Somehow, some way, NC State is 3-0.

The Wolfpack plays great second-half defense, so credit to Elliott for the halftime adjustments.
Judging by the Wolfpack’s demeanor here, they don’t seem to have forgotten either.
Fuck all y’all. Ball don’t lie. LFG Pack.
That’s just an insane call.
Omg. Are they seriously going to consider targeting for a sack on a quarterback?! Just unreal.
Ok that’s good timeout usage, Dave. 👏
Would have been tempted to decline that hold if I was Doeren.
That is a LARGE field goal for State for a couple of reasons. I was 12.5% confident he would make that.
Hollywood is getting a little bounce-happy, which is a good way to force holding penalties. Tremendous game, but a definite teaching point.
Duke Scott is a real one.
Lost tons of respect for Wake last year in the McCall game. That was a pretty cheap hit on Bailey there, which isn’t helping the perception.
Really good teams put the hammer down here to stretch out to a two-touchdown lead on the road. Big drive here for the Pack.
Bailey way more composed in this half, trusting his line and receivers. Big development.
Yeah, it’s almost worse having a live feed into this level of replay ineptitude.
I mean. He caught that. What are we doing about the review?!
Stop the presses. They called one on Wake.
The short-yardage playcalling has been beyond brutal for State. Horrific start to the half.
CJ. Wuuuuuuut.
State’s red zone offense looks way better when the other team isn’t completely mugging multiple wideouts without a flag. Welcome to the ACC and all that.
One of my least-favorite Mets teams of all time.
Overall a rather embarrassing outing by this coaching staff. If the game is not out of hand by halftime, they need to burn the game plan and start over.
Bailey is having a poor game in a lot of ways. The good news is the Pack is somehow still in this one.
Hard to overstate how poor State’s safety play has been.
GUY NAMED BISCUIT GETS PICK-6 IN GAME FEATURING FOOD TRUCK FIRE. This is not the game we wanted, but it is the game we deserved.
Always a welcome reminder that Justin Joly is still on the roster. Important response from the Wolfpack.
Bailey escaping pristine pockets for no reason to run himself into pressure is not a recipe for coherent offense.
Understood it’s a quick turnaround but this is next-level sloppy from the Pack.
Two penalties on State before a scrimmage play is run.
Another well-prepared, fast start by a Dave Doeren team.
“He departs from this earth like an arrow. Although he has not chosen his fate, he appears to have, in his last instants of life, embraced it.” @TomJunod’s “The Falling Man” is one of the most profound pieces of journalism ever done. t.co/ZWiCAHULMn
David Stearns has squandered probably 80% of the goodwill toward him in the course of a single season. Almost every decision he’s made has been dead wrong.
The Mets have to lead the league in striking out looking on fastballs right down the middle. Unfathomable.
Yeah, I don’t know what a team meeting is supposed to accomplish at this stage of the season, Ronnie. This is who the Mets are.
That’s five hits and no runs in 13 innings against the Phils. Fire everyone.
Like, this Mets team doesn’t even look like they’re trying. Complete joke.
Getting (rightfully) booed in your home field in your first game as coach. Whew — welcome to the big leagues, Ben Johnson.
Massive mistake by the rookie offensive genius.
Huge play by the Vikes. You have to wonder if Chicago considered kicking it OOB intentionally.
Can Santos get a touchback? That might be the difference in the game.
I don’t know if Caleb ever finds the intermediate accuracy he needs to succeed big, but his toughness can never be questioned. Wow.
Oh man. Chicago is already on edge. Don’t do this, Bears.
Joe Buck is having a rough night.
The Bears are getting wrecked by the officials on their own field. Wow.
Ben Johnson wondering if he has the juice to trot Tyson Bagent out there for the next drive.
83% chance to win going into tonight’s game. 18% chance to win going into the 4th quarter. Fantasy football is so back, man.
The Bears have Rudy Baggins on tilt.
The Mets have scored 12 runs in the last 5 games, picking the absolute worst time for the July offense to reappear. Just a lost team with no true identity with everything on the line.
Nola’s getting a lot of calls that Nolan is not so far. Hope the umpire finds a consistent zone eventually.
This offense looks like it’s running on fumes. The Mets need some juice from somewhere.
Boy, this inning would be a whole mess without that peg by Mullins. The rook has to bear down.
NBC just gonna ignore Bills fans throwing a bottle at Henry in the middle of a play, huh? 👌
Just not sure Buffalo’s defensive strategy is something they’ve, like, practiced.
The Bills are lining up in the neutral zone on just about every play. Haven’t been whistled once.
Dude in my fantasy league started Justin Fields and Daniel Jones. And got 64 points. At that point, you are required to proceed directly to Vegas.
Troy now playing like the ACC made them an offer they couldn’t refuse at halftime.
The Pack looking largely unprepared for the opponent despite coming off a mini-bye is a certified Dave Doeren Special.
The sheer amount of holding by UVa that’s going uncalled is peak ACC.
State struggling to adjust on either side of the ball, but also getting a fairly insane home whistle.
The Chargers are gonna Charger the absolute hell out of this aren’t they.
The Chiefs offense is basically pick plays and asking Mahomes to pull something out of his arse. The number of times he’s able to do just that is truly insane.
Rich Eisen seems like a good dude. But as a play-by-play guy, he’s an unmitigated disaster. Yikes.
Holy crap what a freaking play by Acuna there. Not sure how Sugar got out of that jam, but that's a massive W for the Metsies.
Wow. Stanek finds a way out of trouble! Now go tack on, offense.
Just unfathomable ineptitude from veteran Mets starters over and over and over. Stunning to witness.
Peterson getting well ahead of batters and failing to put them away. Troubling.
Philly is getting away with a whole world of holding but Eberflus refusing to spy is certainly a choice.
I see NFL officiating remains as inept as always. Unreal.
I totally understand and applaud the Mets bringing up Brandon Sproat and sidelining Kodai Senga. I definitely don't understand how that strategy aligns with continuing to trot Ryan Helsley out there for repeated shellings in high-leverage situations in a pennant race.
At this point, putting Ryan Helsley in a baseball game is beyond dereliction of duty and bordering on a fireable offense. I'm only half-kidding here. Awful stuff from Mendy.
Helsley's in. Helsley's in.
The Mets can’t stop hitting. My word this is a juggernaut right now.
McLean’s got some bulldog to him. What a performance after a shaky start.
This is the July offensive approach for the Mets. Yikes.
McLean at 44 pitches through 2 innings. Gonna have to bear down and find some easy outs.
McLean’s curveball is all over the place. Good test to see if he can adapt.
That’s on the umpire and having the worst outfield arm in MLB playing left field. Let’s see how the rook responds.
McLean getting squeezed here. Gotta push through.
Was accurate
LMFAOOOO
Local media out here trying to figure out how to fill 30 hours of airtime this week without angering their UNC overlords.
The “30 for 30” equivalent on Belichick at UNC is going to be so surreal if anybody but ESPN does it.
Casual reminder that Belicheat has a record of 83-98 without Tom Brady. As you were.
There are TCU receivers running absolutely uncovered all over the field. The Frogs’ QB is having a tough go.
Stanek got the win lololol
Like that — hell yes!
Desperately need a bounce-back outing from Sugar. He’s been leaking oil lately. 🎺
Quietly a terrible game from Alonso. More runs will be needed.
Certainly may just be me, but that was way too early to remove McNeil from this game.
My liver is not built to withstand Stanek and Helsley pitching in the same game.
This one is going to be one hell of a shootout.
Devenski has been tremendous. No idea why he stays on the Syracuse train.
Have zero interest in Stanek unless he’s in to go up and in on some batters.
Also getting kind of old watching the opposition making improbable diving grabs on the regular while the Mets watch routine fly balls land in front of them and kick the ball around the infield.
We have reached the stage where the Mets are literally hoping a bunch of rookies, Tylor Megill, and prayer can rescue a tanking rotation. Not a good look for the braintrust.
Nobody hates a multi-run lead like Met starters hate a multi-run lead.
Soto bails out his teammates with a two-out grand slam. Massive moment for him, and he puts the Mets back up, 6-3.
Manaea isn’t missing many bats, man. The Mets vets continue to get shelled.
The Mets really making Morton work but still leaving a lot of opportunities out there. Torrens has them ahead, 2-1.
Morton has the whiffleball curve going. The Mets are going to have to be patient.
