I think we could very easy rip off 5 straight wins

  • over the next 6 weeks and move to 7-2.

    Bye
    @Wake
    @Duke
    Maryland
    NC St
    @BC

    That will give is 7 weeks to solidify our defense, improve our running game and rest up from injuries before facing Miami, UVA and @UF.

    I think 9-3 is very likely.

  • We're going to win out.....plain and simple.

    Bowden4prez

  • no one here expects to lose ANY of those games. A close game would be disappointing. That doesnt mean we suck any less. This is just the worst ACC in awhile and we wont even be in Charlotte

  • how many times does it need to be said. We are not improving our running game. It's mind boggling that people can not get this through their head. Every week the same thing is said, we won't be able to run the ball all year. Better come to that realization now.

    I said 2 and 2 to start and then win out at the begining of the year. I'm sticking to that prediction.

    I don't think we suck and the ACC actually appears to be stronger than they have been in awhile (FSU, VT, GT and Clemson are all top-25 teams)...although the next 5 teams on our schedule aren't strong.

  • Who are we losing to? Has anyone looked at the schedule outside of crying in their beer? Maryland? LOL. No. Miami? They just lost to K State. NC State? Dog shit. BC on Thursday night? Sorry, Duke has already castrated them.

    We are winning until UF, and UF has zero receivers, and Brantley is NOT good. We are winning out with this schedule. Now the ACC champ against Va Tech? I'm worried. But nothing on the schedule remaining is scary.

    Bowden4prez

  • Yeah, UF is very talented but our D matches but a lot better with them then Clemson. Watching them now and i feel like we could contain demps and rainey and put brantley on his back consistently.

    The only team I have us losing to, unless we improve, is UF at the Swamp.

  • I think we will start getting things figured out soon. The coaches aren't dummies. Heck we had the ball down 5. If shaw makes that catch we are at midfield and clemsons sphincters start to tighten.

    Clemson played well and has players now. Watkins is awesome, even though he did a Michael irvin against Harris.

    I like our fight and now we get to rest. Let's win em all!

    VT lost their 2 stud RBs, star QB and a lot of other players. Clearly worse than last year

    GT sucks. They are ranked cause the havent been beaten yet. They have played bad teams. Early season rankings mean nothing

    Clemson is better than last year, but far from good. Their D is AWFUL. They just gave up 30 to a freshman making his first career start.

    FSU has the worst OL they have had since 06 and it is ensuring we have taken a step back from last year

    On the flip side

    Maryland lost to Temple by 31 at home

    NC ST lose by 30 to Big East #5 Cincy

    Miami lost to Kansas St at home

    BC Lost to Duke

    Virginia Lost to Southern Miss

    So GT has slightly improved, as has clemson, and every other team has regressed. And the ACC sucked last year, but yeah your right the ACC looks REALLY STRONG.

    Would you prefer another 7-6 season?

  • Don't put words in my mouth. I said the ACC appears stronger than they have in awhile. That doesn't equate to "The ACC looks REALLY STRONG".

    lol, shows how pathetic FSU has become with our expectations.

  • Tally, go root for another team then. We had our starting QB out, arguably our best CB, 3 of our top 4 WRs (Haulstead, Reed, and Shaw was reduced to a minimal role - AND scored)..

    Also, anyone not ranking OU at home, and @ Clemson as the two toughest games on our schedule, doesn't know football.

    UF will be tough. But we match up well.

    We will win out, and be in the ACC championship game.

    And Tally, you say sarcasticly "woo hoo". Go root for Bama. You have a great shot at being undefeated this year as a fan. Should be a fun year for you...

    And o-town, tell me something, if someone told you Manuel was going down in the middle of the OU game, what would your predicted record be this year?

    I'd prefer those not being my choices

    9-3 is about as rewarding as a handjob

  • I've been around for years.....posting since 2002. There was a reason for the nickname, and people that were back on Warchant in the day knew why. Has nothing to do with my opinion on Bobby.

    We have some dbags for fans. All they want is a BCS National Championship, and don't think about circumstances. You lose your #1 QB for the year - that goes for any program, do you think they can still go undefeated? Name a school...

    And before anyone says we didn't lose today due to the QB decision, think again. We can't run for crap. But at least with Manuel, there is a THREAT to run. Teams have to be more honest, and it opens bigger plays.

    We have our things to work on...but given the circumstances, 10-2 regular season is VERY impressive given that most thought it would be MUCH worse than this if EJ went down. Frankly, I thought we were going to score 17 points MAX today.

    And Tally, Reid is the only one who makes plays. Maybe put in your South Carolina tape? Oh wait, we lost 4 games, you stopped following FSU and were watching the Steelers at that point, banking on an NFL trophy front runner.....sorry Green Bay crushed that dream for you....but I'm sure you're sceaming GO PACK GO this year.....

  • yeah man that's why I'm here

    because of all the sweet championships we've won in the last decade

    had we not been very good in that span, I'd definitely be rooting for someone else

    NTally Kingpin2

  • If we dont win the next 5 games that will be depressing.

    trunolefan

  • I'm not a homer. There is no reason we shouldn't rip off wins until UF. Absolutely none. We'll see the makeup of this team REALLY quickly here.

    But again, anyone telling me that our two hardest games, we would be without EJ and be forced to play with Trickett, I had us losing. Sorry, the way it is.

    I am a little shocked at the D today. And very disappointed Stoops wasn't blitzing more. But outside of that, was completely shocked we scored 30 points. Was shocked Trickett threw for 300+. Was shocked that the D was responsible ultimately for the L.

    Enjoy what you can get. It's a step up from 1st base (with our sisters) action we were getting not too long ago. Our championship hopes faded last weekend. We can still fight for an ACC title.
