Yea, so.. probably time to pump the brakes a little

We have a very talented and deeply flawed team. The score is what it was but we came very close to ******** the pooch tonight. My hope is it was just one of *those* games like BC 2001. Not panicking but that was such a rancid half of football you can't help but wonder if it's time to reset expectations, particularly with the injuries piling up. We'll see.

Mostly Yes.

It will help if you cut sentences. Moving on.

Yeah. With the mounting injuries. Our O line has issues. Our D line is not A+. Meaning not NC level. We are sledding. I watched that Texas and Bucknuts game. Both teams are far more complete. And then LSU and Bulldogs playing full.

We need to heal up, and get hungry. Otherwise the top of the ACC and them Dommers will eat us alive.

That's the truth so far.

You’re never as good as you think or as bad.

This teamed has flaws at important positions. We can only hope that tonight was more of an anomaly than the norm for the season

 

[E1k]

Replacing that much in the trenches was never going to be easy. We still should win the acc and make the playoffs, long season ahead

 

[jupo2001]

That’s why I always say, if our boys can stay healthy they will be fine. This is definitely a grave concern considering there is only one bye this season. We had about four starters get hurt last night on top of what was already out….Sheesh…

No your top players were injured. UM still dominated that game. When you are forced to play this many young players there will be some inconsistency with blown assignments.

 

[Mnhurricane]

LBs and nickel have 0 ability to cover.

65 can’t and some snaps appears won’t block.

10 straight screens into press sure helps.

These are not injury or assignment issues they are skill or IQ issues.
We can’t always rely on brute force or pure talent to win. Coaches need to show up sometimes as well. Especially when we do have a slew of injuries to cover up

 

[DoctorKrazey]

It’s was 31-7 before the team lost their edge. This isn’t like the 80’s where really good teams steamroll everyone by 40. If you don’t keep your intensity, play with focus, or the coaching staff gets conservative you CAN get beat. That being said, the injuries are starting to become a problem too. If you think about it we actually got pretty lucky last year with the injury bug for the most part. Even if our trenches aren’t as good as last year with Mensah at QB this team should still win the ACC and make the playoff.

Said it all last week when everyone kept talking playoffs instead of game by game.
