Hey man, it was your post with commentary, own it.
And I was just replying to your post in a thread. We are all well aware that 3 of the 4 teams we've beaten are G5 or FCS teams and none of the 4 are very good.
I think most Buff fans feel like the 4 wins are against 4 teams the team should have beaten. Also, that 1 of the 4 losses was against a team CU should have beaten. And, finally, that there were opportunities for upsets against the other 3 teams CU lost to because UO, ASU and UA are pretty damn vulnerable this season.
So, while 4-4 is better than where the program has been (by a longshot), the frustration comes in because we look at the schedule and believe that 5-3 should have happened and it wouldn't have been much of a stretch for the team to be sitting at 6-2 right now.

Thats the same frustration as last year.
At the very least, this year is better because we beat CSU and a Pac-12 team.

Well I mean, it IS better. Just not better enough.

One clear improvement in 2015, though not getting us to our goals, is winning a couple of close games that we probably would have lost last year. That's the difference between 2 wins and 4. (Last year's close win at UMass was more of an embarrassment than a successful closing.)

so....was thinking about revisiting this thread last night but waited until today.
In all honesty, we SHOULD have beaten USC, UCLA, and HAWAII.
that's 7 games and bowl eligibility. Instead of 4-7 rihgt now we'd be 7-4 with two to play.
Who wouldn't take that record? I think being THIS close shows that we are ready to turn the corner.
Just need to press the accelerator while turning!
come on Buffs, finish strong, beat WAZZU and go balls deep against Utah!

It is coming evident that more than anything what is hurting this team is our depth. Our starters are getting to middle of the pac in terms of ability. Our 2nd string just can't compete with other pac-12 rosters yet.

We were in the game until the last 1:52 with a backup QB.
I'd say we had a GREAT chance to win, and we outplayed them completely.

Until we actually win, the speculation about games we should have won and that we are so close to turning the corner is bull****. Win some ****ing meaningful games, bitch.so....was thinking about revisiting this thread last night but waited until today.

I think front line talent is the main issue. Realistically, how many gamebreakers do we have? The guys that you can count on to make big plays when it really matters? The all-conference teams will bear this out.
It's funny to me that the "half-empty" crowd continually takes the stance that CU could easily be 2-9 right now, but downplays the "sunshine" crowd's stance that CU could be 8-3 right now.
Agreed. The two best players that we have are on the defensive side of the ball (no offense to Nelson).

Bottom line...where were we 2-4 years ago in regards to these types of games?
We were getting blown out by 40 every week.
Now we're losing nail biters in a P5 conference.
We're getting there.

Which gets back to the point that if you play in enough close games and you are not a great team, they generally even out over the course of a season.
Whats are actual record? Cause thats all that really matters.
So you are saying that our actual record is all that matters, and there's no regard to getting blown out by 50 at halftime, vs losing by a FG in the 4th quarter? Really?
Agreed. I don't think it makes the OP and thread title wrong, though.
Of course how you lose matters, but only to a certain extent. At some point, only wins and losses matter, we are near (or really should be near) that tipping point.
Yes. There will come a time (next season) where the close wins need to remain close wins and at least half of these close Pac 12 losses need to be turned into wins or another coaching staff will get an opportunity.
I'm sure most everybody is tired of the "Lose Big, Lose Small, Win Small, Win Big" phrase, but I think it is relevant to this program and sometimes it just takes longer than fans would like it to.
Would you like a juicebox? There is one in that lunch pale over there.
