What's More Important - Manny failing in 2020 or the Hurricanes succeeding in 2020?

[Go Canes!!]

I have gone back and forth with this guy repeatedly about this. Situational defense and the fact that we have up a fourth quarter lead four times means nothing, because our stats over the course of an entire season against some basura opponents is more important. When you bring that up, the response is well the defense was tired. Then when you bring up the opponent’s TOP in the FIU game was 30:13, UNC had the ball for 24:37, GT had the ball for 32:24 and Duke has it for 26:41, they just say well whatever man the offense could have scored more. That is not untrue, but the offense sucking *** is not mutually exclusive to the defense being overrated and key in some losses.

You keep using the term situational football. How does that term fare when factoring these second half possessions by our historically bad offense in the Duke game as an example:

3 plays 5 yards :52 seconds
6 plays 13 yards 3:59
4 plays 4 yards 1:59
3 plays 5 yards 1:26
3 plays -3 yards 1:43
3 plays -2 yards 1:26
3 plays 1 yard 1:06
6 plays 32 yards 2:23
5 plays 6 yards 1:12

Is that a defense that's coughing up a lead late or a defense thats being asked to play perfect football while gassed from being on the field literally the entire second half? This game is a microcosm of the typical game for us offensively over the last two seasons.

It's not me saying the offense just needs to score more like some kind of simpleton. Its obvious situations where our offense put the defense in nearly impossible positions to win in a vast majority of our games.

Again, the time of possession for the game was 33:19 to 26:41 IN MIAMI'S FAVOR. If they were gassed with that TOP, playing a night game, in Durham, at the end of November, then I do not know what to tell you.

No one is excusing the offense. We 100% should have scored more than 17 vs. Duke. It was abysmal, trash, a disgrace, and every similar adjective. However, that does not excuse the fact that when the defense needed to get a stop in the middle of the fourth quarter to keep it a one possession game, they gave up a 70 yard touchdown drive in 4 plays and 1:34. And this was a story that repeated itself throughout the season.

Clearly you are **** bent that this is a championship defense with a staff that needs no replacement when you have a former player and NFLer telling you otherwise. Do you really think a single other legitimate P5 program would have any one of Banda, Rumph, Patke, or Baker on their staff in those positions? Enjoy your season long stats and 6-7 record.

The whole website will be happy if Manny gets to “10 wins.” Even a lucky 10 win season like 2017. And probably praising the 5 year contract extension Manny will get.
