Naysayers I have a question.

I am not fully back on the Gus Bus but I am running alongside it with a smile on my face and enjoying this season so far.
My question is this:
What can Gus and this team do to impress you over the next 4 weeks?
What will it take to gain your confidence?
21-28 point wins on the road 3 straight times?
Or is this a "wait and see" until georgia and bammer no matter what we do to everybody else?

Over the next four weeks?
Beat Bama, Georgia, and Clemson

UGA & LSU. Win those & I am back on the bus. Still standing near the front but back on at least

Beat UGA and LSU, be very competitive against Alabama. Win the bowl game. I don't care who it is.

Could give a frick about margin of victory except for this week. 2-1 against the Big 6 works for me

I want so bad to believe!!!!!!
We have to play up to our potential for the remainder of the year. If we end up 8-4, I'm completely, 100% out for good. 9-3 is acceptable IF we don't get our asses kicked by UGA and Bama. If we're 9-3 with 20+ point losses to UGA or Bama, I'm also out. If we lose but play clean and coaching doesn't cost us those games, I'll still be on the fence. No way we should lose to LSU, A&M, or Arky.

To the Naysayers..... I say Nay!!

We'll end up losing to UGA and Bama anyway. It will be fun while it lasts though.

Beat who we are supposed too, and beat UGA. If bama beats us that's just the state of affairs right now, but we need to make them earn it.

I can't take losing to UGA again.

yea, its miserable for me in Ga as well but this year is not like last year. Last year we totally outmatched UGA. We just f'ed it up and had a child at QB
This year, UGA is a very strong team its not any kind of given that we will win. I like our chances but we missed a opportunity last year

So, the summary of most of the first 12 responses (not all of them) is that -
Gus can only screw up more by losing to LSU/Ark/A&M.
If he wins all three, so what...we expect that at Auburn.
If he wins vs uga or bammer we are happy.
Gotcha.
In all honesty, that is exactly where my feelings are as well. Our program should be at a point where in an SEC down year, we beat everybody but the top teams and then go at least .500% vs those. Split with bammer and georgia, I am good too.

Given? When is a rivalry ever a given? Especially UGA. They'll likely win again this year.

Dude... just stop. You're not good at this.

Good at what? I said UGA would likely beat us. What the hell is wrong with that? To be a member, I have to always think we'll win?

Not a naysayer, but the big games are the last two conference games. We just haven't shown the ability to beat teams we aren't supposed to beat under Gus. I'll accept a loss over the next 3 games if it means we get a win against UGA or Bama

Margin of victory really doesn't concern me. He pretty much has to win out for me to be happy. 4 straight losses to either Georgia or Alabama is unacceptable. It doesn't matter that Alabama has a unprecedented run, bla bla bla...
I think as long as Stidham stays healthy, there are no excuses. For years, it was no defense... FIXED. Then it was no QB... FIXED.
The time to win big is now.

Exactly. Not to sound negative, but those really are our two main games. If we win every game expect those two, plus Clem, then this is all for nothing. And if we lose any game before UGA? Terrible IMO
