I get what you are saying but at the end of the game they weren't trying to do much imo, it was about running the clock out and we went conservative, that's 2 more drives we could just throw out the window if we are going to toss out other drives right? Like I said the offense didn't play that good but neither did the D. I will say this about the D though, they look to be playing more freely and running around better than what we have been seeing.
I didn't say it was a time burning drive, because they didn't burn much time, but that is what they were trying and they were conservative imo, but it honestly doesn't matter we just see it different ways, so no big deal.
I am thankful the offense scored the TD's when they did, but every scoring drive Tech had today was less than 2 minutes. Actually they were 1:35, 1:26, 1:38. Great to score TD's, but when the defense has to go back out w/ little time to rest. Depth and talent being issues, right, the quick scores are a double edge sword. The first, second, and fourth quarters the offense did a terrible job of execution. They put the defense in some tough positions and they came out smelling like roses to me. UVA did a great job between the 20's. Good for the stat book. Except the W and L one.
As for me I'm happy anytime we win.
I get what you are saying and like I've said they are deffenitly looking better, but at the same time, we should be doing this to uva who isn't very good on offense, I mean they gave us those int's on bad throws when they had guys open. My point is if you do this on a good offense they probably score more, but I also know Deffense better than the average fan (not calling you that) so since I know Deffense well it aggravates me when I see a lot of things done bad that others might not see, maybe that's a default of mine that doesn't allow me to get excited about our D at times. Imo if a few things were different on our D I believe they could have even had a better game, so I guess that's what aggravates me. It's really not me trying to bash the D, but trying to understand why we don't do other things that imo could better the D, which would help when we play better offenses
I think your missing the point, you can play bad and still win.
I said they were looking better, but imo you can play a game not very good and still win. I did say it was awful and I went a little over by saying that because it wasn't, but I just feel as if there is a lot the D could do better and it's not on the players imo. I think there is a smaller gap in our differences than what you might think. I agree they did well enough to win, but I also believe a lot was given to us and so I can't just ignore that fact, because like I said when we play better teams I think the things we didn't do well will come back to hurt us, but I'd be thrilled to be wrong. I also think a lot of my frustration isn't really at the players and how they preform but at the coaching because I don't think they are playing to the players strengths to make them the best they can be.
