Why not answer my question instead of trying to shift the subject?

so now I'm curious as to why they shouldn't be held responsible for being unable to hold a lead in the final quarter.
Is playing 29 minutes too much for our defense? If so, I think we have bigger issues.

Not sure I can fathom how anyone would blame the defense for this loss when our dipshit offense committed 3 turnovers (one of which was on our own 10) and another one in the form of a forehead slapper of a fake kick attempt that of course failed miserably.


Folks want to blame Pittman, because otherwise we have to sit down and admit that Petrino hasn't called a good game since Okie Light... and recent evidence has shown that they suck the meat missile on defense.

Am I saying that Pittman is great? No. But I am definitely saying that Petrino isn't great anymore either. Are we better on offensive than we were last year? Yes. But we aren't good. And a large part of that falls on Petrino's shoulders.

Butbutbut it is the offensive line's fault! Well then don't call plays that leaves them hanging out to dry. Plus Petrino has repeatedly called plays leaving an open blitzer or lineman free to roam in our backfield. He did that the first time around here, but we don't have an NFL level QB to make teams pay.

Hell, we'd probably do better if we kidnapped the Army OC and ran the flexbone from here on out. At least then we would know what the frick we want to do on offense.

You’re trying to get me to answer for TOP, something I didn’t bring up nor reference?

I asked you why the defense shouldn't be held responsible for being unable to do their job to an equal or better standard of the opponent.

You went on a tangent about Pittman.

We did multiple times. They moved the ball on their last drive by running it. We were worn down

Again, this doesn't track. Their defense played more than ours.

I’m sorry our defense allowed a late score…I guess?

Our offense scored 3 points after the 4:50 mark of the 1st quarter.

I guess that’s acceptable now?

Don't put words in my mouth.

Lack of ball security lost this game for us. The defense also couldn't protect a LEAD in the 4th quarter. Both are true. One doesn't negate the other. Y'all may want to cherry pick what you didn't like, but I'm gonna talk about all of it.

Can we all just agree, we suck?

Its like we are arguing over sucking a little or sucking a lot.

We just suck great and small.

A&M's defense was on the field longer than ours. What's the excuse?


A&M went to the run game and pounded us into submission.

We decided to not use the SEC’s top rusher and relied on a very unreliable QB.

The very first thing said was the offense couldn't keep them off the field when that wasn't even true. They played less than half the game. It's not about how much we suck, it's about people straight up lying about what happened.

I’m guessing they have better depth than us because of better NIL

I do not understand how you could watch that game and not see he wasn't right. He literally completely blacked out after getting tackled at one point.

Facts:

Our Oline is embarrassing, in the context our head coach was an oline coach his entire career.

Green sprints out of pocket too much, but it's probably to avoid getting killed by his bad Oline

Petrino still knows how to get mediocre receivers open in space

Pittman is not major D1 head coach material

I'm there now. I forgave the clumsy game management early assuming improvement with experience. He's too far in to still be this bad.

I thought it was pretty obvious Jackson was beat up pretty good and didn't need to be ridden.


Jackson is beat up, our line didn’t really get any push.

I think that’s why it was a one sided shite show.
