So we have to just assume we won't ever get a holding call go our way the rest of the season.

Nico has regressed, but the Oline is the main issue, Heard is making too much money for half-ass, inconsistent play, no matter the reason.

This veteran Oline sucks in year 4, Oline coach needs to be gone and replaced. Very disappointed in the fact that we have so much talent on this roster to have to go to OT to beat a bad FL team at home, and yes, we beat ourselves almost every series, but FL also made horrible decisions that caused them to lose.

Play calling last night, and last week, was very bad and very predictable. It's gotten worse as the season has progressed.

Nico looked good against bad competition, but we are seeing a RS Freshman now and for the remainder... he will get better. The Oline MUST get better.

Defense saved our tails and won the game. Boo and others stepped up.

We are in big trouble if Pili is out for extended time or the season. Big trouble.

Absolutely no reason Matthews should not be out there.

We are no where near a playoff team.

We will get hammered by AL this coming weekend and quite possibly will end up 7-5 / 8-4 best scenario. Quite a difference to everyone and the media lauding us and propping us up the first few games of the season.

It is what it is unfortunately. Empty the NIL bank on Oline in the offseason, get two LB's, and we should be good to go next year.

Hoping this staff has not maxed itself out now that folks have figured out how to defend our offense.

Praying we can keep who we have committed until signing day with the amount of potential L's coming our way unless things drastically change.

Vandy and KY are going to be dogfights and AL/GA are just L's...

Lmao just go ahead and put your house on Alabama at -10 then. Will wait to see your post with such confidence in knowing they'll drag us.

They barely scraped by USCjr AT HOME after losing to Vandy 😅

I just realized that we will not stand a chance against Bama. If we thought the refereeing was egregious so far, wait until Saturday when Bama cannot lose another game right now, as that would put them on the cusp of being out of the playoffs, especially with who they have left on the schedule.

Feel like our offense was in a groove on the first drive (fumble) & third drive (3 straight sacks) prior to those instances...I saw some resemblance to the 2022 offense before the critical mistakes killed the drives

Those 3 sacks were 1) Lampley & Bishop missed blocks, 2) Heard missed block, 3) I think everybody missed their blocks...

I wish one of those 3 sack plays were called for a rush or at least a HB draw on that 3rd & 25

Lol 🗑

Yeah Alabama and Georgia are playing so well! 🤡

No, they absolutely are not playing well--- which makes it worse with how we match up... Milroe will eat our lunch... That's why I said losing Pili is such a big loss... So you're telling me after last night you are confident we will beat bama this coming week? Take your orange glasses off...🤡

We have to go to OT at home against Billy, but we are going to beat bama..... okay.

Did you see them vs USCjr?

If there ever was a conspiracy in their favor, it is long gone now lmao.


I do hope we keep up that tempo we saw in the 2nd half. We need that competitive advantage.

Think we can win as long as we complete 1-2 long shots and defense continues to bow up (how sustainable that is...I'm honestly not sure, would feel better if we were better between the 20s).

The camera was obstructed by a defender. His foot went way out of bounds before lunging.

Yes, he stepped out and did not get the first down. However, it was still spotted a full yard short of where it should have been. Of course, relatively speaking, that’s a favorable call for us.

i'm not a Fulmer fan but Fulmer had to coach against some great Florida teams coached by Spurrier. Heupel has not faced such good Florida teams but mediocre FLA teams coached by second rate coaches

I agree, he had to coach against great Florida teams, but we still haven't been able to beat their worst. So in his favor, Hype has a winning record against Florida, AND beat Saban, who is definitely an excellent coach.

and we barely got by Billy at home in OT and got beat by Arky... guess you didn't see the game last night or last week...

love to hear why and how you think we'll beat bama... I'll hang up and listen... Show me where we have a glaring advantage--- Love how you are putting words in my mouth, where did I say they will "drag us"... get over yourself. Could be close, but just don't see it right now, GA either.

Have you watched them? They almost lost to usc at home and did lose to Vandy. You're just focusing on our deficiencies without comparing them to their deficiencies.

And neyland is going to be rocking. Bama is very beatable. I don't know that anyone is calling that game a win, but the defeatist attitude is definitely not warranted.

You heard it here first, 7-5/8-4 best case scenario (wait...which is it? After all, it's a BEST case scenario...how did we get 2 options? 😅😅😅)
Click to expand...
showing your ignorance...

we may end up 7-5 / or 8-4 would be best case scenario... do you not understand? I can slow it down and maybe you'll catch on...



this is why folks leave this site... someone has an opinion that doesn't fit the 12-0, and get jumped... it's hilarious...

Now switch it up...



Bama talking about us--- Have you watch them (TN)? They almost lost to a bad FL team at home in OT and did lose to Arky... You're just focusing on our deficiencies without comparing them to their deficiencies...

Bad opinions are bad though. I can guarantee you that we aren’t going 12-0. You love to focus on the negative.

Guess not.

1) You said BEST case scenario. And yet you gave 2 different scenarios...

2) So we aren't capable of winning 9 games? Is that a statistical impossibility now?
