Not picking us to win any of those at this moment. But I am also not stock saying cancel the season. The buy in from the players is still absolutely there. Talked to a manager with the team yesterday evening and he said everyone walked in pissed off but none were pissed off at Lebby or the staff. Said Loadholt had an uncomfortable meeting with the OL where he told them in no uncertain terms that the pre snap penalties in the OT drive and not being able to run the ball and close the game out was on them and they all had to live with that, including Loadholt.
The buy in from the team is still very much there and hell, maybe I am just zigging to everyone else zag. I said Saturday night that I am in wait and see mode with Lebby but that does not mean I am going to be doom and gloom for the next month either. We have shown we have the ability to hang with anyone, we just have to close.
Im doom and gloom on saturday night as a fan. Sunday is hangover. By Monday - I put on Bill Withers - Lovely Day and get back on the saddle.
All four of our games left are winnable. It's annoying that that 10-2 talk earlier this year was this close to in grasp. We can compete with anyone. We just need to stop being idiots and close. Having Fluff back will be huge.
OL ain't the only unit to blame. Saturday night's debacle was a team failure.
Para my friend, bad decisions by Lebby can be fixed. Hite someone he trust to help manage the games. Yes he has made bad decisions but some of our players have bad some really bad decisions with stupid penalties.
We have 4 more games to play, who knows we may win a game or two.
Stupid Penalties happen all the time and they always happen at the wrong moment. Either some lineman tackles their opposing player or a Pass interference or a stupid PF. Alot of times the holding is to save the Q from getting killed and the PI is to save a TD. But 2 weeks in a row of just head scratching play calling, either by Shapen or Leb, is concerning. One other thing were the 2 plays, one a TD and one a 1st down, that were called short on the field but would've been overturned were not even challenged, Even the announcers were perplexed that we went hurry up and snapped the ball. The 1st down play we didn't get and we did get the TD.
At 4.5 now with the O/U at 67. Head scratcher of the day Vandy +1,5 against texas. That also depends on Archs condition on Game day.

They had the winning drive on om and fumbled.....sound familiar? And that was before Biker took over HC....
