Hey, it's okay though. I like where the team is heading. I love that Jimbo is our coach. Do we maybe need a new OC, eh, sure. Still love watching this team fight to the end.

---

So you love Jimbo but also want to fire Jimbo? You know Jimbo in reality is the OC, right????????

He is far far far too stubborn to hand over primary OC duties. We either live or die by the Jimbo ways within our offense. I am fearful that Jimbo's ways are becoming outdated.

9-3 or 10-2 ???

We'll be lucky to finish 4th place in the west

Exactly, I don't see any way we get 9 or 10 wins, I mean we have a qb afraid to throw the ball and a run game that can't pound it on a 3 man front - we screwed

We only have half of a team. We are not winning 9 unless something drastically changes on offense.

We can't score enough to beat any other SEC team on our schedule, embrace the horror….,

Another coach who can't recruit well enough to keep the offensive line from going good to bad year to year. And can't/doesnt use the portal or juco colleges to help fill in holes.

10-2 or 9-3? You guys never learn. 6-6 or 7-5 at best.

Ok but you made this identical response last year right?

8-4 Tops
Losses to Bama, Missouri, Mississippi
Very realistic 7-5
Add LSU
And a possible 6-6
Add auburn

Calzada is not going to win 5 SEC games.

2 at the most...State & Carolina

here is some good news.

the A&M defense ranks #2 nationally in scoring defense (points allowed)

and #23 nationally in yards per game

7-5 or 6-6 unless OL and QB play improve dramatically this week (probably not going to happen).

Prairie View and South Carolina should be wins, but with our offense, every win except for PVU will be 10 points or less.

Miss State: push
Bama: L, (we get steamrolled)
@Mizzou: L
USCe: W
Auburn: L (might keep it close)
@Ole Miss: L (we get steamrolled)
Prarie View: W
@LSU: L (LSU will have their act together by the time we play them)

We might as well start playing the underclassman WRs a lot at this point.

We don't know any of that.

We won't know it until it's finished. That's why they actually play the games.

I'm trying to remember when was the last time our offense was this bad. There must have been a time since 2000 when the offense looked this inept, but I can't recall. Maybe '96 when we were breaking in new quarterbacks and we had one of the youngest teams in Division I. I know we have potential, but we can't run the ball consistently with this OL and our passing game is worse.

How bout rushing D?

Y'all are crazy to think that we sniff 9-3 or 10-2. Aside from everything listed above, we realistically have no idea how good Arkansas actually is this year. They barely snuck by Rice then beat up on way overrated tu and Texas A&M. What's going to happen if they get absolutely boat-raced by Georgia next week?

To be 10-2 the offense has to be restructured. So far Fisher has been too hard headed to do that. If we don't see something different next week after yesterday's wake up, he probably won't.

I think all y'all are severely underestimating how much different this team is going to play once King is back.

I see a lot of complainers not recognizing that Arkansas actually has a good team this year. The only teams in the SEC better than them are Bama, UGA, and maybe UF and Ole Miss depending on when they play. Our O Line hasn't jelled partly because we're playing true freshmen, and our QB1 went down. When you come into a season with realistic expectations, the mask is off and everyone approaches their game with you like it's their Super Bowl. We're apparently not ready to handle everyone's best shot just yet, but get King healthy and get the talented O Line a few more games' experience and their youth will give us a solid O Line for a long time. We're still moving in the right direction in the long term and just need to let the season play out.

Why? Who's going to throw it to them?

Haynes will not lose to all 3 of Ole Miss, LSU and Auburn.

Not going to happen.

I knew Arky was improved before we played them. Pittman and staff have only been there two years and Arkansas was one of the worst teams in the country when he arrived. What's our excuse?

I don't think Arkansas is that much better than last year than we are worse. I knew we were going to most likely lose the game after watching us struggle to run the ball against freaking New Mexico.

7-5 is the upside. 6-6 more probable.

Maybe a weekday, daytime bowl game sponsored by someone you've never heard of.

Arky with a healthy Jefferson will have a good chance of keeping it close against UGA, especially with UGA's offense playing the way it is. Get Jefferson injured like he was yesterday and Arky may well get boat raced by UGA. That's the reason you can't always compare results against common opponents. Same thing with us playing with King vs Calzada. We're a different team. People see Bama and think that every team should have a Tua waiting in the wings for reps. We'll be lucky enough to be in that position next year with King and Weigman, but we're not there yet.

All I do is Nguyen said:

We know who we are now as a team.

We know the ceiling is probably 9-3 or 10-2 losing to Bama and Ole Miss going forward.

We know Calzada can't throw into coverage, hence why Arky rushed only 3 all the time.

We know it ALWAYS takes our defense a quarter and a half to settle down and not let the opponent get anything big.

Hey, it's okay though. I like where the team is heading. I love that Jimbo is our coach. Do we maybe need a new OC, eh, sure. Still love watching this team fight to the end.

You're right. The panickers here are freaking out but 9-3 is the new standard.

Scar, mizzou, and MSU are wins, even with Calzada. Just run the ball. Get King back, let our defense carry out mediocre offense to a 9-3 year. Beat Ole Miss? Awesome!

We know who we are PHYSICALLY, but we're about to see who we are mentally. What will we do now that our playoff hopes are dashed? Will Leon, Hansford, Leal, Spiller, Green, and Smith or some others refocus us to still play every game like a must in.

I hope you're right. I thought Lucci's comparison to McCoy was a good one, but just like McCoy, I think he needs to bulk up which will improve his durability and arm strength. He is a high risk reward guy so we are going to have some more wow plays, but also possibly more interceptions. I doubt he sacks himself and throws a ball off the center's head though.

I love the dude. He's actually one of my favorite Aggie QBs, (I only remember since 2012 though so the pickins are slim), but I loved Hubenak. This offense is, like, pretty much that bad

Yep, that offense was probably about as bad as this one.

King still had a lot of improving to do. He needed good reps against Colorado and New Mexico. I don't know that throwing him into the meat of an SEC schedule coming off an injury with 39 career passing attempts is going to do much besides get him lit up.

It should improve our odds, but I don't expect a massive improvement in our offensive performance.
