Best I've felt about our team

[Other_Guy]

It's garbage. Undisciplined players taught by undisciplined coaches. Turnovers and penalties. Tennessee should've won by double digits.

Um you do realize this is virtually the same coaching staff that had UT one of the best offenses in the country at not committing TOs and penalties Jones 1st 3 years and a lot of the same players?

This is bizarre and today seemed unreal.UT should have blown them out. They do have nearly 700 yards of offense against another "really good" defense. It's players every whereffumbling the ball. I'm not sure how they correct it when it's acting like a virus.

Despite that and an unbelievable amount of injuries, I still like their chances next week.Maybe this loss wakes the team up a bit thinking "we could have run them out of the stadium" and they stop goofing around on offense and start putting 50 on people.

Don't do this, Wylo. Yes, we lost. But two things CBJ has done well is field teams who are rarely penalized and protect the ball. Except for this year. The players are saying they need to protect the ball better and not make stupid penalties. CBJ didn't forget or overlook these things.

That's fine but this is this year. Last year doesn't matter. Ball security is lacking. It's been lacking all year. This isn't a surprise. Why act like it isn't what it is?

How anyone is blaming the coaches in this game is beyond me. Do you people just want to be miserable? This team put up almost 700 yards of offense and the coaches did not fumble the ball.

The coaches put this team in a position to win, against a top 10 team, in a hostile environment, with never ending turnovers. Bottom line is when UT plays to its ability only Tennessee can beat Tennessee..and thats what happened today. Without the turnovers these Vols steamroll the aggies.

Never been more proud of my Vols, there was so much heart out there and its still going to be a special season. Lets beat Bama next week!

dude why are you acting like our season is over after our first loss in 6 weeks?

is it because we cant get a bowl game yet?

Not sure how anyone could be feeling great after that heartbreaker. Sure, we looked like the better team and proved that we are one of the top teams. But it doesn't matter how good we looked, we lost. And our playoff chances took a huge hit

How is the best you feel coming from a loss and 7 turnovers and a mass amount of penalty yardage? The only thing I feel ok about was the play calling and seeing Dobbs under center some. Defense is becoming thin and we gave up a lot of rushing yards (something Bama does well). A loss sucks and there are no moral victories.

Ball security is deficient. And, to be clear, I am not attempting to tell you what or how to think about our team. Fumbles and penalties are not characteristics of CBJ's teams. So, if it coaching, are we to assume the coaches forgot these parts of the games? Should they make players run laps until vomiting to teach them a lesson. Maybe bench players who make a mistake? There are many things to ponder when it comes to our coaching. I just don't think ball security and disciplined play are concerns in the long run with our staff.

He is a whiny putz. Why on Earth would anyone care about his opinion? He complains when they win. He complains when they lose. It's comical.

We were never making the playoffs with the amount of injuries we had suffered and the lack of oline play. That is nonsense. We were 5-0 and hadn't gained a single spot in the polls since the preseason.
