Optimist vs pessimist

The optimist says we are just a few plays away from being 6-0, but the pessimist says we are a few plays away from being 1-5. The frustrating part to all of us Clemson fans is that we have now scored only 74 points in our five games against top-tier opponents. Whereas last year we were having to take Trevor out of the game in the third quarter so we would not score 74 points in one game!! I am not giving up on our tigers! I realize Finebaum says we are irrelevant to college football right now, But on that same line of thinking, I assume he thinks that Texas A&M, LSU, and Auburn are also irrelevant to college football. We still have a shot at the ACC championship, so Go Tigers and let’s get it done!!!

Not giving up on the Tigers either. Though they are hard to watch.
The defense is holding up well given tons of injuries and etc. The offense is in complete disarray. DJ played better in Q2. The rest if the team and play calling is inconsistent as well. Biggest issue is that TE does not own this offense and the players sense that and are not focused and are coasting

How about a realist. This team is play mediocre offensive football, they are not well prepared mentally, the coaching is the worst it's been in 10 years (even Skalski had to scream at them tonight), our punter is painfully inconsistent etc. But this coaching staff has brought more joy to this fan base than anyone could have ever dreamed and if you're whining then you're an a**hole.

To be optimistic, the Tigers have a coaching staff, but on the flip side, its not the same coaching staff from even 3 years ago.

That point total against only 1 (not 5) top tier opponents. Let’s be honest, if these point totals were against a brutal schedule we’d all feel a little different. But we are taking about Syracuse, BC (without their starting QB), GT, and Nancy State. All of which are average at best - with some being below average.

realizing our offense is a struggle, and likely will continue as one, as the issues are to numerous to fix completely in season. Many reasons for them, some in the staff's control, some not. But the staff has realized this, it's the fans who have not. Which is why the staff is focusing on what they can control, like execution, and not personnel, which isn't changing in October.
