Relax... Take it easy

You just witnessed a 20 million dollar roster throat punch a 50 million dollar roster and physically assaulted them. All it took was one amazing defensive play to be wiped out by a roughing the passer call.

You got a banged up QB, 2 RB, #1 WR, DT along with the two starting CB that were already missing.

You got an OL that took up roller skating in the 2nd half and almost got their QB murdered.

You got a coach that has been around the block long enough to know there would be a 10 second run off and wasted valuable seconds before half and had to kick a FG vs at least trying to get one quick play in. Let alone they wasted time prior to that.

Now you got people parading a team that got taken the distance a week ago by a horrible Purdue team as being better than what they are. Yeah they won 9 games a year ago because, outside of Miami, they are keeping on the same level as the other dookie teams in this conference because these other teams aren’t spending any cash either.

With a schedule like we have and a conference that we play in. Every week for 4 qtrs you better be on your game and making a statement game. One F’ck up, one loss, and it’s going to be another nail biter trying to get back in the CFP.

We don’t play UVA
We don’t play SMU
We don’t play Louisville

So we can easily FAFO like we did last season and miss the ACCCG.

We can be sitting here hoping and praying that we can somehow get in again. Style points matter and everyone is watching us.

Make no mistake, everyone is hoping for us to slip up. People outside this board already think we’re going to drop a game or two just like we have these past 2 years and this time we can find ourselves once again in the f’cktard bowl like we did with Cam because of a horrible defense that can’t cover or tackle.

Get some sleep. Enjoy tomorrow's slate.

Extra day of rest for the team. Central Michigan next at home gives an opportunity for some extended rest.

Team and staff will be better than fine when it matters.

Agreed. Men acting while having emotional damage is a recipe for a poRster material of the year lmao. Enjoy the W gentlemen. These games are not gimme’s. Good job by WF coaching staff for making adjustments, and bad job by us missing plays and playing conservative.

1. Run blocking is nowhere near good enough. Against Stanford it was worrisome but game 1. It was not great last week against FAMU. Run game was good, but they didn’t dominate like they should. Now it’s a real problem. The tackles have been ok. Not good enough but ok. Same with Rodriguez. Buchanan could be replaced (although one of their better pass protectors thus far. Even tho nobody has been very good in that either), and SJ has been dreadful. Who the **** said Cantwell and Congdon would start??? Clearly they’re not ready. Congdon has been literally unplayable. I really thought Cantwell might get in at OG in the second half. This line cannot push against Stanford, wake, and really not well enough against FAMU. Have to figure it out before really good teams.

Never start a season without knowing who the 5 across your OL are going to be. You play musical chairs; you play with uncertainty and a lack of confidence across the 5.

This is definitely a manic fandom…the pendulum swings from one extreme to the other - no middle ground exists. Yes, there are problems. First two cupcakes never tested this team. WF was the first one to test this team. Short of missing or injured pieces, I fully trust the coaching staff will fix this. I look forward to a fine season.

I fully admit that’s me. Just seems some of the issues are so glaring obvious (IOL, starting LB) that it enrages me when the coaches fail to address it.

I admit, I have to be better
 
Couple of things reared up from the past last night that caught my attention.

Mario with a couple of weird decisions with penalties and timeouts.
Dawson not calling a full game, not sure what happened at halftime.

Then there’s the OL -
They are getting our RB’s and QB killed.
Midget man and Mario need to get their head out of their *** and get this fixed, **** we have like 18 OL on the team.

Clemson at home is going to throw the house at us like Wake did. Still think we can win even if Fletcher and Marty are out. Hope Jordan can play though.

VaTech got off their nuts finally like we did. They are going to improve a ton under the Coaching staff. They just might be our 2 toughest game this season.

We must heal up.

As someone who watched the vast majority of the Clemson & ga southern game, I’m not sure they’ll have a house to throw at us lol.

Tait doesn’t even have a touchdown yet! They had to settle for five field goals against GA Southern; and they’ve yet to score in the 3rd quarter so far. They had ten penalties for a hundred yards last week.

Against LSU, Louisiana tech had negative 4 rushing yards on 31 attempts compared to Clemson having 40 rushing yards on 26 carries; LA Tech still managed to gain forty more passing yards. LSU had about a hundred more yards on Clemson than they did on LA Tech

Wake forest’s top wr caught more passes from cam Ward (24) than Elijah lofton + fletcher combined (19). Their qb is in his third season with Rob Ezell as OC. Clemson’s quarterback is in his third game of the last two years this weekend; because he missed his whole senior season with an injury.

Clemson is bleeding out in front of our faces
