imagine: Saints Bucs Falcons and Ron Rivera. All 2-0.

You do. And our record was a product of our schedule and how that matched up playing in a Time Machine. So it doesn’t really mean much presently. We weren’t playing good football last year. We could barely compete a forward pass to finish the year.

Panthers beat teams with horrific run defenses. Because Wilks played 1960s football. if he saw a good team, it was over in the first quarter we were a bad team last year. No matter the coach. Wilks is just a decent coach and did the only thing possible to look respectable on Sunday.

Ok. I forgot about him. Blind squirrel.

Fitts best FA add to date was PJ Walker. Let that sink in.

Clemson is ranked #23. Everyone knows the coaches poll is the only irrelevant pre CFP ranking poll that matters.

Nothing really. Because his draft picks are too young to judge. Incomplete grade there. so really all you can do is judge his free agents and contracts. And he hasn’t been good there.

They didn’t switch offenses. They switched what pages of the playbook and calls were going to be made. It was Wilks telling the same OC to run the ball. They didn’t learn a new offense mid season

I mean, the Saints and Bucs aren’t rebuilding. They inserted vet QBs into what they deem as solid rosters. It’s basically where Rhule had us. We could have done that. It would have been keeping CMC. Keeping Moore. And bringing in someone like a Mitch Trubisky or some other castoff.

Because you literally can’t trade every human of value. We did trade away a LOT to kick off the rebuild. The one that features all new coaches, schemes, and a #1 overall pick we hope to build around

I’ll care about wins after the bye week. This is about developing a QB and figuring out what we should do around him. Saints should win this one fairly easy pending we don’t get some big D plays or the Saints shoot themselves in the foot.

You are right. And it’s why Miles Sanders had his one good season last year as a rusher despite being meh at the rest of the job. The OL is great and teams have to worry about everything else not named the RB rushing. which is why Philly didn’t value him and we overpaid

Marty had some key adds that got us to the Super Bowl in 2003 and to then back to NFCCG in 2005. Marty got really bad when the lockout talk started. Prior to that, Marty was decent.

Go for it

Penalties did feel a little one sided. Think that cheap shot on the 2 way player made it feel justified to a degree but Colorado is doing a good mix too Sheduer Sanders going with the classic WWF eye poke on the CSU defender that keeps wrecking the OL https://x.com/redditcfb/status/1703252336296992880?s=46&t=f55N0zsNFevD-XGJBWj1-A

This isn’t what I would call a good college football matchup up though. It’s just media relevant. these two programs combined for 4 wins last year

Nonsense was going on all pregame between the two teams too. They merely let it continue. I’m guessing it gets real dumb when one team actually starts to pull away

They sort of touched on it in this broadcast, but injury frankly has derailed a lot of the Clemson WRs the last couple years. I mean take a Justyn Ross. He single handedly won the last Natty. Dominant. Then was hurt. Never really recovered while at Clemson. Turner always hurt. Collins. Lot of their dudes just ain’t staying healthy. So it could be some of that really factoring and not that they don’t have talent coming in at WR.

Bama making me feel kinda good about the state of Clemson’s forward pass dumpster fire

I put Michigan slightly out of that tier and in the next in terms of this CFP era…just because they have never won a game in the end. But it’s splitting hairs probably. In fact I might would have to put them alone on their tier because I don’t love lumping them in with Notre Dame, OU and the likes.

They all have set absurd bars that basically can’t be consistently met. Football is always going to be football. Which means poo is going to happen. I still consider those 3 and Ohio St the cream of the crop in terms of programs. They might have hiccups and one season wonders pop up but I think are all in good shape.

People ain’t as quick to jump on the Bama and UGA dynasty’s are over talk as they have been for Clemson.

I’m thinking Mays at RG. Reunite the college boys back together on the left side

Meh. I keep up with the Jags simply because I really like Trevor and Etienne. I like watching other guys too that have come out of Clemson. Pretty normal to somewhat follow the guys from your college team.

I didn’t include the LSU part because I didn’t disagree with them being spoken of in that light I just didn’t think Ole Miss should be lumped in as an elite WRU school.
