^^you obviously haven't seen our schedule after game 4. We will likely be 4-4 going into week 9 9/14/2014 2:12:04 PM |
dmspack oh we back 25534 Posts user info edit post |
We'll need to get 2 wins out of: FSU (L), @ Clemson (L), BC (winnable), @Louisville (L), @ Cuse (winnable), vs GT (winnable), vs Wake (easy win), @UNC (winnable).
No reason on we can't win two from BC, Wake, @Cuse. GT and UNC will definitely be tougher games....but far from automatic L's like FSU, CLemson, and Louisville. 9/14/2014 2:15:25 PM |

Better way to put it is, if we want to go bowling we have to start 4-0. You're right.

Pretty early in the season after a terrible year last year to be thinking about bowl games. One game at a time. 9/14/2014 3:51:03 PM |

true, but it'll be pretty pathetic (even for the Wolfpack) if we can't beat Presbyterian and Wake at home, plus pick up one more win somewhere else 9/14/2014 3:54:20 PM |

^Yeh, coachspeak from fans makes zero sense 9/14/2014 4:22:30 PM |
Beethoven All American 4080 Posts user info edit post |
My heart can't take the thought of hoping for more than winning one game at a time. I can't even be cautiously optimistic about the rest of the season, just about this week. Then maybe next. (Although that'll take some delusional optimism for THAT game).
It's not coachspeak. It's just delusional as fans to be plotting a bowl game 3 games into the season when that's where our season ended last year. Obviously we're a different team than we were last year, but it's September for crying out loud, a bowl is the last thing to worry about.

It's not delusional to look at your team & the teams on your schedule & say I think we can win 6 games (or 2 games or 10 games or however many you think they can win). Fans do that before the season starts and throughout the season. I would call anyone projecting us to win 10 games delusional, but to call anyone delusional simply for suggesting this team could finish 6-6 is quite odd to me 9/14/2014 4:28:43 PM |
dmspack oh we back 25534 Posts user info edit post |
I get that there's reason to not get carried away and to temper expectations. But there's nothing wrong with me looking ahead and saying "hey maybe we can win 3 more games". As a fan, I am able to both worry about one game at a time, and look ahead at the schedule to gauge where we're at/where we could be. The two aren't exclusive. 9/14/2014 4:30:13 PM |

I'm not saying it's delusional to think we could win 6 games. I'm just saying at this point in the season, it's delusional to think we have a clue how this team is actually going to perform against any kind of pressure. While 6 games or more may be completely attainable, at this point, I don't think we've been tested enough to know whether or not we'll completely fold come ACC play.9/14/2014 4:48:42 PM |

Saying something is not outside the realm of possibility is not the same thing as counting on it. 9/14/2014 5:07:44 PM |
ndmetcal All American 9012 Posts user info edit post |
Either you think people are delusional for saying we can win 6 games or you don't think they're delusional. It cannot be both. If we're using the "outside the realm of possibility" yardstick to measure things, then we cannot make any statements about any future games for any teams. Damn, you must be a peach to talk sports to

I ain't scared to say it...fuck it. We'll win at least 6 games this year.
I said it before the year started. No reason for me to back off it now. 9/14/2014 5:28:41 PM |

I mean I have been pretty critical of the team so far and even I thought if we won the first 4 games we had a shot at a bowl. Wake, BC, Syracuse and GT I don't think its unreasonable to win 2 of those games although playing at BC now doesnt seem like as good a chance as it did a week ago.
As others have said our schedule this year is pretty pathetic to the point if you can't win six games you have a real issue that can't be blamed on being a new head coach and system like last year. 9/15/2014 9:45:31 AM |

no, you're probably about right... recent toons feel like they're evenly matched or that we're hanging on by the skin of our teeth
i'll try and give us a little more of an edge once we hit ACC
of course that'll probably just put the jinx in
