It's about more than just QB and superstars, man. Miami's defense is awful. They don't have much room for error on offense. I've seen how that usually works out over the course of a full season. You're almost always gonna take a couple of unexpected Ls because your offense has an off day, turnovers, or just a bad break or two. You get too dazzled by star power.

The defence gave up 3 points (and realistically should have pitched a shutout in the second half if Diaz had any balls and went for it) in the second half. 

We went on a 34-3 run. 

It's not a good defence (because the secondary isn't very good [or they're very young]), but it just needs to get a few stops a game and we win. 

And if you ask me the O has had a few off days already - there's just so many ways we can beat you that we score enough anyway.

Dabo and thinking don't really go hand in hand. He's a recruiter and motivator. He ain't gonna beat anybody outwitting them on Saturday. Which honestly is fine. A lot of great college coaches are like that.

At very least, one of his assistants should have told him, hey coach, being down by 11 is better than being down by 12.  

Didn't matter anyway.

I'm rooting for y'all. I've just seen how these style of teams usually play out. The margin of error is slim.

The best QB in a conference and the best QB in the nation oftentimes doesn't win the conference or the national championship. You always act like a 13 year old girl about this stuff. Muh superstars!!! LOL

I'd argue best O in the nation - certainly the best O in the ACC.

Best RB room, best OL room, best TE room. Arguably the best WR room too. We have the best DL room in the ACC too, for what it's worth.

They better enjoy it. Whoever wins the ACC is gonna get exposed in tbe playoffs. This conference is just not as talented as other conferences. These ACC games are just not the same as other conferences. Bad defenses, missed tackles, offenses scoring at will. Just terrible!

Have you watched ANY other games this year?

I just suffered through Georgia v Florida. It was a literal pillow fight.

The Big12 is no better. Honestly you have the SEC and the Big10 outside of that the conferences are weak…

I think he gave up on winning the game a while ago - he was trying to keep the score respectable. 

At the time, he still had a slight chance to win.  Would have cut the lead to 11 with 6 minutes left.   I think he just didn't think it thru.  Of course, following that play, Clemson gave up an easy td, so it became irrelevant.  But at the time, it didn't make much sense.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
