48 of 64 first place votes.

Wow. I thought it would be much closer than that.

 

[Bring_Back_Dooley]

Hmmm...according to a number of posters on the FF (and a few on the RF), JG is the worst QB in SEC history. Clearly, these numbers are wrong.

 

[drvenner]

Much deserved #1 ranking despite Pennington trying to make the case that they didn't deserve it yesterday on Sports Source. At the end of the segment he acknowledged they would be voted #1 because it was "their turn". Jerk.

Best Vols BB team I have ever seen and that includes Pearl's best and Bernie/Ernie. Too much pride and complacency are the opponents the rest of the season. Stay hungry - "don't pick us".

Pennington is just awful. I rarely agree with him because he falls all over himself to run all of our programs down.

Chaney is going to really help JG. I just hope playbook install goes smoothly with everyone. We need to win 6+ next year no excuses.

6 wins should be the absolute minimum next year. I'd like to see 7 to be able to show real progress.

Did it?

22.1 ppg in Foles starts
22.0 ppg in Wentz starts

Nick Foles or Carson Wentz? Eagles face big offseason decision

Better to look at the offense as a whole.

Now, all that being said, I’m still taking Wentz over Foles for long term picture and upside.

I’m with you my expectation is set at 7. We’re on the right track with everything off the field. 7 wins means we’re getting there on the field too. Let’s get it!

The defense was what decided to show up the last part of the season

 

[ob79]

Unnamed Eagles begin to push back against Carson Wentz

Travis Haney eventually lost his job because of the article he wrote about Tennessee, naming multiple "unnamed sources," including opposing coaches and players.

Not saying that none of it is true but, isn't your job as a sports writer to find ONE source that's willing to be named?

I didn't like it when it was written about us and I don't like it now.

Defense played well enough for the Eagles to be playing in the game yesterday.

Impressive considering all the injuries on that side of the ball

But but but fans only think he’s better than Dormady because he has tattoos ~ @mccrackb

Definitely. The injuries that we had in the secondary were crazy this year. Main reason we were playing so poorly. Those young guys themat replaced those starters finally started playing decent towards the last part of the season. Not taking anything from Nick though

It took a blow out by the Saints for them to turn their season around. Yes, I'm a Saints fan, but its true.

Report: NFL might consider allowing reviews of pass interference after Saints fiasco

Then they need to be able to review other penalties like the play clock expiring, the multiple missed face masks, and the other calls that crew missed. It was a very poorly officiated game all around and people are only talking about that missed call because of the timing.

 

[VolsnCards5]

ROBOT REFS NOW

 

[VolsnCards5]

But seriously, make refs full time, pay them a lot, and let them know that if they screw up too many times, they are done.
