Chill out guys

[Stevorino]

1) the only bad thing ill say about coaches are that i think they were out-adjusted in the second half. Florida really exposed our players' understanding of the d. They capitalized on every mistake.

2) sal is awesome - but our d is still a work in progress. It was clear tonight that we're still learning, and making mistakes.

3) tiny got abused tonight. I feel bad for the kid

4) we arent done. This was a good game until the 4th. The east is still possible (though admittedly improbable) and lots of wins are ahead

5) dooley has still done a great job. That may have been the most competitive weve been w florida since 04. This team will get better every game.

Agree with ur sal comment, i think the guy has this d going in the right direction

At what point is being competitive with an average florida team not enough? Honest question.

Good post. Keep our heads up!

Go Vols!!!

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Agree. Just couldn't close the deal when it mattered.
I get so frustrated with this fanbase sometimes.

number 5 ? COME ON... Florida could have scored on us at will in the 4th

Is this cdd mom because he didn't watch the same game I did.. look at the schedule not a lot of wins left based on the play calling n run game we have.. u don't run in the sec u lose... why is that so hard for vols fans to understand...

 

[dduncan4163]

We just ain't there yet. Sal called a good game for the most part. We had a epic Meltdown in the second half and Florida made us pay big for it.

 

[ziv1173]

Florida played better. Driskel stepped up BIG.

That being said, what is most frustrating to me is the fashion in which we lost. We were extremely competitive and then just crash and burn in flames in the last third of the third quarter and beyond.

You simply can't give up that many big plays and then drop first down passes that are perfect and try to one-hand catch balls that are either scores or putting you right on the door step.

I bought into all this hype about Florida being average, or below average. After two SEC wins, I guess I don't see the same Florida team you do. These guys are stacked with talent. The UF team I watched tonight doesn't look that mediocre, but we did. I also think that it puts the aTm game in a different perspective. Maybe we were wrong about UF's progress, and our own.

The way UF played tonight, they could be an SEC east contender, especially with their schedule. It makes me sick to type all of that, by the way.

I think we forget how low we have been. This isnt a basketball team where 1 phenom takes you to the dance. We are still rebuilding, and i think on the right track.

We'll still be 3-1 going into athens.

I can give Sal credit. He kept us in it for as long as he could, but at some point with most of the coaching staff it's like polishing a turd!

Doesn't that happen in every SEC game we play though?

 

[Crew]

The "whiny bunch" is on the hunt for low hanging fruit.

Get frustrated? This fan base has every
Right to feel the way that they do. Tennessee football is an embarrassment. If you are okay with this crap you are part of the problem, not the solution.

The Vols hit them square in the mouth intially. The difference is the Vols thought that the Gators would lay down and quit, but they played four quarters of football. We have to learn how to finish the game.

 

[phowell23]

Strange playcalling by Chaney. I put this loss on him. He made no adjustments at half time and it showed.

 

[PanicVol]

Yea, the fanbase is just so out of line. What a pathetic second half. Get outta here with this positivity ****. Dooley sucks and now everyone knows it. New system? Uh, because half our coaching staff left because they saw this coming. Please quit with the chill out crap. Heard it too much.

 

[Shakinthefat]

Who's fault on the epic collapse? Head coach? Coaching staff? Seniors? Starters? Captains? Answer: everyone

I agree completely. That was a good team.

They look like 3rd best behind lsu and bama IMO

 

[GTvols]

Any fan is going to cry and complain like a baby when their team doesn't do well. They often forget that these players are just kids playing a football game. The hardcore fans live their lives through these players. It's morally disgusting.

 

[eVOLution]

To me it comes down to florida still having better athletes than us and we are still have alot of growing pains with the new 3-4 and lack depth on the d line

 

[SmartVolFan]

Y'all didn't see the same game I just watched. Had Florida cleaned up their penalties in the first half, if would have been embarrassing BEFORE halftime...
