You’d think when they just keep running at us we’d go cover two, play the run, keep 7 in the box etc. maybe this loss will force change

- With the implicit and inevitable claim of benefit of hindsight and without the benefit of having rewatched, I voice the following:
- I am fraggle here. I disagreed with the very first foregone field goal attempt and pleaded with Mario to take the points. Even before the holding on the would-be score to Horton made it a 4th and 16; I wanted the points.
Easy to say ‘well, fourth and six we routinely pull those out of our ***,’ but the way our D had played for the previous two possessions (iirc) and set up by strong special teams execution kicking and covering, I thought that we had a chance to pin them deep. Would still have been a two score game, but would have set us up to only need one touchdown and another field goal should we continue to rip up yardage but seemingly stall out. Points left on the board with arguably the most steady kicker in the country; that was so discouraging from a ‘don’t overthink this’ standpoint (cumulatively even more so).
Onto the stalling out and the offense:
- Cam looked like he was forced to process considerably more slowly than we’ve become accustomed to seeing and Tech did a better job (seemingly) of rotating their coverage past initial reads to pickup stragglers and adjust to the more predictable(?) straggler routes in a scramble drill.
So when that all-world release time assisted by his top notch pre-snap identification didn’t get off, the breakdown on the back end didn’t seem to be there the way all of our opponents have provided to this point.
- When Tech was dialing up pressures it seemed time and time again their timing of our snap count was impeccable. I’ll admit that this notion of mine could be recency bias.
- Cam was not comfortable as he had been in scramble or backyard, looked like his eyes came down in the second half quite a bit more to navigate (leading to a few missed ‘some but not all of it back’ opportunities.
To pair, he did not seem to feel pressure from blindside in those moments, I am maybe misattributing that to Bell consistently being content with using his size to guide the rush upfield, only to be beat when the end rush did not relent and kept the motor going to loop back around.
- When we ran, it did not seem nearly as downhill or forceful as it had in previous games. I don’t have a lot to offer there.
Onto the defense:
- What in the actual… Not sure if I’m turning on Guidry here or maybe we’re employing personnel in too frequent snaps that are consistently freelancing, this is a head tilt at Baron. Again, I don’t know if I’m seeing it accurately there or not.
- We don’t have three phases of a quality defense. We have one and that is the line. Knowing this, which I think we all do, I am saw that line consistently suck in two-three yards up field and leaving the flats as a complete vacuum. Not once on that but all day, and Tech was all the more willing to keep accepting that gracious accommodation.
That’s what points me to the freelancing merc theory, ‘Guidry Apologist’ labels be damned.
- I didn’t notice Bobby P, was hoping we would be hear his name called out often because he would be playing like a bat out of **** flying upfield. Don’t have the benefit of snap counts at this time.
That is not a criticism of him in the slightest but one of the utilization, I was hoping he would be in more to get some juice in the game and effectively using him as a missile to blow up A gap or B gap, either pushing the pocket deeper or punishing King when they decided to run middle.
- Quick conclusion to my gripe on personnel utilization: I mean we ****** knew whether they were going to throw or run, didn’t we? Or did we not?
I sure as **** felt like I did, to a point that I was waiting to be made a fool of when they reversed course and threw with one guy or ran option with the other. Like… what?
- Secondary was set up I think the way we were all hoping it would be for the most part. Quan slips and freshman moments were something I was prepared to take in stride.
Harris should have gotten flagged for multiple late hits and it did not go without notice from Tech players and staff. The cheap **** gave them more juice and it don’t much matter that they’ll be feeling their ribs tomorrow because they didn’t make mistakes as a result or change their strategy to shy away from it. Can’t point to anything statistically on that one, just have to ask “Why?”
I hope it did not go unnoticed how ****** awful the communication continues to be, Meesh was visibly screaming due to lack of rotation on assignments for **** near the whole game, kids voice has to be shot right now. It looked like Week One against the turds with the stupid *** shallow cover one (I think?) designed to allow for ease in rotation clarity (at least I thought). I guess I can blame Guidry there but smokes.
Ultimately most of you won’t read past the fraggle comp, which is fine. But frustrating, we’ve been asking to lose operating this way so the cleanest way to mitigate that chance is to get points every trip to give yourself more margin for error back end. We chose to not do that despite the empirical evidence of the season to date.
We lost, I hope we learn. I’ll stop typing now.

GT lined up like a fake punt. No gunners on the outside with a tight formation.
he misses alot of open guys. Look he's Russel Westbrook. Chip on his shoulder, underestimated, relies on athleticism but can get you in trouble. end of day hes better than TVD.

How are we not prepared for that after a tv timeout? And it didn’t look to me like GT or us lined up any different after. If we werent ready, shame on the coaches.

Miami could lose again as well. Pitt controls its destiny. Miami does not. If Pitts wins out, they're in and Miami's out.

Yep. Miami doesn't pass the eye test and they proved all our doubters correct. Miami will be appropriately ranked on Tuesday. Miami is a 15-18 team.
My expectation before the season was to win the ACC. I don't know if this team can beat SMU. That's even if they get to the ACC title game. Pitt controls their destiny holding the tiebreaker. Miami looks like they could lose another game.
What is so disappointing is the effort. Watching other teams play, it is so clear hoe they show up focused ready to play. Alabama is .aking a ststement against zLSU.This Miami squad looks like a Manny team coasting on media hype and pats on the back. It's crystal clear when you see the 4th quarter desperation effort that should have showed up at the start if the game.
