I disagree.
I took it as them having higher expectations of us (which we want and which they should) and being disappointed in our offense for letting our team down...which it absolutely did. We're No. 8 and they were viewing our play through that lens. If we had a losing record and were an afterthought, do you really think they'd be "out to get us" then? It comes with the territory of being No. 8, one of only a few remaining undefeated teams, etc. Not to mention the context of the first playoff rankings coming out this week. It's evaluation time.
In fact, I pretty much agreed with everything they said, if not at least the general sentiment. I'm not gonna sit here and get mad at someone for saying exactly what I'm thinking about my own team.
X2. Well said. What did you guys expect them to say? What, that we are playing lights out. That we’re playing like a No.8 team? We stunk out there. Before the game, who thought this was going to be a cake walk, if did not prepare for a spoiler game. If you did, you live in a parallel universe. I’m glad they called it as they saw it. They agreed, we are winning, but they repeatedly said, if this performance rears its ugly head at VT or ND, we end up in plankton bowl. Truth hurts, and unless you acknowledge it you ain’t making progress.
