I was about to say the defense is designed to give up a bunch of yards and plays to avoid the big plays.

It's keeping points off the board but tons of bad offensive teams have shortened the games with ball control.

Our defense plays a ton of snaps because it's basically the philosophy

The defensive philosophy has become this season's potential downfall. On paper, it's a fine idea when playing most modern offenses in today's game but a school like UGA is always going to give you trouble because of their physicality, efficient pass game, strong run game, and can matchup talent wise. Tennessee figured this out while trotting out a new QB and changed their offense enough to take advantage.

Now you pair the defensive philosophy with an offense that has gone dry and relies too heavily on explosives, and you're allowing the opponent to take over the game by dominating T.O.P. and pace. If the offense isn't scoring and gives the ball back quickly, opponents will love to take what you give them and eat that clock while going methodically down the field for points.

Idk how much the staff can adjust on a bye week, but philosophical changes will have to happen this off-season.

I’m not a fan of DeBoer, I think both sides of the argument have greatly exaggerated their stances. That being said, changes this off-season will have to be made.

Grubb should not be here.

Wommack has been fine for the most part but the defense has been figured out and can be exploited if schemed correctly (something Tennessee did on the fly).

I think we’re at the point we’re making too many excuses for DeBoer. We know who he is as a coach at this point and you can even go back to his UW days and a lot of what we knew then carried over here. He’s probably not the long term answer but also know it’s too difficult to make the switch at this point.

Wonder Man was white in the comics but they turned him black for a TV show. He's a comic book character that most people, even some comic fans, have never heard of but it was still greenlit. It then gets cancelled after low viewership but it's somehow racist. You can't win.

Looks like John Malkovich will also be in season 2, pumped.

Shoes off the table, please.

I enjoyed season 1 more than 2 but the season 2 finale was strong and actually has me excited for a potential season 3.

I didn’t mind the reveal but…

1. I really enjoyed the Old Hollywood Noir vibe of season 1. Sugar is a great character and show but I noticed I was way more into the story compared to the later boxing/drug trafficking storyline.

2. The reveal is certainly a twist but the writers decided to be weird and didn’t really touch on it except for bits and pieces and then the season finale. Why not actually lean into it?

3. If we get a final season, it would be cool to get back into the Noir element. Maybe he tracks down an alien serial killer or something. I was just totally disinterested in the boxer and drug runners.

Pulling for Russell as well but let's not forget what this place was like during the Mac/Young QB battle. All the excitement was around Young and Mac came out and led us to a title.

We'll be in good hands regardless.

Back to back years now right? If we could keep that and stop having a game in Knoxville every season our schedule would really be cooking.

Agreed. It seems to be an Apple TV issue more than most studios but it is getting ridiculous. I understand if they want to wait for audience reaction and initial numbers to start coming in before formulating a decision but a show like Severance was pretty big right off the bat and it took 3 years.

Widow's Bay was a big hit and they just announced last week they're back in the writers' room. Pluribus is going down this frustrating path as well.

I don't remember shows like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Sopranos, etc. taking incredibly long breaks between seasons and those are some of the best shows of all time.

I would like to assume this is a post in good faith but have my doubts.

13 bucks for a movie isn’t a bad deal, maybe just go on Tuesdays or during the day for now on. For the people that go more than once every 20 years, a rewards account to your favorite local theater is worth it if you attend frequently.

I have a pretty nice home theater set up and I still enjoy going and seeing something on a bigger screen and louder sound system. I would also double check and see what format you’re going to see a movie in, for Cinemark XD is their best picture and sound. It’s fine to watch the regular screens but I try and only see comedies and lower budget movies on those screens.

Prices are up for everything. You spent 13 bucks a ticket for 3 hours of entertainment, that’s not a bad deal. No one checks bags or even cares anymore at this point if you sneak in a drink or snack, just buy the right combo.

Biggest complaint about theaters is other people. As far as the movie goes, I wasn’t the biggest fan either but still a pretty good time overall.
