The Official #17/15 Tennessee vs. #11 Alabama Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

I'll let you know when I feel the need to get your approval for expressing my beliefs. My prediction is that that will be never.

Typical class act on a football board. Smh

Play calling, defensive allignment, making dumb choices like calling inside runs on 4th and 1 in your own territory when a score gives them the lead on the road. Conservative out of the half. Getting punked by zebras weekly. Call their ass out. Send it to whoever you have to. Congress would love a piece of that pie. Sure the FBI can identify payrolls and subpoena replay discussions etc. The system is broken in regards to officiating. But the reason we lost is because we didnt finish the game. We played like we were scared in the 2nd half. And yes it is absolutely at the head mans feet. We completely went away from what we were doing in the first half.

All day long!

Yall wait and see. Bama will win the SEC.

They may. It will be because the conference isn't as good this year.

 

[BleedOrange81]

Georgia and Mizzou will have their way with us

Cats also

Sweet Jesus, drink some water and step back from the ledge.

Got outscored 27-0 in the second half. That's why we lost.. The refs just weren't going to call holding on Bama..

I saw at least seven times tugging our jerseys and shoulder pads. But we are all aware that’s going to happen before the game starts. You have to overcome those dark moments the refs allow. This one is on CJH for calling two aggressively on fourth down. We are not converting on 4th and short this year. Especially when we call a horrible play. We handed momentum we had stolen back over to them, in their house. We were better but definitely got out coached today.

What sucks is we had a great game plan that the kids executed very well. Unfortunately they also had to overcome the officiating and play flawless which everyone knows isn’t possible. This is the most blatant fixed game I’ve seen in a long long time, if ever.

I'm with you on the game being fixed part. The game plan for the first half was fine; the second half plan, if there was one, was pretty much cow manure.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

Well truth be known this team really hasn't played a complete game all year. I'd say that is going to continue.. They are what they are at this point, a mid pack team.

That's really disappointing from a team with so many seniors as starters

Get off the computer, Bammer, your sister's getting impatient.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Maybe if we start Nico, we won’t have to run the Fisher-Price version of the offense?

Actually I would bet my paycheck he doesn't know the whole playbook and it is doubtful that he can execute correctly half what Joe can at this point. Hell he cant even hit the warm up tosses before games with routes on air. He will, he's just not ready to be the guy.

That’s funny right there.

 

[Cartervol]

So you have us beating both Mizz and KY or splitting and beating UGA?

Yeah that's bold with what we've witnessed on the road.. I mean as inconsistent as they are I just don't see it. Coaching is bad at times and the team stops playing at certain points.

 

[JRich]

Tennessee will easily be 9-3. You guys are hilarious.

We’ll see. 8-4 is more likely, but 7-5 could happen if they are not ready for UK.

UT is pedestrian right now.

I’m laughing at you, not with you btw.

 

[Chickenfarmer]

Thornton should turn his pads in tonight. We wasted a Scholarship on him. He should be the director of the World Health Organization next time a pandemic breaks out. He couldn’t catch a cold much less a pass! Go Vols

 

[NO SIR EEE]

We’ll see. 8-4 is more likely, but 7-5 could happen if they are not ready for UK.

I know damn well none of you actually think Kentucky is good lol

 

[EastTNVol6240]

So you think Kentucky and Missouri is gonna beat us? Let’s bet rn lol

I could see us dropping one of those. We’ve not inflicted our will on anyone if you haven’t noticed…..

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

So you have us beating both Mizz and KY or splitting and beating UGA?

We’re never going to win another game!!

 

[Cartervol]

That's really disappointing from a team with so many seniors as starters

Hell some of it is coaching..

 

[Caz]

I know damn well none of you actually think Kentucky is good lol

We can not play on the road.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

I know damn well none of you actually think Kentucky is good lol

Do you think we are?

 

[Butch s]

Wait - is that that mysterious, seldom-run play called the QB sneak you refer to? Doesn't that require a skinny old guy in his mid-40's to run successfully? No way that play would work with a 6'5", 235-lb. guy in his twenties that's built like a Mack truck. Much smarter to snap the ball shotgun so he has further to run and the defense has more room and time to stop him.

4th and 1 becomes 4th and 6 with a run from shotgun. Quick snap, qb sneak wins every time

 

[NO SIR EEE]

Do you think we are?

We’re better than that dumpster fire

 

[BigALWiLson]

Show us our base defence.. teach us ole boys something. Going for it with one yd close to midfield when we need a spark is dumb coaching? Would it have been if we made it? I would say things like the tackle getting beat bad on Joes fumble didn’t help matters. I would say the DB’s not switching off on the long TD didn’t help. Was those two plays on the coaches? Those two plays cost us 14 points. The strange fair catch ended up costing us 3 points, thats 17 points that ain’t got a dam thing to do with coaching.

You don't go for it. You punt and play defense. You call ***** plays that they don't expect. So yes I would say it was ***** stupid. Just like last week not taking the field goals. Has a history of this. It's ok to be ballsy at times. That wasn't a have to moment.

They will beat Ky. Ga is an ass whipping. Missouri is a nail biter.
