re: Harsin's Presser

We still don’t run the ball and exploit Bo’s legs enough.

Bono was needed to acclimate to the SEC. He will be replaced before too long

They give him credit when he does things right, and rightly go after him when he misses wide open opportunities or dumb mistakes as they should. I think generalizing them to be biased against Bo is incorrect. They were praising him for the LSU, Arkansas, and Miss games, and critical of him for PSU/GSU/aTm as they should. He was not like he was in those other games for the PSU/GSU/aTm games.

Wouldn't you think it might be worthwhile to try something different in the 4th quarter of a game if the previous 3 were getting the same results? It worked for Georgia State.

I feel they try to keep it close to honest/unbiased as possible

They have a good show but are definitely biased. That’s the problem with shows like that they know nothing about football and go purely how they feel. The never call out missed tackles, missed gap assignments on defense, never the running back making the right cut or missing a hole, but make a huge deal if a ball isn’t thrown perfectly to the WR.

I like the content they provide but need to understand they are just fans but are definitely biased against Bo. Bo played like shite this weekend no one is denying that but the loss doesn’t fall solely on Bo. Offense got their asses whipped.

They executed a very good game plane.

Saw their helicopters they got planes too?

Agreed. aTm had our number last week when we were on offense. They just outplayed us at almost all positions. We couldn’t run the ball. Yes I’m aware Tank had a couple good runs but also had runs where he didn’t pick up a yard. His longest run was 10 yards. Our longest play of the day was the 15 yard well placed ball in tight cover that Bo placed right over the defender with nice touch to Luke deal for 15 yards.

So don’t give me some junior level film watcher when Bo reads a side of the field and is about to release the ball and take a snap shot of the defense at that moment and a guy on the opposite side comes open because the defender is reading the QB and starts to break to where the play is actually going to be.

Look if you don’t have a game plane you are not a serious football program yet. Game planes are for elite programs.

They do those things on their Watch the film show, and Auburn's offensive line stats were pretty high. They discussed how so and so made a tackle or missed a tackle. It's fine if you don't like their take, but they were for Bo for the last three games and were staying this one, he just wasn't in the same mindset like something off the field was distracting him. I imagine he's in the midst of pre-wedding shenanigans somewhat or something else

Excuses excuses, but if that was true somebody better be in intensive care…

How delusional is this post? The guy who has been excessively polishing Bo's balls for 2+ years thinks that someone else is "biased" in their opinions .

The fact that you actually think that they have an agenda against Bo Nix literally proves your own bias, which of course you are entirely blind to. I watch their show from time to time but have no allegiance to them, and they are extremely fair in their reporting. You conveniently left out that in the previous games against Ole Miss, Arkansas, etc. they were complimentary of Bo Nix - just like they were in week one, or in any other game where he plays well. But when he plays like shite and loses the game and they rightfully call that out, now they're being "biased". That is called fair criticism; even going back to last season when they grilled him it was entirely justified...ie: the South Carolina game.

But people like yourself seem to think that when he plays well and we win that he deserves all the credit. But when he plays like utter shite and the offense can't do anything (newsflash: the QB is the most important player on the field, if you aren't getting production there, good luck winning) you are quick to deflect to how supposedly the "entire offense played bad". The Texas A&M game is a literal example where Bo Nix was the absolute lowest graded player on the offense - but here we are, trying to group in other players who actually did their jobs to SOME degree in with him in order to make it seem like everyone else deserves equal blame. That is textbook bias. If the QB is the lowest graded player on your offense, then your QB deserves the bulk of the blame. Instead we had a thread on here about how we shouldn't be too critical of Bo because it was Mike Bobo's, and the OL, and the receivers fault. "Mike Bobo isn't helping Bo Nix" as he calls a screen pass that the QB rifles over Hunter's head.

When the receivers were playing like dogshit (which they also did against A&M) I didn't see anyone state "...but so so and so was also not good, so don't give them too much blame" - they got rightfully blasted. But when Bo Nix turns the entire 2nd half into a clown-show performance, there is a sect of Auburn fans who want to immediately deflect. The QB is the fricking star of the team - that means that they don't get to magically "blend in" when it's their turn to get picked apart. Imagine watching that 2nd half and seeing Nix playing with his head cut off (skipping wide open out routes, dropping the football, launching the ball over RB's heads, etc, etc) and coming away with "yeah but it's not like the rest of the offense was perfect". He threw a ball high to Tank Bigsby (which he luckily held onto for no gain) that almost got him killed. That was actually the second high ball to Bigsby, the first one would have been an INT but Tank luckily deflected the ball away.

You claim to know football, right? Don't you think that maybe we could have prevented A&M from just collapsing the LOS and sitting on every short-route if Bo Nix had completed that open deep pass to Johnson that would have been a touchdown? A&M's QB was at one point in the game even less accurate than Bo Nix, was also facing drops from his receivers, got fricking injured, and STILL hit a 40+ yard pass that ended up opening up their offense. The game was still in contention until our own QB just dropped the ball and it went for a TD - then he completely fell apart. That is the definition of losing the game, and deserves to be grilled for. Defending our offense is really really easy once the defense sees that Bo Nix doesn't have "it". You just apply max pressure and wait for him to do something stupid - even if there are open receivers, he's too cracked-out to throw catchable balls.
