If you rattle off our W-L records over the last 20-30 years, pretty easy to say it’s a good season.
Couldn’t agree more. We are a Syracuse and BC waiting to happen. 7-5 8-4 is what we need to strive for and hope for break out like year once a decade. Simply are not in a football rich region anymore and we don’t have the fan base or program resources to run with the big dogs. Those are all facts anyone who disputes these are either delusional or an absolute a$$hat.
In most years it would be ok, but the expectations this year were way higher. The schedule is also awful especially the ACC so 5-3 there is pretty bad. Add to it the ridiculous and boring offense and really it’s been pretty awful
So is this 8-4 season coming off of last year continuing that upward growth of the program or taking a step backwards?
I agree with all of these. Personally, I think this season was a major disappointment because of what happened last season and what we thought we could do in 2022 to build off of it. Heck, this might beat 2003 and 2010 in terms of disappointment even if we finished 8-4.
The expectations were probably reasonable in terms of record (9-3 to 10-2) but way off in terms of the potential on offense. The WR corps was gutted and was nothing more than mediocre. We replaced the 2021 Kenny Pickett with the 2019 version, only this one was immobile and much less accurate with the deep ball.
Just wondering when our program got so elite that we consider 9-4 a bad season.
I think Pederson understood it, he just didn't care. He's meddlesome and he would rather fail with his hire than succeed with someone else's.
True dat. Even in the 3 game winning streak, there was nothing there that would suggest this team is good enough to count any game as a sure win.
These guys need a reality check pretty soon they will “ Jamie” the program . Running off pop duzz
Believe me va tech and uva would trade coaches for pop Duzz in a minute
It's hard to say what the future holds, but if Duzz produces these types of seasons for another 4 or 5 years, without an offense that is a little more fun to watch, he will also be viewed as expendable and probably pushed out. Not saying it's right or wrong, but that's just the nature of the business.
Such an old tired lame response. Can’t ever think or say anything critical of the program unless that means you want to run off the coach.
I iwaxat the Pete yesterday. Believe me the volleyball team is out drawing mens hoops
Now here’s a good example of being conditioned to set the bar low. Yeah, let’s not strive for anything higher.
What were you expecting at the Pete yesterday, Sunday afternoon game against the NFL and a no name opponent?
Tennessee is a good team. They aren't one of the best teams in the nation. You can't be one of the best teams in the nation and let South Carolina hang 60 on you. One of the most flashy offenses in the nation, sure. One of the best teams, no.
I watched about 5 minutes of the hoops game. It looked like a Covid crowd. Those weren't cardboard cutouts?
The OL has been fine, and frankly I've been very encouraged by their play regarding next year. I honestly don't know where this bagging on the OL comes from this year. They're running the ball pretty well, and Slovis has been afforded all day to throw in many games this season. Ignore that he's a glorified statue and tell me how many times was he touched last week?
Yeah, you’re pretty much saying the same thing I said but more diplomatically. Good season but I find it hard not to consider it a disappointing season.
