[MaroonFlounder]

Yeah, it's not like this team would be 5-2 with Williams or Tiano under center. Who are we supposed to play? Malik Dear at wildcat?

[Turfdawg67]

Defense is disappointing, but hardly more than the offense...

Total offense -- 10th in sec
Total defense -- 6th in sec

Scoring offense -- 10th in sec
Scoring defense -- 9th in sec

Don't care what those stats mean... 309 yds to Samford in the first HALF!

[MarketingBully]

Mixon and Dear are two huge bright spots that we can build off of.

[msstate7]

Green looks like a good weapon in passing game

[MaroonFlounder]

Fitz is leading a really good drive right now. And the only negative play was when he didn't get any blocking on the last keeper.

[MarketingBully]

Great opening drive in the second half. 35-20 MSU.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Nice drive. 99 yards

[BrunswickDawg]

Oh yeah, we are using him incorrectly and this Dak raid offense is really shitty to use him in but that is what Dan is choosing to do. Fitz has the tools but has been extremely slow to translate them into the game. We have said all freaking year that our best chance to win is using Fitz in the Relf Offense. I was on the Fitz bandwagon early because I saw what you did in all of the tools however he still is making a lot of the same mistakes he made in games 1 and 2 and I don't see him learning from those. He makes great plays and then will make boneheaded plays.
And what you are talking about is on Dan - which is why you got called out for calling Fitz an ahole. For what ever reason, Dan has decided that what worked in developing Relf into a competent QB and developed Dak into incredible QB is not the system he is going to run anymore. He wants a pass first QB behind a matador OL, and a spongy D that can't tackle.

[msstate7]

Don't care what those stats mean... 309 yds to Stamford in the first HALF!

Held usce to 243 and byu 311. Lsu around 370. Again not saying we have a great defense, but USA, byu, and lsu losses on offense. Kentucky on defense

[Turfdawg67]

A Williams with the block! Two in a row!

[msbulldog]

Brandon Bryant needs to be processed he just gave them that TD!

[Red Sox Dawg]

Wow. This defense, what can you say.

[msstate7]

Brandon Bryant needs to be processed

[trob115]

Loaf count for BB: 8 and is probably higher. I've lost count.

[HancockCountyDog]

Brandon Bryant should be ashamed of himself.

[Quaoarsking]

That blocked XP may turn out to be big.

And I hate that I just had to write that.

[RougeDawg]

Wtf was Durr doing there? Looked like our OL barely getting a hand on his man.

[msstate7]

Brandon Bryant should be ashamed of himself.

Sophomore with lots of JUCOs coming in... tell em to move on.

[MarketingBully]

All you can do is laugh at the defense. Is anyone going to watch the next four games? Basketball can't get here fast enough.

[BankerDog]

All of that talking Brandon Bryant did before the year of "This is how I'm gonna dress and walk in to spring camp in the NFL" and all of his other NFL crap is laughable now. He plays with ZERO effort and heart.

[MarketingBully]

Sophomore with lots of JUCOs coming in... tell em to move on.

This is where our offense will stall. At least that is what it has done all year long. Please Fitz lead this team to TDs on every drive this second half. Please lead this crappy team.

[msstate7]

Thank you, ward

[Cloak]

Thank you, ward

The "fight" at least shows some emotion from Ward..

[Red Sox Dawg]

Donald Gray doing work!

[MarketingBully]

Gray has helped Fitz today too. Great TD there!

[msbulldog]

Thank you, ward

We need more players like Ward, walked on, earned his scholarship and appreciates it!

[Quaoarsking]

That's 5 passing TDs for Fitzgerald today, tying the school record Dak set last year against Arkansas.
That's 3 receiving TDs for Gray today, tying the school record held by Sammy Milner (1969 Florida) and Chad Bumphis (2012 Troy)

Gray is 13 yards away from tying Jameon Lewis's record of 220 receiving yards in a game (2013 Rice)

[BulldogBear]

Gray has helped Fitz today too. Great TD there!

That's the kind of play I've been waiting to see him make! Go up and get it Bulldog! Just say "No" to interceptions!

[Turfdawg67]

Thank you, ward

Who was he fighting? Bryant I hope!

[MarketingBully]

That's 5 passing TDs for Fitzgerald today, tying the school record Dak set last year against Arkansas.

Gray is 13 yards away from tying Jameon Lewis's record of 220 receiving yards in a game (2013 Rice)

I have a feeling all of those records will go down today. Still have a quarter and a half to go.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Oh no.

[msstate7]

That's 5 passing TDs for Fitzgerald today, tying the school record Dak set last year against Arkansas.

Q, you are the man when it comes to miss state records. Good research

[Red Sox Dawg]

Wow Smitherman took a bad hit.

[msstate7]

Who was he fighting? Bryant I hope!

Durr

[msbulldog]

Who was he fighting? Bryant I hope!

Durr.

[Bothrops]

Smitherman looks done

[Red Sox Dawg]

We need to try something different on defense.

[msbulldog]

Smokey broke that pass up. Smitherman intercepted, hope he's not hurt bad.

[WSOPdawg]

And there's the obligatory Brandon Bryant over-running and then non-chalantly running in an attempt to catch up (NOT!!!)

[MarketingBully]

Jiles with a good play.

[msbulldog]

Good for Ward!

[MarketingBully]

Our secondary is intercepting some passes. :)

[Red Sox Dawg]

Touchdown Ward.

[Bothrops]

Defensive player of the game is walk on #28 DeAndre Ward. One of our best players.

[msbulldog]

And there's the obligatory Brandon Bryant over-running and then non-chalantly running in an attempt to catch up (NOT!!!)

PROCESS HIM!

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Defensive player of the game is walk on #28 DeAndre Ward. One of our best players.

He doesn't have exceptional talent. But he plays harder than most out there.

[Red Sox Dawg]

We need to score at least one more time. They will keep scoring if we play the same defense.

[Bully13]

Wow

[Red Sox Dawg]

That didn't take long.

[TrapGame]

Our defense is worse than our offensive line.

[msbulldog]

TD and who was covering Brandon Bryant, put his ass on the pine!

[msstate7]

Hail state!!!!
























Lol

[Red Sox Dawg]

There is just not much you can say about this defense.

[Red Sox Dawg]

We may have to score 70 to win this one.

[BrunswickDawg]

Nick Gibson sighting

[msstate7]

I'm torn on Sirmon. I think switching to a 3-4 should take more than 1 season, but we're really regressing the last 2 weeks. If this slide continues, I think you may have to go with a new DC that runs 4-3

[Bothrops]

He doesn't have exceptional talent. But he plays harder than most out there.

He's better than several of our players on defense.

[MarketingBully]

A 21 yard punt....

[Coursesuper]

I'm torn on Sirmon. I think switching to a 3-4 should take more than 1 season, but we're really regressing the last 2 weeks. If this slide continues, I think you may have to go with a new DC that runs 4-3

What you line up doesn't mean a thing when you don't play with effort. There is not much effort out there from some key players not all but several. Defense is about effort every play.

[WSOPdawg]

14 pass completions for 333 yards and 5 TDs... un-damn-believable!!!

[MarketingBully]

What you line up doesn't mean a thing when you don't play with effort. There is not much effort out there from dome key players not all but several.

Isn't that coaching though? You have to get your players to play with effort.

[Red Sox Dawg]

This QB is shredding us. We need to make a play. Does it seem we are going backwards on Defense?

[msstate7]

What you line up doesn't mean a thing when you don't play with effort. There is not much effort out there from some key players not all but several. Defense is about effort every play.

He decides who plays though. If you see Bryant not playing hard, sit him

[Coursesuper]

Isn't that coaching though? You have to get your players to play with effort.

You can't make them play you can only put them in position to make plays. Now who is playing is on the coaches.

[Bothrops]

This QB is shredding us. We need to make a play. Does it seem we are going backwards on Defense?

Yeah we've been getting worse every game

[msbulldog]

Isn't that coaching though? You have to get your players to play with effort.

Yeah, first thing they need to do is bench Brandon Bryant, he is a waste of space.

[Coursesuper]

He decides who plays though. If you see Bryant not playing hard, sit him

Bryant isn't the only one not playing hard.

[msstate7]

Bryant isn't the only one not playing hard.

He's one though... yet he continues to play

[HereComesTheSpiral]

There's a lot of quit in this team

[phatdog]

The D coaching staff absolutely sucks.

[msbulldog]

Bryant isn't the only one not playing hard.

Then bench them too. That would solve these so-called locker room issues.

[RocketDawg]

We may lose this game ....

[bobtail bob]

They will score 28 more the way they are picking yards in chunks.....

[msstate7]

Im not apologizing for Sirmon anymore

[Red Sox Dawg]

Just WOW! 41 points on a SEC Defense.

[Five-tool Poster]

Just WOW! 41 points on a SEC Defense.

They're not done yet.

[Coursesuper]

If we don't score here we lose.

[RocketDawg]

Just WOW! 41 points on a SEC Defense.

Well ... not exactly ....

[HancockCountyDog]

Almost 600 yards of offense in almost 3 quarters

[bobtail bob]

Just WOW! 41 points on a SEC Defense.

sposed to be......

[TrapGame]

Worse in year 8 than year 1. smh.

[MarketingBully]

This is a ballgame folks. And it may come down to Fitz having to win the game for us. Let's just say I have no faith in this team if it does happen.

[Maroonthirteen]

I'm here. Section 22. So that more than. Qualities me to say this.....

aTm and OM will hang 100 on this defense if they want. Samford is smaller and less talented than both OM and aTm.

[Treemydawg]

Well ... not exactly ....

ISWYDT

[WSOPdawg]

They're not done yet.

and will top 600 yards of offense!!!

[bobtail bob]

Futz hurt ?

[msstate7]

I would not be opposed to firing Sirmon and going with Brian baker as interim DC. My biggest problem with Sirmon right now is continuing to play players that have obviously quit on the team

[bobtail bob]

He give bim the flyin samoan headbutt....

[RocketDawg]

Futz hurt ?

Ankle is tweaked. If you meant from the targeting, not sure.,

[MedDawg]

That's the definition of targeting right there

[MarketingBully]

We can't deal with prosperity on this team. I was thinking a good ole holding penalty was going to get called on this drive.

[Turfdawg67]

I would not be opposed to firing Sirmon and going with Brian baker as interim DC. My biggest problem with Sirmon right now is continuing to play players that have obviously quit on the team

Baker?!? The man has the most talent on the team and has done squat with it!

[msbulldog]

Fitz is one tough dude.

[MarketingBully]

Why run Fitz with a tweaked ankle in the red zone? Dumb, dumb, and dumb.

[msbulldog]

Shit!

[BrunswickDawg]

Jesus Graves

[Quaoarsking]

Fitz now at 499 yards of total offense.

That's 3rd in school history, behind Dak (500 against Georgia Tech 2014 and 554 against Arkansas 2015).

[RocketDawg]

Good grief, we need a kicker ....

[MarketingBully]

Can you believe this shit....

[Bully13]

Wow...zero

[msstate7]

Baker?!? The man has the most talent on the team and has done squat with it!

Only def coach with coordinating experience

[Treemydawg]

**** you Dan.

[MarketingBully]

Fitz now at 499 yards of total offense.

That's 3rd in school history, behind Dak (500 against Georgia Tech 2014 and 554 against Arkansas 2015).

Won't mean shit if we lose this game.

[Maroonthirteen]

I said weeks ago. The stage is too big for the place kicker.

Samford bench acts like they just won the game. Chest bumping all around. Haha haha!

[msstate7]

Graves may have cost us another game... he's currently at 2

[RocketDawg]

Fitz now at 499 yards of total offense.

That's 3rd in school history, behind Dak (500 against Georgia Tech 2014 and 554 against Arkansas 2015).

I actually think he's played a pretty good game. At least he's given lots of effort, which is much more than you can say about just about everybody on defense.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Graves is jinxed.

[Political Hack]

Fitz now at 499 yards of total offense.

That's 3rd in school history, behind Dak (500 against Georgia Tech 2014 and 554 against Arkansas 2015).

He's going to have to break that for us to beat Samford.

[MarketingBully]

Dan is playing those kickers hurt. That has been the excuse for their shittiness. Man, Dan needs to be fired fired fired.

[drummerdawg]

Anybody notice that if one of our players has a successful play, we almost always give the ball to that same player the very next play?

[BulldogBear]

He missed it. Holy Sheit balls Batman.

[Bothrops]

Good grief, we need a kicker ....

And a new defensive coordinator

And a new Safeties coach

And a new Offensive line coach

And a new Running backs coach

And a new Head coach

[Coursesuper]

Graves may have cost us another game... he's currently at 2

He missed the kick but there are 20 more plays that will have lost this game.

[JoseBrown]

Graves may have cost us another game... he's currently at 2

He is the opposite of Westerfield.

[Turfdawg67]

Look, he may be a great kid... so I say this with love, Graves needs to be processed too. For the love of all that's holy...

[BulldogBear]

Delete

[Irondawg]

Had a single player in this team improved from last year?

[SapperDawg]

No grit. This team has zero grit.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Can't believe I'm saying this but good stop defense

[bobtail bob]

It was the ankle. I didn't catch it

[msstate7]

He missed the kick but there are 20 more plays that will have lost this game.

Not disagreeing, but he's missing HS kicks

[Turfdawg67]

He missed the kick but there are 20 more plays that will have lost this game.

He's a kicker! He's got one freaking job!! It's not like he's missing 55 yarders. He sucks!

[MarketingBully]

He missed the kick but there are 20 more plays that will have lost this game.

Whatever man, he is one of the worst PK'ers Dan has had and he has missed every kick that could have meant something for us. Just terrible all the way around.

[BulldogBear]

Gotta score here

[msstate7]

Gotta score here

I agree and it's so pathetic I can quit laughing

[ElectroDawg]

Reverse???

[msstate7]

Ross didn't even try to get 1st down

[BulldogBear]

For those not watching, Ross now owns record for most 100yd receiving games in career at 9.


ETA: at MSU

[ElectroDawg]

And a new defensive coordinator

And a new Safeties coach

And a new Offensive line coach

And a new Running backs coach

And a new Head coach

Add Offensive Coordinator

[JoseBrown]

Will Dan let Fitz try to break Daks record? Obviously not there since 1st n goal....

[Coursesuper]

Whatever man, he is one of the worst PK'ers Dan has had and he has missed every kick that could have meant something for us. Just terrible all the way around.

You know absolutely dick about football.

[msbulldog]

Fumblerooski, I have seen it all now.

[RocketDawg]

Quite a leap by Fitz.

[BulldogBear]

See Futz. See Futz score. Score Futz score.

[Quaoarsking]

7 total touchdowns for Fitz today, tying Dak's record.

Should be 8, but whatever.

[MarketingBully]

You know absolutely dick about football.

Oh yes, you're right. Who gives a shit that our PK sucks and our team sucks but I don't know dick about football. Like you do....

[MarketingBully]

7 total touchdowns for Fitz today, tying Dak's record.

Should be 8, but whatever.

And the sad thing is we needed every single one of them to win against Samford.

[RocketDawg]

Did they announce the official attendance?

[msstate7]

7 total touchdowns for Fitz today, tying Dak's record.

Should be 8, but whatever.

Great effort by fitz, but no team dak was on would have been bad enough to let dak play a whole game

[BrunswickDawg]

This team is so frustrating, even my cat has started drinking

Lol

[Coursesuper]

We are playing an a FCS team and should be up by 35 or more missing a kick may have been a key play but there are 20 other lack of effort plays that would have lost this game. Yes I played longer than you and I officiated for more than 15 years, I've seen a few football games. And yes we are a shitty football team.

Now that's Cathead Vodka!

[BulldogBear]

Are we going to find a way to lose this game or limp to a victory?

Mercy, this is what we've come to. I want some of whatever Brunswick's cat is having.

[MarketingBully]

It doesn't change the fact that our place kicker sucks and missing kicks has cost us games this year. Sure, we should never be at this point in any game I agree with you there. But when we were and the game was on the line, he has sucked and missed field goals. If he makes 28 yard kicks, we are 5-3 right now even as shittily as we played in those games. Think about that. It doesn't take a high IQ of watching football that him missing kicks has cost us games this year. BYU and South Alabama are great great examples of this.

[RocketDawg]

Fitz doesn't look too happy with the game either. He knows it's a moral loss.

[Dawgface]

Someone should start a poll on the over/under on total points allowed over the last 4 games. I'm thinking 220 is a nice even number.

[Coursesuper]

Thought you said Fitz lost us those games...

[Bully13]

Samfords qb had a record day against us. Samford. This entire defense should be ashamed. Players, coaches, the whole lot. I see 3-9.

[Quaoarsking]

Fitz and Ross did their choreographed high-5/dance thing again. That's not something people who hate each other do.

[Dawgface]

Samfords qb had a record day against us. Samford. This entire defense should be ashamed. Players, coaches, the whole lot. I see 3-9.

You can engrave 3-9 in stone. No more wins this year.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Looks like we are going to get the victory but man do we have some things we need to get better at.
I really like the way Nick Gibson looks, I hope he gets more carries.

[MarketingBully]

Fitz doesn't look too happy with the game either. He knows it's a moral loss.

Our team (offense and defense) has got to get on the same page for a whole game. It can't be one executing and the other sucking. They both have to play well at the same time consistently. The biggest problem we have though going for us right now is now we enter our toughest stretch of the season and we are 3-5. All signs point to us finishing 3-9; however who knows maybe we can get one or two upsets if the lights come on for everyone. It sucks a lot because we screwed it up playing and losing to teams like South Alabama, BYU, and Kentucky. If we play just average, we should be 6-2 at this point.

[Dawgface]

Looks like we are going to get the victory but man do we have some things we need to get better at.
I really like the way Nick Gibson looks, I hope he gets more carries.

Can you come up with anything that we have improved in since the South AL game? This was suppose to be a rebuilding year but we haven't done jack shit this year to lead anyone to believe we will be better next year.

[GreenheadDawg]

Honest question... is this the worst defense ever in the SEC?

[Red Sox Dawg]

Can you come up with anything that we have improved in since the South AL game? This was suppose to be a rebuilding year but we haven't done jack shit this year to lead anyone to believe we will be better next year.

No, I can't. That's why I said we had a lot of things to get better at.
The question I have is why haven't we gotten better?

[Todd4State]

No, I can't. That's why I said we had a lot of things to get better at.
The question I have is why haven't we gotten better?

Poor leadership.

[Treemydawg]

Poor coaching.

Fify

[Dawgface]

Poor leadership.

Yep.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Poor leadership.

Is it really that simple?

[Activated Alpha]

Better question, are we the worst defense in the nation? Because it sure does damn well feel like it...

[lastmajordog]

Samfords qb had a record day against us. Samford. This entire defense should be ashamed. Players, coaches, the whole lot. I see 3-9.

Chad Kelly approves (and is sexually stimulated) by this message......
