I hate this sick feeling....

I think we go 1-1 in our last two games, Syracuse is going to destroy our defense. If we make it to the ACC championship SMU will put up 40+ points on us.

Mario gets credit for this great offense but he also has to take accountability for one of the worst defenses in the country. Look at Colorado who turned over their whole roster, their defense is light years ahead of ours.

Don’t worry about SMU or the ACCCG if we go 1-1.

It is not a sick feeling for me.
This is a new age of College football. One loss does not change the goal or the mission.

If we truly have one of the best QBs and offenses in history we should win our last three games.

If not then we finish with a couple losses which is what I was expecting (and many people here were expecting) in August.

Just have to be patient and see how it plays out.

related to the 2017 team and recent history the first 9 games might leave us with a 9-win season.

we lose to Wake or Cuse and mess up the best shot we've had at an ACC championship.

SMU and Brashard Smith plus ex Canes beat us up. SMU and Lashlee will be a challenge.

I wouldn't feel this way except the GT game has left such a bad taste. Where was the urgency, the leadership, the adjustments. I don't see much fire from this group, yeah, they celebrate minor stuff but where is the we have to win intensity. I also would be far more confident is our defense didn't suck. The talent is there but they get less effective each game instead of improving. Every aspect of the defense is flawed, the DL, LB, and DB. We can't say any group has performed.

I'd love to see us dominate in the running game, that eats clock and lets the defense rest. As everyone I love Cam but are we playing to gain him the Heisman or to win games using ALL our talent. We used our RBs to beat FSU and got complaints that we should've thrown the ball more and used Cam more. I say exploit opponents’ weakness and if they struggle against the run then pound them. Last year we beat Clemson and the TD run by Brashard Smith was a huge factor but face it, Martinez or Fletcher are not running 90 yards on one play but Chris Johnson can. I wonder if our OL wants to block more for running plays versus pass blocking constantly. We've become a one man show.

I know I'm rambling but I'm an old man anxiously wanting another NC for my Canes before I leave this planet. Next year I hope we use Emory or Luke and not a portal QB. I fear the way we've used our roster lots of our lightly used talent will portal out and that would be sad. I also hope Saturday this team erase my sick feeling by crushing Wake. GO CANES!
