I know you’re upset, but this team can still make the playoff

it was a perfect storm of mistakes and inspired play from the opponent last night. We should have been better. We should have converted the TD to Hilton, the FGs. Should not have thrown into coverage up 17-7, should have been able to stop the read option, but we didn’t.

It was awful.

But we can still win out. Alabama is mediocre and undisciplined. Florida will be in shambles, Vandy is another one-trick pony and OU will be ready for it all to be over.

The coaches and players will realize mistakes and correct them. We will be ready in two weeks.

This team has all kinds of problems. They are not making the playoffs and will struggle against Florida and Oklahoma.

I also know that some of you love to knock us when we are down.

Yes, this team has issues, but so does everyone. We can minimize ours, and we have some talented players and smart coaches.

Last night was bad, but remember we’ve had plenty of good this season. Which do you choose to believe?

No running game, no chance. Bama wins by 10 in 2 weeks

Inspired play from the opponent? We gave them that game.

The USC loss gave us very little margin for error. After that loss my expectations changed. That game really stung.

yes, and will lose to Bama.

And Vandy is a legit team this year, and beating them isn't guaranteed.

Ironic that OU may be the easiest game on the remaining schedule.

OU definitely the easiest game on the schedule.

But what about Alabama’s performance against South Carolina or Tennessee makes you think they can beat us by 10?

What about Florida has inspired such fear? Don’t we make fun of Billy Napier?

What about Vanderbilt, other than their defeat of Alabama? Was it how they nearly beat Missouri? Was it how they lost to Texas, despite Texas making mistake after mistake?

We can and should win the rest of our games. Be ready.

Don’t care; Kelly can’t win big games

You mean like he didn’t beat Alabama in 2022?

Like he didn’t beat Ole Miss this year?

Oh got it. It’s only a big game if we lose.

Dude, it would be a freakin' miracle if we conjure up 3 more wins.

2-2 the rest of the way, 8-4 going into the bowl game is the top of the bell curve here.

The “top of the bell curve” is 11-2 SEC Champions, #2 or #3 seed for the playoffs.

Even though that’s not what the top of the bell curve means.

Don’t let 20 minutes of the worst we can possibly play cloud your vision of this team.

What it was was a revelation of what this team is now. It is middling. Who are the game breakers? Based on last night LSU has none. Got completely blown out in the second half. Kelly has many ways to lose.

I know what I'm about, son. "Top of the bell curve" here means statistically most likely. #Accurate

My apologies then.

I would probably argue that 9-3 is the statistically most likely, but I believe that this team can triumph over than and finish the regular season on a 4-game win streak.

This team will have a hard time defending Milroe and Pavia. Very seriously looking at 4 losses.

OR, the coaches and players will realize correctable mistakes, play cleaner games and win the last 4 to go to the SEC CG.
