It doesn’t ruin my enjoyment of the game. It ruins the ability to discuss things rationally postgame. If you prefer the irrational nature of this board, it speaks volumes about YOU. You must be fun at parties.

All those who would have complained about a 10-2 season and conference championship at the beginning of the season, please raise your hands.

Nobody is talking about the season as a whole! We are talking about THIS game. And it's a weak response anyway. It's like if we were 6-6 and telling people how we would've killed to be 6-6 when we were winning 3 games a year. Silly. We _____ the bed in nearly every category. We sucked last night. Period. Its OK to talk realistically.

We should be able to pull 17K for a championship game.

Interestingly enough, we still have the attendance record for the Championship and it’s not even close.

Actually, I had the sense (and could be wrong) that at least some commentators were of the opinion that, because of this loss, the season as a whole was ruined. It is to those people that my comment was made.

Certainly, the game was a disappointment, espeially since, with several teams rated in the bottom part of the Top 25 losing, we had a real chance to be ranked.

I am not speaking to that disappointment, but to those who are jumping off the cliff. Within that context, I do not believe it was/is a weak response.

“Stop ruining everything for everyone” Your words. Not mine. There have been plenty of rational postgame discussions on this board. If you want to engage in a discussion like that, an emotional first post attacking people isn’t the way to achieve it.

“SOME OF YOU” was how the statement started. I am assuming since you are defending the insufferable you realize you are part of that equation. Self reflect and be better if so…

Your knock on fans discussing games is uncommon.

Fans and media discussing game decisions is older than the freon induced water cooler.

Chill

This dude is dead set on destroying your message board, can't you see this? He complains about censorship, but that's exactly what he wants. Sounds like today's liberals.

Lots of fun talk about going for field goals being the problem, and sometimes it can be.

But in this game, those field goals would have been more than enough if not for the field goal that wasn't attempted.

For those that love the game, they love the game discussion no matter how frustrating the actual game makes them feel.

If you want rational discussion about the game, engage in that discussion. Stop being so emotional because some people aren’t pleased with what they saw last night. Be the change you want to see. I’ve yet to see any thoughts from you about the game last night even though you are the one advocating for rational discussion of the game. Be better indeed.

For all the talk about "a bad half".....So no one else thought us lollygaggin' and wasting clock so damn much in the 2nd half wasn't a problem? Zero sense of urgency until it was too late. Even though we got to position, only to have bone headed play calls to end it. From lining up in illegal formation on the most important play, to running the same play back to back. Did we have some better success in the 2nd half? Yes. But to say we only played/coached one bad half isn't true.
