This game changed nothing

Advertisement
i'm as die hard as any on here

but it sucks to see absolutely NO changes to the defense despite obvious schematic flaws

i know it's going to look dumb in hindsight - but maybe this loss was good for us (considering we should still make ACC title game barring pitt somehow beating murderer's row)

a bye week on deck, Mario and the players have to sit on this L

MAKE changes on D and win out

doesn't excuse anything - just saying, if we were gonna lose 1 of the 3 games remaining including today, today was the one to lose

I think having the bye next week is why I'm optimistic. You get to marinate in the loss, watch the film, and know the rest of the season has no room for error. Ward will look at the team in the eyes and tell them this won't happen again

nightmare scenario

pitt has the toughest schedule, they would easily be in over us via tiebreaker. i think our SOS within conference is better than SMU but who knows (granted they don't have a loss and doesn't look like one's coming)

We won’t. If we both win out and SMU does too, I would gather that we lose the tie breaker.

The 4th tie breaking condition is the winning percentage of opponents. They play SMU, Clemson, UNC and Boston College, while we play Wake, GT, Duke and FSU. Ironically, FSU’s terrible record would likely bump us out of the ACCCG. That would suck!

Of course it does. If we’re undefeated going into ACCCG, we’re in the playoffs no matter how bad SMU beats us down. Now we can only make the playoffs if we win out, get help with Pitt, and beat SMU. The idea of this defense stopping Lashlee is comical.

Only hope would be 11-1 and the **** 11 seed if they committee gives us a sympathy cam ward spot. Nightmare fuel

That’s wishful thinking. If there was something to figure out on D, if they haven’t done it by now with bye weeks included, they never are. This is just who this team is.

Cam ward isn’t going to take something personally and all of a sudden just take check downs. There was ample evidence he needed to do it over the course of the season and he never did even when down 25. Even on the last play of the game he didn’t do it. That’s who he is.

This is who Mario is. He’s just going to focus on recruiting one position group a year and forget about the rest. That’s why we have gaping holes on the roster and squandered the #1 offense that we’ve been begging for the past decade.

I’m on blaming Cam Ward for this loss. We probably would be a 500 team without him. I don’t understand how Mario and Guidry went into this season believing we were good to go on defense.

I don’t think that they believed that they were good to go on defense. Especially in the secondary. We missed on some targets. But I see a lot of good things with the young players.

This loss confirms the negative narrative out there about Miami being a pretender with so many close wins against inferior opponents. To change that, they need to destroy teams on the remainder of the schedule and then win the ACCCG easily.

maybe you're right

coaches justify a lot of things with wins

losses not so much

we may lose to wake, Syracuse, or SMU for all i know. but just glad that the team is facing real adversity now and they know there's not a magic pill at the end of every ****** game they play
