The Lions' Pride

Why does Duke not count? I believe their offense was the worst it was in the modern era. Meaning as bad as Duke has been it was never that bad before or after.

I wish I could just eliminate things at work that I did that weren't good and say they don't count.

The talent at Duke was and is pathetic. They couldn't even compete with our 2nd and 3rd string guys. My point was that those 2 years with poor talent should not be an indicator of his ability.

As far as the work comment, you have to take it in context. Did you have the resources necessary to be successful at the task at hand? We're you there long enough to bring in the right pieces around you to be successful? My point isn't that it shouldn't count, it's just that I do not think a lot can be concluded from it.

Now, he very well may have improved since then. We don't know. But it's not unfair to look at how he performed in college and be a little worried.

It's also his first time as a HC. He's also adding play calling on top of that. We have no idea how he will handle this. It's tough enough being a first time HC let alone adding play calling duties to your workload. he has a lot on his plate and nobody knows what to expect or how he will handle it.

Are we too include TD's to the other team?

If so...way over. I just see a few of those on the short passes where the DB steps in to the weak throw.

Thought I'd dig this up and revisit...

Some people need to start eating crow already.

Can we go with O/U 19.5?

I still think over. It will get more difficult now in BIG play, but I love the system and MM is working within it.

Good call.

Thoughts...?

Hahaha.. It is pretty funny to read through people's posts on this thread, all thinking they know what they're talking about.

I feel pretty good about my post. Only thing I was wrong on was well everything... I really thought Jones would be QB by now and that MM couldn't pick up the offense. I did say that if he doesn't throw ints. that he would be over easily.

With that said:

I don't think we will really know until we play a strong D. Certainly the likes of Ohio, Navy, UVA, Illinois, and Temple aren't defensive juggernauts. I like his chances in the next couple of games to actually trhow 2-3 td's/game too. Then it might become a struggle in the last 3-4.

MM's numbers thus far:

COMP ATT YDS CMP% TD INT RAT
101 170 1217 59.4 10 2 136.6

O/U at 21?

Any post season analysis?

This was definitlyone of the entertaining reads. Not so much under guesses, but moreso the extreme confidence of some of it with apparent malice lol

Told ya that The Mox was going to easily make the over. Never a doubt in my mind.
