This. If your going to pass it put it in the EZ. BTW where was our heralded TE all game???

Florida fans better count their stars that Shapen overthrew 3 wide open TDs our they lose by 19 and maybe more.

I'm sure our kicker already missing one from shorter distance played into things.
He trusted his QB not to do something stupid more than he trusted his kicker from 47 yards. Backfired.

True. Scheme is working. We just have to be more detailed and make the layups.

Schemes don?t work if you have a QB who cannot make the plays?. Like a Shap?n.

I’m with you 34. I don’t get it. I see improvement. We are closer than most understand.

That's true. And you don't expect a veteran QB to 17 it up so horrifically. Folks saying we would be 6-1 if not for Lebby are misguided. The average talent is responsible too.

So since that was the expectation, you can't hold it against a coach for messing up a winnable game. Got it.

WR was open but when you underthrow the ball 20 yards to a 300lb DL it doesn't really matter. Lebby got to coach better and Blake got to play better.

Yeah, Blake gave UT 2 TDs and UF the game so yeah some blame goes around. Lebby got to coach better. If you know your players you coach around their weaknesses. Lebby ain't. Shapen is a sack machine and we still set him up to fail.
I'll say it again, our average talent is two Ferry FG away from 6-1 or if Shapen don't give two games away. We are real close. Also the injuries are huge. I can't think of another team with more impactful injuries than us this year.

Of course we see improvement. We were 17ing awful last year. But we are not competitive. We will see if we can move the line over the last five games.

We are extremely competitive. We have lost in OT and by 2 on the road.

I'm 100% fine with criticism. Calling for a coaching change tho is insane. When you fund the football program at the bottom of the SEC- you get bottom of the SEC results.
TTech was one of the biggest spenders in NIL and they are having a very good season. I see all this "you can rebuild your team in 1 season now with the portal". Well, thats true if you are spending money. If you dont spend the money, you arent rebuilding with what you need.
You want to win in football? Inject another $10MM per to the program. Write checks. Otherwise we will keep having to work our ass off to get to 6 wins

I want a sec win, one. I wanna see Lebby pull it off, and if he goes 0 for 16, then hell yeah i want him gone. If demanding my coach has a 1-15 (.063) record after 2 seasons is unreasonable, then I don't wanna be reasonable

I guess that's one definition of competitive.

Well, we're not doing a very good job getting great value with the current increased spending. That doesn't energize folks to double down.

How bout if Ferrie made the FG in the Tennessee game and Shapen didn't fumble on his sack, we win.
Or if Ferrie made the FG or Shapen hits on just ONE of those 3 overthrown TDs, we win.
You just said what if Shapen like 5 times but he?s still the starting QB.

Idk who we is but no one with a brain stem expected or should tolerate 0-8 again. Shapen has looked like shit in every game, with rare moments except USM.
