Game Thread ***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs FSU***

[Born2beagator]

We abandoned everything that worked against atm and SC and AR decided to throw 400 yards but never rush. You cannot tell me that if we have the gameplan we had against sc against Vandy we don't roll up near 400 yards on the ground again. Florida wasn't outplayed. Florida didn't even show up to the game. That's on coaching and the players. Vandy did nothing to earn that game. They just let us give it to them

We are perfectly capable of crushing FSU this week. We have a running game that they can't stop heck between ar etn and Johnson i dont think anyone can stop it..the issue is will we game plan around it. I say if AR throws 20 times or more we get blown out. If it's less I say FSU gets blown out. Stop trying to make him tom Brady. Or if it's not the coaches telling him to pass then the coaches need to tell him that if he doesn't start using his legs his ass is benched.

you're the one whos always talking about how you believe napier is the guy, you think we are headed in the right direction, you believe the kids are buying in. you keep saying that drivel. most of the rest of us are just looking at the results.

so go ahead and tell us, because you're the one using them to form your position.
easily be 9-2... GTFOH. we could just as easily be 2-9. We are 6-5 exactly as I stated we were. Enough with the ifs and butts bullsht.

Why does it bother you?

So it's okay that y'all can say how bad Napier is but I can't disagree?

We'll know in a year or two.

I heard it all before, in the 80s when you were in diapers.

But it's okay. We're 6-5 and may be 6-6 or even 6-7. But it's not 0-10 -1 and that lead to an SEC.

Had some time and watched the presser today. I’ll give these guys credit, they make it hard to not pull for them. As mad as I’ve been at various points of the season, I still like the way Napier handles things and he seems supremely confident that they’ll soon be where they want to be. AR also seems ready to go this week and was very loose. Not sure what happened on Saturday, but hopefully they can put it behind them and crush these clowns.

Right now the forecast has a chance of rain, would think that would help us unless Billy decides to try and air it out again.

Really, you actually see the difference?

Things may not be as bad as it seems?

My 2,000th post. I'll be there, doubt we win and hear once again "aw shucks, this is a great program we lost to, I respect their coach" and then see all the "you can't expect better coaching to get more wins with virtually the same roster". Then the "it's alright Saban/Kirby". Then the "expecting to not have the possibility of a losing season and to not lose to a bad UK and Vandy team are examples of unrealistic expectations Gators have of the coach team."

Are you sharing these "sky is falling" butthurt thoughts on your podcast?

Some for sure this week. Maybe I'll re-record it. Haven't published yet. But seriously, tired of the lame excuses like Jeff Scott at USF is the same as Kirby Smart.

Yeah Norvell said on a couple occasions that they have focused on beating us all year. Billy didnt get us ready for Vandy so I have my doubts.

I'm of the belief that Napier is intentionally going to try and deflate the team so we'll lose. He WANTS to lose, he craves it, he loves the fallout. The man is mad, I tells ya.

Not sure why that was a problem when the running backs were under 3 ypc on 15 carries and we threw for 400 yards, but yes, passing was the reason we lost.

I feel like we're gonna win this one. There was 5 or 6 plays that if we don't shoot ourselves in the foot in last game, we win easily. There was 4 huge momentum killing penalties that were idiotic, Wilson dropped a pic 6. AR airmailed the game tieing td 20 yards over a receivers head. The biggest was we gave them a touchdown on that punt.

We weren't getting gashed on defense like we were earlier in the year and AR threw for 400+ yards and played good enough for us to win. I feel like we're still clicking and can go into Tallahassee and get a W.

Right. The facts are the guy doesnt seem to realize the importance of this game or any other game. He wants to win I am sure but worthless screen passes and runs up the middle with 8 in the box aint gonna get it done. I see our defense being clueless to stop the run and AR throwing bullets behind his receivers. I really want to feel and say differently but I cant at this point. Pleeeease prove me wrong.

I don't think many are saying this take though I know yours is sarcasm.

As I've said and will say. Year 2 tells me what I need to know. Every good coach has either a big jump in year two or in the "but Dabo..." scenario cuts coordinators who aren't getting the job done.
