For me, its just another season under Bert of what ifs.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I like Bert and I want him to do well here but the misses are starting to pile up.

We also blew a tremendous lead against aTm in '14. We missed a PAT that would have sent the Alabama game into OT, and had an unforced fumble at the one centimeter line in the first quarter that would have won the game anyway. We lost four games by a single score in '14 and finished 7–6.

Obviously this isn't a perfect world and we wouldn't have won all of those games in question anyway. However, after three straight years of having the ability to finish with 10+ wins and falling embarrassingly short each time, I'm afraid we're looking at a trend. A bad season or bad game doesn't worry me. Seeing that BB-led teams have a pattern of behavior that he can't seem to shake makes me think that we have no reason not to suspect a fourth straight year of looking like idiots and losing winnable games. I mean, a good handful of these coulda/woulda games weren't just close, they were in the fricking bag. He can't keep doing this to us year after year.
