7-5

we we might win a toss up vs arky or atm

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Really starting to question if Mullen has peaked. I think he has.

 

[KurtRambis4]

I really haven't

seen anything from AR and A&M to make me think they're better than LSU, right now, honestly.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Wasn't that pretty much the consensus before the season?

I'm pissed off as much as anyone, but we all agreed this was not the year where we would have all the pieces. This game certainly showed the pieces missing and where we are too young.

 

[Dawg1976]

KY and OM can beat us. I say we win one of the two and go 6-6.

 

[ronpolk]

Nah we still win 8 or 9. We are better or as good as everyone on our schedule except for bama. Bama will kick our *** but I think we win the rest. Maybe lose Arkansas or A&M.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Agreed. LSU win was complete Fools Gold.

 

[BossDawg78]

KY and OM can beat us. I say we win one of the two and go 6-6.

Surely we aren't that bad. If we lose to either of those teams AT HOME then the entire staff needs to be shown the door.

.....aww what the Hell am I thinking. Losing either of those games wouldn't surprise me.

 

[KurtRambis4]

You may be right

but what has UK or OM done to show they can beat us at home? Hell we skull 17d OM in Oxford last year.

 

[myusernamesucks]

You’re really not sure?? Go back and look at what we’ve done since we beat Auburn in 2014. For starters, we got our teeth kicked in by GT in the orange bowl at the conclusion of that season.

2–15 in games where both teams were ranked. One of the worst records of all time.
Atlanta? Not even close.
No wins against Bama.
4 DCs in 4 seasons, potentially a 5th in 5.
And on and on and on.

Hes stealing money at this point. A lot of money.

 

[patdog]

I say we win both of those, plus 1 on the road between Arky and A&M to finish 8-4.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

********. Ole Miss is one-dimensional and cannot stop anyone running the ball... anyone.
You are watching bama crush them right?

Kentucky held on 24-20 against eastern michigan. And we are at home.

Abandon all hope if you want to but don't judge the rest of our season on two road beatdowns by good SEC teams.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

w for byu, uk, umass, um

OM is not a give me...Their receivers will chew us up. Depends on if we can run on them like last year.

 

[Shamoan]

They are dogshit, but both those games are on the road. We can't move the ball when the crowd gets into it in loud sec environments. 35 yards surrendered on false starts alone. Pathetic

 

[57stratdawg]

I hear you, but I don’t feel great about their passing attack matched up with our DBs.

 

[Shamoan]

Neutral field, I think we win both, but we look pathetic in our road games save la tech. These environments are getting to the players and coaches

 

[Shamoan]

They pass 80% of the time....they couldn't be more one dimensional. We won't have to defend both after we stuff the run early. They aren't a layup, but neither is Kentucky

 

[thatsbaseball]

I was sitting here thinking the same thing

 

[thatsbaseball]

They aren't anymore one dimensional than us.....

 

[Go Budaw]

KY and OM can beat us. I say we win one of the two and go 6-6.

I think there is no way in hell it happens, but an OM loss, with what they are going through, should be an automatic dismissal for Mullen and I really don't care what happens in any of the other remaining games. That team will have more than quit by the time they get to Starkville and they weren't that good to begin with. That has to be a W, no ifs, ands, or buts.

 

[Negative Waves]

Holy cow some of you need to take a breath and step away from the ledge. We will win probably all but Bama because the rest of the schedule’s defenses are mediocre. We will be able to run the ball which will open up the passing game. Auburn and Georgia have two of the best defenses in the country. Sometimes I absolutely hate the suicidal mentality of fellow State fans.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

Exactly. Damn we have add some ignorant posters on here. Bama auburn and uga have elite lines on both sides. Nobody else is close to them. Well win 8 or 9 games.
Also...as for tonight and everybody being stupid based off the final score. If we have that td they took away and the calls arent completely one sided it about 14-20 deep in the 3rd. The play calling was massively affected based off the score that was skewed becsusr of the calls and that loss of 4pts. We likely still lose based off the penalties and dropped passes alone but its s different game late for sure.

 

[klong-dog]

Neutral field, I think we win both, but we look pathetic in our road games save la tech. These environments are getting to the players and coaches

This. I wouldn't count any sec game on the road as a good shot at a win. We get easily intimidated and blow *** continuously over and and over again.

 

[LTblows]

You've gone full retard.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Agree to a point. This defense is starting to remind me a little bit of Joe Lee in 2001. Aggressive, high risk high reward, but without the players capable of covering one on one resulting in the back breaking huge plays. Hell, the D had two sacks, and 7 TFL. They also gave up runs of 59, 67, and 30 yards, and 4 passes of 45+ yards. Here's the glaring stat in the last two games - Against Georgia, 0 passes defended, Georgia 6, against Auburn, 1 pass defended, Auburn 12.

 

[missouridawg]

you misspelled "when we play top10 defenses on the road"

yall need to take some midol.... tonight sucked ***, but we still got a solid shot 9-3 which would be a fantastic season

 

[Shamoan]

We might have a solid shot, but I doubt you are predicting both as road wins.....so I would point you back to the op where I said we might win one of our toss ups. We arent going 9-3.

 

[paindonthurt_]

Some of them need to go ahead and take the next step

 

[TheStateUofMS]

We just played our toughest stretch @UGA and @AUB both of which can and maybe will beat Bama. Relax dude.

If you want to beat Aub and UGA and Bama on a regular basis, you need to recruit in the top 10 every year. Our recruiting is improving and the good news is other than Bama, we should be able to move the ball pretty well against every other team on our schedule. We can still win 8 games.

The good news is Dan is a helluva coach and we should have years where we contend and with our recruiting getting better we should have those years more often.

Ole Miss just got beat 66-3 and they have recruited a little better than us (on paper), but they do have a heck of a QB with some awesome WRs and they still couldn't move it on Bama.

When the talent that is brought in to teams like Aub, UGA and Bama is developed and maximized, there's not much parity at the top of the rankings. Those 3 teams are certainly top 5ish in terms of talent on their roster.

Griese saw Auburn v Clemson this year and he says their DL may be better than Bama's.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

I'm with you MissouriDawg. UGA is legit. They will win the east and beat either Bama or Aub to win the SECCG in my opinion.

 

[Drebin]

KY and OM can beat us. I say we win one of the two and go 6-6.

The same Kentucky that only neat eastern Kentucky by 4 yesterday? Jeez, you folks need to calm down. There is only one more loss on the schedule.

 

[KurtRambis4]

But cookie croomz sayz Merlinz sux!!1*

[KurtRambis4]

The defenses we faced,

of which youre drawing these conclusions from, are also 10000x better than AR and A&M's.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

Too soon. Way to much sense and rational in your post. I find nary a single jab at Mullen, his shorts or whether he grinned or not. Please re-write in a more apocolyptic tone, dire references to hevesy, and a touch of umbrage about accepting mediocrity.

 

[maroonmadman]

Just a few weeks back, before LSU - UGA - Aub, the general consensus was we'd go 1-2 most likely, 2-1 would be outstanding and 3-0 would be a miracle. Well we're right where we thought we'd be - at least where a consensus of us thought we'd be, and you folks act like it's the end of the world. I'm disappointed we weren't more competitive in the 2 losses but I'll take the blowout win. Lots of games left.

 

[the dog is on the loose]

At this point I wouldn't go all out and predict anything. Everyone knows we have that Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde syndrome. I definitely would not say arky and a&m are gimmes. In fact I believe we will have to play our best to beat those two because they're road games. So even if we only lose one more game I'm still pissed that we cannot even compete against top fifteen teams. There is no excuse for us to have crappy o lines year in and year out. You build your team around the oline. That's at the least why sherrill was successful. Heck, we really didn't have good qb's back then but really good olines that masked a lot of deficiencies.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Exactly.

Last night was just a chance for the emotionally unstable to stick their chest out and say "see Merluns DOEs Suk!!"
