Stop blitzing the LBs and have them spy the QB. Slants are killing us. Every SEC team will start slanting us down the field all season.
That's what happens when they're overconfident instead of playing good defense and pressing once they have proven themselves

Okay, I KNOW this is way too early, but it appears like our recruiting has not been up to par. Bostic appears to be the quintessential "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane". No one on defense is making big plays. I get the first game brainfarts but this is way beyond that. Flat seems to be the best description.

Brissett looks more comfortable in the pocket and it looks like the coaching staff trusts him to throw more than Jeff, but Jeff actually looks more in control of the huddle and the rhythm of the offense if that makes sense.

They'll pull away in the second half, but that passing game is really worrying. From what little I can see I can't tell if it's the WR not coming open or the QB not getting it done. There were at least two passes to wide open receivers that weren't thrown well.

So we haven't looked great. No sure if the passing game is bad or our coaches jut believe in the run so strongly. The defense has bent quite a bit with some excellent series mixed in.
Overall I'm not pumped, but we are winning. We can only get better. And I still love the orange ad blue.
I know this is a message board an everyone can say whatever they want and be as critical as you want. But this is such a negative board. We all want 35-3 at half. But we do t have that. Stop whining and find something good I build on. Hell Gilislee is looking great. His vision is much enter than I expected. Hope he stays healthy. I'd like to see some down field passes. Maybe we cannoned up the play action more in second half.
Let's just cheer on the orange nd blue an stop calling for Muschamps's head.
GO GAtORS!!!

Sorry but neither qb showed much as a passer - they both looked about like they did last year - overthrows, missed open receivers. Worse yet, it didn'nt look like the coaches had a lot of confidence in either of them.

Let's hope the defense can make some pics and score some points! Gilly is our offense right now.

Gone are the days we dominate. And some actually wanted us to schedule tougher non conference games. Crap, we may have trouble hanging with N. Alabama tech. The flags fry me thats coaching, and no excuse for missed tackles. We have just about everyone returning from D and BG is controlling the ball for much of first half.
On the qbs, its hard to judge. IMO JD has done a very good job, missed one pass but has led the team down field, had two good drives. I am concerned, red flag here, whoever he overthrew, the wr went to the bench, right to Brisset, upset and angry, and Brisset said don't worry I got you. That was reported by announcers. What you have already is wrs polarized. That is not good.

Oh and Tyler Bray might have his breakout game against us.Well hopefully they don't end up in a bowl against us because that's one SEC team they'd beat. Bowl committees would love that matchup. OSU is not loaded and isn't playing Miami of Ohio every week, it's not beyond the realm of possibility

This first game should have been about building some much needed confidence in the offense. Instead they are playing scared......again. Pick {{one}} QB and let him roll. Stop the vanilla nonsense and open the playbook up. So what if it puts it on film, big bleeping deal! Right now, building confidence is the most important thing.

And an entire corner of our stadium is empty. And I haven't seen anything to fill those seats yet.
If 1 - 2 for Kentucky, Foley needs to invest in orange and blue tarps to cover the vacant sections. Maybe they can add some sky boxes to reduce seating; raise ticket prices to fund it of course.

I'd rather let them know they are facing a wrecking ball and they should be scared as they can't stop it. Too bad they just know we can't throw and our punt protect is weak.

Gone are the days we dominate. And some actually wanted us to schedule tougher non conference games. Crap, we may have trouble hanging with N. Alabama tech. The flags fry me thats coaching, and no excuse for missed tackles. We have just about everyone returning from D and BG is controlling the ball for much of first half.
On the qbs, its hard to judge. IMO JD has done a very good job, missed one pass but has led the team down field, had two good drives. I am concerned, red flag here, whoever he overthrew, the wr went to the bench, right to Brisset, upset and angry, and Brisset said don't worry I got you. That was reported by announcers. What you have already is wrs polarized. That is not good.
Whoa nellinus!!!
I missed that.......ReallY?

People are complain about our passing game... but we are completing 70% of our passes.
Our offense really hasn't disappointed me, except for the penalties. It's the defense that concerns me now... we need them to dominate, and they have just barely been average. Our offense hasn't had enough chances because the defense can't get off the field, and when the offense does have the ball, they get a penalty which puts them in a hole.
We're running the ball fine and were passing the ball fine. We just need less penalties and better defense.

I truly feel sorry for a lot of our fans.
I remember when people were "throwing themselves off bridges" when the defense out scored the offense in Floridas opener its first national title year.
I don't even know what I am watching on the field the last few years. We could go on the win 49-7 but this team still looks like crap.

Our defense has given up only 7 and has played great for a majority of the game. Gilly has looked great and neither QB has looked terrible just haven't had enough reps to settle in. Outside of penalties what is with all the complaints?

I hope WM tells one or the other at halftime that he's our QB and stop this two-QB nonsense right now. One of them has got to lead the team and they both look like they're pressing and trying too hard. Which is understandable with this stupid idea of alternating quarters. I'd take JD just because he can make some plays with his feet but either one would be o.k., just pick one and let's see if we can win this game.

Most of those were on bubble screens. Why not some passes down the field and in the middle of the field?

1. People aren't going to travel to see a mediocre team. The most hardcore fans will still make it (I will be hopping on a plane 3 times this year for it). But the marginal fans aren't going to bother. Every program needs their marginal fans.
2. Don't know. Very disappointed after consistently praising the secondary last year.
3. Have to call pass plays to have a passing offense. Also have to go three straight plays without committing a penalty to have any offense.
