Clemson Postgame thoughts...

[richard levy]

No matter what Fuentes does for the rest of his career here, he can’t make up for what he cost us.

I know everyone is a bit salty, but that is a bit harsh

 

[SURules]

If you have a bad thing to say about Garrett Shrader idk what to tell ya. Kid has a sack on him and almost backpacked our offense to a win in Death Valley.

He’s Syracuse football

Shrader is a baller and carried the O in the 1st half. Hell of a QB.

Yeah it was, I was emotional when I wrote it. Technically it’s rather true, but I regret posting it. Not my best moment.

 

[JustPherU]

Good news is we covered the 14 point spread and I won a good chunk of change, but I’d give up the cash if you told me we win the game.

 

[richard levy]

The lack of a pass catching TE and any sort of Wr help beyond Gadsen will kill this team every single time. You can't have a starting wr with 6 catches all year playing 90% of the snaps, that's Aemy or Navy level stats

Had WR help before isiah jones went down

 

[Willy75]

At this point we are better off putting another WR out there and just scheme with one less blocker and make quicker passws

Or replace him with another tight end to block or even another offensive lineman.

Man...you're really working overtime. Why not give it a rest and have a cocktail?

i don't drink

 

[dwilmont44]

Clemson adjusted and really shut down the QB runs in the 2nd half. Wish we had adjusted back.

 

[Stevenson]

He wasn’t. Safety moved up once that ball left Shraders hand. It looked that way because the camera panned in. Safety breaks up that throw to Jackson every time.

He was behind the coverage. Shrader rarely looks off first read.

 

[atlanticuse]

Not sure the accuracy comment is accurate but I may not be remembering accurately. Cooper slides and it bounces off his shoulder from what I remember. When they replayed the announcer was like oh man.

McDonough or Todd Blackledge said "he (or a receiver?) should have made that."

 

[blizz]

...and if I become Governor, I will make football illegal in New York!

 

[charleston]

McDonough or Todd Blackledge said "he (or a receiver?) should have made that."

anyone know how to access the post game press conference?

 

[Louie and Bouie]

Have to assume Tucker isn't 100%. Him not getting more touches with the lead was criminal.

I thought Mcdonough was gonna explode. Could hear him seething when he busted out the Witness Protection comment late.

 

[walsh2012]

the biggest thing is making sure this loss doesn’t get in their head and blow the rest of the season.

Is it crazy to think we could win out?

home ND
@ Pitt
Home FSU
@ Wake
@ BC

Pitt and Wake are the toughest teams and i think we’re better

 

[JeremyCuse]

Had WR help before isiah jones went down

Yes Jones was a massive loss that was under the radar

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Honestly should we not jump Wake in the polls? Look who they have played, we have had a harder schedule. Both teams lost close games to Clemson, but ours was on the road. So why should they be ranked higher?

 

[CuseLegacy]

Was his post even bad?

When you start calling other posters names...yes.

 

[samspann1]

When you start calling other posters names...yes.

There's been dozens of posts after the game with people called "morons", "stupid", etc., but those are from long-time posters, who presumably were not publicly reprimanded and banned.

 

[OrangeDW]

When you start calling other posters names...yes.

Wait…”loser’s lament” was the name calling?

That’s more a general phrase. I don’t think he was namecalling.

 

[SkyTopBus44]

I loved how we played in the first half. I did not like how we played in the second half. Too many designed QB runs that never went anywhere. But the team showed heart and grit. It is going to be a fun rest of the season. Just remember, Clemson comes to us next year

Are we sure they were qb designed runs?

 

[FloridaFan]

Calling something a “loser’s lament” isn’t even directed at anyone. It’s a phrase used to denote a mentality. Someone called people clowns in another thread. If anything that’s directly at posters here as opposed to his comment

Exactly. It’s referring to a mentality. And also “loser” when used in sports is referring to….the team that lost.

He wasn’t calling someone a “loser” in their personal life.

 

[suorange08]

Wait…”loser’s lament” was the name calling?

That’s more a general phrase. I don’t think he was namecalling.

Exactly. I took that as a general phrase too. I just had a poster call me an "assclown". That's direct.

 

[OrangeDW]

Agreed! That is namecalling. However “assclown” is a funny word, so I wouldn’t take offense to that.

 

[pokercuse08]

Clemson adjusted and really shut down the QB runs in the 2nd half. Wish we had adjusted back.

Based on what Babers said in the post-game, they didn't. They just wore Shrader down with a lot of hits and slowed him down, and SU failed to adjust.
