Probably the most troubling, or damning aspect to GT's CFB record over the last 5 years (with 2014 being a HUGE exception) is that we have found ways to lose close competitive contests far more than we have "pulled them out of the fire", so to speak. I am of the mindset that if you are talented enough to be leading in Q4 ( or essentially tied), then you are talented enough to win. Well, we have ended up on the short end in these circumstances far too much for my liking. The weakest area in CPJ's resume, if you ask me, is not: recruiting, the overall record, the struggles on defense, the relationship with the press, the unbalanced nature of the offense, nor the current losing stretch, but rather, the inability to develop a culture of winning in contests that are winnable, this being over the long haul. Every team has games that they just get beat, sometimes handily, by simply better opponents that day. It happens. GT, I feel sure, has an abysmal record in competitive (close) contests over the last half decade.
So, if you ask me, have you ever seen a season like this? Well, maybe not to this degree, but yes.
