If = speculation, and all of your speculative points were negative. I never called you a "negatiger", and in fact, have never used that term. But, when you read your points, they do predict for negative outcomes. Your reality is not everyone's reality. I do not have my head in the sand. I know our team is not perfect. But, I know our defense and special teams are so dynamite, that they keep us in games by themselves. If we can improve our O-line play, and continue to advance our playbook, our offense will be fine. Like you, I am not satisfied w/our current offense, but I do think they are trying to mix it up a bit more and throw more. Only so much you can do w/o protection, though, bro.
WTH do you think Frazier is? Last night, Auburn ran the offense COMPLETELY different than they have all year, but Frazier IS a running QB...he just hasn't run this year before last night. And he was completely bottled up. We'll find out in two weeks when we head to the Swamp. And I DARE Shaw from USCe to run. TAMU has a runner too. Not worried about those teams hurting us with their QBs legs.
Not so sure about the special teams as a whole. I mean, Wing yes, of course. But our ST did put itself in some dangerous positions last night, and committed SEVERAL penalties. We threw the ball nearly 30 times last night. That said, I don't understand why we didn't throw it 35, when AU gave us 7-8 in the box a few times on 3rd downs and we ran right at them.
We didn't see the same game, obviuosly. The two turnovers by Mett were unfortunate, but we have got to protect the QB or we need to lower our expectations. The OL had 3 guys go down in fall camp and lost Faulk for the year. Miles will never make a big deal over injuries, but that my friend was a huge loss. Every team we play in the SEC has good DE's that will rush the QB. Mett is a Peyton Manning type QB (pocket passer) but with much less game experience. You add inexperience at WR and it's surprising that we are ranked as high as we are. In order to throw downfield like all of you complainers have written, you have got to give Mett time to do it. It will be a challenge with Faulk out for the year.
I am going to throw my opinions out there, regardless of where they fall on the map, as do you. In fact, they may be the only consistent thing about you. I posted my "projections, speculation, opinion, in a thread titled "Projected Rankings" Will the Tigers drop? If so, How far? Is that drop fair? Do we belong among the top? - Alabama, Oregon, and FSU all seem to have their selves in gear to compete for a ship, based on “my” opinion, we don’t. And, if we do not get ourselves in gear, and get some things solved, we will not be ranked amongst the top, or competing for a national championship. And that is ok with me, we are who we are. Trust me PAL, I’m not crying, I do not expect immunity from anybody, and as a matter of fact, I expected to be criticized for not saying the Tigers are the best team in the country and unbeatable. Because that’s the MO around here, anytime you speak up and it in anyway shape or form does not pump sunshine, you get blasted as negative. Been here long enough to know that. As for the moron comment, ok, I’ll apologize, should haven’t stooped to his level.
