  1. This is getting a lot of talk the last few weeks. But at this point it's pretty obvious that it's flat out the design of our offense and intentional. QE is elite at hitting the short passing game within 5 yards of the LOS in stride with an opportunity to win 1 on 1 matchups. Our running game is limited between the tackles (both from an OL weakness and RB skillset perspective) but both Wisner and Blue are good to great in the passing game. We have a massive skill position advantage against every team on our schedule not named UGA so those are winning matchups and a 7 yard swing pass or WR screen works just as well as a 7 yard run. Also, when it's working like it did yesterday, it helps set up the deep shots or schemed wheel routes, etc. I'm not saying Quinn doesn't have a tendency to check down too quickly when he's feeling pressure and we aren't keeping pocket clean (he does) but more often than not the short passing game is by design.
  2. I mean that is the only good thing to come out of that debacle in '21. I don't think Sark will ever underestimate the hatred those poors have for Texas again. If Pittman's seat is still considered warm, he knows damn well a win against Texas probably gets him an extension. This is their season and I think this time Sark will at least do everything he can to get the team to understand what they will be walking into. I think with A&M our guys fully appreciate they are walking into a fistfight. I don't think anyone naturally thinks that about Arkansas except Arkansas because it's such a weird one-sided inferiority complex that fuels it. Hopefully the team takes in that message.
  3. I think what was so frustrating for everyone is against Vandy is that was a game we should have won 20+ if we play a B+ game on offense. Other than that 1 massive bust by DJ Cambell OL has played solid. Hell even some decent RB pass pro. Just keep the damn pocket clean and this offense will fucking cook.
  4. This. Bad game by Moore. He's been great otherwise this year.
  5. Ewers is getting hot. That was a perfect ball and pretty much a perfect series by him. Moore just having one of those days.
  6. Go routes with Helm across the middle right damn now.
  7. This is the ass kicking we needed.
  8. I'm sure they will come back and win by 14 but they are not a top 5 team. Not to go all "SEC" but that is a 2-4 loss team in this conference depending on their draw.
  9. You don't think a D1 WR should make that catch? This board is so insufferable it's laughable. I'm sure people will start bitching about that pass because it was a 'short pass' (like it isn't by design when you have our RB skill sets for THAT EXACT FUCKING REASON).
  10. "This" version of Quinn Ewers also had a great ball on 3rd and 10 the start the series. It wasn't a great throw but that drop is 100% on Moore. Calm down. He's probably had 3 missed throws and making all the right reads outside of 1 play.
  11. Underthrown but can't drop that. JFC
  12. I mean they are on their 3rd QB and have a ton of injuries. I think he's done a pretty decent job this season all things considered.
  13. At least their kicker sucks as well.
  14. I agree completely. Immigration didn't help. Woke nonsense didn't help. But at the end of the day it's always the economy (stupid). D's will have every opportunity in the world to regain votes next cycle if they can fix messaging and focus on shit people actually care about as the average voter simply does not comprehend that prices are NEVER going back to pre-COVID levels under any administration. And if Trump actually implements his tariffs high interest rates won't be going anywhere either absent a recession.
  15. Per a tweet, the polymarket betting forecast electoral map on 10/25 matched the final results by state precisely. So yeah, maybe we should not have dismissed that.
  16. What is crazy is that the smartest person I know on the right (and fight with frequently) has been telling me for 2 weeks this is exactly what was going to happen. He had plenty of links (most of which I didn't open out of fear of Elon Musking my feed) supporting this outcome. The actual outcome pretty much mirrored the betting market expectations. I posted about this last week that I was so confused how 2 sides were so confident. I was wishcasting the confidence from the right was all part of the plan to challenge the election (and maybe that was the case) but those that followed closely on that side were not surprised. It seemed to me everyone's expectations were totally dependent on their personal algorithm (and national media/pollsters just hedged their bets calling it a tossup). I wonder if the D insiders actually had bad some bad data and just hoped it was wrong or refused to believe it.
  17. LOL. Here we go again. Anyone trying to open your eyes to fucking reality is a "Magatard". JFC. Everything about your posting perfectly encapsulates how out of touch the average 'liberal' is and why the D's got fucking smoked. Maybe you should pay attention when other D voters like me attempt to inject a little reality into your fucking echo chamber. That you think the fucking "MSM" being meaner to Trump could have in any way positively impacted the election for democrats in the year 2024 is proof positive you are completely clueless.
  18. Do you think the people that voted for Trump read the fucking NYT's or any other newspapers. You have your head in the sand.
  19. I think the economy drove the election as a whole but do think this explains a big chunk of young voters particularly on college campuses. I saw data last night showing young voters skewing trump and anecotal discussion about fraternities at Michigan State and other schools that are typically disinterested in politics organizing to "get out the vote" for Trump. I have no doubt all of the idiotic 'free palestine' encampments impacting college campuses across the country pissed off the silent majority. Their revenge was voting for Trump.
  20. I finally agree with BO&W about something. This was always the most important factor. Period. Immigration and culture wars didn't help but it's always the economy in the eyes of the average joe living paycheck to paycheck (not those of us with disposable income and investments soaring along with inflation).
  21. I don't even think it was that. She actually ended up being a better candidate than I thought she would. Doubtful she wins in a true primary process but i'm not convinced anyone could have done much better. I think it came down to 2 things that I previewed last year and was shit all over in this forum. Rapid inflation over last 4 years (which was inevitable regardless of executive control but that doesn't matter as party in charge will always get the blame) which was the biggest problem, combined with the now 'fact' that progressive ideas/PC culture are just flat out losers. MAGA made it a culture war and it worked. Nobody wants to hear it or accept it but it's the truth. For example, not being able to just flat out say unequivocally "biological men should not play women's sports" is a loser. It doesn't matter if it's not happening in reality (we know it's not). This was a referendum on the economy and 'woke' culture in a social media algorithm driven world and there aren't enough educated voters who have retained the ability to critically analyze issues left to make a difference. This is an era of low information voters across all age groups and demographics, and regardless how much I didn't want to believe it would actually happen, it swung the way I felt it might for the past 2 years (although I never thought it would be a full popular vote shift). I'm going to retire away from the cloak room again, but I'll be fascinated to see WTF the D party does when the dust settles because this was a shock to the system.
  22. I 100% agree with all of this. The only sliver of hope is that at the end of the day, Trump does whatever the fuck he wants, period, so maybe he's just not in the mood to deal with criticism for the worst of the worst ideas. I fully acknowledge possibility that doesn't happen and the Miller's and Musk's of the world actually get their way.
