Wow. There is NOBODY at this Miami/Louisville game. C'mon y'all. You're 6-4 playing a top 10 team. What a pathetic showing from the fans.

This is what they do.

It's a small, private school, so they don't have 15-20k students to fill the stands. The locals only turn up to watch a winner.

Just a normal ACC year. It just feels horrible to you because Clemson isn't their usual self. FSU is playing the Clemson role this year.

I mean, maybe this FSU team is on par with that Kelly Bryant squad that got steamrolled by Bama in the first round?  But I even think that weak ass Clemson team was drastically better than this FSU team. 

I mean it feels normal to an extent in very recent times.  FSU being the DJU Tigers.  But the DJU Tigers weren’t #4 going to the playoffs.  They were just the best of a weak lot.  Yeah, someone is going to be at the top.    But the records for FSU and even Louisville IMO lie a little more than we generally have seen.

I think you're salty and significantly underselling FSU. They're not on par with Clemson's best teams but this year's NCAA overall isn't on par with those years either. There's a lot of talent out there but there aren't any dominant teams that you look at and say, "yeah, that's a national champ right there".

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
