Or do we witness the collapse? A 5 game losing streak to end the season and no bowl game.

No bowl game would be a disaster. Apathy about this team has set in and the only thing I am beginning to become passionate about involving this football team is the question "Is Marrone our future?".

Who wouldve thought we would feel this way that glorious Sat morning after the WVU game?

The defense isnt horrible but it definately isnt good. The offense, oh my goodness, the offense. What kind of offense are we running? Honestly, this might be one of the worst offenses in college football. The QB isnt capable of making throws, the running backs are mediocre at best, the recievers cant get open, and when they do, they cant catch the laser beam fastballs Nassib throws. Our offensive line is made up of girl scouts. Our playcalling is about as exciting as watching paint dry. The plays take forever to come in.

3 games in a row, the fans have mocked the gameplan, only to be proved correct in the game.

Whether you want to say it begins with HCDM or ends with HCDM, it doesnt matter, its broken, and unfortunately, HCDM is a major part of the problem right now.

I think SU wins one of its next two. 15 days to prepare for Cincy. 8 days to prepare for Pitt. I think the team will get it done.
 
No confidence in this coaching staff anymore. They have been terrible all year. Cincy is playing for a BCS bowl I can't see SU beating them. Pitt has had our number for almost a decade now. Doesn't look good
 
I pin my hopes on the fact that when DM has time to prepare for a game, our team does well (Pinstripe, WVU). We will be big underdogs against Cinci; however, I believe this is our best chance to get the 6th win. Is this crazy? Yeah. If we lose the next game, no way we win at Pitt. I hope I am wrong but we will be going into that game with a 4 game losing streak and our team (coaches & players) has not shown the character to turn that around.
 
nope-

marrones teams cant win against bcs schools after oct-

if this year has shown us anything its that marrone cant get the job done-
the big east is so weak its almost highschool footbal-yet he cant win

I don't see us winning another game. I'm not going to say we have no shot, but at this point I would be shocked to see it.
 
We can beat either Cincy or Pittsburgh. But if we come out and run Antwon up the middle on two or three consecutive plays -- regardless of whether we get a first down or not -- the season is over.
 
If we do, it's going to be because we succesfully rammed the ball down the other team's throat, because we're not going to try anything else.
 
I think it has to be Cincy. If they lose this game then I cant see us beating Pitt after losing 4 in a row.
 
Our only real hope is if Pitt is already eliminated from bowl contention by the time we play them, and they basically don't show up for the last game.

We're not beating Cincy this year.

There was no way that this year's Syracuse team was going to beat WVU either. This is college football, where upsets happen every week. Hopefully, Cincy comes into the Carrierdome thinking that all they have to do is show up. That will give the Orange a chance to pull an upset, if they team doesn't fall apart in the meantime.

The team has been all over the place this year as far as consistency. If anyone here claims they know how the last two games will play out, they're kidding themselves. I have no clue whether we go 5-7, 6-6, or 7-5. Unfortunately, it looks like this is going to be a season of highs and lows - its frustrating but it is what it is.

We've actually been very consistent, just not in the way that we want.

True but we had 2 or 3 future NFL players and Marcus Sales on the field that day and unfortunately, none of them have been adequately replaced..
