First I would like to start by saying this...

NOBODY IS frickING OKAY WITH LOSING TJ

YOURE JUST SUCH A frickING PETULANT NEGATIVE frick THAT YOU CANT SEE WHATS HAPPENING IN FRONT OF YOU. PLAYERS ARE WIDE frickING OPEN AND APPLEBY CANT frickING HIT shite. THE DAY WE GET A frickING QUARTERBACK THAT ISNT A PUSSY AND SHITTY WILL BE THE DAY WERE CHAMPIONS. frick YOU. YOU REVEL IN FLORIDA LOSSES AND YOU SAY shite TO GET A REACTION LIKE THIS OUT OF PEOPLE. frick. YOU.

Now that I got that off my chest,

The play calling sucked at times. But the coaches had a good plan and you could see that. It was a plan that could win the game. You can't turn the ball over if you wanna beat Bama. We spotted them 16 points because Appleby just simply isn't a Florida level quarterback. I thought that was a 38-14 type game that appeared worse than it was. Don't get me wrong, they whipped our asses, but it wasn't nearly as bad, especially at halftime, as the final score indicated. Hell, we should've made it 33-23 midway through the 3rd quarter despite the turnovers, and who knows what happens from there.

But you cannot shite on the coaches for this game. This game sold me even more that Mac has a brilliant offensive mind. He needs to either replace Nuss or take over the play calling because Nuss makes some major WTF calls sometimes. Mac got too aggressive on the fake punt and should have called it off when we had to burn a TO before the play. I'd rather him be overly aggressive than to be a giant pussy though. He was playing to win and I respect that. It was poorly executed. We need to make a change with the special teams. They are clueless. Burning two timeouts because the special teams can't get their shite together is unacceptable, especially in a game of this magnitude.

At this point, I'm sold on Mac's vision for the program, commitment to improving the facilities and the organization, and his offensive mind. He needs to make some tweaks to the staff, namely the special teams coach, and perhaps the OC and the OL coach. I'd also like to see Mac turn the momentum of playing for a championship and winning a lot of ball games into recruiting momentum. I think recruiting will pick up when the offense gets more fun to watch, and I think throwing for 261 yards with the shite were throwing out there at QB right now shows that we're going to be fine on offense once we get a QB. The OL pass blocked well considering who we just played and the running backs ran hard. You just can't line up man to man with them and run on them. They're too good. All in all, we got a look at where we are vs where we need to be. They are the gold standard and this was more of an example of what we're building our way towards. I'm proud of the way they fought and I'm proud to be a Gator. Losing sucks and is never acceptable. But I am excited about the future and I'm excited to watch our program grow. We'll see them next year and get another crack at them then.

Go Gators!

I thought the gameplan was probably the best put together game plan the coaches created all season.

The usage of Powell on 1st downs to get positive 4-5 yards, putting Callaway in 1 on 1s with Minkah, the throwback screen (why the frick hasn't this play been run since Tennessee?), the usage of TEs, etc...

Its sounds kinda strange given the fact we lost by 38.

But the offensive gameplan was spot on. The execution (fricking Applebees missing WIDE OPEN WRs...) was another story.

I kinda wish you would have deleted it. Atl....the special teams coach? Come on...we tried to fake punt to # 93 Bryan and it went right off his hands...but frick...he is a DL. The punter grabbed it (great hands) instead but then paly was doomed. If Bryan catches the snap..we get a first down. The blocked punt? First one this year as I recall.

You are correct that we could not run the ball, and that dooms any offense...our only hope was passing and Bama knew it. If we had enough completions early on...and no turnovers? Pachyderm fans would be shitting their pants but we did and they didnt. Could not throw deep much at all with their DL. Harkless was being run over and its not his fault...he isnt a starter. 3rd string center tried his best...our guys played hard in the face of officials overlooking holds, blocks in the backs, PIs, you name it.

Yep it's my fault we've been outscored 85-29 the last 2 Games. That we're averaging 29 yards rushing the last 2 games. We're basically a poor Texas tech. Your anger should be directed at Butters for this shite show.

I won't blame the refs. They missed calls but not 38 points worth of calls.

We got beat by a better team. But we didn't do anything to help ourselves out. Appleby was pathetic. He hit a couple of the dozens of wide open receivers we had and threw for 261. Can you imagine what we'll be doing when we have an elite arse quarterback throwing dimes all over the field? I can't fricking wait.

You just simply can't give Bama extra possessions and free points like we did. We had a chance in that game. We just didn't have a quarterback that had what it takes to win that game. It sucks but it's the way it is.

And my beef with the special teams coach is the lack of aggressiveness trying to block punts. I thought it was a bad call to go for the fake in that situation. I like that we're blocking kicks and shite again, but the special teams under Mac have been very meh.

I never said anything was your fault. I just said that you're an idiot and a fake Gator. You practically celebrated when FSU won, so why don't you come out and say it. Your name should be TJNole.

You can't even acknowledge that the game plan was solid, the executition was just poor. You're so blinded by your idiocy that you can't even appreciate what a good gameplan it was that Mac had for this game. They were ready to play. They had a winnable plan. Appleby just could execute it. I hope we can find somebody that can soon.

Yes because you're not a real fan if you don't cheer this shitshow. We just got waxed again. The game plan was shite except for the first few drives because they were scripted. Were the failed end arounds, runs up the middle, trick plays and running the same play to BP great plat calling. Go to bed you're drunk.

Oh I'm sorry what game did you play today reel? Mac is garbage and all the evidence backs that up. I'd hate to see what I'd do to your old arse. Take your geriatric rage somewhere else.

You're not a real fan if you never cheer for your fricking team.

That 92 yard drive in the middle of the 3rd quarter sucked. The fact that Hurts threw for like 130 yards and they didn't have a running back going for more than 100 yards was shite.

The game plan was good enough to win the game. Mac put them in the best position they could be in to be successful. Appleby just didn't have what it takes to execute. You can't spot the other team 16 points. Especially not Alabama. I can't figure out if you're a troll or if you just seriously genuinely don't understand the game and how it works. I'm starting to lean towards the latter. Although it's probably a mixture of both

If it was good enough we wouldn't have lost by 38 points. I don't cheer for uf to lose I expect it given Mac's results against decent teams and how the program is regressing.

HE HASNT EVEN BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH TO DETERMINE REGRESSION

It appears to me that there's open receivers that a competent QB can hit and that the offense is on the cusp from taking off. You keep spewing nonsense about the program regressing but there's no evidence of that and not nearly large enough of a body of work to determine a correlation of regression. In fact, all we have to go on is the fact that we've played in championship games in each of the last two years. Thats called progression when you didn't have a championship appearance in any of the previous 5 seasons.

He's been here long enough to show he's plateau'd. the 2016 season has been the exact same as 2015. Start of strong and shite the bed the last 3 games. We're due a loss in the bowl to possibly Nebraska.

His recruiting is awful. You're gonna wish for Meyer after Mac gets done stuffing this roster full of project 3*s and unbalanced classes. You guys keep saying Mac needs a QB. These are the ones he's brought in:
Grady
LDR
Appleby
Trask
Franks

You guys act like the only thing missing on this team is a QB. It's not. We don't have elite RB, OL, DEs We're missing on a ton of defensive talent have no depth @ DT, LB or S. Have whiffed on DTs and elite LBers and we're kicking our asses kicked on the trail. We just finished a regular season without one commit. Not one. Our last commit was 3 months ago.

Trask and Franks were the only quarterbacks brought in by Mac out of high school. The transfers we brought in were solely for depth purposes and because the depth was so bad and because of a couple of guys getting busted with steroids or staying in trouble, they were forced to play this year. It sucks but it's the way it is.

And who wouldn't wish for Meyer?! He's the second best coach in the country. Of course we'd all love Meyer back.

Watch the first quarter yesterday. The defense gave up -7 yards. If we have a competent quarterback, the score after the first quarter is 14-0 Florida. Instead, it was 16-9 Bama. You can say all the shite you want and it can be wrong, but the fact is that this offensive scheme was good enough to win yesterday. Appleby just wasn't capable of executing.
