How do you play so bad after a bye week?

Second time this season. The dropped passes were aggravating. We also need a new kicker.

No more bye weeks for this team. For now on, they will have to at least play and FCS school on what would normally be a bye week to just keep their focus. Seriously, who on here thought the 2 bye weeks would be their biggest foes this season?

Y’all do realize we should have won by like 20 right?

Is it the bye week or SEC competition?

I'm really convinced it is the bye week.

Lotta folks asking this same question.

Perceived weak opponents coming out of bye weeks make for focus issues.

That’s just the same person 3 times

Whatever it is, I don’t like it.

I think that's the point, yes.

 

[General Jack]

It wasn't bad play overall, more that our mistakes are so visible and cost us points.

 

[volfan102455]

I am beginning to think this is just the team we are - a team that will make a few mistakes but when all is said and done, will fight for and find a way to win.

 

[papatomany]

Zero TFLs on running plays and gave up 4.5 per rush. The good news is, unlike many previous years, after that horrendous first Kentucky snap, we gave up no huge plays. Too much, but not the huge game-breaker.

 

[Hydro556]

Lol we weren't playing great before the byes either.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

I think his point is we played well. The team was prepared and well coached, just didn’t execute.

 

[ButchPlz]

This thread sucks.

 

[Volfan2012]

Nico played really well three dropped passes that were right there relate to 18 points. Three missed field goals 9 points. We scored enough to win total execution by WR's and Kicker would've made it a blowout.

 

[overseasorange2]

This thread sucks.

Should be a "BYE Thread".

 

[Spawn]

OP, you mean thank goodness there are no more byes

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Wait! Wait a minute!

Who won the game last night?

Stop being a friggin' Karen by demanding every win be "pretty." We're in a tough conference, and a lot of plays won't go our way. Just win the game, that's all it takes.

Go Vols!

I’ve been watching the Vols since I was a kid in the late 70s. They have always played like ass after a bye week for some reason

It should have been 44-18. And I liked how they threw to the H-backs.

Under Heupel we have been strong out of a bye week. This season, this team, in so many ways is completely different than the previous 3. Yet, Here we are, 1 play away from being undefeated in November.

 

[American_PitVol]

Georgia only beat them 13-12…do they suck, too? Score could have easily been 51-17. And should have been. But I’ll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day

What do you expect from a mediocre team..........Ky was without TEN starters. Yes, ten. A good team would have made them look like fools.
