[I seen it dawg]

Uhh let's win.

Go dawgs

[preachermatt83]

I'm at my daughters beauty pageant. I'm keeping up on her. Appreciate updates

[BulldogBear]

Today is upset Saturday. So that makes me feel good about our chances to upset Samford today.

[lamont]

yeeeehawwwww

[Tbonewannabe]

Shump is consistently our slowest RB. He runs like a FB.

[DawgInMemphis]

Run. The. Ball.

[BrunswickDawg]

Run. The. Ball.

Well the passing seems to have worked ok in that drive...

[MarketingBully]

The only way this thread will get any traction will be if Samford beats us. MSU scores on opening drive 7-0 State.

[ShotgunDawg]

Guess the week's plan was to get Fitz some rhythm in the passing game.

Makes some sense going forward I guess

[Dawgface]

Bring on Bama!

[ShotgunDawg]

In promptly we give 10 yard cushion on 3rd and 4

[msstate7]

Richie brown complete whiff on tackle attempt. Graduation is gonna be a good thing this year

[RougeDawg]

Do our DB's ever turn around when the ball is in the air? We could have 20+ INT's if they'd simply turn around when the receivers are making their moves to catch the ball. It's one of the most basic aspects of playing defense, especially defensive.

[MarketingBully]

No pressure on the QB. That goes very well with a shit secondary.

[MarketingBully]

I'm going to be a huge Notre Dame fan today. Screw Manny Diaz.

[ShotgunDawg]

Nice pass rush against Samford's premier OL

[ShotgunDawg]

Hopefully this is a good game for our pass defense to grow up

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

We don't need to be rushing 4. They get the ball out their hands in less than 3 seconds. There probably won't be any sacks today. Need to drop that extra defender.

[msstate7]

Lol@ jiles

[ShotgunDawg]

Haha, Jiles is atrocious.

One of the worst starters we've ever had

That's just flat embarrassing. 1AA team Jiles. 1AA

[MarketingBully]

Game tied 7-7. How the heck did we end up with Peter Sirmon?

[RougeDawg]

Hilarious. Might as well just tank this season and start over next year.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Lol@ jiles

Guess the db's didn't get the memo on the no burn ban.

[ShotgunDawg]

Why isn't there a safety playing deep there?

[GreenheadDawg]

That's about as embarrassing as it gets right there. Sanford just drove the field like it's 7 on 7

[ShotgunDawg]

Game tied 7-7. How the heck did we end up with Peter Sirmon?

Sirmon doesn't have any players. This secondary makes hot garbage appear appealing

[HancockCountyDog]

It's amazing how many seniors we have on the DL and how little pressure they can generate.

[MarketingBully]

We don't need to be rushing 4. They get the ball out their hands in less than 3 seconds. There probably won't be any sacks today. Need to drop that extra defender.

That won't work. Our pass defense sucks. Your only hope is to disrupt their passing attack with pressure. Our DBs give them ten yard cushions and our DC has the nerve to tell the announcers that we have to get up in the receivers faces.

[RougeDawg]

Guess the db's didn't get the memo on the no burn ban.

Shut it down. The Internet has been won for the day.

[Dawgface]

Bring on Bama!

Never mind.

[Op4isabitch]

Frick me why are we playing so far off their receivers, my gosh man. F#**#€

[MarketingBully]

Sirmon doesn't have any players. This secondary makes hot garbage appear appealing

Bullshit. He calls the plays and still hasn't learned to mask his defenses weaknesses. Who's fault is it genius?

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Game tied 7-7. How the heck did we end up with Peter Sirmon?

He's probably asking the same about this team.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm just amazed at how terrible our DBs instincts are in defending the pass.

It's like none of these guys played backyard football when they were kids. It makes no sense

[Op4isabitch]

It's amazing how many seniors we have on the DL and how little pressure they can generate.

I just generated more pressure taking a dump than our Dline showed on that drive.

[DawgInMemphis]

That's about as embarrassing as it gets right there. Sanford just drove the field like it's 7 on 7

Just be glad he didn't bring his sons...

[ShotgunDawg]

Bullshit. He calls the plays and still hasn't learned to mask his defenses weaknesses. Who's fault is it genius?

How do you mask everything?

[msstate7]

Richie with garbage effort on initial play of drive and jiles just terrible. Please stop playing these seniors... they're terrible

[Delmar]

That was a pretty deep pass

[ShotgunDawg]

Well, Fitz will have a career day.

Nice deep ball there

[BrunswickDawg]

Wait - did Fitz have some touch on a downfield pass? I thought that was impossible?

[RougeDawg]

Where were all these young guys on offense the first 4 games of the year?

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

That won't work. Our pass defense sucks. Your only hope is to disrupt their passing attack with pressure. Our DBs give them ten yard cushions and our DC has the nerve to tell the announcers that we have to get up in the receivers faces.

Nobody can apply pressure when they release the ball in 2.7 seconds. May as well be playing with 10 men.

[BayouDawg]

That was a good looking pass by Fitz. He can spin it. Just gotta develop some consistency.

[Bothrops]

The first ream that doesn't score points on a drive probably loses the game.

[ShotgunDawg]

The one thing that gives me hope of a turnaround under Mullen is that our offense isn't anemic & actually has a quality system.

At the end of Sherrill's & Croom's reigns, that wasn't the case

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Our defensive line might be as bad as the offensive side. Zero pressure on that TD.

[MarketingBully]

How do you mask everything?

Our strength is our front seven. Our weakness is obviously our secondary. Sirmon hasn't called an aggressive defense the whole year and forget about calling blitzes. He knows our secondary sucks. This defense needed to be an attacking defense from the start if we were planning on being successful with that unit.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I was flipping around and missed our TD. Been that kind of year.

[WSOPdawg]

Haha, Jiles is atrocious.

One of the worst starters we've ever had

That's just flat embarrassing. 1AA team Jiles. 1AA

lolololol UPVOTE ^^^

[ShotgunDawg]

Are Smitherman & the kid from Warren Central really worse than Jiles?

[RougeDawg]

Did we hand out t-shirts that look like empty bleachers for this game?

[Bothrops]

Our defensive line might be as bad as the offensive side. Zero pressure on that TD.

Yes, and those are supposed to be our studs.

[Bothrops]

Are Smitherman & the kid from Warren Central really worse than Jiles?

No, and that's why they aren't playing.

[msstate7]

Jiles not out there?

[MarketingBully]

Our defensive line might be as bad as the offensive side. Zero pressure on that TD.

They're allowing themselves to be blocked. Need to be taught better technique. We have a lot of talent there though.

[ShotgunDawg]

No, and that's why they aren't playing.

For 17s sake.

[ShotgunDawg]

We may score 70 today with how little time Samford takes off the clock

[Turfdawg67]

Just curious... With arguably the best unit on the field, why does Baker get a pass?? Our DL stinks!

[ShotgunDawg]

Fitz is a damn good football player.

He just has to become a QB

[ShotgunDawg]

Looks like our OL is now showing who they really are

[Coursesuper]

We can't even block block an FCS front.

[WSOPdawg]

Jiles not out there?

He was the one who got burned on 4th & 5 for a 30+ yard TD... smh!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Again, Fitz is a damn good football player.

[Bothrops]

This O-line is just plumb pitiful. Worst I've ever seen in an MSU uniform.

[msstate7]

He was the one who got burned on 4th & 5 for a 30+ yard TD... smh!!!

2nd drive

[BrunswickDawg]

Nice run shump. But man he does look slow

[ShotgunDawg]

That's the fastest I've ever seen Shump move

[WSOPdawg]

Man, Ashton's actually looking like a RB!!!

[Dawgface]

Pitiful pitiful OL. I know you guys didn't know that.

[RocketDawg]

This bunch from Palo Alto just has no defense. I guess that's typical Pac 12 tho .... **

[parabrave]

Hey 60 will you at least look like you are trying to block somebody. Gonna have to start calling your blocking abilities dornesque like.

[MarketingBully]

Up 21-7 now....

[ShotgunDawg]

Pitiful pitiful OL. I know you guys didn't know that.

Yes, but we've scored on our first three drives & we don't have a penalty yet. That's a massive victory for this team

[RougeDawg]

Nice run shump. But man he does look slow

Yes, looks like he's running in quick sand.

[Bothrops]

Our offense would be a thing of beauty if we had one of the better Sunbelt O-lines.

[BayouDawg]

When is the last time we covered a tight end?

[MarketingBully]

Wow, Graham made a play on the ball!

[BrunswickDawg]

When is the last time we covered a tight end?
2000

[Red Sox Dawg]

When is the last time we covered a tight end?

Back in the 90's.

[MarketingBully]

Big time holds on that play by Samford but we aren't getting taught technique to get out of the holds. Yeah our DL coach sucks balls.

[msstate7]

Fg from the left hash... nice

[Bothrops]

When is the last time we covered a tight end?

2014 if I had to guess.

[MarketingBully]

Fg from the left hash... nice

Lol

[BulldogBear]

L.O.L. @ our tackling on that long TE pass.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Bryant must have a shit ton of kids because he definitely doesn't know how to wrap anything up

[MarketingBully]

I've also noticed the receivers are making the catches they didn't earlier this year. Gray actually tried on that long pass play instead of letting the ball sail over his head. Ross has made hard catches today that were drops earlier this year:

[Red Sox Dawg]

Dear's gotta catch that.

[Cloak]

We win by 20+

[Bothrops]

Mixon is my new favorite player. Did Holloway hang it up?

[Dawgology]

What's the damn score

[RougeDawg]

Jesus. We had 3 lineman blocking the shit out of the DEnd while we let the 3 LB's and 2 linemen go free.

[Bothrops]

Our OL can't even gang tackle somebody!

[Coursesuper]

Awesomeness right there.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Wow what a turn of events.

[msstate7]

I've also noticed the receivers are making the catches they didn't earlier this year. Gray actually tried on that long pass play instead of letting the ball sail over his head. Ross has made hard catches today that were drops earlier this year:

We've been saving it for Samford

[MarketingBully]

Fitz gonna be Fitz. Also, why the **** did they call a pick play there? That is almost never called and it wasn't a pick play.

[BulldogBear]

Futz just can't execute a screen. GOOD grief. You have to laugh.

[MarketingBully]

What's the damn score

21-10 but Samford is driving in the red zone due to Fitz INT.

[BulldogBear]

What's the damn score

We 21, They 10

[Bothrops]

Lol

[Leroy Jenkins]

Futz just can't execute a screen. GOOD grief. You have to laugh.

Well, Desper could have blocked the guy that made the pick... instead chose to spectate.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I hate to say this, but I've never been ready for somebody to go like I do Desper. He is absolutely worthless.

[BulldogBear]

See what pressure does coaches

[MarketingBully]

See, pressure came and they couldn't complete the pass. That's how you beat their offense with a shit secondary.

[Red Sox Dawg]

The old corner blitz.

[BrunswickDawg]

Ward having to tell Richie who to cover. That is a walk on explaining our D coverage to our supposed leader on D.

[MarketingBully]

The old corner blitz.

That was Jung a LB with the pressure.

[Red Sox Dawg]

Hev sighting

[fader2103]

21-13. From the Hash.

[BulldogBear]

True, but there was no receiver....just a bunch of OL. Was one of them tackle eligible perhaps????

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Well, Desper could have blocked the guy that made the pick... instead chose to spectate.

He got caught up with the defender and couldn't get around him. Kept the guy from running himself out of the play.

[msstate7]

Ward having to tell Richie who to cover. That is a walk on explaining our D coverage to our supposed leader on D.

I don't think a 3-4 team will be drafting Richie**

[Red Sox Dawg]

That was Jung a LB with the pressure.

Sorry man. Pressure came off the edge, thought it was the corner. I'll watch it again.

[MarketingBully]

Meanwhile Diaz's Miami defense giving up 17 to a 2-5 Notre Dame team in the first quarter. Manny gonna Manny. Think Richt will fire him soon enough?

[BrunswickDawg]

Damn! I miss tear away jerseys. Fitz could have busted that run with one

[Delmar]

Meanwhile Diaz's Miami defense giving up 17 to a 2-5 Notre Dame team in the first quarter. Manny gonna Manny. Think Richt will fire him soon enough?

Hope so, then we can hire him again**

[MarketingBully]

Sorry man. Pressure came off the edge, thought it was the corner. I'll watch it again.

Oh, sorry didn't mean to sound like a smart ass there. Just was saying it was an LB. Easy to mistake there though.

[Leroy Jenkins]

True, but there was no receiver....just a bunch of OL. Was one of them tackle eligible perhaps????

Williams was there, caught up in the wash.

[MarketingBully]

Hope so, then we can hire him again**

lol, I'm just glad he is having a miserable year there. Odds are good they won't be bowling this year after starting 4-0. If they lose this game, they would have lost their last four games and lost to a shit Notre Dame team.

[Coursesuper]

Futz just can't execute a screen. GOOD grief. You have to laugh.

That was on 58. He whiffed his guy, you have to at least get a piece on the screen.

[RougeDawg]

Fitz couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat right now. horrible passes.

[Coursesuper]

That was a dumbass throw

[MarketingBully]

Two INTs for Fitz. He is not the QB of the future. Please Thompson hurry up and get here.

[msstate7]

This has been my problem with fitz all year. It's not all bad; but when he goes cold, it's a freaking artic blast.

[Bothrops]

We aren't gonna win any close games with Fitz. He makes way too many mistakes.

[chef dixon]

No better time to try out Tiano. Fitz has gotten more than his fair shot.

[Dawgface]

Tiano must really suck if he can't get any playing time.

[ElectroDawg]

Who is the backup QB today

[MarketingBully]

This has been my problem with fitz all year. It's not all bad; but when he goes cold, it's a freaking artic blast.

That's why we lost to BYU and UK especially. If we had our offense on track in the first half of those games, say leads of 14-7 and 14-6 were more like 28-7 and 28-6, we win those games going away because those teams would have to be one dimensional to get back in the game. Look at the South Carolina game. There was no reason we couldn't have those same kind of leads at halftime at BYU and U.K.

[Leroy Jenkins]

4th and 8 from the 30. The interception was better than an incompletion from a field position standpoint. The other issue is if we had a kicker we are not having this discussion.

[MaxedOutMaroon]

We aren't gonna win any close games with Fitz. He makes way too many mistakes.

Fitz isn't a winning quarterback. He may be the best runner, but he's not going to win us games. Mainly, Dan needs to call running plays. It's easy give it to 27, 22, 21, 32, and 7, that's all you gotta do

[RougeDawg]

This is unbearable to watch. I may go see if I can find some paint to watch it dry.

[MarketingBully]

Fitzgerald is just not the guy.

[HancockCountyDog]

Why is Samford getting more pressure than us?

[Bothrops]

Tiano must really suck if he can't get any playing time.

Nah..he just likes to play who he picks first. Dan would rather lose than be proven wrong.

[MarketingBully]

We aren't gonna win any close games with Fitz. He makes way too many mistakes.

Oh I agree. He is one of the worst starting QBs we have had in a decade.

[BrunswickDawg]

Dude panicked when Simmons blasted up the middle there

[BulldogBear]

Again.

Pressure.

WHY is it such a hard concept for our program to grasp?

[Delmar]

We can't get any push against Samford. That is awful.

[RougeDawg]

Our goal line offensive plays are as predictable a the sun coming up each morning.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Jump pass coming?

[Bothrops]

Oh I agree. He is one of the worst starting QBs we have had in a decade.

Thing is, he has all the tools.

[MarketingBully]

So Fitz can't get in two times from the one. The first one is on Fitz as all he had to do was take it to the outside and he would have walked in. He doesn't even do QB runs right. What is he good at period?

[WSOPdawg]

Imagine trying to run Fitz inside the 3 on Bama (no 17'n happening)... so why not try to use this as an opportunity to get a play that will work with Fitz distributing the rock to other playmakers?

[BulldogBear]

I'm glad Futz got in but Dear might've walked in. Not a great read.

[BulldogBear]

Gah, this would only happen to MSU.


So, repeat, giving to Dear on the sweep was the thing to do there.

[Quaoarsking]

Unbelievable.

[Bothrops]

21st century football

[BayouDawg]

That's about typical

[MedDawg]

So it's legal for a defender to swing his arm, hit the runner/QB in the back of the head, and rip his helmet off?

[BulldogBear]

Too much of that in this game. DANG plastic snaps.

[Coursesuper]

Why is Samford getting more pressure than us?

Because our offensive line is complete shat!

[Bothrops]

Fitz seems physically stronger than all of our O-linemen. He must eat his spinach.

[BulldogBear]

So it's legal for a defender to swing his arm, hit the runner/QB in the back of the head, and rip his helmet off?

To save a TD.....sounds like a sound strategy. Just like PI on purpose when you're burned. JUST tackle the WR.

[BrunswickDawg]

So it's legal for a defender to swing his arm, hit the runner/QB in the back of the head, and rip his helmet off?

Guess so. And the fact that they had his face mask and ripped it off, and that can't be reviewed as the cause of the helmet coming off it Bs

[wmccgc]

FACEMASK!

[MarketingBully]

This is the drive of the game right here. Our defense has to be pumped up and hold them to three and out. If they drive it here, this will come down to the wire. That's how this team has rolled this entire year.

[msstate7]

I really hope God is storing up the good luck for basketball to balance this out. We aren't good, but we're clearly the most unlucky team in the history of the world

[Treemydawg]

I guess I'm the only one that saw the dlineman pull fitz helmet off by the facemask

[Dawg61]

Horseshit that they ignore the blatant facemask

[Quaoarsking]

Since our defense can't tackle, maybe we should teach them to rip helmets off instead.

[Dawgface]

If you look close from the back angle, one defender had is fingers on Fitz face mask that pulled it off.

[MarketingBully]

Yeah that was a shit no call by the refs. Could be a game changing no call.

[MarketingBully]

If you look close from the back angle, one defender had is fingers on Fitz face mask that pulled it off.

Yes, it was a missed call by the officials. Go figure.

[MedDawg]

So the officials reviewed the TD and saw that Fitz' helmet came off before he scored, but missed that it was pulled off by the facemask by a defender?

[dawgs]

what bullshit. i get blowing it dead to keep the guy from running and taking hits, but when a guy is diving/lunging/falling for the goal line and it gets knocked off (pulled off by the facemask) in mid-dive/lunge/fall, it should be where the guy hits the ground, not some spot in mid-air.

[Bothrops]

Our staff could take Bama's team and turn them into Kentucky in one season.

[BrunswickDawg]

So the officials reviewed the TD and saw that Fitz' helmet came off before he scored, but missed that it was pulled off by the facemask by a defender?

Apparently they can't assess a face mask penalty even if it is why the helmet came off. Which is total BS

[TrapGame]

The facemask is non-reviewable. Which is utter, total, complete bullshit.

[NYDawg]

Par for the course this season.

[Turfdawg67]

I love how Bryant, Jung, etc... jump around, throat slash and sh*t when they make 1 good play out of 100.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Is #75 on their O-line available to transfer after this season? He is destroying some people.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Nick James looks like he came to play today. He's been in on a lot of plays.

[MarketingBully]

Man, we are just plain terrible.

[Bothrops]

Haha we suck so bad

[Red Sox Dawg]

OL is the biggest weakness on this team in my opinion.

[Coursesuper]

We are only up 8 on an FCS team, this can go south on us quickly. Stand by.

[Turfdawg67]

What happened to the quick passes and the freaking WR screens that we started with!?!?!? Now it's run up the freaking middle every 17'n play!!

[Bothrops]

Samford has the better Oline, that's for sure. I'd rather have their coach

[ElectroDawg]

This game is taking a toll on my Woodford Reserve

[msstate7]

No matter the opponent, we play well for a quarter to a half and then complete garbage. Fitz is as inconsistent as any qb I've seen. Our play calling is more predictable than ever

[Turfdawg67]

OL is the biggest weakness on this team in my opinion.

That's not an opinion, that's a fact!! Hevesy should be fired at halftime! That's plain stealing when he draws a paycheck!

[msstate7]

Running away from our db's

[Coursesuper]

Here we go.

[MarketingBully]

This will come down to the wire and should end Mullen's career if we lose. No exceptions.

[TrapGame]

I'm having South Alabama flashbacks!!!

[RougeDawg]

Yeah that was a shit no call by the refs. Could be a game changing no call.

The most sad thing of all is that you are even talking about it being a potential game changing no call.

[Coursesuper]

Did y'all see 34 give exactly no effort on the long play.

[BayouDawg]

I'm not the slightest bit surprised at this performance so far.

[BulldogBear]

We sucked before. And we still suck.

The state of Alabama is going in dry on us this season.

[Bothrops]

Let's offer Samford's coaching staff.

[BulldogBear]

This will come down to the wire and should end Mullen's career if we lose. No exceptions.

Agreed. BEFORE the TAMU game.

[Op4isabitch]

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaHhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Red Sox Dawg]

It's almost like our guys expect to lose instead of expecting to win. They think something bad is going to happen.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

That's not an opinion, that's a fact!! Hevesy should be fired at halftime! That's plain stealing when he draws a paycheck!

They honestly look like they truly don't give a shit whether they make a block or not.

[trob115]

Brandon Bryant should not touch the field again. Loaf count is way on up there this game.

[BrunswickDawg]

That's the way to recover Fitz! Beautiful pass!

[BayouDawg]

Hell lets just chuck it deep every play.

[MarketingBully]

The most sad thing of all is that you are even talking about it being a potential game changing no call.

Hey, I know this team. The defense will play in spurts and the offense plays in spurts. Neither unit will get on the same page. Fitz is the biggest culprit in all of this because he doesn't play like he should consistently. This should be a 35+ point game but out shitty offense led by our shitty QB will three and out it enough to keep any teams in the game.

[RougeDawg]

This will come down to the wire and should end Mullen's career if we lose. No exceptions.

Not happening. He's getting another year regardless.** just ask the people around here.

[Boston]

Best pass he's thrown his entire career!

[somebodyshotmypaw]

The state of Alabama is going in dry on us this season.

We can redeem ourselves in a few weeks against the Crimson Tide.

[ElectroDawg]

I'm hoping we get to see Williams in the second half

[RougeDawg]

Student not even staying until halftime for this one. Nice job pansies.

[msstate7]

If we can somehow get some consistentcy out of fitz, I think he could be really good. You just never know what you're gonna get

[MarketingBully]

Not happening. He's getting another year regardless.** just ask the people around here.

If he loses to Samford, he should fire himself. No SEC coach at any school should survive a 2-10 season with losses to USA AND Samford.

[MarketingBully]

If we can somehow get some consistentcy out of fitz, I think he could be really good. You just never know what you're gonna get

Dude, this would have been the game to get consistency out of him and the ahole still threw two INTs.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Brandon Bryant should not touch the field again. Loaf count is way on up there this game.

I take back my previous comment about him having a lot of kids because he can't wrap up. He can't have any kids due to not being able to hit anything.

[Op4isabitch]

Hey Dan,

We are an SEC school, you hire proven coordinators and let them do their job. This shit show defense is 100% on you!

[Turfdawg67]

A long methodical drive on our sh*tty, no caring DBs

[RougeDawg]

Brandon Bryant should not touch the field again. Loaf count is way on up there this game.

He loafed again on that last long pass play.

[trob115]

Can someone please get Brandon Bryant off the field

[RougeDawg]

Richie Brown on another whiff. Holy shit we are horrendous.

[MaroonFlounder]

Overthrowing passes and throwing bad passes in traffic should not make you call the starting QB an A-HOLE. DAK did the same as a RS soph.

[Bothrops]

The defense is making their case against the OL...and it's a compelling one.

[MaroonFlounder]

Dude, this would have been the game to get consistency out of him and the ahole still threw two INTs.

Fitz ain't the problem dumbass. He doesn't deserve to be called an a-hole.

[Red Sox Dawg]

This game is agonizing and slow.

[msstate7]

Richie Brown on another whiff. Holy shit we are horrendous.

I don't remember being more disappointed in a player than Richie this year

[BulldogBear]

Apperently it takes 11 seconds to call a t.o.

[MarketingBully]

Overthrowing passes and throwing bad passes in traffic should not make you call the starting QB an A-HOLE. DAK did the same as a RS soph.

Really? Fitz is not an SEC starter and will never be an SEC starter. Dan has tried this square peg round hole experiment the whole year to the tune of an at best 3-9 record. No matter how much Fitz improves he just doesn't have It and never will have It.

[RougeDawg]

Why let all that time run off the clock if you intend to use a timeout? Dan is an absolute shit show himself.

[Cloak]

Student not even staying until halftime for this one. Nice job pansies.

I'm still in the student section. Why don't you talk to the "fans" on the west side. Ridiculous

[MarketingBully]

Fitz ain't the problem dumbass. He doesn't deserve to be called an a-hole.

As many problems this team has if Dak is the QB this year, we are 8-4. Fitz is a huge problem but he is not the only problem. But yes, he is a big reason why our offense stalls a lot. He still is consistently making crappy reads. His passing is improving but he still misses that It factor. He is no leader out there.

[RougeDawg]

Dans response to giving up 3 plays of 25 or more yards is "well they're an explosive offense so it's expected." Really?

[RocketDawg]

I'm still in the student section. Why don't you talk to the "fans" on the west side. Ridiculous

Yeah, it looks a little thinner there than when the game started. And they're not even in the sun are they?

[MaroonFlounder]

Really? Fitz is not an SEC starter and will never be an SEC starter. Dan has tried this square peg round hole experiment the whole year to the tune of an at best 3-9 record. No matter how much Fitz improves he just doesn't have It and never will have It.

If Fitz ever has any kind of O-Line in front of him, he can relax and play without getting flustered. You are clueless

[Cloak]

Yeah, it looks a little thinner there than when the game started. And they're not even in the sun are they?

Nope. The entire west side is in shade and they still can't stay. Meanwhile we're getting burnt to a crisp

Really? Fitz is not an SEC starter and will never be an SEC starter. Dan has tried this square peg round hole experiment the whole year to the tune of an at best 3-9 record. No matter how much Fitz improves he just doesn't have It and never will have It.
So a guy who has more yards passing than 4 other SEc QBs today, and has more yards rushing at the half than all but 2 players in the 3 games so far today is an ahole who shouldn't be playing SEC ball? I think I know who the asshole is in this senario, and it ain't Fitz.

[MarketingBully]

If Fitz ever has any kind of O-Line in front of him, he can relax and play without getting flustered. You are clueless

He would still suck IMO overthrowing wide open receivers and making the wrong reads as well as staring down his primary receiver. There have been plays our OL has blocked well for him today and he didn't do shit with the time. Just held on to the ball. Of course it is moot anyway as Thompson will easily take the starter job from him next year anyway.

We are playing Samford. He will have more combined yards today then he will combined the next four weeks. Book it.

We can talk about Fitz all day long but our defense is an embarrassment to SEC football.

There are a lot of holes on this team but to say Fitz isn't one of them is really clueless was my whole point.

Yeah, it looks pretty hot down there. And the Scoreboard Club above you is virtually empty now too. I guess they're all inside. That's why the East Club looks half empty at every game ... they're all inside where it's cool (or warm in a normal year).

[Bothrops]

Dan can't coach anymore. He should quit football for a year or two, and go find himself.

Have you been drinking heavily today? I think we need that disclaimer.

No question about that. And weren't we expecting the defense to be halfway decent this year? Fitz has some really good moments ... has a heck of an arm. Can almost throw the length of the field. Only problem is, it's sometimes 10 feet over the receiver's head.

Disagree. Fitz has as much talent as anyone State has ever had at QB. He's not there mentally yet obviously but his OL is horrendous and his HC doesnt help him. He's throwing the ball way more than Dak did when he was young

Lol, why are you guys defending Fitz anyway while you ruthlessly crush players like Richie Brown, Brandon Bryant, Jiles and others. I don't get why Fitz is untouchable.

[msbulldog]

Dari Noki or whatever his name is just called the tsun defense the LandCarp on the halftime show.

Have a beer on me after the game.

[TrapGame]

Dans response to giving up 3 plays of 25 or more yards is "well they're an explosive offense so it's expected." Really?

He makes it sound like we're playing the New England Patriots. Wow.

Ha! And he's right.

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

He's not untouchable. But he's not all to blame either. Give him time he can be the one of the best we've ever had. Damian Williams is brutal and Tiano obviously isn't ready in Mullen's eyes. Not that his eyes are worth a shit anymore

[TrapGame]

Y'all think Chris Hatcher gets a look at a bigger program next year?

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.

[ScottH]

Well they are a top 20 FCS team.

Thats part of it. He will get there. He needs a new coaching staff IMO

[msbulldog]

Mixon is doing his part.
