I know this is a long shot since Internet message boards are for bitching and moaning and I'm sure this thread will be taken over in short order with "fire EJ" "fire Gus" "hire Muschamp" etc., but I'd really like to get some thoughtful dialogue.

True our D played and has been atrocious and we were killed with more penalties, but what happened to the offense besides dropped passes? The first drive was a thing of beauty. Is this a bigger issue than our D or is that all it is?

Did the coaches put too much pressure on the team to be 13 seconds better and after the A&M loss, the team has quit?

Is this a letdown season after the magic we rode all last year?

Is there something bigger going on, i.e. Gus losing the team bc of discipline we don't know about?

I feel like watching that game from the start, at least on tv, the UGA fans and team were pumped the entire time. It sounded and looked hostile as anything I have ever see on tv or in person.

Thoughts?

I think we all thought Auburn offense would be get better week after week just like it did in 2013 and 2010. And it might have, but the defense collapsed. The offense kept at it but I think the two TAM fumbles cost a lot of confidence. Losing Duke meant it would be NM tossing to Coates- and who can't lose hope there?

I thought Gus would take what he has and make something of it, instead, with NM it seemed like they tried to recreate 2013 plus get NM to the Heisman by being a passer. Didn't work.

It's Gus' fault. But I'm sure with JJ being so different than NM it will be an opportunity to start on a clean slate.
