This year's losses looking better

If you really want to look at it this way then you also have to admit that none of the wins really look good much less great.

The Florida loss was horrendous and that really set the tone for the rest of the season unfortunately.

As the bowl season rolls on, our losses (other than the ridiculous one @ UF) are looking better and should help us in the final ranking as long as we beat Iowa.

No losses are good when you are a contender. UT should expect to win every one and be disappointed when it doesn’t work out

The same people with the weird tough guy speak of “no loss is a good loss” would be here telling all of us how bad our Missouri loss was if they had gotten beat today

TA&M and Kentucky were both good wins.

Right. Because A&M and Kentucky were really good teams.

You're playing a pathetically disingenuous game where you attempt to pretend every team short of Bama and Georgia isn't "good".

It's insanely dumb. Yes, both of those were good teams. Both would've been 8 win teams if we weren't in their way.

I don’t think I’d be too upset over this season if we hadn’t made Florida look like an NFL team but hey, that’s how we roll.

Not true. LSU, ole miss, Mizzu all good. A&M fired their coach before the season was over. Kentucky is decent but come on

Florida was terrible.
Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri mashed our faces in.

Nothing about any of them was "Good" despite three of those teams being excellent. Those good teams and a terrible team beat the boys around badly. Tennessee wasn't even on the same level with them so what they went on to do to good teams after making Tennessee lick the white dog **** is irrelevant to me.

We were handling Bama until the second half. So they didn’t really mash our faces in. UGA and Missouri did. UF was just a game lost because of injuries.

We should beat Kentucky and there is nothing that indicates that a loss to them is just more than a blip on the radar.

As far as A&M is concerned they fired their coach they were playing so bad, so I have to respectfully disagree with you saying that either much less both were good wins.

That Mizzou loss still doesn’t look good no matter what. That was the worst performance under Heupel and I hope to never see anything like that again. The team didn’t even show up.

I think by that point in the year, it was just obvious what we were going to be limited to offensively, so long as Milton was playing. It’s crazy how when the team doesn’t believe in the guy back there… None of them play as well as they are capable of.

Mizzou game this year just like South Crackolins game last year… zero effort on D smh 🤦‍♂️

I don't disagree that the D wasn't great, but for some reason fans have somewhat given the offense a pass this season. There were many stretches the offense just disappeared (mostly in the second half of games).

The Vols were one amazing catch by Thornton from getting completely shut out by Mizzou.

I think the offense put a ton of pressure on the D this season.

They fired their coach because “good” isn’t what they were paying him for. Not because they were bad.
