I’m probably alone in this thought but...

I agree.

Also thought our defense played inspired ball.

JB did more than enough yesterday to make up for the bad INT with 5:09 1Q. matter of fact, BMAC gets some blame from me for that. USC ran the ball down field into the RZ that possession and then - poof, the runs disappear.

1st&G at 5...2 pass plays

we haven't hit a damn fade/jump ball in the EZ all year. my favorite call is trying to throw the fade to Kareem-Abdul Deebo and his 5'10" frame in the EZ - which has been done way too much this season. we do score on slants at the goal line - regardless of coverage - it's all on film, y'all can check it out.

WR corp with its dropped passes has cost this offense as much as as QB play this season. add in their inconsistency to block downfield and its not been pretty - or addressed, apparently.

I was going to post something along the same lines last night after I got home from the game and was annoyed at some of the post on here, but figured I'd refrain until I was thinking more rationally. Our fans seem to be some of the quickest to jump off the bandwagon. It's almost like they don't remember Bentley saved our season two years ago, and led us to 9 wins last year. No one wanted to pull Shaw after he played poorly at LSU and followed that up with a horrendous game in Gainesville. Nor should they have. A lot of them were the same ones that wanted Nunez to start and then wanted Orth to start a couple years ago too, so keep that in mind.

Bentley had a bad game against Kentucky. No arguing that. And that pass in the endzone yesterday was one of the worse passes ever thrown, no defense at all for that. Clearly Bentley was feeling the pressure of the bad Kentucky game, a terrible pass on second down, and the fans booing and was trying to be perfect on the pass. It was the golfer with a 3 ft put for birdie hitting it 1 ft bad.

After that thought, he played about as well as anyone could. We had a season's worth of drops in one game for God sakes. Second half we had the ball 4 times, we got 3 touchdowns and the other drive died mainly thanks to Smith dropping a wide open ball that would have been a 20-25 yard gain.

Fourth quarter, in a tied game with the Aggies having a 1st and 15 to start, we let A&M physically whip out defense and chew up almost the whole period on two methodical scoring drives. That's why we lost. We couldn't get a stop. Even dropped a sure interception that led to the 3 points. The amount of missed tackles due to trying to strip the ball was staggering. I was ready to go on the field and cover 81 myself since no one else seemed to be willing to. It was frustrating as hell.

There are improvements need all over the field, but pulling Bentley isn't the answer. For all the Scar fans, remember, Purdue started a back up against Missouri too, and he literally threw for right at 600 yards. Even Jalen Hurts looked competent aginst them as a passer last night.

Chalk and Slayer,

I just don’t get it... since our last 11-2 season, we can’t play football in the first half. 3 coaches, multiple players, and that’s been the problem.

Something needs to shift with the culture. Imagine if we played whole games like we do 3rd and 4th quarters.

Was it not the key to success with Spurrier either?

Look at his first 5 years, only one of them with a winning record in the SEC. shite in his 6th year we won the division with a 5-3 record.

Not sure social media was as crazy now as it was in 2009 but were the fans more patient? Or is it because we had 3 11 win seasons in a row and people assumed that would just keep going?
