Should we have won more games in 2014 and 15?

I feel like looking back now those 2 teams probably should have won like 10 games. If 2014 would have had a real OC and a real qb coach we beat bama, and beat A&M atleast. If we would have had Enos we would have won a bunch of games this year.

2015 we had no business losing to a&m,tech and toledo. Probably should have beat state as well.

Honestly with bret we should have already got over the hump and won big a couple of times, but poor staff choices and other blunders have ruined us. We should be recruiting better already but we arent.

We rolled up our Bowl opponents those years because we were secretly a 10+ win team that only won 6 and 7 games. The other 6 win teams in those Bowls couldn't possibly match us. This year, we're a 7 win team that won 7 games, and we're going to be going against a more equal opponent.

But hey, you're numb to the effects of this coaching staff screwing up our fandom by this point, right? At least there's that mediocre recruiting class coming in to keep everyone distracted until September when we get to go through this same shite all over again.

We definitely win more games if we had Enos in '14

Absolutely. We underachieved for sure in 2015.

Toledo Texas A&M, and Texas Tech losses should have never happened. Those three games put us at 11 wins on the season. Then you look at the State game. Questionable end of the game decisions could be argued cost us the game.

The common factor in those games from 2015, is that coaching played a very big roll in all losses. I thought the game plan for Texas Tech was pretty shitty, but ignored it due to the fact I had a Bert crush still.

In all fairness, that 2015, shitty defense and all, should have been an 11 win team. Or at least a 10 win team, in all fairness to luck just not going your way every week.

Where is Arkansas at sitting 11-1 at the end of the season a year ago with its only loss being to Alabama 27-14?

For those that think Arkansas just will never be able to do it, just look at last season and how close we actually were. Blown red zones against Toledo, collapse against aTm, shitty planning against TT, and a one point OT loss to State at home.

It can be done here...we just need the right guy to captain the ship.

We have been close a few times in the last 6-7 years. I just explained 2015, but then look at 2010 under Petrino. We were right there for 4 quarters with Auburn and right there with Alabama for an entire game.

Am I the only one who hasn't forgotten about all the injuries last year that also played a role I those losses?

I'm not sure how coaching is suppose to mask losing your entire recieving corps in a matter of weeks.

Would take.

Heck, at this point, I find myself melting privately about us not hiring Gundy.

Injuries are just an excuse.

Injuries didn't cause Arkansas to shite themselves in the red zone against Toledo. 9-4

Injuries didn't cause Bert to go ultra retard at the end of the State game. 10-3

Injuries didn't cause the defense and defensive staff to shite themselves late in the aTm game. 11-2

Injuries didn't cause us to have a piss poor game plan against Texas Tech and shite ourselves at home. 12-1

So your saying that it wouldn't have matter if we had our top receivers in the red zone against Toledo.

Gotcha.

I'm saying we didn't lose because of injuries on offense. That's what I'm saying.

If you're too stupid to comprehend that, then continue to support Mike Anderson and Bert.

We got better on offense after the injuries and drew Morgan broke loose. The injury thing doesn't hold water besides with jwill. Still should have won the games we didn't besides bama. frick bert.
