Blaming the wrong unit
« on: August 03, 2018, 10:24:13 AM »
No, not a paternity issue.  The premise of this article is that the defense has been the cause of the year-end struggles Auburn has had recently.  Admittedly, they could have played better in the Peach (I think even CDavis admitted that their hearts weren't in it), but the struggles late in the year are largely offensive.

If your defense is holding the opposition under 20 points and you're still losing games...that's on the offense.

In 2016, Auburn was allowing 334.5 yards and 14.3 points entering the Iron Bowl, but losses to Alabama and Oklahoma saw those figures jump to 361.9 and 17.1 respectively.

Last season, the Tigers were allowing 303.3 yards and 16.4 points per game after the Iron Bowl but losses in the SEC Championship Game and Peach Bowl caused those stats to rise to 319.4 and 18.5.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

The leaders of Auburn's defense, coaches and players alike, are trying to ensure that doesn't happen again in 2018 and see if there are any adjustments that can be made before the season that can aid the Tigers down the stretch.
Hmmmmm...maybe not running the "man" at RB into the ground so that he gets hurt by season's end?  Oh wait...

You know I've had about all of that kind of talk I am going to listen to. 
You know how you play winning football? 
You play like Ed Gennero played.  He was a 140 pound halfback and he played like a wildman.  No! Like a rampaging beast!

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Now you go out there and you tear their fucking heads off!  Then you shit down their necks!

When the offense can't sustain drives, the defense suffers.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You’ve predetermined guilt by putting the label “offensive” on the guy.  He might just be mildly annoying.

Judging from several in-game threads, the playcalling is beyond annoying.
