Just read this quote from UGA TE Jeb Blazevich about their loss before the bye week and it reminds me of the "fool's gold" comments about our team and the play of the offense.
The "pumpers" of the board will say, "Hey, no problems....we won!" Others will say, "yeah, this offense is a disaster waiting to happen". Take a look at the quote from the UGA TE and see how it could easily be one of our players after losing a game we shouldn't.
Now they go into their bye week understanding that their offense is broken...and more urgency to fix it than if they had won the Vandy game:

“Obviously we want to win that game, I don’t think there’s ever a perfect time (to lose) at the halfway point,” junior tight end Jeb Blazevich said, according to 247Sports. “But I will say this, and I think coach touched on it a little bit. This is going to sound terrible: It’s almost good in a way. Because if we do win by a field goal, we still have the same problems, then we might not recognize it the same way we do now. But now it’s in our face, it’s pressing us, we’re almost forced to address all the issues that we were having.
“Especially on offense, in my world offense and the tight end unit,” he continued. “Now we almost have to address it, instead of getting a win and falling into that security blanket, whatever you want to call it, ‘Well we won so we can just focus on what’s next.’ It’s like, Hey we obviously have issues, we need to fix it this week.”
