I don't know about that. I prefer the fired up Coach Collins myself. Old school ripping the officiating, dissing the opposing coach, who probably deserved it. The post game presser should be one for the ages.
The holes for the Pitt RB were absolutely massive on all of his long gains.
And we got 70 on a single pass play during our 2nd drive....and almost got held to a FG from the four yard line. Yeah...stats cant hid the genius of Dave
Our offense performed as well as the average team has vs. Pitt's defense. All with a walk-on center and without our #1 RB.
6.5 I read somewhere. Don't know if that is accurate or not. They kicked four field goals. Could have been much worse.Yeah, I hit 6th gear once ... then I woke up.
...... ya know what else, the more I think about the refs the madder I get. What was the line tonight? Anybody know?
Yes, I'm serious. We should've scored that last drive. Wouldn't have changed the game but could've changed somebody's pocket......
There is zero rhyme or reason to this offense. You can color it how ever you want but they are undisciplined and poorly coached.
I posted stats around today's performance. Can you refute it with something other than opinion?
Yep...honest assessment
Amazing how you try to turn a long pass play and a touchdown into negatives somehow. Just continually choosing to live in misery and being a victim
Sims is a definite difference maker.
That's why explosive plays are important in CFB. And why we missed Gibbs last game and today. You can't hide explosives from the stats. Same reason our prior offense was better with guys who could house a run or pass.
Did you watch the game? Did you see him call pass plays short of the first down marker? Didnt he call a thirty yard pass play on 3rd and three....GTFO that I have to provide stats. I can watch the game and see he doenst know what the f he is doing.
One play doesnt make an offense...
Dude, there’s a pattern of underperformance over 2 seasons. Nobody would be frustrated if our offense was performing well and we had an average night against Pitt. Think about your implicit argument, that folks should be happy about performing just below average in points against Pitt.
So we should expect a DL that at times had 5-7 P5 offers to hold up over a season and never get gashed? I'm not writing it off solely on talent, but I literally cannot think of another ACC DL that I would choose ours over, based on who we had to run out there tonight. That means we are at a competitive disadvantage.
I definitely agree with the thoughts on OL/DL. Just didn’t want to “like” that fact. Imo Sims and all the rbs were eaten alive today.Some positive notes, since I hardly ever provide any.
- Jamious showed some really good signs at the end of being a player that will still make a difference for us (yes, not as fast as Gibbs, but fast enough and tough)
- Curry has the heart of a lion - probably one of the few players who does "overachieve" at times with his actual "God-given" talent
- I like that CGC showed some passion and anger on the sidelines - I think that is a good sign going forward
- Once again, the team kept fighting and didn't give up, even with a lot of "at best", questionable calls (I know, some were just bad)
Now, there are lots of "bad" as well, and I am sure it will be outlined (tackling, dropped passes, questionable play calling, etc.). But, I want to say something about next year. I still don't think we can turn the corner next year - just don't see our DL and OL improving enough next year. I just want to see us average less than 6 penalties a game, and less than 2 turnovers per game. I also want to see a MUCH better kicking game. If we can do at least those things and improve slightly, I think 5 wins is "par" for next year. I want to turn the corner next year like all of you and see 6-8 wins, so I hope I am wrong.
Never said it does
