We did play like shite

You and I have a different definition of shite. Playing like shite was on full display from UTk, Arky, UF, etc... We played a ranked team at a "neutral site" (I'd argue it was a home game, but w/e), and while we certainly made our share of mistakes, we held a team that averaged something like 40 points per game last year to 17 offensive points and one special teams score. Offensively, we were too reliant on Chubb IMO, but again hardly "shite". Limiting mistakes is key, and as long as we make fewer of them than our opponent and we don't continuously make the same mistakes over and over, it's a better look than we've had over the past couple of seasons.

I think we'll all continue to evaluate and we won't have a complete picture until after Ole Miss/Tennessee, but to call the performance shite is underselling it. It's Kirby's *job* to undersell it to keep the process going. Your comments were, as literally everyone ITT but yourself has noted, an overreaction. It's not the end of the world, just takes a bit of perspective.
