Basketball starts in about 6 weeks.
It's not that bad.

This is the best team we'll face by a country mile. Our offense has some issues, but there's not a single team we'll see the rest of the season anywhere near this quality.
Mercer will run over us next week. Not as bad as this game but by at least 2 tds.
I’ll see your 2 and raise you one. :) Btw that TD pass was a bad throw, great catch by Miller.

For the last several years every team we lose to is the best team we will see all year.

And next week's team is going to beat us by 30. It's a geographical oddity.

That's my biggest concern with Sisson. I think his decision making is better, but throws rarely seem to be dead on target, even to open receivers.

I'd really like to just see what we've got with the other guys. This would be a game to do it. At this point, I think we know what we've got in Sisson.

What I don't get with most of you is the benefit of just moping about things. Like, why torture yourself watching a team play that you think isn't any good? Like, why not go do anything else?

What's going to change this season? Going to sign a free agent?

Why not just support the team? Criticism is fine. They can handle it. But the chicken little negativity just seems like such a waste of time.

I think I know what you mean. I get sick of people saying that when they mean “we’re really a very good team, despite what you see, that we will do just fine the rest of the season.”

He led the receiver and threw it low, where only Miller could get to it. You obviously never played QB or WR.
Are you only watching the game at this point to find more stuff to complain about?

We're a team that will do just fine the rest of the season.

Are we going to go 15-0? No.

Tonight’s opponent is the best team we’ll see the rest of the season.
Next week, our opponent will be the best team we’ll see the rest of the season.
How many more times will we have to repeat that statement after a loss this year?

I agree with Jackal. You fair weather fans can go shove it. I thought we would be competitive as many of you did, but let's face it, this is a good FBS team that played well tonight.

This game means nothing. Time to go back to practice an get ready for Mercer.

I realize someone said something that fits your narrative, but literally no one says that after every game.

Are you honestly debating there's a team on our schedule tougher than NC State? I don't think Mercer will be in their zip code, but that's just me. What do I know?

We will be good enough.
We may even get 5 wins, one more than my actual prediction which I made weeks ago.

Most qbs throw a spiral, that was a wobbler. I love thst last 3rd and eight throw it 20 yds sideways to the sidelines s9 there is no way to get 8 yds.

I'd like to see what Shiflett gives us.

He's clearly an athletic player. Maybe he can give us something in the run game we've been lacking.
