Brace yourself for it
Excellent point Ragman. If you don’t like what you see than stop watching. This team is going to make some noise in the back half of this season. If you are going to be so negative, don’t bother watching.Here come the negative Nelly's. How the hell that is your takeaway from this game makes me feel sorry for you as a fan. For real.
Jesus, then stop watching if you know how it’s going turn out.Brace yourself for it

A healthy 2017 team beat #2 Clemson and almost won at LSU and Miami. But just couldn’t overcome injuries. 2021 may be better than them but I have to see more.This is the second best team under Dino and it's not a foregone conclusion 2018 beats this team. This one would land a few punches on that one but Dungey would ultimately do what was needed to win.
Edit: Put Dungey on this team and it's better than that one.
As a lifelong CNY'er, we as a population, have a baked-in pessimistic attitude about pretty much everything. I honestly didn't really learn that until I moved away and lived somewhere else for a few years. It's almost like a sport to see how irritated you can get and how irrational you can become. And yes, I know all fans are like this but CNY fans are a breed apart.I know people post in frustration, but sometimes I question if they’re really fans, or if they find the hard times more interesting than the good times.
I will say, Dino needs to tighten up his thought process. We’re going to be involved in a lot of close games. That’s not a bad thing after being blown out so often last year. I don’t see us running away with any games though, so all those decisions will continue to be magnified.
Time to realize that his kicking game isn’t anything close to what he’s normally had. Giving up 3 points isn’t a bad thing with his offense playing like it is. And no more 2 point conversions until the 4th quarter. And to have everyone ready if we are going to do it.
Good points. Dungey on this team has us undefeated right now. Look at the progress we've made since naming Shrader starter. It has taken time to figure things out with him and he's barely been in this offense. Dungey is a better passer and brings the same mobility. This team has a better defense, oline, and Tucker. The one thing it lacks compared to those, outside of Dungey, is a WR like AET, Ishmael, or Custis.A healthy 2017 team beat #2 Clemson and almost won at LSU and Miami.

You're painting with quite a broad brush. I am nothing like the CNYers you are a part of. It's a choice and I choose to look for the bright side and keep negativity to a minimum. I'm happier doing that.As a lifelong CNY'er, we as a population, have a baked-in pessimistic attitude about pretty much everything.

I know I'm painting with a broad brush. This is why I said, "as a population." Obviously, not everyone falls under that umbrella. I'm glad you don't. I don't either. The fact of the matter is a lot of CNY'ers are constantly looking around for the other shoe to drop, and when it does some of them have an odd sense of satisfaction that it did.You're painting with quite a broad brush.

Let's hope for 6- 6. And Bowl game. Remember this is a young team.I’m disappointed too bro but we could easily be 5-1 right now. This season has been exciting so far and it feels like the flood gates will open any minute. I think we finish 6-6.
All 4 games you listed Cuse will be underdogs. Not saying optimism is not a good trait...but retreating from reality is not.Nah. I think we beat BC. Louisville will be a toss up. Who knows what will happen Friday against Clemson. I'm not scared of NC State.
VaTech beatable but being on the road I'll say no. We aren't beating Pitt this year.
Shame we missed on those three losses that could (should) be wins.
I'll go on record and say we go 4-2 to finish year.

Yeah, we'll be underdogs because that's our reputation and Vegas understands the betting publics perception. It doesn't account for how different this team has played the last couple games versus early in the year and last year. I'm not saying we should be considered favorites, but a fan should be able to look beyond Vegas and see how things may be different.All 4 games you listed Cuse will be underdogs.

We've been underdogs every game except Albany.All 4 games you listed Cuse will be underdogs. Not saying optimism is not a good trait...but retreating from reality is not.
When they beat Clemson Friday, they won't be dogs going forward.All 4 games you listed Cuse will be underdogs. Not saying optimism is not a good trait...but retreating from reality is not.
