Title: Thoughts - Week 1
Post by: Townhallsavoy on September 04, 2016, 09:06:36 AM
I don't know if I can do these every week after what I saw last night.

Auburn

- That was the worst offensive display of football I have ever seen in my entire life. And I do mean offensive. My safe space has been completely violated, and I feel like I need a therapist. I am a dedicated Auburn fan. I want to tailgate in Auburn or at home. I want to bullshit with my family and friends, with a beer in hand, and with the kids playing in the grass. I want to watch every Auburn game win or lose and feel like it's a part of my culture.

- I'm not doing this again. I saw this team last year, and it was awful. I saw it for a good chunk of 2014. I saw it for 2012. I saw it for most of 2011. I'm not going to subject myself to Auburn football if it means watching a completely unprepared team - or part of the team - take the field.

- I disagree with Stan White. And Jesse Palmer. And any other analyst that will say the same thing. Auburn was NOT struggling for an identity on offense. They weren't even trying. Gus Malzahn was not searching for which quarterback to play. He told us straight up that Sean White was the starter. All that meant was that White was getting the first snap of the game. Malzahn has decided to treat the quarterback position like one would a stable of running backs. It was laughable.

- I'm not going to say too much about who I think should start because I have no idea. Like I said before, there wasn't an identity struggle. I couldn't tell you what the different identities were. I don't know what each package was meant to accomplish.

- Does Gus know? Does he know why on 4th and 1 in the red zone he decided to go with Jeremy Johnson in the shotgun with no running backs for a quarterback draw? Has Gus never seen Johnson do the stutter step, half-assed jog, get tackled behind the line of scrimmage play? I saw it like ten times in 2015.

- And unfortunately we got what we've wanted since Tuberville was fired. We've said for years if only we had a defense...you better watch out SEC when we get a defense! And it looks like we got one. That was championship caliber defense against one of the most dynamic playmakers in the country.

- But who cares? I won't. I think I might have one more game in me just to see if Gus gets his head out of his ass and plays ONE quarterback. Maybe, just maybe, Gus will remember that he's not a rich dickhead that drives a BMW i8 around a small college town in Alabama and get back to playing hard nosed football with a strong running game and passes down field to keep the defense on their toes.

- Maybe he won't call plays that snap the ball to a white fullback that does a 360 spin and then runs the ball up the center's asshole. What the fuck was that? We did that play like 3 times. Jesus Christ!

- What worries me the most is that we've had off-the-field behavior issues and our team looks awfully undisciplined on the field. Tray Matthews showed his frustration with the decision to pop an opposing player in the face. I worry that this could get bad over the course of the season. If a Coker-at-Miami brawl ever took place at Jordan Hare, I think I would throw up.

The SEC

- is down. LSU, Tennessee, Miss State, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Missouri, Auburn, and Arkansas all suck.

Alabama

- is good. As usual.

- And from what I've read and heard already, get ready for the talk that their new quarterback is going to be better than Cam Newton if he isn't already. No I'm not joking. That's going to be the narrative that they push because they have a black kid that can make plays against a defeated Pac 12 team.

College Football

- Goddamn it, I love you college football. Everything about you besides the dominant run Alabama has had over the past decade.

- But you've given me Jay Jacobs. I don't know if I forgive you for it. Jacobs has tarnished Auburn's identity as a program (big screen TVs, rap music blasted over the band, overwhelming corporate sponsors, and the worst coaching hires of all time). Every sport seems to be down at Auburn and the one that was really good last year (equestrian) might get cut. But hey, we have nice shit like buildings and parking lots, so fuck you fans for wanting to see a respectable display of athletics as you come back to the Plains for an autumn Saturday.

- Fuck Jay Jacobs.

I'm trying to watch his press conference, but I can't get through it for the vomit on my computer screen. 

He was "encouraged."  He thinks the second half shows that we're going to be "a very good football team."

We had the ball inside their 10 twice in the second half and came away with no points primarily because HE fucked it up.  Idiotic, ignorant decisions and calls.  Whatever happened was in spite of them, not because of them. 

"They all three had packages, that was our plan.  Clemson did some unique things..."

Bullshit. 

Everything he said is stupid. 

"That was the plan. That was the plan. That was the plan." 

I want to support him, I want to like him.  He's not seeing the same thing anybody else is.  I want to punch him in the fucking throat.

"The first games are about adjustments.."

"Certain quarterbacks are better at certain plays.  That was the plan..."

And he's got the balls to be testy about it.  Not even willing to admit that it was a cluster fuck of epic proportions.  "That was the plan."

If it WAS the plan?  The fucking plan SUCKED.

Odd thing is, the Auburn defense kept us in that game. The Auburn defense would have won us that game if the offense could have scored one of those two blown opportunities.

This QB shuffle is going to make or break this year. If we can't stick with one and do what was seen last night, it will probably turn out to be a horrible season.

Kaos - if it was the plan, he should be let go today.

If I had an employee show up to work and do something that looked that stupid, unprepared, and detrimental to the overall company, I'd fire him immediately especially if he already had some marks on his record.

I'd question a pee wee coach making some of those decisions. I'd be less surprise to learn that Bama paid Gus to destroy our program than to learn that a coach being paid $5 million dollars for his expertise on offense to be that awful.

2014 made me wonder, 2015 made me question why I get so invested in a game. Last night not one time did scream at the TV, I just expected Auburn to be the cluster fuck that it was. It was a night game so I was home anyway. Like you said I don't have it in me anymore to commit myself to this and what we are.

We should have won that game by two touchdowns all because of our defense. And yes, if that was "the plan" then he should have never been allowed back in the locker room. His crap should have been waiting for him in a box outside the door. What a joke, what an embarrassment, what an abortion, what...just what was that?! Johnson should never ever be an option. Pick one of the other two and play the game!!

Thought about the debacle off an on all day. 

There's absolutely no excuse for what we saw Saturday night, nor the "that was the plan" press conference that displayed an amazing lack of awareness. 

I don't dislike Gus.  He's done some great things for us with some great players.  But he's fucked up as much as he's succeeded if you want to be brutally honest about it.

Barrett
Clint
Kodi

Sean

Are you really going to tell me Gus and Dipshitlee can't get one single serviceable quarterback out of that group?   They aren't lacking in talent. They just get brain fucked by the Malzahn method and fail to reach their potential. 

Whatever he's peddling isn't working. And it's not close.  It looks stupid and rinky dink.  Somewhere Houton Nutt is pumping his fist and going "Ahhh tollld ya brother! That shit ain't gonna work!" 

It made me sick to watch a little of Texas and Notre Dame and see Charlie Strong's group effectively run what looks like the offense we used to run with a freshman quarterback.  I had to turn it off it made my head hurt so badly. 

Look, I like Gus. I think he's a nice guy.  But what he's doing isn't working. He had all offseason to get things back on track, to find an offensive identity, to commit to something besides a clusterfuck of moronic "packages" and substitutions.

Here's the thing, though. Sometimes you have to make hard decisions.  One day next week I'm going to cut a guy loose who's worked for and with me since 1999.  I hate it, but I have few options left. He's done great work for me in the past, he was integral in building my business and was always on hand to do whatever. But over the last year, he's lost his way.  Twice he's missed major deadlines without any warning.  In July he had a significant release that he told me was handled and it failed in a major way.  It was a complete debacle. He recovered and got things caught up but then Friday he left on a two-week vacation. He had five things he had to do before he left. He only did one. He failed to promote some changes that broke things all over the place and had everybody else on my staff working 16-20 hours a day trying to fix what was messed up.  I like him. I like his wife and kids. It's going to make me sick to do it, but. The past is the past.  I gave him more latitude than I probably would anybody else. He blew it.

Same here.  It's blown. It's fucked so badly it can't be unfucked. 

Barring a miraculous turnaround (that's not going to happen so we can stop wishing it would) we will be looking for a new coach in December or earlier. 

The problem there is that LSU will also be looking. And as one of my LSU friends reminded me today "ours is the better job..."

And it's not just that.  Go back to his days at Arkansas/Tulsa.  No QB he's recruited out of high school has amounted to anything.  Remember Mitch Mustain?

Barring a miraculous turnaround (that's not going to happen so we can stop wishing it would) we will be looking for a new coach in December or earlier. 

I agree with you, the luster is off.  But I simply think that barring a 1-7, 4-8 season, we're stuck with him.  If we go 7-5, which I think we will, he will not be fired...  thanks to Jacobs, we can't afford it.

I thought about this last night. Texas who was dead in the water with Charlie Strong as head coach was able to start a true fucking freshman quarterback and pretty much run OUR offense from 2013. They even had Radio be able to sub in and make things happen with his legs. They turned their offense around in one offseason after a year of complete ineptitude.

Here's my biggest change in my opinion of Gus. I don't like the guy anymore. I don't think he's a nice guy. Nice guys don't drive a BMW i8 around a small town in Alabama, and believe me, he drives that thing like it's a regular every day car.

I think Gus came to Auburn still hungry for success and got a few big paychecks. It's Terry Bowden all over again. It's gone to his head. He probably drew up most of those plays while getting rubbed down with goats milk by a beautiful girl from Japan. Everything in his mind works out for him, and he's completely oblivious to how stupid he actually looks.

And Tennessee will be looking. Texas beat Notre Dame, but if they flub through the Big 12 schedule, they might be looking. And Texas A&M might be looking.

I'm now completely on board with firing Gus as soon as possible. Auburn should never field an offense that bad. Tony Franklin was sent packing in 2008, and even that wasn't as much of a clusterfuck as what we saw on Saturday night. If our defense hadn't played lights out, that game could have easily been a 20-30 point blowout.

We nearly lost to Jacksonville State last year. We were beaten by all of our rivals AGAIN. We lost to both Mississippi schools. We nearly lost to Kentucky. Even the San Jose State game wasn't enjoyable.

2014 was overloaded with talent on offense and was stifled due to stupid play calling.

We're 3-11 against our last 14 Power 5 opponents. We're staring at 3 years in a row of losing to Georgia and Alabama. 3 of 4 years losing to LSU.

As always though, this really goes back to the man making the hires and decisions for the overall program. Jay Jacobs has to go, and the program needs a complete overhaul.

Outside of two extreme outlier seasons, Auburn has been a lower tier SEC program since 2008. We're pushing an entire decade of feeling like losers especially against our rivals.

And what sucks the most is that it didn't have to be this way. Outside of Alabama, not one team in the SEC can really put a team on the field that will be more talented than what Auburn is capable of recruiting. We will always have the players. We just need consistent coaching.

You know as fucked as our offense looked the answer (short term) is to go with JF III and shelve the others. Option QB's like Marshall are basically determining down and distance which would remove a great portion of the bafoonery Gushlee could try. In addition, some weak spots up front can be better masked plus Kerryon seems to run more aggressively at the meshpoint. Look it's anybody's guess how this cat throws the ball. It might be another frustrating adventure for us to endure but I can't enjoy Auburn football with Gushlee having a free hand playing genius.
Our defense probably improves too with a more ground -based attack.
That's sorta where I am after a couple of days.

Jealous much? Look, Gus isn't a bad guy because of what car he drives no more than if he drove a '82 Silverado would make him a good guy.

Gus is and always has been a control freak and that has not changed. I agree with others who think it would take a 4-8 type year to get him out of here and this defense is good enough to win 5-6 games.

Stay the course. Wait this out. This too shall pass. Look at Texas. They hung with Charlie Strong and now they are beating Notre Dame on national television.

93.5% of this is wrong.

It's not a matter of jealousy.  Tooling around in a $150,000 car in Auburn is a bad look.  That's just the reality.  The car itself doesn't make him bad or good. It's the mentality of the choice to drive it.

He makes too much money and that's Jay's fault. He shows it off (while not performing at a level that justifies it) in a bad way.  If Auburn were dominating?  Drive an orange Ferrari with blue rims.  When you're flailing as badly as he is?  It just looks bad.

Wait it out?  Why?  Your reference to Charlie Strong isn't valid.  Strong struggled from the start, stayed the course and is building a better team.  Gus started hot, has recruited better than any coaching staff Auburn has ever had and has squandered that talent with questionable disciplinary choices and piss poor planning.  Every year has been a little worse. 

There is zero -- and I mean ZERO -- excuse for the shitshow on display Saturday.  That was pathetic, embarrassing and an absolute disgrace.  It was, without peer, the most fucked up, idiotic, clueless "gameplan" I've ever seen at any level of football.  I've seen women coaches of pee wee teams have a better grasp on game planning than that.  If he can't be the CEO that the program needs and if THAT is the result of him being more "hands on" then he absolutely, positively HAS.TO.GO.  Sooner rather than later.  And leave that ridiculous car behind.

Tooling around in a $150,000 car in Auburn is a bad look. 

Have you been to campus during the week and seen what's in the student parking lot? I assure you it's not a Kia dealership. Auburn is a school populated with upper-middle and upper class white kids. Gus's automotive choices fit right in with that.

Look, Jacobs has insured us against the blowing up of the program with the overpay and the huge buyout, I'm just trying to find the silver lining here. Life's too damn short as it is. I hate the product on the field; it's embarrassing, but blowing up another coach so JJ and the PTB can hire the coach at Autauga Academy or Tomato Can State is not going to make it better either.

This is in no way correct.  Gus's offense played like garbage last year and his only answer was to play more QBs?  I honestly don't know how any person could be proud of the offense (Gus's specialty) last Saturday. 

As I've been saying since last year, auburn was faced with the choice of firing him and moving on, or keeping him and setting the program back 3 more years.  I just hope the damage Gus does this year can be undone in a reasonable amount of time.

Fuck the decisions in the Chizik/Makzahn era which has finally led us to this.

When they brought up the list of starting QBs under, or taught by Coach Malzahn I had to stop and wonder if they would've been better at a different University...

'09 Chris Todd (JUCO QB)
'10 Cam Newton (JUCO QB)
'11 Barrett Trotter (multiple years in Malzahn's system)
'11 Clint Mosley (multiple years in Malzahn's system)
'12 Kiehl Frazier (multiple years in Malzahn's system)
'12 Jonathan Wallace (multiple years in Malzahn's system)
'13 & '14 Nick Marshall (JUCO QB)

'16 Sean White (multiple years in Malzahn's system)

I'd like to see our D-line get a little more active going forward.  Our top 4 tacklers were DBs with the linebackers next.  Despite the overall decent performance, that's never the way it should be.  However, tell me you didn't see night and day from last year to this in our LB play.  Fast, active and physical.

Whatever he's peddling isn't working. And it's not close.  It looks stupid and rinky dink.  Somewhere Houton Nutt is pumping his fist and going "Ahhh tollld ya brother! That shit ain't gonna work!" 

It made me sick to watch a little of Texas and Notre Dame and see Charlie Strong's group effectively run what looks like the offense we used to run with a freshman quarterback.  I had to turn it off it made my head hurt so badly. 

Look, I like Gus. I think he's a nice guy.  But what he's doing isn't working. He had all offseason to get things back on track, to find an offensive identity, to commit to something besides a clusterfuck of moronic "packages" and substitutions.

Here's the thing, though. Sometimes you have to make hard decisions.  One day next week I'm going to cut a guy loose who's worked for and with me since 1999.  I hate it, but I have few options left. He's done great work for me in the past, he was integral in building my business and was always on hand to do whatever. But over the last year, he's lost his way.  Twice he's missed major deadlines without any warning.  In July he had a significant release that he told me was handled and it failed in a major way.  It was a complete debacle. He recovered and got things caught up but then Friday he left on a two-week vacation. He had five things he had to do before he left. He only did one. He failed to promote some changes that broke things all over the place and had everybody else on my staff working 16-20 hours a day trying to fix what was messed up.  I like him. I like his wife and kids. It's going to make me sick to do it, but. The past is the past.  I gave him more latitude than I probably would anybody else. He blew it.

Same here.  It's blown. It's fucked so badly it can't be unfucked. 

Barring a miraculous turnaround (that's not going to happen so we can stop wishing it would) we will be looking for a new coach in December or earlier. 

The problem there is that LSU will also be looking. And as one of my LSU friends reminded me today "ours is the better job..."

A down Sec I think will save his job this year as we can prob still pull 6 wins. As bad as we were, we lost to the number 2 team by 6 with two chances to win at the end. I don't know how but we did. It isn't like we lost or almost lost to south Alabama or appy state. So that in itself will save him unless we see some chizik type blowouts ala 2011 and 2012.

And sadly, your friend is right. Theirs is a better job. Lsu is a cool program to me. They win. They get the state to themselves. And it's a cool culture in general. So yeah. Although their greed with thinking they are better than miles is pure dumbassery. He's won more there than any other coach. Including saban.

I'd like to see our D-line get a little more active going forward.  Our top 4 tacklers were DBs with the linebackers next.  Despite the overall decent performance, that's never the way it should be.  However, tell me you didn't see night and day from last year to this in our LB play.  Fast, active and physical.
Up front they tended to stick to a lane unless the play went outside. Last season they got blocked, rolled themselves out of a play or over persued.
LB play was solid and aggressive. We held them in check overall. Coverage in the secondary was very good. There are only a couple in college ball that are in the category of Mike Williams.
We had the personal foul and a couple of interference calls but it was a very good opening performance.

This is what scares me the most. Gus can justify the shitty performance with this right here. I am not sure if Gus will think his "plan" was unsuccessful since it was closer than everyone thought.

Man you are being picky...

I think the DB's had the most tackles because they threw the ball so much. The RB had virtually no where to go when they did run the ball. The DL also did a great job not letting the OL get to the next level to let those LB's get up field and come in with authority.

That was the best defense I have seen take the field since Tuberville. #7 was just too good. The back shoulder throw is what won the ball game for them. Davis had great coverage on the guy all night. The back shoulder throws were just too good. Maybe the only thing I would have done differently was bracket him to stop those throws, but I am not sure that would have mattered.

The ground-water is tainted.

It bubbles up most notably with team chemistry issues that seemingly never end.

Dye says it affected the coaching staff's ability to work together last year.  Men who make absurd amounts of money to coach a game couldn't put petty shit aside and be professionals.

Now, it's shining like a beacon from Gus's face.  He's acting petulant and shifty.  He doesn't like the scrutiny suddenly.  Something is going on behind the scenes.

Whom- or whatever is fucking with our football program must be rooted out: administration, rogue booster, ghost of Shug Jordan...

The more time I get away from this, the more angry/frustrated I get with it. 

At what point over the last nine months, the amount of time they've had since last season clunked to its dismal end, did the Gushlee braintrust actually devise this dipsy doodle hokey pokey bullshit gameplan?  At what point did they draw that bizarre bullshit up on the board and actually think it was a good idea?  How did they possibly sell the players on that bucket load of turds?  If you're Sean White why would you look at that dipshittery and not immediately decide to transfer? 

I'm not the smartest person in the world and the next college football game I coach will be the first, but even I knew by the fifth offensive snap that none of the things that were wrong last year had improved in the least.  I've seen elementary school kids drawing plays in the dirt do better than that.  Hell, I've drawn plays in the dirt that were better than that. 

Even more galling?  Z-E-R-O adjustments at halftime.  None.  Motherfuck, even Bowden managed that.  I can still remember games where we looked like discombobulated baboon shit in the first half and fixed it in the second.  Malzahn is apparently SO convinced of his genius that he's incapable of seeing that the fucked up "plan" isn't working and unwilling to make changes to it.  He'd rather stand up there after the game, tell everybody that "we're gonna work hard, we're gonna get better...... that was the plan" than he would take the necessary steps to unfuck what he fucked up. 

Everybody seems to forget that we had enough talent last year that most picked us to win the west.  And we've got more this season (with the exception of running back). 

I've (we've all said) that Malzahn sometimes appears to be learning on the job.  But after Saturday I've decided that he ISN'T learning.  I have no problem with people in my employ making mistakes and learning from those.  I do have a problem with them continuing to do the same stupid things again and again. 

Somebody said something about Malzahn being Bowden 2 and I think that's more accurate than any of us want to admit. 

I was coaching HS when Bowden was there.  Went to the first coaching clinic he held and he was fantastic.  Very engaged, spent a lot of time with us, worked through drills, we had whiteboard sessions, film sessions.  I was really impressed.  Went back to his coaching clinic in 1997 or 98.  The only time we saw him was at a group session in Beard-Eaves.  All the coaches were in the stands and he strolled in wearing a suit and sunglasses.  He had two or three players as his "bodyguards." They stood there like secret service while he gave a prepared speech and then escorted him out.  That was the only time we saw Terry.   Malzahn and the BMW remind me of that same sort of self-importance.  It's something I can see Terry doing. 

I'm angry now.  I'm pissed off that what we saw Saturday was what this coaching staff thought was the best they could put on the field.  It was humiliating and I don't want to see it again.

I agree with everything here....except me being picky.  You just shut up or I'll do....stuff.

Yeah, probably picky, but I was pulling up stats mainly because I was interested in seeing how a couple of guys, namely Darrell Williams and Montavious Atkinson, did.  As much as it seemed like we stuffed the run at times, I was surprised that all the down linemen were at the bottom of the list with the DB's leading the way.  On that note though, I thought the LB's had a very solid game overall.

If he would have played Sean White the entire game we win by 2 TD's, I firmly believe that.

They aren't happy with it, none of the QB's are.  There was a reason Sean wasn't available to the media, after the game.  Oh and Gus won't let Sean audible.

Pettway had 85% of the snaps in practice last week and played sparingly in the game.  No one knew what this gameplan was about.

Let's forget about us for a second and look at the rest of the league.  Will include a chance of beating them with the assumption that Gus unfucks his brain, establishes a single cohesive game plan as well as if he sticks with the fucked up nonsense we've seen with Clint/Kadreel/Barrett/Jonathan/Jeremy/Franklin/Sean.

If Gus had his head out of Lashlee's ass the West is wide open.  For second place, that is.   

LSU:  Just like us there was the promise of improvement, the changing of the staffs and then Brandon Harris was Brandon Harris.  I don't see that as being fixable in the short term.  They'd be better off putting a headset on the kid and go sink or swim with McMillan or Scott.  At least until Narcisse gets there.  They are trending down and a middle of the pack team.  Our Dline and LBs can stop Fournette (who is likely and understandably looking to save himself for the draft at this point) and if Harris is under center, he cannot throw enough to score on us.

Unfucked chance to win?  74%.  Fucked up chance?  20%

Arkansas: Another slow starting fat hog team.  Will get better as the year goes on and sadly we get them about the time they'll figure it all out.  If the defense stays salty, they won't be able to lean on us.  Should have beaten them last year (coaching staff fucked us out of it).  Not impressed with Bert and think they are a beatable team.

Unfucked chance to win? 57%.  Fucked up chance? 38%

Mississippi State: Not as bad as losing to South Alabama suggests, but this is a really bad team.  The problem is that we have the potential to be even worse on offense if something doesn't change quickly. 

Unfucked chance to win? 92%. Fucked up chance? 68%

Ole Miss:  They want to be the Chad Kelley show and are, after all is said and done still Ole Miss.  I'm not sold on Bucky Beaver and look forward to an NCAA raping that will slap them back to the 3-8 mediocrity that defined them for generations. We cannot continue to lose to these ridiculous fucks and be a legitimate football team.  Just can't.   They aren't that great and showed some significant cracks in the second half against FSU.  Still better than I wish they were.

Unfucked chance to win?  48%.  Fucked up chance?  14%

Texas A&M: Other than Alabama, probably the best team showing of opening weekend.  May end up being second or third in the west and save Drunk Sumlin's coed-chasing job. 

Unfucked chance to win?  37%.  Fucked up chance? 11%

Alabama: Should be illegal.  And is illegal when the rules are enforced.  Just when I think I could not hate them more I'm a Sunday "you got some shit smeared on yore back winder, hyuh, hyuh, hyuh" interaction from hating them even more than I did before.  They are on a run that is, frankly, unprecedented in the history of college football and something I prayed I would never again see in my lifetime.  I hate them not because they are good but because of the unjustified sense of superiority it gives to a legion of fuckholes who have no affiliation with the school other than a desperation-born sense of attachment that in their mind validates the sad, pathetic, powerless lives they lead.

Your percentages are pretty accurate, Only correction I might make was Ole Miss and A&M percentages.  I like us beating aTm more than Ole Piss.  aTm defense still sucks something bad. Again all based on us not having a bumfuck offense.

I agree with you other than that bold part.  I can't blame the coaches for 9 dropped passes when 3 of the 9 drops would have either scored a TD or moved the chains at a critical moment in the ball game.  Melvin Ray and Retardo Louis cost us that game.

This is in no way correct.  Gus's offense played like garbage last year and his only answer was to play more QBs?  I honestly don't know how any person could be proud of the offense (Gus's specialty) last Saturday. 

As I've been saying since last year, auburn was faced with the choice of firing him and moving on, or keeping him and setting the program back 3 more years.  I just hope the damage Gus does this year can be undone in a reasonable amount of time.

fudge the decisions in the Chizik/Makzahn era which has finally led us to this.

I watched Saturday hoping to see something different.  Instead I saw the same monkey fuckery.  So again, I'll just find something else to do. 

I rewatched some of the Clemson loss. It was even worse in retrospect. I have no real hope it will be changed. We heard Gus talk this same crap in many other years and it never changed.

Ehhh, I'm kind of with jarhead and Wes. We can still win 8-9 if we stop tripping over ourselves. Special teams is solid. D is solid. Just need Gus to quit fucking up the qb spot. And I think that directly affected O Line play. I firmly believe that if he puts Sean in there and keeps him there (other than the occasional read option package once a half with Jf) then we will win some games. Other than the qb shuffle all else seemed solid.

Yes it was worse, but I still have the itch

If Gus gets his head out of his ass I know this team can do big things.

A little Boudreauz' Butt Cream between the cheeks will take care of that.

A week in.  A day away from another Saturday.   And I don't care. 

I got that way last year.  For the first time in my life I didn't bother to watch several games.  Didn't even know we were playing sometimes. 

I watched Saturday hoping to see something different.  Instead I saw the same monkey fuckery.  So again, I'll just find something else to do. 

I rewatched some of the Clemson loss. It was even worse in retrospect. I have no real hope it will be changed. We heard Gus talk this same crap in many other years and it never changed.

Got the game set on the DVR, so I'll watch when I get home from the golfs in hopes that Gus pulls his head out of his ass. ( I don't have much hope of that). The Boo birds will be out on about the second or third 3 and out.


With all the BS and making statements about what the players feel from the NFL. I have officially quit watching them. Lets face it, the only local team really sucks and has for many years.

I said it before, one team (west coast most likely) will all together just quit playing the National Anthem before the game.

We as a country are getting so fucked up.

I can live with this.  foxynewsdot I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!!  I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others.  I like male genatalia in and around my mouth..  Oh, and I'm sure the one bringing them all together is obviously the Green Beret Long Snapper.


The Seattle Seahawks plan to make a “pregame demonstration of unity” before their season kicks off against the Miami Dolphins Sunday, according to wide receiver Doug Baldwin.


To express a desire to bring people together, our team will honor the country and flag in a pregame demonstration of unity.
— Doug Baldwin Jr (@DougBaldwinJr) September 8, 2016
Baldwin said in a tweet Thursday that the team plans to bring people together and honor the country and flag. The Seattle PI reported that Baldwin and his teammates had discussed making a statement following the protests by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane.

Kaepernick had caused a firestorm when he decided to sit for the National Anthem before a preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. Kaepernick said he was protesting what he believes is the unjust treatment of minorities in the U.S. and police brutality against African Americans.

On Sept. 1, Kaepernick and teammate Eric Reid kneeled during pregame ceremonies in San Diego while Lane sat the bench during the National Anthem in Oakland.

Baldwin had been outspoken about Kaepernick’s protest, using a parable to argue that people were more concerned with the quarterback’s method than his message.

"I think that's what the issue is here," Baldwin said. "We're missing the message in terms of what we're talking about. It's not necessarily about the messenger or about the protest itself. It's about what we're pointing to."

Former Seattle Seahawks long snapper Nate Boyer, who is also a former Army Green Beret, said that the Seahawks seemed to have found a way to get their message across while also showing respect for the National Anthem and the flag.


Talked to the @Seahawks What the team will do is a powerful sign of unification + respect for the Anthem + those that fight for our Freedom!
— Nate Boyer (@NateBoyer37) September 8, 2016
Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner had also signaled that if a demonstration were to happen, the entire team would take part.

"Anything that we want to do, it's not going to be individual," Wagner said. "It's going to be a team thing because that's what the world needs to see. The world needs to see people coming together versus being individuals."

Yeah they can play against one another remotely and handicap accordingly.

Thoughts Week 2?  Lamar Jackson of Louisville is one bad mofo.  He's played a total of 4 quarters so far and has accounted for 13 TD's.  Just hurdled a Syracuse defender like he was going for gold in Rio.  Dude can fly.  The level of competition so far may not be all that and a can of Bush's Baked Beans.  But this kid is fun to watch.

Jackson wound up with over 600 yards by his own damn self.  They've got FSU next week.  Gotta' admit, the Noles looked freaky against Cold Piss once they shook off the cobwebs.  That may be one to keep on the radar.
