Really wondering how you can have a dream team of OL and still suck in the trenches.

 

[ACamp1900]

We don’t play next week

Next game* you know what I meant

 

[sfk324]

We don’t play next week

All the more reason we are in trouble if we lose.

 

[mrmcgrail]

D line was a disappointment o line was a disappointment. Hopefully they figure it out if not we are looking at 9-3

 

[MPClinton22]

You all laughed when I said this could be 2016 all over again but here we are. Question marks on the o-line, question marks on the defense, inconsistency with the qb. I hope we can get it together because you may think I’m just being too pessimistic but a bad season is very very VERY possible. This DOES NOT look like a team that can go to the playoffs.

Is being a fan even fun for you? Genuine question not even trying to be snarky. I just don’t see how it can be

 

[rtrn2glory]

Price was effective when he was in.. Problem was they controlled the first two and a half quarters of the game and made us play catch up

 

[LifelongFan]

Site will be better when Gladiator is where he belongs, in the world's most rundown old folks home.

Rudy is scared of his shadow. Just ignore him.

 

[Rocketman84]

Why does this staff refuse to MAKE SURE the best player gets at least 15-18 touches a game. He's the RB not Charles Woodson, it's redundant at this point and you can't wait until the 2nd half to get him touches down 2 scores.

 

[LifelongFan]

I’d expect us to swap places with Miami and OSI to go to number 1. Other than than not much else changes in top 10.

LSU and Clemson swap places too and Bama falls quite a bit.

 

[bobbyok1]

For what looked like it could have been a disaster, we looked better in most phases of the game as the game progressed.

My hope is this. Freeman seems to be an incremental improver. Hopefully he works with his coaches to clean up these areas:

•Online play
•Offensive play calling (turn Carr loose early and get Love the rock more)
•D getting pressure and playing more aggressive

 

[IrishBoognish]

we lost by 3 to a very good team on the road with a 1st time QB

Our next game will tell us where were at

im really bummed too, but there were a lot of good things here.

 

[LifelongFan]

ACC is going to be good this year.

 

[irishff1014]

We shouldn’t fall that much after that. It was a close game and everyone expected it to be.

Let’s be honest just like Bama we don’t deserve to be top ten.

We lost 3 lineman and our o line protection was fucking trash.

 

[pumpdog20]

Games are won and lost in the trenches.

0 leadership on this team.

At least Carr looks like a solid QB.

How are we blaming leadership??? They came back to tie in a house of horrors for our program. Denbrock lost that game.

Kind of my thoughts. Carr looked better than Manning and Sayin. Took him some time to get warmed up but he did some really good things for his experience.

The worrisome thing to me was our defense. Terrible play calling and energy most of the game. Golden was obviously absent.

 

[MrNimbus]

Love and price combined for 16 carries. That alone makes me want to rifle my remote through the tv. Carr was asked to do too much, but did well. I'll have to rewatch when I'm not as pissed off. But my initial impression is denbrock fucking sucked tonight.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Yeah there isn’t anything yo moan about. They played a lot tougher than I expected on both sides of the ball. But we repsonded well and were in a position to tie it up. We did lose the middle 8 though. That TD at halftime sucked.

Not as much as the td after the half.

 

[Luckylucci]

Certainly have to question some of those judgements after tonight’s performance.

 

[IrishinTN]

Looks like it might be a long year. OL was dog shit and defense was lackluster. Too many new pieces (coaches and players) without a handle on things.

Carr was impressive though. Something to build on.

 

[TheRealLynch51]

It is what it is. Gameplan blew ass. Both coordinators got outcoached. Both lines got whooped. Carrs got moxie. And we still had a chance to win at the end. Of course there's a lot of improvement needed going forward, but im not ready to jump ship yet.

No it’ll be a shitty ass start and a second half that has maybe one loss in it while all hype is already gone,… because no one schedules like this very a reason. If ‘we have to bc conference,,..’ then fucking join one, and no we don’t have to, we could have opened with Miami of Ohio at home and literally no one would have blinked

 

[1219Booopa]

Love should have 25 touches every game.

 

[Bane]

Good God almighty, some of your are miserable LMAO. Take a lap. The sun will come up tomorrow. I mean, is being a fan even fun for most of you? A 3 point loss to a top 10 team on the road, you would have thought we lost at home to a middling MAC team or something (not that we would ever do that).

I think people had high expectations for the year. Many of us are revising those expectations, that's all.

 

[Canesfan:)]

Won't be seeing me around these parts anymore, unless we meet in the playoffs, but good game guys. Carr played great and didn't look rattled.

I tried to tell you all last week without being too cocky, this team rarely if ever gets pushed around. Heatherman allowed our DEs to get up field instead of stunting like last year plus the secondary played lights out.

Both teams obviously have a lot to work on though. Good luck against A&M

Omg you tried to tell us?! I should have listened

We collect fans from other programs, a few Bama fans and at least one LSU fan. Hang around, I don't think you've been a dick.

 

[Rocketman84]

Would he have called less screens?

Maybe we actually run our All-American in the 1st half
