Look guys and gals, I was there, I was hurting in those stands as bad as everyone else was when that clock hit zero and we all had our heads in our hands with everyone around us consoling us. It's over though, the Florida game is over, and no, we don't need to fire Butch!!!

It seems like that most fans forget that it is very hard to win in the SEC with what we have. We have a talented football team, but there are too many flaws to be an SEC Champion contender. I start to believe more and more everyday that Butch Jones hyped and hyped and it's a damn good thing the players are into it, and the fans are into it too. I think the fans though, brought a little more into it than need be. I know that sounds insane, but I'm saying they brought into it as "hey we are back, SEC Championship here we come".

I know not all of you are like that, but a lot are. Guys, we will be back to Tennessee Football, it may be next year, and it may be the year after. I firmly believe though, that Butch is the man for this job. Are there some shakeups on the staff that need to take place after or before the season is over? Yes I truly believe that, but Butch is the man for this job.

So, please, step back off the ledge, I know it hurts like hell, but as the team does, as fans, we need to come together and be one as we always have. Here's to a good rest of the season and getting better every week. GO BIG ORANGE

Nobody thinks we should win SEC this year...just that we should win games that are gift wrapped for us. 2 weeks in a row the players have put us in a position to win but we didn't. What is the problem?

Yes, but would it not be more fun if half the fan base didn't lose their minds when we hit a bump in the road even though team development is progressing as well as anyone had hoped just a few months ago?

On second thought, probably not. :eek:lol:

The problem with Florida is Mike Bajakian didn't call the same game he called @ Georgia. Anyone could have seen that slants across the middle would have murdered Florida's defense. The middle of the field was open all game long. Also, the defense can only be on the field so long before they wear down and that's exactly what happened. It was gift wrapped until the Bajakian play calling caught up and we were on D more than we were on O.

Apparently you didn't see the entire Florida Def line in our backfield on every play preventing Worley from working his progression.

Don't need to be a champion to beat a bad football team that made a conscious choice to not bother to compete for 3 quarters on the road.

Quick slants don't require 5-7 step drop backs, we don't have the line for that, and we're gonna have to get into a rhythm for 3 step drop backs

You do realize that when a Def lineman is coming untouched that by the time a QB takes his second step back the lineman is at full speed correct? Step 3 is full contact.

really...the difference was they "decided" to play....not that we gave them the ball on the 30 yard line, they got a little spark from inserting a more mobile QB......followed by a back up hitting a 49 yard field go to take a 1 point lead.....the Defense played nasty the whole came....sorry....just not gonna go with that one......they weren't bad were we needed them to be....on the D-line. Then would go with your statement.

Game day offensive coaching is the answer. They lost me last year at the UGA game and verified my opinion against Vandy. It raised its ugly head again Saturday in the second half.

You sit there like you are trying to be a parent to the fans and smugly say it's over. IT IS NOT OVER!!!!!!! Wake up! Jones said it best.....LOSING will not be tolerated at UT. What kind of fan are you anyway? Losing is ok?? You have no passion!

I may be interpreting his post wrong, but I think he meant you don't have to be a contender for the SEC to beat a bad team at home.

And I agree with a lot of what you were saying. UT gave them the chance and UF grabbed it.

Heart breaking... I'm pretty sure no one expected us to win the SEC East, but we were all expecting to beat FL.

We don't have any gift wrapped games, and Florida had 2 weeks to sit around and pick us apart. Probably didn't help us.

He is absolutley right. I like him and hope CBJ "gets it". Whether is it "Jimmys and Joes" or assistant coaches; I hope he makes the right decisions so he can be around UT for a long time.

I didn't expect us to beat Florida. I expected us to put out a good effort and a good game plan and really try to beat them.

What I saw Saturday were two teams trying to lose a football game.

I really love CBJ; but you have to figure out ways to win against rivals especially when you are favored! I am sick of loosing to these clowns... Sick of loosing period. Maybe I bought into the hype a bit much, but that looked like the worst game we have played all year.

I have always said a realistic goal this year was a bowl, yet I don't see how we make a bowl game this year and I feel double punched in the gut.... There's my rant and doesn't mean I don't love and support my team!

The game plan for Georgia was studied and disected by the Gators. I think Muschamp is a total tool but he is a good Defensive coach. A lot of what worked against the dawgs would not or did not work against the Gators. Our Oline just had no answers for a 3 or 4 man rush. The only reason the middle looked so open was that our route trees did not put recievers there so there was no shell coverage there. What was open all day was the 12-20 yard gap in the coverage where the safety was responsible due to a shorter route. We could not get that throw on a consistant basis due to Fowler and company putting Worley on the run or his back.
If we could have completed some of those then we could have got a coverage shift where we could have hit the middle with slants and ins. Also, to complete the slant the WR has to win off the line but Pig is the only guy that could. The TE drag routes that we have been so successful with was stuffed by the D end first and then a safety or Lb that would slow up or redirect the route. By the time the TE got to his route then Worley was done.

He doesn't know whst middle of field is. Had he watched uga film as well we would have won by 10. Usc destroy uga middle field whole game but Jake is too stubborn and want to do whst he wants not what defense gives it's obvious last 2 games

If we don't perfect our 3 step drop passing game and use some draws, this years OL will get Worley/or QB killed. Florida showed us that in no uncertain terms. GO VOLS
