Would we be 5-0 with Mayfield as our QB? Of course we would. We’d be 5-0 with any QB who had made one more play than JF in each of our OT losses, and that’s a large universe of QBs. We would not, however, even with a young Tom Brady, be one of the best 25 teams in CFB. Maybe we run through...

We were. Just fans here were unable to accept it because based on some articles and scouts’ views they had decided he would be our next Orlovsky.

I don’t bet on games, but if I did I’d gladly lay either the 7.5 or the 10 I see above. I think we’re a better team and playing at home win without as much sweat as the last two.

Eh. If that’s what he meant, it’s no less silly than the thought that we have the market power to pick the opponents the fan base would like us to play. I’ll give you an example — we had a good football rivalry with Rutgers. Haven’t played them since they left the American. I guaranty you...

You understand that we can only schedule teams that are willing to schedule us?

So if you logged on to the app at 3:30 looking for us to play a much more complete game, and dominate a middling G-5 team, you logged off disappointed. If you wanted to watch an entertaining football game, you logged off disappointed. Other than the last five minutes there was no entertainment...

I think all games we watch on apps have a delay of some type as opposed to watching on cable or satellite. We blew 2 road games we could have won. We didn’t blow this one. That will have to do for now.

Similar thoughts. It appears to me that King and Parham are our two best LBs (not counting the hybrid LB/DEs, Branch and Key). I don’t think we have them on the field together much, if at all. And I’d love to know if, on the Buffalo tieing TD, someone blew an assignment or the blitz we called...

If we’re not getting into the P-4, and if the NCAA would allow a football only conference, being in a G-5 league of UConn, Temple, USF, Army, Navy, UMass, Buffalo and Delaware would make some sense. But it’s not what we want and would take NCAA cooperation so not worth worrying about at this stage.

You called JMU a flagship. It is not. JMU is Central, except that the Virginia state college system is better at marketing than their Connecticut counterparts and makes their state colleges seem more attractive by naming them after colonial figures rather than directions.

How did we regress so much? We returned a whopping 1 defensive starter. On what basis did you believe our defense was lined up to be as good as it was last year? I had absolutely no friggin idea how our defense would be this year.

It’s like you don’t know us at all anymore.

In 2018 we could have played a 5-4-5 and we still wouldn’t have been able to stop anyone.

I don’t leave the country enough that it’s been worth the effort.

Again, I did not get to watch. Was in a convention in Canada (the real one north of the lake — not the yucky one that may actually be in New York that we played in two weeks ago) and beyond being stuck in a conference room my CBSSports app was blocked at the border and wouldn’t show me the...
