Let’s be honest with ourselves


Aug 29, 2019, 11:35 PM

We beat a weak GT tonight with a sub par performance based on what we can do. That said, A&M will be another animal altogether. Play like we did tonight, it’s a close one and maybe a L.
That said I think it was still an excellent start, the fundamentals will he stressed all week and I’m looking forward to a helluva matchup next weekend!

It was more of the fact that our playcalling was extremely vanilla. Wr screens and ETN up the middle consisted of 97% of our playcalling. Just goes to show how much talent we have. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that the GT games always nail biters.

I'm always amused at people who point out the bad from a game, and then say we'll struggle against this team or that team if we play that way against them. You mean to tell me if we play bad against a really good team that it might not go well for us? You really know your football!

If you don't like that, skip this and go to Happy Place.

That said, yes, that did not seem to be a good first half. We scored 21 points that we will not get against A&M (the two fumbles down close and a 90 yard run). Take those away and there is no way to make this game look good, except for the fact that we did move the ball well in the 2nd half. This was a really bad team against the #1 team: didn't look like it.

Lest people flame away (but they will anyway), sure, these are First World problems. Compared to where we were a few years ago tonight is the promised land. I got that. But if we're talking Heisman QB and a dominant OL, tonight was not that. We might be all that against A&M, and I hope so, but tonight's team might have trouble with them.

Maybe not 90 yards, but why wouldn't we be capable of scoring a long touchdown against A&M exactly? Also, are you saying that A&M won't turn the ball over any this season? They had 2 turnovers tonight against Texas State btw...

We won tonight 52-14, and had 632 yards of offense. How did that not look like the #1 team against a bad team to you? I'm not saying it was 100% beautiful, but I'd imagine A&M didn't look flawless either.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

All legit. Can't argue. Sure, we might break off a 90 yard


Aug 30, 2019, 12:21 AM

run against A&M, and sure, they might give us two shadow-of-their-goalpost turnovers. That's the game plan?

The same first half we played tonight, played next week, will result in no better than a tie at the half. You know it, I know it, the American people know it. ($1 to Bob Dole.) That's all I'm saying. And A&M ain't that good. The OL was great in the 2nd half, and TL looked better. I hope that is what we open with next week, not this first half we just saw. Again, that is what I am saying. Not dissing on dear ol' Clemson U. Just saying we didn't look like a good team in the first half, not even close.

some people like me see and hope for minor corrections to make us better, others who claim not to see it that way are quick to criticize us that feel that way for even thinking it, refusing to apply the same logic consistently and I find that odd.

the orange glasses view. Heck, I hope its right. I just saw an inefficient offense and a good defense, given the awfulness of the people we were playing. If others disagree, fine. We'll see next week.

Ill take that win against GT given all the unknowns about them on the season. It wasn’t always pretty, but dang TL had a Heisman tackle that most qbs would not even come close to making or tried to make.and then the defense sucked it up and not only held GT, but got an int. They gave us the run taking away the passing game and we did that all night long. We played a lot of players and we beat GT by more than the spread. If you don’t like that win, pull for the team SE of us.

Sounds like you have it all figured out. Any tips on the stock market? Possible other investments?

Team did what they had to do. Showed nothing but up the middle and off tackle runs with some screens and one or two deep balls. What did you expect in a first game against an overmatched opponent with our two best opponents in the coming weeks?

If 1st team plays entire game, and play calling is more aggressive Clemson certainly wins by 50

Where we are lucky IMO is that we have one of the most elite staffs in the business, and hence, whatever bugs showed tonight will be addressed promptly.

Guess what, dude. We beat them worse than last year and allowed less points when we had a 4 man NFL front. No snap judgments are necessary but no reason to hang crepe either.

Come on now. Do you honestly believe the offense they called tonight will be the same one next week? Trevor threw the ball past 10 yards twice. They weren’t going to give teams like A&M and cuse game film to prepare. Also a lot of WR were swapping in and out. By no means was that game perfect but Clemson got the W and came away healthy.
