    If he did at least we would have a #15 qb who could complete a pass further than his jersey number.

    Agreed...not adaptable enough to adjust to what the other team is doing.

    If this game continues like it has, it’s going to be an interesting week for sure. Get the popcorn.

    Every day's a bad day to stop drinking. Drinking's good.

    Just don't get shitty.

    That is the most damning thing about Billy Napier. How do you have offensive halves like this 1st half and not think you need an OC. Mind-blowing...

    What building has gone on? this is game 26.

    Also, if we have a truly awful year then Lagway will be out of here anyway, no matter what happens to Napier.

    Sadly true. He’s been a gamer (last year) but he’s not been good. Of course we can’t run save one play and the right side of our line is… suboptimal.

    After the last decade of gator football, it seems you were secretly planning to jump off the wagon. Tuck and roll, I haven't had a drink in weeks but stocked up in anticipation of my needs for this game.

    Good question, but do you keep a coach with the largest, most expensive support staff in the country, who has 3 losing seasons in a row? THE University of Florida is better than this and if it's obvious that Billy Napier isn;t the answer, you have to go get someone else. Who, I have no idea, but the status quo don't cut it.

    last year and a lot of games we had a very productive first half offensively and then Billy got conservative and stupid in the second half… Let’s hope it’s a reversal this year especially right now

    Remember back when we were making fun of FSU because they lost and didn’t look good and we were undefeated and filled with optimism? Those were the good old days.

    I'm most disappointed in the offense. Mertz just can't throw down the field. Yes Miami is getting pressure but even when he has time he can't hit a pass down field. He is who he is. Nobody fears the deep ball.

    Really don't know what to think about the D. Tackling is better. No pressure at all. Stupid penalties continue even though those were not called roughing against Mertz all last year. Blown coverages happen... Again. Are we better back there? Dunno.

    We just have no identity. To me that's the fatal flaw.

    Shocking at half after all we heard from camp.

    Defense is worse than last year at this point.
    Praying for a miracle.
