If so Pitt is still in the mix if they somehow fix this thing. UNC is not dominant and Ga Tech and Duke will likely lose again.
Will 2 or 3 Loss Team Take the Coastal ?
- Thread starter WishfulPanther
- Start date
Better staff as well
The point I want to make is they could make a run for the coastal and lose it at the end.. Then they will kick themselves for blowing GA tech and Lville games... I pick they pull of an upset against either UNC or Cuse at least.
Blowing games implies Pitt was the better team I suggest to you they were not and in fact were lucky to beat WVU
I'd go as far as to say that every opponents backup QB is better than our starter. We are witnessing ineptitude that hasn't been seen since Pat Bostick was under center
Well a major IF of course, IF they somehow upset UNC in a flukey way. They are actually back in the race as they are then only 1 game behind first place UNC and have head to head. This is a big if of course!!
Pitt was better than Louisville. They had 4 turnovers and a shit ton of penalties. Fumbles and picks in the RedZone. That game should have been over at the half.
LOL. The optimism is admirable. But Georgia Tech actually is as well, “if they can fix this thing”.
I think at this point we should all be happy just making a bowl game. Too many injuries and an offensive game plan and coordinator too stubborn to change his game plan to the talent they have. I really think Narduzzi's not elevating someone to continue last year's system and just implement more early running pays was a huge disaster. Everything you switch the whole system its like starting all over again. It's terrible.
We can’t lose another to really have a shot.When tiebreakers come into play we probably lose those.Best scenario now is to win out. Or at least win a couple more to become bowl eligible.
And if crystal meth weren't so readily available, there would be no posts about even the slightest possibility of this team winning its division.
Why should that make us happy? I had and have higher expectations myself. 5 million a year he should as well
Come on guys, As much as people crap on Narduzzi on this board, he doesn't let his teams just tank a season like that. They got some wins to come and will fight or at least knock someone else off of winning the coastal !
To be fair, his teams do have a history of rebounding well after some rough games. Unfortunately we can no longer cite the Western Michigan thing from last year though seeing as we’ve already surpassed the regular season loss total from last season, but this team wasn’t going to be that good anyway. And the hole may get deeper after next week.
This team feels like it has at least 2 more losses in them and to me 7-5 is starting to feel about right.
What makes this different, in my opinion, is this is not some young team with no expectations. This team tasted blood last season and came with plenty of expectations. When you have those and don't meet them, that's when things start to get ugly. It's basically why teams like Texas and Miami can lose to teams with 1/4th as much talent over the years. Guys just quit; things brew behind the scenes; and the program becomes toxic.
Can't say for sure we are there, but there have been a few signs of it being a possibility.
Yeah I figured this response from a pessimist was gonna come, I thought about adding a note on that. I agree even 3 wins won’t be easy and this team has been a massive disappointment, but I still (maybe stubbornly) refuse to believe they’re this bad and will finish with less than 7 wins.
Really most of the other teams remaining on the schedule have flaws too.
Pitt will lose at least 2 more games. Doesnt matter, but yes 2 losses will win it.
Duke maybe Cuse probably no Miami NO North Carolina probably no
not a pessimist a realist be lucky very lucky to go 6-6. 5 million a year doesn’t get you much these days
With the teams we have yet to play, and our current O-line/ quarterback situation I think 4-8 seems about right. We will not win a single game against these teams. They can all score points and have 2 dimensional offenses. We will not be able to count on running them over with Izzy, while hanging the defense out to dry. We have become a mess. This team will be facing 8 and 9 man boxes the rest of the season, as no team will have any respect for our non-existent passing game.
Absolutely. This season was different. Narduzzi cashed in on those expectations, remember. He didn’t tell HL, “oh, no, that contract extension is way too generous, we are going to revert back to a .500 team.” Likewise, HL didn’t turn down bigger donations and ticket sales. This season needed to at least approximate last season. It has become 2017. He is not delivering his end of the deal.

UNC isnt a great team either, we could easily win that game. Losing Warren is a big loss, we need to adapt and figure out how to move the ball without him
Coastal is mediocre for sure this year. I thought Miami would easily take it they have the best group but have really underperformed
Losing by 2 touchdowns says different. As for penalties that's typical of a Narduzzi coached team due to lack of discipline.
