I agree watching the Titans play is like watching a bad high school team. I turned it off and told my wife they were one of the worst teams I had ever seen. I then saw the winning field goal on the NFL network. Don't know how the Cardinals managed to lose that game but I would struggle to not fire the coach if I was the owner of the Cardinals.

They dropped the ball celebrating before crossing the goal line on a long run. That's how.

For those who really love or otherwise pay attention and watch NFL games, do you like the NFL more today, or say 5, 10 years ago?

You can tell there is an elevated level of play, but honestly without sports betting idk how much NFL I would watch. Every team and every play style is similar. I wish someone would try tempo, or a spread or some version of some of the fun college offenses.

Nice post.

Yeah from a schedule perspective some teams appear better than they are (Mizzou) and some worse.

Nonetheless, our schedule has not been that hard so far, especially with uga not being as formidable this year as years past.

We need to get off the field on third down better, is how I interpreted your stats about our defense. And be more disciplined, and consistently so. I also think some of the play calling could be better. Example: we ran stunts so many times on the dline against Miss st that it was creating easy 8-15 yard runs off tackle for them, which allowed them to dictate the pace of play in the first half when they were on offense. And we were the better team. If we had played them more straight up, got off the field more consistently, and worked up a lead before half time, it may never have ended up as close as it was.

Mizzo about to start their schedule. They are about to get worked.

How in the heck do these idiots just keep on doing this...and the even better question is WHY does anybody do it at all?

It makes absolutely no freaking sense.

Too concerned with getting their touchdown celebration started for the video cameras to be worried about small details like actually scoring a touchdown - selfish, show off personalities that don’t give a damn about their teammates or anyone but themselves.

I think you're over thinking a simple lack of intelligence

Found him. Did not go to Virginia tech. Not sure why I thought that. But even he has more muscle on him than Hyatt from pictures. I wonder if adding 10-15 pounds would really make the difference. If it was that simple, you’d think, as a professional, not sure why he wouldnt be able to do that.

Edit: ok so apparently there is a family of fullers that went to Virginia tech and even though I couldn’t remember clearly enough to say the last name I could remember it subconsciously and knew the name was associated with that school. Funny how the brain works. @RandomUTfan

I think schedule (opponents) obviously have a lot to do with stats and how the game is played.

Mizzou’s offense runs 80.0 plays per game (weak schedule); their defense plays 50.4 plays per game. Going into last week’s games their defensive stop rate ranked 21st in the nation.

Our offense runs 76.6 plays per game; our defense runs 77.4 plays per game. Prior to last week’s slate of games our defensive stop rate ranked 84th in the nation.

Our run defense on a yards per attempt ranks 18th in the nation but 119th for attempts against us per game.

Mizzou’s run defense ranks 10th in the nation for yards per attempt; they are 1st in the nation for fewest runs per game defended. Weak opponents tend to favor the pass over the run but still overall their stop rate is decent.

We’ve played the 5th and 8th best rushing offenses in the conference so far, Mizzou has only played the 16th (the worst) rushing offense in the conference.

Arkansas is ranked as the 2nd best rushing offense in the conference so that may be something to keep an eye on.

Tim Banks previously has put a lot of stock in our defensive stop rate. I think it’s subpar right now aside from the schedule mostly due to perhaps some depletion in the DL ranks due to player availability and more drop off in depth quality than we may have enjoyed in the last couple of years.

Vanderbilt was the 8th most experienced team in the nation coming into the season, 10th on defense; we were 58th overall, 22nd on defense if everyone was healthy which they haven’t been. We’re at the point in the season where talent begins to trump experience. We’re the 16th most talented team; Vandy is 55th.

Arkansas is the 23rd most talented team but their experience on defense was 88th. MSU’s experience on defense was 20th best in the nation. Arkansas’s offense was 39th most experienced. Bobby revamped his defensive staff during the bye week so I’m not sure how that affects them. I think more than likely they’ll still be hobbled on that side of the ball.

On offense I think we’re a bit better plus we’re at home. On defense while our stop rate (#84) could use some improvement going forward, the Arkansas defensive stop rate is at #119. Knife, meet hot butter. jmo.
