Now that we’re just playing for bowling position

[Alsacs]

So we’re not gonna go to a BCS bowl or the ACC Title game.
I know we are going to win atleast 6 games.
I’m now just hoping that Alton Robinson and Kendall Coleman come back for the 2019 season.
Both are at least rotational NFL DEs.

I’m not even thinking about that until we get our 6th win. No game is a gimme going forward.

We are going to beat atleast UNC and UL at home.
I am not even entertaining we aren’t going to a bowl.

Let’s get 2 more. I don’t think it matters where they go as long as they go. The real bowls will
Be tough to get. There are 4 winnable games left. 2-2

 

[Briancuse]

Im not convinced a bowl game is a lock.

We aren’t going 1-5 in the next 6.
I am not even 1% worried about that.
These losses suck but we are winning atleast 2 more games.

Weren’t you on the 100% winning against Pitt train?

how are UNC and UL's RBs? Are their QBs running threats?

If their RBs are decent and/or their QBs can run, both games are toss ups, IMO.

Just stop.
If you feel this way you aren’t watching team play.
We lost 2 close games we could have won.
It sucks we lost but this mindset is just being afraid for no reason.

Pitt is no better than Louisville. That is not gimmie.

I didn’t think we’d lose our last 3 games by like a hundred points last year. Who knows? I think we will beat UNC. Other than that, I don’t feel great about anything at this point.

 

[Alsacs]

I was. I didn’t inspect our Senior QB to lose his freaking mind and again it’s not like they dominated us.
We played like chit and lost in OT.

@ Pitt vs. UL at home is big.
We are beating them.

Pitt lost to UNC too.

Man I hope them two come back. Would be scary

We lost to an awful Pitt team.

I hope. Haven’t exactly been a second half of the season team...there’s at least two games we CAN win. We COULDVE won today. UConn was our last gimmie.

I’d like to think we can find at least two, but im done being confident for no reason.

 

[Alsacs]

Pitt is 3-3 we didn’t lose to UConn.
It was on the road as well. We made mistakes they didn’t dominate us.
We are going to win 2 more games atleast.

UNC, Wake, Louisville...similar to us.

ND, NC State, BC...better than us.

We can get 2 or 3. We’ll see.

I’ll feel a lot better about Louisville if we beat UNC.

 

[Alsacs]

I understand it a little but Syracuse football fans have PTSD.
We aren’t the same team. We are a bowl team.

 

[OrangeDW]

We aren’t, until we are. That’s how I see it.

We aren’t the same team. We are a bowl team.

Our record is 77-123 since 2002. That’s an average of 4.67 wins over the last 16.5 seasons.

Even the THREE times over 16 season we’ve been a bowl team we’ve barely made it and had to get eligible in the last or second to last game.

I think I’ve earned my cynicism.

I’m critical when it’s warranted and I’m optimistic when I see it. This team is a 8-4 team.
We are going to win at least six games 100%.

Right? I mean, we pretty much all thought we would win today. Some thought it would be a blowout. We lost. They manhandled us down the stretch. Not Clemson. Mediocre Pitt tossed us around. If other teams can do the same, they will likely beat us too. It’s a major flaw that we have to fix, or have to hope the opponent can’t take advantage of.

Some are right back on the horse talking like we’re still good. Good for them for maintaining that optimism? But I’m not feeling it right now. It’s not just that we lost, it’s that a mediocre team that we 100% knew was running every play, still ran the ball successfully at will, to win the game.

Beat UNC and I’ll feel better.
