Offense has sucked all season, but they played well enough to win today. The stupid penalties and the defenses inability to get dook off the field when they had them in multiple 3rd and long and a few 4th down situations was really what did them in. Oh, and the coaching sucked as always.
The possession after we got the ball back up by 1 in the 4th Q was horrible. Run into the gut for no gain, sack, sack, punt.
 
i think this is what i’m seeing. The bellichick thing could clearly work if it was actually Bill Bellichick. Not the cuckolded diminished version we’re getting. He just got outcoached laughably by manny diaz
The biggest problem from my view is the big picture stuff like his approach to building college rosters, implementing the right schemes, etc. but I think his game management has also clearly slipped. It’s been almost Mack-esque at times in that regard.
 
The NFL's 33rd coaching staff got absolutely pantsed by Scott friggin' Frost and Manny friggin' Diaz this year, not to mention lost to a first-year coach at Wake friggin' Forest who had a bunch of Dave Clawson's players and some guys who came over from Washington State. They'll probably make Doorknob Dave look like *Mensa* material next week in Raleigh.

We are fucked as a program as long as these guys get to continue their grift.

The play of the game was the fake Dook field goal. Raise your hand if you thought Dook was going to run the fake? I sure did.
On Dook's previous offensive possession, Diaz went for it on fourth down instead of letting the kicker try a 44-yard field goal...I figured Diaz did not fully trust the kicker from that distance. Why would you not just kick the field goal to take the lead? Then on the fake FG, it also would have been a 44-yarder.
Keep in mind that the Dook kicker missed that earlier field goal attempt in the first half from 46 yards out, which was wiped away because UNC stupidly roughed the kicker.
On the fake field goal, why in the world did the UNC coaches have the players crash down to block the kick instead of playing the fake? Seems pretty simple to figure out. Don't risk another roughing the kicker penalty and defend against the trick play. Maybe it was not so obvious but felt before the fake that there was a really good chance it was coming.
State is going to obliterate the Heels next week....

Oh there will be arguments. Don’t you worry.
There will be a ton of infighting with our fans lol but I really don’t think that it’s an even 50/50 type of split at this point. I would say most of the die hard fans that really follow the sport closely see the situation as a farce that needs to end yesterday, then a minority are pushing back hard that this is still somehow going to turn around with another season. The casual fans are probably just resigned to Belichick getting multiple seasons simply because that’s how coaching tenures usually work.

Really though all you need to do is look and listen to what other people that follow the sport outside of the UNC sphere are saying about it. Basically everyone in the media that covers CFB that I pay attention to (beyond Gameday talking head types like Saban and McAfee who aren’t going to publicly bash Belichick) have been consistent that this was a bad idea and won’t work. Neutral fans seem to agree, and rival fans are all laughing and hoping that we keep rolling with Belichick for as long as possible.

More importantly, why didn’t the officials rule the holder down? Should’ve been a turnover on downs.
