Understand This.

[FLVOL_79]

So let me ask this question.

Is the D on the field too much because:

A) They can't stop anyone
B) Our Offense can't move the chains
C) Combination of both

I see people trying to defend the Defense by saying our Offense can't move the chains. But honestly, our Defense seems to not be able to stop anyone after the first... 3 or so series.

I am inclined to go with C.

D)20+ yard pass plays on 3rd and short

And now you know the rest of the story!

While I was stationed over in Germany many years ago, they used to play Paul Harvey on AFN, I used to love hearing him tell his stories. :hi:

You know what would be fan-freakin-tastic? For us to stop attacking one another...I know, I know..have been guilty of that as well. I, for one, can't say the offense has carried us nor can I say they the defense has ruined us. IMO, they both have waaaay underachieved and mistakes are on both side..nay... all sides of the ball.

Attacking one another won't stop many posters since it's anonymous. Too easy for some to take pot shots from behind a keyboard. There is no accountability that way, and everytone is an expert.

 

[Volinnooga]

That would fall under game management.. It's been a joke, especially against good teams..

How about giving us the benefit of your expertise--where do you coach?

 

[carpbc]

Our secondary is slower than smoke from a freshly dropped cow patty on a cold winter morning! :birgits_giggle:

Not only is secondary slow... positioning has been poor, as well.

 

[HugeVolfan41]

What is Brays record against SEC opponents? padding stats against cupcake teams will not get it done in the NFL. Our Oline is second in the nation on sacks allowed but Bray struggles in conference games.

Loser cant post for 3 months...My terms are bray is a first round pick when he leaves Tennessee..If a injury happens to prevent him from going to the nnfl the deal is off.

 

[Neylandsmaxims]

When we finally do get a 1st round qb you people dont appreciate him

We haven't had a first round QB since Peyton. Bray is not going to break that streak, the way he's playing.

 

[martyvols]

Bray is not a 1st round NFL draft pick, when you have to make excuses for things perhaps its time to start looking at things more objectively.

Not if he comes out early. If he comes back and matures maybe.

 

[brandy_tenn]

Wanna make a bet?

i'd take that bet. The way he's played lately...3rd round if he's lucky

That our defense is whats losing us games this year so quit blaming bray and hunter hell if it wasnt for them and cp we would lose by 40 every game.Gettin tired of people calling out bray and hunter..Do you not remember the simms and crompton days?? When we finally do get a 1st round qb you people dont appreciate him I mean yea he hasnt played perfect but who does? Bottom line our offense has carried us this year.

Check out the Georgia numbers again.

The team scored 44.

I'm pretty sure only two scores started on our side of the field.

That means at least 30 points came by starting on Georgia's side of the field.

But let's give the offense all the credit for scoring 44 in that game.

And the offense turned it over 4 times.

So let's completely fault the defense for giving up 51.

Hunter is playing like a pussy, and bray is a slacker. He isn't a VFL he doesn't even deserve to wear orange and white.

If Bray declares this year he will not go in the 1st round period, he is not playing like a first round draft pick and it isn't even close.

I agree but I also dont think he will declare this year...im hoping the team turns it around tomorrow and finishes 8-4 with a possible bowl win. and then next year wins the games they shoulda won this year (georgia,florida,and state)
