Great poll. While the vast majority of votes would be that we will win 1 or 2 of the final 3, the only options given are “we win out” or “no expectations going forward.”
New poll - when I read this thread, it makes me think:
(1) Why has this poster recently become a troll?
(2) Has this poster always been a troll?
So since when did having critical feelings towards your favorite football program when they continually FAIL to meet expectations and continually FAIL to sustain success all of a sudden becoms the definition of a troll? Troll is becoming just as overused and abused and misconstrued as the word "homer".
I have maintained since the beginning of spring camp that this was the year we should finally follow up a 9+ win season with a similarly successful season. That meant winning 2-4 of Miami, VT, Clemson and UGA. It did not include losing to UT (who is hot garbage come to find out) and UVA. I have maintained I would be extremely disappointed if we did not meet that expectation I had. All the tools are there. This team cannot finish. This team cannot put together back to back good seasons under Paul Johnson. Highs are high but the lows are really low. There is no consistency.
2015 it was injuries. 2017 it is rain. Whats the next excuse? You know there is a chance its going to rain in these games. Why are you not spending practice time pitching and throwing a wet football to prepare your team. UGA spends practice time with wet balls weekly rain or shine. This is called attention to detail. Its called coaching. The fact that our team is so woefully unprepared the minute adversity hits is a direct result of the coaches not putting them into positions to succeed. Then we have to listen to our coach get pissy with the media while he blames everybody but himself or blames injuries and the weather.
Coach Paul Johnson has some serious **** to address. Special teams is still a crap show 9 years into this. The offensive line still underperforms in years where we have loads of experience and they still cant passblock a fart from wafting into our QBs delicate nostrils. The defense has ZERO pass rush.
All of these things are a constant under PJ. Just like 11-3 seasons followed by 3-9, followed by 9-4 followed by 5-6 (most likely). If you want to continue to make excuses for this then by all means continue. I wont apologize for demanding better even if I have to question the "we cant do any better than Paul Johnson". He has given us some great years. He has also given us some really crappy years. What he hasnt given us is really good years followed by pretty good years (8-9 wins). Its either 9+ or 7 or less. Thats why we dont get better in recruiting nor garner any respect nationally or from
Atlanta media. We cannot sustain success. It always comes down to "oh well we are 1 or 2 plays away from being 10-2 instead of 6-6". Im tired of that ****. Well coaches teams make thoss 1 to 2 plays. But here we are again this season saying the same ****. Failure to execute in those critical moments is coaching. Not bad luck. We have a pattern here and luck has nothing to do with it.
