    My post "Sorry, sorry playcalling" is my opinion. I didn't mention Fisher or he sucks.........just sorry playcalling. If you or the a-hole Red don't like it, don't read it and don't post.

    Somebody writes something you don't like, the first thing out is "Go find a new team......." Anyone who criticizes this team isn't talking to you. They present an opinion.....if you don't like it, leave it alone. Start your own post about how great we are for Auburn's kicker hitting the upright. Then all you guys can sit there and post how great the team is. That's how things should work.........

    So that's the only play that decided the outcome?

    How about that 41 yarder to Buster after Auburn took the lead?
    How about the TD pass that Bowe did catch?
    How about Bowe's juggling catch to keep a crucial drive going?
    How about a scoring drive that answered AU's go ahead touchdown with 4 minutes left?
    How about a clutch 44 yard FG by a kicker that had missed a shorter one earlier?
    How about a defense that kept Auburn out of the endzone in the 2nd OT possession?
    How about a special teams unit that scored a crucial touchdown?

    You can be negative or you can be positive. That's all I'm saying.

    I'm positive.........I'm positive we won and that's great. So what, we just sit around here and say "Nice defense we have huh?" "Man, that Kyle Williams is good." Who made a few guys the homeroom monitors around here? Bet you were walking around in the halls at school...."No running....Ms. Jackson said no running in the halls guys."

    Is that what a board is for? I know Kyle Williams is good, and the defense played as hard as they could, and they are only kids. I get it. But for somebody to be called an a-hole cause they think the playcalling hasn't been very good, is ridiculous.

    How bout we break the board into Positive and Negative Postlands? You guys can sit and write thread after thread about how good Kyle Williams and Wroten is and what color t-shirt can we wear to the game this week.

    Then we'll have what you call, Negative Postland where I say the playcalling sucked. Glad we won but the playcalling sucked. Then we'll see what area gets the most posts. You'll be posting in the Negative Postland because it's something to talk about. Half-full, half-empty whatever. I know they won and I'd rather win than lose but this team has mucho problems with certain things.

    If some people can't stand anyone pointing that out, then don't post. I don't post in your Happyland posts. Nothing to say really.....they won because a kicker hit the upright and missed 5 kicks. Yippee do dah.....

    Seriously, I've never coached and I'm confused as to what constitutes "good" or "bad" playcalling. You can basically run or pass, right? The down/distance and game situation will normally dictate what one should call on a particular play, I assume. Do you judge a play call's success by the outcome of the play? I don't think that's fair because it's hindsight. Certainly, if the playcaller knew the outcome before he called it, it would affect the call. How do you factor in audibles into your playcalling criticisms? Oftentimes, the OC will call one play and the QB sees something that causes him to change the call. Is the "bad playcalling" the one originally called or the one that the QB checked off to? During the game, are you amazing your friends by pointing out (in the alloted 25 seconds, mind you) what the correct play call should be? Or do you, after the play is stuffed, scream that "THAT CALL SUCKED"? I suggest that, unless it's the former, then you have no standing to criticize the call.

    Also, to enhance your credibility, please enlighten me as to your coaching experience so I may be less inclined to point out that you have no f*cking idea what you are talking about.

    I did that on purpose, you proved my point once again!
    Thank You
    Your post doesn't make any sense about suppose Bowe caught the ball
    because he didn't.
    Suppose there was a hurricane in LA and the game was cancelled, same
    difference.
    I'll say it again.
    You are inconsistant, you call people whiners then you whine about them.
    That makes you a whiner also btw.
    Just like you whine about my spelling and ignore others! :thumb:

    You are really out of your league here. You may want to sit this one out.
    By the way, did you purposely misspell inconsistent again?

    I played for the Packers and Raiders and coached the Chiefs after Hank Stram. We were in a rebuilding phase and was forced out after 4 years.

    I don't think you read the post. I said Sorry, Sorry Playcalling because it looked a bunch like the Tenn. game IMO where they were making Russell throw really safe passes....outs again and again. And my point was that if they are so afraid to let him throw the ball up the field and make him throw outs over and over, then they need to let someone play who they do have confidence in to run a real college offense.

    If 19 out of 23 passes are some sort of an out, then to me, they have little or no confidence in him to throw the ball up the field.......over the middle. If that's the case then they need a QB that they have confidence in to throw the ball and run a full offense. He didn't play that bad........many drops, he had several receivers wide open at times but didn't see them, etc against a good defense.

    So you think that when you have 8 series in a row of 3 and out----"Man, we are just having really bad luck huh?"

    Well, there are players on the other side of the LOS. That could have something to do with it.

    If you always worded your concerns or opinions as you did there, we could engage in serious discussions. That's the point CParso was trying to make.

    Those were the only words you needed to type. You call yourself Saban fan yet you and Saban are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Saban said in his interview what the Tiger fans you call idiots have been saying for years. Why didn't you call him a moron and tell him to STFU. I think Saban would be calling you the idiot for not seeing the obvious and being satisfied with underachieving. You are like the kid that is capable of making straight A's in school but is satisfied to slide by with C's. It's a loser mentality to be satisfied with less than you are capable of Saban knows that why doesn't sabanfan?
