[VolNash17]

After that one I don’t know that we drop a spot.

 

[VolGee4]

Too many intentional underthrows to be a valid sstrategy any longer

You take the under throw because getting beat gets points on the board.

 

[VolNash17]

Can’t let games like that slip away.

 

[Jack Burton]

I can’t blame Gilbert for missing the FG. If that goes through we’re celebrating right now. In 2022, we got lucky on the final kick against Bama and this time we didn’t.

The problem I had was only going for a field goal after the strip sack. That was too weak.

 

[Devo182]

Nah its Tennessee. It never ends man.

Really? 4th quarter ballgames last year we beat Bama, UF, and UK. Lost to Arky.

Not going to win them all. Even when you "should".

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Right. Heupel shouldn’t have missed that game-winng FG!

4th and two in the first half, go for it and win the game. Punted

Second half had a chance to go up two scores and ran the ball every down and settled for a long field.

Call a timeout before Max kicks to let him settle in and make sure he is ready instead of rushing him on.

Score points in any of those and you win.

 

[VolGee4]

Tim Banks is a big game liability who feasts on games against lessers. I will never trust him until he's coaching for someone else. His scheme is flawed and he's either too stubborn to change or too dense to realize it.

In this game, I truly believe we win if we have our 4 hurt defenders.

 

[The Dog]

This game is all heupel’s failt

.....and bad spelling is all your fault

 

[dmwvol12]

Of course I’m overreacting. I’m ****ing pissed. This is the first game since he’s been our HC that Heupel got scared and showed it.

Okay. I would have liked to see some more aggressive play calling late but he did play the percentages. I would think analytics would say you win 80% in that situation. That’s SEC football. We do have a good team and can play tie to tie with anyone. We were losing some important players on defense.

Heupel was PISSED

I think Aguilar audibled out or just handed it off instead of being aggressive on RPO

 

[orangejuice]

I wish my mind could treat this game like I do when I watch NFL. Losses don’t ever bother me in the NFL because one game doesn’t really matter that much.

 

[VolNash17]

Positives are the offense scored 41 on an elite defense yet still missed opportunities that were there. Negatives are losing obviously and their streak continuing. Max will get a lot of hate I get it but he was a safety switch that failed but fired back up and nailed the OT FG. The offense is legit defense has got to get better and healthy

 

[rjd970]

Brutal. Just a gut punch.

 

[headhunter15]

Redmond was baptized by fire today. However, I think it will pay dividends for him.

 

[StoVol]

With Invol, been saying for years, Banks ain't the best we could do

 

[dmwvol12]

I’m not ripping him because kickers miss FG’s. However, the dude is paid to make field goals, and that kick should have been made. That was a chip shot in today’s game, and the angle wasn’t bad.

Lots of pressure for a kid his age. Again, he’s not a professional kicker. There were 50 other plays that could have been the same difference in the game. Ridiculous to put the blame squarely on him.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

We have 4 games that define our season. We started 0-1 in a game we could’ve won 10 different times at the end.

You have to be able to execute. You have to play to actually win instead of playing not to lose. And instead we **** down our leg.

This isn’t all on Gilbert but he was terrified going onto the field. Can’t have that as an SEC kicker wanting to contend for championships.

 

[clt_tiger]

After that one I don’t know that we drop a spot.

Agree. There are MANY teams ahead of us that don’t want to face us. We are a top 10 team.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Georgia still better than us on the line of scrimmage. They win with the Jimmy’s and Joes not the X’s and O’s.

Offensive line is much better this year. Guess I’m not firing Ellarbee…………this week.

Big improvement by Brazzel this season…high pointing the ball like Calloway.

Impressed by our coaches given talent differential and injuries.

Receiver group is much improved this season….gonna have to hold off on firing Pope.

If they are top 6 we should go up in the polls if voters have a brain. Wishful thinking I know.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

**** you max gilbert

That kid was scared, you could see it on his face before the kick. It shouldn’t have been put on his shoulders to begin with. I’m pizzed about the outcome, but I know my VOLS kept this closer than the last few years. Stop with blaming that kid.

 

[clt_tiger]

Also, this was a 51/49 split on who would win this week. We had the chance to close it out in regulation and be the 51%. I just didn’t happen.

 

[Devo182]

Can’t believe I allowed myself to believe. I won’t do that again. We will always be good with Danny White as AD and what he does for sports, but I’m not sure Heupel is anything but an 8-10 win coach. That’s good but I want a title again one day.

And if Max nails it or the 4th and 6 over the shoulder wr doesn't make an SC10 catch...you'd be 180 degrees different.

We didn't even have our top 2 DBs lol.

We're fine. We're better than fine.
