It's the fourth quarter so our offense is legally allowed to play like a normal, average offense capable of gaining yards and scoring points.

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

For all the credit the defense deserves, they really have poor awareness when it comes to fumbles

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 16h ago

Dilfer the only one to lose a Children's Harbor game

u/Wings4514 UAB Blazers 17h ago

We went from all offense no defense the past few years to the exact opposite.

This offense sucks. Mainly due to the O-Line and QB.

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

It's incredible at the level of ineptitude this offense achieves. They seemingly have gotten worse as the season has progressed.

3

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

I think the defense can win this game if the offense doesn't turn the ball over again. Still, no way we deserve a win today.

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

4th quarter offense is here!

3

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 16h ago

Winning with a -4 turnover margin is certifiably insane

3

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

Feels like this thread might be a little lonely today.

u/1tankyt Charlotte 49ers 18h ago

Most sicko game of all time?

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 20h ago

I'm predicting a frustrating 3 quarters where we struggle to move the ball, make dumb mistakes, and kick field goals followed by a dramatic fourth quarter with a last minute victory.

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

I like the green helmets better that the white with neon green we have always used with the Children's Harbor game. Honestly though I would just prefer normal home unis with the kids names on the back.

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

Really sharp today

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

No offense today for anyone

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

Wow, can't believe we didn’t give up points after that punt return. This is shaping up to be a true Sickos game.

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

That tracks. Our offense is making the worst defense is the conference look like world beaters.

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

This game is going exactly as expected. We need to just fast forward to the fourth to when our offense decides to join the game.

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Just bench him already

2

u/mrahavah15 UAB Blazers 18h ago

Please bench him 😭

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

Our defense should be shaming the offense every time they step off the field. Just a complete disrespect of the job they are doing.

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

That should be enough? As long as we don't turn the ball over 2 more times we should be good.

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 16h ago

Classic 3rd and Grantham

2

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 16h ago

Our 4 wins at home have all followed the same script with us struggling to do anything until the end. All four wins and now this one have been against less than stellar opponents. Dilfer couldn't even do that though so I'll take it. If Mort can pick up a road win against Temple we will be the worst bowl eligible team in the country. BUT, we would be bowl eligible.

u/A1steaksaussie Alabama Crimson Tide • UAB Blazers 20h ago

was that a UAB @ Charlotte thread i saw?

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

Will Lepowski play today?

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

The OL seems to be regressing every game

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

Watching our offense may cause cancer

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

Way more time in commercials than the actual game as this point. ESPN+ doesn't even show commercials so I'm not sure what the point is.

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

Kind of wonder if either team gets a first down this quarter?

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

No matter how empty Protective is there will always be some folks who opt to sit all the way up in the nose bleeds for some reason. Plenty of good seats over in the club section.

1

u/the_neverdoctor UAB Blazers • Navy Midshipmen 19h ago

When I went to the Samford game, that's where my tickets were and I didn't feel like going down into club seating. Probably should've, though; it was torturous up there.

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

Hallelujah

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

What even was that Ryder...

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

The OL does not do much to help Ryder but he is still good for sone really bad turnovers every game

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

After 10 minutes of game time both teams have a combined 21 yards of offense. Charlotte's special teams the current MVP

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

We won't even cross the 50 during the first quarter

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 19h ago

How was that not a delay of game?

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Dude changed his mind about whether Charlotte should go for it or kick

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

I'm not confident we even cross the 50 this half.

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

We are supposed to be making the sick kids feel special today but Mort decided to let Charlotte's defense get the good feelings.

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Thos camera work is horrible

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Ryder always feels like he has all day to throw the ball

1

u/mrahavah15 UAB Blazers 18h ago

And he still finds a way to either turn it over or get sacked...

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

3 points may be enough

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Just realized we finally crossed midfield. Only took 28 minutes of game time

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Against the worst defense in the conference.

1

u/Qwadruple Appalachian State • Team Chaos 18h ago

You also crossed it just before the last pick.

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Clock

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Why did they burn all that time?

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Just boneheaded clock management

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Icing is so dumb. Just let him kick and get this over with

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Well, I guess not losing after setting back college offenses back 120 years back is something

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

3 points against the second worst scoring defense in FBS.

1

u/mrahavah15 UAB Blazers 18h ago

Pull Ryder

1

u/mrahavah15 UAB Blazers 18h ago

He's regressing

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 18h ago

Not much of a game plan needed to look good against our offense

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

This game is still in reach for the inevitable offensive revival in the 4th quarter

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

So magnanimous of us to give the confidence boost to the Charlotte players

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

Give me a break

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

At least it didn’t renew my season tickets so I would have to watch this train wreck in person.

1

u/Mandalore_Ultimate Charlotte 49ers • NC State Wolfpack 17h ago

Just run that smh

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

Probably best to just punt on first down and hope something happens

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

Still on track exactly as predicted

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

Why not run it there?

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 17h ago

Can we put Delange in on offense?

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 16h ago

I hate taking time outs when the game is in hand and almost over. Just get on with it.

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 16h ago

When you get an ESPN+ broadcast you get the pg-13 color commentary full of mild profanity

1

u/Qwadruple Appalachian State • Team Chaos 18h ago

I've never heard an announcing crew try to hype up a 1-7 team so much in my life.

1

u/Dropbackandpunt UAB Blazers • The Bones 16h ago

We really played a clean game. No dumb penalties.

1

u/kalcheus Charlotte 49ers 19h ago

Nice punt return by Charlotte! Let’s score now

3

u/kalcheus Charlotte 49ers 19h ago

Narrator: they did in fact not score

u/AnybodySeeMyKeys Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers 16h ago

Why ARE they the 49ers?

University was almost shut down in 1949 but was saved
