I can support the team and be critical of the coaches based on what I’ve seen the past two years. Additionally…and based on that, nothing seems to change in regards to preparation and being disciplined.

I honestly think the kid thought it was a live ball because Koolaid did something stupid.
I agree.
I specifically have blamed the punt returner because he played cute and hiis teammate only panicked because he thought the ball hit him.
We don't even have a capable ST coordinator to get that kid to understand to stay clear of a bad punt.
Kool-aid caused that fumble.

Fixed. They knew what they were doing.

I could almost excuse it if he’d tried to fall on it, but that’s not what happened

On rocky tops last TD drive they let their lineman push a stopped RB 5 yard for a first down.. then the immediate play afterward they blew early when they saw us strip for a fumble.
Later that drive they threw a late flag halfway through our INT return for a non-existent PI.
Those refs did everything they could to hurt us and keep rocky top in the game. It felt fixed and it's sad no one actually wants to address this because everyone wants us to lose so badly.

That was badly hit punt which he saw he wasn't getting and still stayed so close it almost hit him.
If he was coached well he would have clear right before it hit and waved his teammates away from the ball.
Instead he got cute, stayed to close, the ball almost hit him where we all were thinking it did and this led a unprepared teammate to make a bad lunge for that ball.
It's cause and effect.
Kool-Aid is coached to do the right thing, he does it and no fumble occurs.

Yep. When we get into these kind of tight games over the last 6-7 years or so the refs start to feel like they'll be part of a big upset and call the game that way. It's only going to get worse as we find ourselves in more tight games because we just aren't as good as we used to be.

Our coaching isn't.
I can't even believe how many calls those refs made to kill our momentum of give rocky top mulligans.
It felt fixed, as if they needed this end result and on key downs and situations they looked to find anything they could blow a whistle on to keep things from breaking out.

Just part of looking for the upset. I don't think it's literally fixed like the NBA, but I think refs in most sports have a tendency to play to the crowd in a close game. So on those big plays where the crowd gets into it they are more focused than usual. The reality is that a penalty could be called on damn near every play, so it's telling when they were mostly called on plays whose results constituted a big momentum swing.

I'm proud of Young and Gibbs. Tough for me to comprehend how you could be proud of anyone in the receiving corps, the offensive line, or the defense. All of those groups should be totally ashamed.

I agree but calling one every key down? Quick whistle when you see a strip coming but none when you see a stopped player being pushed?
They literally watch Bryce's head get driven backward in a target late hit and they said "no foul, nothing to see here".
Bryce gets punched in the head? "All good!".
There was more to that game than the regular crappy SEC officiating. They literally were the difference in around +15 points.
Both FGs we made Bryce was assaulted with no call. A call is made and we score an extra 4-8 points. That last TD drive where they fumbled then threw and INT was an abomination.

Why are you wrong? Because he tried to pick it up. If he tried to fall on it, you have a case, picking it up changes it from possibly being KM’s fault to 34’s.

Just because they didn’t play well doesn’t mean they weren’t playing their asses off.

I'm proud of Isiah Bond, Kobe Prentice and Jacory Brooks. Those WRs made big plays and deserve praise.
Also the OL isn't perfect because we have bad apples (Cohen) but Bryce did have a lot of time on many plays. Not his or their fault the routes their WRs are told to run most of the time need a lot of time to develop (unless Bryce has enough time to check out that shite play called).
The defense tried but there is no safety on the planet that can one-on-one consistently stop a speedster in open space.

It absolutely matters that the team now has a firmly established identity as an extremely talented but poorly disciplined group that gets out-schemed by any semi-competent coaching staff. We’re two plays from 4-3.

our coaching is so bad that the offense is ranked in the top 5 in the nation, #4 before the Milroe game, was 2nd in the SEC last season, and scored 49 pts yesterday, which should be enough to win any game
Your obsession with the OC undermines any legitimate other point

I agree with you that he should have just fell on it. However that would never have happened if Kool-Aid doesn't get cute.
I believe we both can agree they are so poorly coached they don't even know what to do in the scenario
Posted on 10/16/22 at 8:29 am to bogeypro
Yeah we've been a one play game in 3 of the 4 competent games we've played in. This team is just a decent team by general standards. Terrible by the standard set here.

Uh yeah when you have an NFL QB and RB you should be automatically. You ignore the fact most of those TDs yesterday weren't creative calls or intelligent mismatches by our OC. It was just individual talent making crazy plays by our NFL talent.
If we had excellent coaching we would be clearly above all at #1.
See tennessee in contrast who has an OC which kept scheming their speedster to one-on-ones with out safety. Every time we left them one-on-one Hooker threw it to him.
That is coaching. Something we severely lack. Miss Kiffin and Sark. Sorely miss them.

Not sure what game you watched. Young was running for his life on almost every completion. They almost never gave him a clean pocket and allowed him to get hit almost every play. In run protection, Gibbs almost always had to make a man miss in the backfield. That offensive line got its arse whipped for sixty minutes
