Recruiting Football Talk VII

[VOLED]

I just want the game called fair and evenly, and if Tennessee loses, so be it.

Agreed. If we lose, we lose. Corruption everywhere.

 

[JCP201]

aww, he just wanted a hug.. Nothing to see here:

 

[volbeast33]

I know the refs were bad but the coaches lost this game and Halzle sucks.

you mean Heupel? He is the one calling the plays.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

we were playing one of the best defenses in the country…. you can’t expect to score TDs every time…. we did have a 13 point lead that our defense gave up immediately.

Good thing we didn’t score any in the second half. Zero help from the offense after halftime.

 

[JT3]

Coaching definitely wasn't the smartest this game. That's for damn sure.

 

[BigSteve09]

Alright folks, let's play a game.

Right now, we are averaging 8 penalties, 69.2 yards/game
Our opponents are averaging 6.2 penalties, 46.7 yards/game

How many penalties will we have on Saturday, and how many will Alabama have?

I'm going to say 11 for us, 5 for them

Well guys, everyone who replied to this lost

Final tally...

8 to 1

 

[mrMet]

Well I had moonshine and beer so we sucked second half and I have plenty. But damn

You’re not over here blaming the **** show second half on one single guy lol

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

At least he loosely admits they are dumb AF

 

[VolByLaw]

Idk how much we are paying Donte Thornton, but it is too much.

 

[tnvolsman]

Milton is not the reason we loss, but he is also not a game changer. We are just limited on offense. I also think this is the second week in a row where I have really questioned the coach’s decisions. I also think we went conservative on defense in the 2nd half. That said, I love this coaching staff. I think coach is still relatively young and can grow from these experiences.

 

[BigSteve09]

I think I would sell my own soul for Alabama to go through what we did from 2005-2022

I would take so much pleasure in seeing them melt down so many times over

 

[RikidyBones]

Coaching was terrible, everything was terrible in the second half

Yup.

I’m sure you wre yelling at your family how great Joe was the first 30 min of game

Joe completed 68% of his passes for 271 yds 2 TDs and 0 ints….. He also ran for 59 yds…. I’m not a big Joe supporter anymore but it is ridiculous to blame him for this outcome.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Gotta beat Kentucky and Mizzou. Must. Get to 9-3 and keep our trajectory going. And f*** Alabama and the Birmingham office!!

 

[tnvolsman]

No. I was saying who is this guy.

 

[SpringBokVol]

aww, he just wanted a hug.. Nothing to see here: View attachment 589410

You don’t call this and then you see them call the touch holding call on Gabe Jeudy Laly late on a critical 3rd down. I got real mad there.

 

[csprig9]

uk- L
mizzou- L
uga- L

Lol

While those will be tough games
Imo
UGA is maybe our last remaining loss

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Idk how much we are paying Donte Thornton, but it is too much.

Dude hasn't even earned a scholarship, much less any NIL money.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I don’t blame Joe for this loss. I don’t blame Joe for the Florida loss either, really. Whether it’s fair or not, I’m just exhausted and tired of watching the Joe Milton offense. 20 or fewer points in 3 of our 4 SEC games so far. I am aware that nothing is going to change this season, but not exactly confident in going on the road two more times and magically playing better.

I literally said he is not the reason we loss.

 

[PKT_VOL]

When thinking about officiating, it is inadequate to think merely about a "missed" call on a particular play. Rarely do you lose because of a single missed call.

However, when there is a complete capitulation to call whole categories of infractions which simultaneously negate your biggest strength and the opposing team's greatest weakness, it completely alters the game.

Milton isn't going to win games for you when you can't run the ball. He misses wide open WRs in critical moments, he's just now running the ball (only in the 1st half today), and had a turnover today holding the ball too long. Nimrod was running wide open on a crucial 3rd down and joe chose a check down to a slow TE, also took a check down with zero seconds on the clock instead of trying for a TD.

At this point, joe is what he is. He isn't going to win games for you. He's in his 6th year. We gotta 8mill qb riding the bench, I'd get every dime I could out of him. Protect him.......hell no son, this is a business and you're making big boy $. Your ass is playing. I don't get protecting a qb making that kind of money, I'd get every ounce of football I could out of him. He rides the bench this year and only plays for 2 seasons. That's a hell of a paid day .

He is the reason we didn’t score a TD on 3 or more redzone visits. So yes he sort of is the reason we lost. Not to mention his Sack Fumble for a TD where he held the ball for 6 years staring down two receivers who weren’t open, thinking they would eventually get open?

Then Squirrel was held on the last drive. People suggesting the officials don’t matter are hogwash. Calls directly led to points (or not) in this game.
