People saying that we can “still make the playoffs” and “we’re still and elite team”

need to take off the orange colored glasses. The Oline has had fundamental issues for years. We’ve been trusting the coaches to do what’s necessary to get the team back on track. After Clemson beat Bama, 44-16, and after LSU beat them, Saban made the changes to improve and fix what wasn’t working.
This is on Dabo to hold Caldwell and Elliott accountable and improve the offense. If they make it to another high profile/playoff game and changes and adjustments aren’t made, they’ll be manhandled again. “Clemsoning” will make a comeback.

Your post assumes that Dabo wasn’t at the game last night and won’t make any changes this week. I can assure you he went to work last night and he saw all the same things we all saw; just on a more personal and upfront level. All is not lost based on the undesired outcome of one game.

Yeah, that’s just it. Dabo has been on the sidelines. He’s seen the problems first-hand and he’s the only one that can initiate and make the needed improvements. We’ve been expecting it for years!
The Oline is average, if that. Why can’t we have a solid center at this point in our program? DJ got sacked 8 times last night. They looked bad last night, just like they looked bad last year versus Ohio St. The Oline has been able to get by in the past because of great QBs, DW and TL.

We are a very talented team and can be elite by the end of the year. Way too early for the what if Playoff game but IF we take care of the next 12, we will have a chance and that is all you can ask for.

We're the second most successful team of the last 7 years or so, very far from "clemsoning".
Have you watched the playoffs? Have you seen some of the teams that get in? Ok well give it some time and lets see what this team becomes. The defense looks ready. Maybe, just maybe, the offense will look better against a non-top 5 defense.
Chicken little up in here.

But we have to be able to be great against a top 5 defense.

Lol...if we win out we will be in the playoffs. A Top 5 does not lose a well contested Top 5 match-up Week 1 by a Pick6 and get bounced out of the Playoffs. Week freaking one. But yeah, drive yourself crazy all year listening/debating the narrative, by all means.

Understand what you're saying but that narrative is already being chanted by most of the sports media. Nothing is being said concerning uga only scoring 3... And with the exception of the last drive, not much more offense. It did just look bad though. We stopped uga fair and square. Yes, uga is elite talent but we looked bad. Real bad.

I stop listening to all that drivel. They are selling air, we know better. We have been around many blocks at this point. I am not waiting my time on what those salesmen are peddling, we have the what we need and just have to take care of business. As usual, it is there for us to do that. There is plenty more grand things to consider than that same ole silly drumming that they do every year.

Apparently you don't have a clue of what you're saying bc, the team that beat us was as talented as any team in the country, and they beat Clemson only bc of one player being in the right place at the right time.
As far as being a judge of what is considered to be an elite team, you absolutely SUCK, SUCK, SUCK at it. You have failed miserably with your personal determination of elite. You have put Clemson, the players, and the coaches down for what didn't happen, and the truth is that Georgia's offense didn't actually do any better than the Clemson offense. Both offenses faced very stout defenses that made each others offense look worse than they actually are.
You should take all of your orange off, and find a different team to cheer for, and real Clemson fans will be happy if you do just that!!!

Okay. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid and pumping the sunshine. I love Clemson and whether it’s football, basketball, or baseball, I see problems and I want them addressed and fixed. Georgia was the better team last night, just like Ohio St was, and just like LSU was. See a pattern?

Clemson was 11th in rushing last year.
That’s 11th in the ACC.
