The first offensive series was amazing for us. How many dropped balls, sacks and missed tackles were there for Elon in the game? A bunch. Cignetti did exactly what we thought he would. Play Man and run the ball.

We got bullied by a very good football team today. Could take a lot of negatives away from this game, but we are 1-1 in the conference with a chance to bounce back strong next week. We have to re-focus and let our playmakers loose next week.
Offensively next week, we have to help our young tackles on the outside. Twice in the first half and a tight ball game, we went empty and left our tackles on an island. Took a big sack and stalled both drives thereafter.
Last bickering thing for me, scenario:
Down 21-7...short time left in 2nd quarter. Driving and 4th & 3 inside own 40 yd line...let’s just go for the dang thing. Chance to convert and ultimately keep drive alive..potentially be down 7 at half.

Linebackers have to make more tackles DB's leading in tackles is a "red-flag" Playing Wake & JMU back to back is a load, Now to the original thread poster, no one likes losing no doubt but A-Holes that come out and say blatantly "We Suck Again" with no constructive criticism are the posters that need to have a checkup from the neck-up. What a phoney- pharcical Phoenix phan you are elonpride. We do not need you as a fan.

And well, today was a big ‘ole F. We $&*# again. (I censored the word suck. Is that better?)

Right now we are 1 game behind in our schedule. We should be 3-2 and we are 2-3. We should have won the A&T game and we would be right on track. No one expected us to win the last 2 games and we knew it was a stretch to win them. Now we have the opportunity to win the next several games because we can win them. We have to play like we played against Richmond but we can win them.
Play for Each Other Hold Each Other Accountable. Coaches too. Clean up the O-Line Mistakes Hold onto the Football Finish Tackles Do Your Job on Every Play
We can beat UNH.

The BIG reality check having slept on this is very real simply the last two weeks We have had a true talent gap from our opponents. No Excuses JMU may have more 3 and 4 star Transfers and recruits than WFU. WFU is a Top 25 program and JMU could easily win a FCS Title. Elon can and will win more football games this season. The right guys on this team can make it happen. Bringing back the Citadel and UofR effort can put us over the hump. OL is a huge area that has to improve it has been trial by fire. Let's hope they can control the ball and catch us up in "TOP" a big gap. From our results Davis a 50 yd FG We can give him more shots instead of punting. Avery Jones is now a prover "Big Play" threat which will open up other aerial lanes for Davis Cheek.

I generally enjoy reading elonpride's posts and find him to usually be positive with his comments.

I generally enjoy reading elonpride's posts and find him to usually be positive with his comments. I appreciate that and I’m generally a positive about Elon. While I sincerely value the education I received, I’m looking for much more out of athletics. We’ve essentially been D1 for 2 decades and don’t have all that much to brag about. We have “flare ups” which are obviously cool, but wouldn’t it be awesome to have something that is generally sustainable long term? That’s where I’m at with football right now. My expectations under Cignetti obviously ballooned uncontrollably past what may be sustainable long term. Maybe I need to temper it a bit, as development with a school our size will be a key. But with so many great athletes that returned, I expected much more....not pretty much the same beat down of years past. I like coach Trish and his passion. I like the talent that’s there....but dang, win some big games. Win a playoff game. Win a conference championship. Bring something to this school that has never happened in the D1 era. The team has been oh so close on several occasions. Turn it around! Hang a new banner! Make history!

I believe you all are still a Top 25 team. We (JMU) are just really good this year. This may be the best JMU team ever. I wouldn't second-guess what your coaches or players are doing. Just keep supporting them and shooting for making the playoff field. Best of luck to the Phoenix. Oh, and thanks for the coach. He's a keeper, even though I am very disappointed in the WVU loss.

The smart $$$$$ says that CC will Not be at JMU after 2 seasons too many potential opportunities out there.

I think if he’s wins a national championship this year he will be at VT next year.

Could be Tennessee as well. Guy can recruit and he is the best game manager I have seen on the FCS level. Probably still one of the best game managers in all of football.
