Would be curious to watch from a different view (behind Nico) how many times a guy was open but Nico ate it and it allowed pressure to get to him. The long play on the last drive was one such example even tho he was able to make something of it. Nico will be fine tho. Just needs to trust what he’s seeing and pull the trigger.

Will add that the quick pass was there but Heard also completely whiffed on the play.

Hardly seems to post and is fairly quiet during and after games this season, yet has 100+ posts since 10pm last night.

I’ve explained it before. I lurk and post occasionally but you guys only have a seizure and start quoting everything I say when it’s something negative. That turns in to back and fourths which of course leads to more posts.

Let’s be real it hurts mostly because we all deep down know we won’t reach the level of dominance we once had. Not by playing Bama and UGA permanently. SEC is a mega nfl like conference now. Difference it teams in the nfl make the playoffs at .500 and college it will never be that way. One bad weekend eliminates most teams.

Individuals get too caught up in the results of the game or games being watched. I myself get upset occasionally on a result of a sporting event but the next day I realize once again there's more important things in the World than a game. Like family and life in general.

Prime example is learning how I acted after a loss affecting my relationship with the lady. Embarrassing lol

We are watching the same 2 plays with Nico as we seen with Milton. Run up the middle and screen passes and maybe every once in a while try a deep pass. Ran off tackle for 15 yds and never ran it again. Heup letting 17 seconds run off the clock at the end with 2 timeouts was dumb. Of course we make their QB look like an all american. Our DBs were lost out there,they had players open all night.DBs still cant seem to get their heads turned around. Elarbe,WM and Halzle are the weak links on this staff.

Typically I just get pissed because I probably made a stupid bet. I break one of the betting golden rules consistently. Never bet your favorite teams.

Facts. Titans have burned me 2 times this year. Only bet on vols against NC state. Was watching the live line last night but never pulled the trigger

Titans/Vols/Braves I do all of them.

The Braves being ass screwed me hard this year.

I had -13.5 in several plays last night. MMA went well to recover tho.

folks we didn’t appreciate Darnell and Cade enough


Hendon ? CJH, Golesh and Joey I would say all helped him.
Oline? Hard to say Just two really talented guys the former staff got here.
Hyatt? Also a find by our previous staff but was developed by our current staff for sure.

I just don’t think there’s enough evidence to say 22 was only a great offense because of Golesh. Our oline was alright last year but Milton did not read the field very well. Limited the playbook. Now we have a freshman playing behind a struggling oline. Would Golesh draw up plays to overcome a flaw he never had to deal with? Maybe. But I doubt it. I think it’s CJHs offense, always has been, always will be. CJH and Joey are struggling this year, no doubt. Just don’t think it’s fair to act like they had nothing to do with 22 and it was Golesh. That’s just a coping method at this point.

Even against teams with equal talent, Golesh doesn’t always light up scoreboard at USF.

Why is the line struggling though? I don't think it's so Golesh but there is a development issue and it's been evident for the past two years, particularly at o line and wr.

Are we not recruiting well enough? Are we not developing the talent we have? Are play calls disjointed for another reason beyond struggling o line and young QB?

These are all good questions and it's a problem we're having to ask them at this point.

For the record I don't think it's any one thing. I think it's a combination of many different problems. I just think we miss Golesh and I thought we would from the get go.

I’d be ok if Etienne or Diggs either one could get a TD. Doubt it happens

Etienne came in with a shoulder injury, Bigsby is out carrying him today. I think it worse than they let on

Although I'm pissed Tank has scores twice today and I dropped him on my fantasy team last minute.

It’s correct. We got the ball with 1:17, a quick incomplete on first down. 2nd down was a short Nico scramble (no TO) third play was the deep pass to DT and we didn’t run another play till under 20 seconds left

That's crazy!
