bombs and idiotic commentary.

Satt did lose to fcs liberty at home and a ULM team that was 3-9 I think? People forget about that because we kicked ass the last 4 or 5 games and blew out Toledo in the bowl game

[appbio91]

This game is far from over, they can't cover our guys and Chase can hit them all day long.

This is still true the day after a loss, so the obvious question is why were we constantly trying the run the ball up the gut for no gain or loss?

Of course, Satt did lose back to back to ULM and UMASS. I'm not suggesting that we are playing at the level of the best of Satt's teams. I do think we have some issues that have to be resolved and I am concerned about the path forward but I don't think we have reached the point where we fire SC because we are having a down year. First, let's see how we finish out the season (not overly optimistic) before we declare a complete disaster. I do believe next year could be a make or break year for the HC but also realize we could be breaking in a whole new backfield.

[appbio91]

Was there something our staff missed?

Yes. Evidently they missed the “stats” tab on ESPN.com that showed that Coastal has the worst pass defense in the Sun Belt and game planning to exploit that.

Bingo!! Change some of those bone headed runs up the gut for maybe 50 more yards passing and we win.

[AppStateNews]

Bingo!!

Did they also miss the blocks that gave Brice virtually no time to throw?

[appbio91]

As bad as it looked, I think there were 3 things the game turned on 1) illegal man down field call 2) putting Chase under center on what the 10 - why? 3) 4th 2 run up the middle

I will never understand why you’re so fast to defend your buddies on the coaching staff that are paid handsomely to win football games
