Just the players didn't lose this game

Going on Fourth and.....in high cost situations is ultimately crazy. You can't just look at the odds, you have to look at what you are risking vs what you are getting. I rarely complain about playcalling but it was awful at important times for us on both sides of the ball, even if it was standard protocol for pop warner. Finally, the players were sloppy. Some of that is coaching.

Still have confidence.

The problem here is you see you can run the ball better with Ward and Corbin but we have to be able to make the big plays in the passing game. Helton drops a sure touchdown. The call on forth down should have been Travis at qb with Corbin roll Travis out run throw option. Forth down on our own 45 should have been Travis and rollout bc not one man is gonna stop him for one yard. Just my opinion!!! I’m still confident they can win I KNOW THIS HURTS but I still think they can get pressure now better and will be able to make things happen from the Dline. But we have to fix the backend our DBs play five to ten yards off the ball which is awful, like they don’t think they have the speed to keep up with other reviewers. We are a better team it just didn’t show Saturday!!!!!! What do you guys think??????

What's crazy to me is I still feel like this team has decent talent. Compare it to some of the late Bowden years.

We have more DL talent than the days of Bud Thacker, Kendrick Stewart and Craig Yarborough. Better cornerback talent than Corey Magnum and Jamie Robinson. We had offensive lines with Shannon Boatman and David Overmyer. Our running backs are as good as any backs we had circa 2005-20012.

Those teams, however, had much better QB play. Even the X Lee / Weatherford combo was more efficient than what we have now. After that Ponder and EJ.

We also had much, much, much better LB play back then.

Firing coaches?

Pump the breaks. Whether you’re a WT guy or a MN guy… it is irrelevant at this point. The way we’ve gone through coaches the past 3-4 years, it would be a dumb thing to get rid of coaches right now, at the end of the season? Sure… keep firing coaches with 15-20 games under their belt and you won’t find a guy worth his salt to take this job… we need to realize FSU is a laughing stock right now and it’s going to take several years and we’ll likely experience more nights like last night than we care to admit before we are relevant again. Either buckle up and support this team or don’t… but the constant negativity towards players and coaches, we’re shooting ourselves in the foot as far as doing our part as fans is concerned.

Slants?

Did the slant game leave with Terry? I don’t understand how we can’t draw up slants or sit down routes in the window as we could of dink and dunk if we afraid to run the ball for some reason.

Milton dropped back 43 times and received NO QB pressures!!! That means the play calling and receivers not creating space!!!

Hey you guys have a state education like me what’s 0/43 percentage wise? I mean we haven’t had space like that to throw since Weinke had the most amazing line 22 years ago in 1999

Boys, this team is completely different from 2020!

In pretty much every phase.

Offense-
QB-we have to settle on a QB. Milton is damn good and can sling it.
RB- we have tons of depth. Our backup Webb is special
WR- needs improvement/it will come with better QB play
OL- Wow so much better! Little rough first half but Travis didn’t help. He ran inroWe can run the ball!!
TE- will come alive with better QB play

Defense-
DL- I cannot express my joy in this unit. They crushed it last night
LB- much improved but has some work to do
DB- seemed to be confused in first half. Improved late 3rd and 4th QRT. Our DB’s started tackling in second half!

Special Teams- Mastromonno is a weapon. Returners will help us down the road.
Coaching- I can criticize certain calls and decisions. But end result was they had us driving to beat #9 ND.

The facts that our staff caught the Milton pass/fumble on the FG makes me very happy.
Taggart would have never seen it. The kick was made with no ND player moving. Very easy to do like practice.
I am shocked that people are complaining about things. Did anyone of these people watch the last 4 years?????

why people keep bring heat on defense instead of OC including Mike and Kenny

After two games, I saw the improvements from our defenses. Sure there were about two or three bad calls during the games. However, most of time, they have been playing hard and played decent except last two drives from last game. However, the offenses have been continuing making so much stupid calls (wild cat, 4th and 1 ), put wrong personnel on the field (kept the best running back off field when the game was on the line), poor game management (called timeout to ice its own kicker...etc). So many people have putting heat on Adam and its defenses. My personal opinion was that Mike and Kenny did so poor coach job for the past two games.

What am I missing?

I see the same comments over and over about our roster or what we're missing, but the number 1 issue is coaching and it's blatantly obvious.

According to a lot of our fans the following teams over the past 3 years have a better roster than us:

Syracuse
NC State
Boise State
Virginia
Wake Forest
Arizona State
Jacksonville State

Not a single one of those teams has even half the talent we've had on our rosters over the past 3 seaons. Some don't even have a quarter of the talent.

Prayers Needed 🙏🏽

for a partner of the company I work for who was recently diagnosed with cancer. He is an alum and I think he has an account on here but I am not 100% sure. His entire family went to FSU so he is about as diehard as it comes and loves everything FSU. I believe in the power of intercessory prayer and the healing it can bring. I would love to get him a signed football or something from the entire team but don’t have the connections so all I ask of y’all is to keep him and his family in your daily prayers. Thanks everyone and Go Noles!!!

This team doesn't know how to win.

"This team knows how to win!" Jimbo Fisher after we we beat Clemson in 2014. Jameis was disciplined and benched. But Maguire stepped up and led an inspired FSU team, coming from 7 down in the 4th quarter to win by six in OT, keeping alive a 19 game winning streak. That team was used to winning, and despite a porous defense seemed to find ways to win.

7 years late,r our 2021 team is so used to losing they seem to find new ways to fail. This team has the athletes, and we now have good coaches, what we don't have is a team that believes in itself. It's almost as if when we are on the verge of pulling one out our players focus on what could go wrong this time, and sure enough it's a self-fulfilled prophecy.

Maybe Norvell should try hypnosis.

HOOTERS!!!

Went to the FAU game this afternoon. They whipped Georgia Southern 38-6 and the offense actually looked really impressive for the last three quarters. Certainly never saw anything that even remotely resembled what I saw today during his brief time in Tallahassee. Receivers running wide open on darn near every play, and N'Kosi Perry is NASTY against that level of competition. I knew there were a handful of former Noles that ended up at FAU with Willie but I didn't realize that Andrew Boselli was one of them. Was surprised to see him down there on the sidelines.
