Recruiting Football Talk VII

100% will not happen. Sankey will not allow the SEC to potentially not have two SEC teams in the playoff. We have no shot at beating UGA.

Flame away. But the corruption runs deep and y’all can believe it or not.

Then don’t watch the game when it comes that time.

 

[Volator]

What happens if one kickoff returner signals fair catch and the other returner is in the endzone runs it out; where is the ball placed?

Based on today’s game, it is where it is fielded so would it be a safety? Stupid rule imo.

 

[thistime]

We had 271 yards passing

175 in the first half was nice and a couple of great catches but in the end when we needed it in the second half, it just didn't happen. I know there had to be one but I can't remember one pass inside the hash marks for more than 5 yards. That is something we either don't have the confidence we can do or we simply chose not to but it seems to be missing this year for some reason.

 

[turdherder11]

I think we will

I like our chances vs uga at home. No Bowers for uga. He would straight up manhandle Banks defense. That's a grown ass man

 

[Smokey123]

So we won??

that’s irrelevant Mr strawman… We won last week… did Joe light up A&M?

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

We scored zero points in the second half. Zero. It’s like this place crowns Joe for good plays or a decent half. Yet struggles so much and it is forgotten like it didn’t happen.

I was thrilled he played decently the first half but he still sucked it up second half and it’s like let’s keep playing that guy. I don’t get it.

 

[BigOrange15]

After all the **** we went through since 2008, people acting like we are already too good for 8-4 or 9-3 are wild. You can't have that forever but we are WAY ahead of schedule and this was never an overnight job. We work our way up consistently and we will be in the mix most years. Especially with playoff expansion. Everyone just hold course.

Correct

 

[TheBigOne10]

Wonder if we can portal-swap Thornton for a proven commodity wideout? That one is truly perplexing.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Disagree.

Bama has played the 3rd best SOS
Georgia has played the 120th

Dawgs still have to beat someone good before I believe they are the best team.

K quote me at the end of the year. UGA is running the table.

 

[Big Orange#1]

answer. We don’t have a serious competitor behind center.

 

[VolMike16]

We will have a better idea, probably would help show whether we take 1 or 2 qbs in the portal, space providing. We already need one qb in the portal, cause I would hope Huep wouldn’t be complacent with having only 2 scholarship qbs on the roster

We won't have a better idea. Some of y'all act like Nico is the final answer. More than likely will have 3-4 new starters on the OL. Squirrel the only for sure threat at receiver. Bru may not be back. Have to replace 2 TEs. Wright is probably gone. Defense should be even better. It's not cut and dry.

 

[Smokey123]

Nah Dobbs was much more of a QB

I mean in the sense we beat ourselves a lot and could have had a much better season than we did

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Yeah, officials dictated the game in the 2nd half, lets bench Joe.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Then don’t watch the game when it comes that time.

I’ll watch but I know what will happen. This place will convince themselves we will win just like today when everyone knows deep down what will happen. Can’t beat BHam

 

[turdherder11]

You and me both, Enki. Team just has to choose to let this disappointment galvanize them. You’d have to be smoking some damn good stuff to not look at a 9-3 (or even 10-2) year as a hell of a feat with this group. Keep chopping wood.

After the UF game it's was hard seeing this team going 9-3 . The A&M and USCjr wins were big. Still won't be surprised if we lose to uga but going 4-1 the rest of the way would be huge.

 

[Orange.]

Like I said inconsistent. We had 20 points(shoulda been more) and 275 yards in the first half vs bama. A bad offense doesn’t do that

I will agree we’re a bad redzone offense

We had 2 TDs denied by crooked calls in the first quarter. That was the red zone "problem." On the first, blatant holding on Bama rendered our receiver unable to catch a perfect throw in the endzone. The second TD that the Birmingham Alabama office stole was also PI. And there were many other cases.

You can look at the game thread and it will refresh your memory. I seem to recall you yourself noting these things at the time.

There is a weird psychological effect whereby the truly historic level of game rigging in the second half seems to have obstructed memories of how outstandingly much rigging occurred in the first half.

It was in the late first half when I was called by a non-Vol fan relative in FL who said the first half was the most one-sided officiating he had ever seen in his entire life.

That's because the second half hadn't yet broken all-time rigging records.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

K quote me at the end of the year. UGA is running the table.

They may do it, I just wanna see it first

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Yeah, officials dictated the game in the 2nd half, lets bench Joe.

So you would rather go 7-5 or 8-4 with Joe or get the same record with Nico just to not bench him? Nico needs all the reps he can get to win next year. The longer he sits on the bench, the more time he needs next year to get accumulated.

Who cares about what bowl game we get now with the playoff. It means nothing.

 

[GVol1966]

Is this not a place where we discuss our opinions?

Yep but we all know yours already, after the first dozen times you posted it .
No need to keep posting it every other page ,, Unless you got some new info to back it up.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Just because......

 

[TheBigOne10]

At least Tony V will avenge us with a SEC opening sweep over the Gumps in Tuscaloosa in the Spring.

 

[turdherder11]

Yeah, officials dictated the game in the 2nd half, lets bench Joe.

Heupel has already started the worse qb once before. Joe over Hendo. No reason why he won't do it again. Think about it...we don't see Hendo if Joe doesn't get hurt.

There was bad missed calls absolutely…. We’ve been a bad redzone offense all year

Maybe to you. You are nothing more than a fan. I guarantee it means a lot to the players who have worked to turn this team into something more than a 3-7 team.

2 losses. The bench joe crowd sounds like a bunch of meth-addicted clowns. The Orange Bowl meant a lot to a lot of people and we can still make any NY6 bowl.
