Danny,
sadgator loves you like a son, he really does…
But what do you know from a “football” perspective that demonstrates that what we have all personally witnessed for the last 5 games…including the spring game debacle…isn’t exactly what Florida is under Napier?
At some point, you have to say, “what I am seeing is exactly what it is…”
…and it isn’t good in any way….
Well luckily I can answer that question.
I will preface this with the following: no one here has watched a Gator game with me. I am insufferable. I shout things out of passion and blind alcoholic rage that would get me canceled. Why? Meh. I am who I am. But I made a promise to myself that I would do my best to watch the game from a...strategic standpoint. I would do my best to be calm. Analytical, even.
I also was not surprised to see people like Fever show their true colors losing their minds early in the wee hours and over reacting.
Was it what I wanted to see? Absolutely not. Did I wait and try to be measured? Yes.
The over reactions are absurd. We have a completely new offensive line and if I understand it, 2 backups playing due to injury. Offensive line is tricky because they need to gel and work as a unit, and that comes with time. Always has. Instead of hearing that argument, all I saw was people screaming about discipline and obviously that's a lax approach allowed by the coaching staff in practice.
Still hearing people bemoan Billy's play calling. Nothing wrong with the play calls (yes, they're a bad play calls that literally every team has, it happens). Fever was literally cumming all over himself that Mertz was awful, despite the numbers. That is solely agenda based when posting at 12:37 am central time. Offensive line was atrocious. And I've already addressed that.
I do understand that it's Tyne trend to be BONG and just scream about how everything is awful.
Mertz was throwing great balls. Threw pretty deep balls with tight spirals. Meanwhile Ricky Pearsall was dressed like he played, sloppy. Then he turned it on when it was too late.
What I don't understand is how I can be drunk and watch a game and reason out what was actually happening and you grown as adults lose your minds and, as I said before (and I know Bradley doesn't care for me) shallow as a damned puddle.
You all do realize that a good play can also be a bad play, right? Y'all do remember when Wuerffel would lead a touchdown drive and Spurrier would tear into him on the sideline. Why is that? Because he knows that, despite the outcome, there would be missed reads. Bad routes. The minutiae that the "fan" doesn't see.
Were there frustrating moments? No effing duh. But if you can't look deeper into it, I don't know what to tell you. You all just start saying things like "Napier is a drooling idiot" and "there's no energy."
We ran the ball for 13 yards! Well....that not true. That's after sack yardage. There's no discipline! Brand new offensive line with a couple of backups.
Again. We have to clean it up, but it's not "the worst team in 45 years."
And the Fevers, Michis (who conveniently showed up for the first time in months to bitch and moan) and the instas all have carefully constructed agendas that over rise their supposed love for the program.
You know my favorite one? When somebody said that Billy needs to fire 20+ Off field assistants so we can afford an OC. Yeah. That's not how it works. This isn't the NFL. You have a limited number of infield coaches. But apparently some people don't understand that. But I'm the idiot.
Do you get it now?
Also too long did not read.
