Yes, some fans use those same 3 excuses while at the same time make fun of other fanbases that use those same excuses.
Vandy did have last week off so we know for sure they have been practicing for 2 weeks. I do think that helped them a great deal.

All contributing factors, but the fact is, our defense was exposed in the second half last week and now every team in the conference knows how to boat race our secondary. Today will not be the last day we see this.
It was so bad, I was actually laughing there at the end every time Vandy picked up another first down. And this was not normal laughter, it’s the kind of laugh you hear just before someone tries to kill Batman. I didn’t even notice when my wife crept out of the living room.
They did not call the game just fine. They robbed us of a 1st down on the Williams catch at a crucial time. They picked up the targeting flag after Kobe Prentice got knocked out on the field. They gave Vandy a phantom 1st down that led to a TD, and it likely should have been a field goal. They let Vandy hold our DL all game. One of their guys literally horse collared our DL when he was trying to make a sack. Don’t try to gaslight me with that crap. They were horrible today.
Tin Horn! COULD. NOT. STOP ‘EM!
Absolutely zero defensive adjustment!
Sad, sad day indeed.

Some how this NIL stuff needs to be performance based with incentives for team goals met. And payed at the end of the season when ever that is.
The secondary wasn’t really the problem today. Our front 7 was USELESS.
Maybe Vandy wins out and we get a rematch in the SEC championship.
yeah, we are. Losing to Vandy?!?! It's been 40 YEARS since that happened. Any team losing to VANDY does not deserve to be in the playoffs, and not a single player should be mentioned for any individual awards. It's VANDY. You simply DO NOT lose to VANDY.
Agreed - Alabama gets in with one loss because it likely means that Alabama is the SEC champion. Do we think that is likely?
I just can't understand how our defense got pushed all over the field. Their backs and receivers consistently gained yardage after contact. Our defense needs help.
Come on man. We still have the best talent in the country. Just got to pull it together and get some confidence. We lost focus and got embarrassed. It happens but you got to get up and move forward, preferably positively.
You never know. They just gotta beat Tennessee, TAMU and auburn and it's doable.
With a stop or two we score 14 more points. They score less and the game is not close
There is a huge difference in losing one game and “the season is over”, especially in the 12 team playoff era. I doubt many saw us running the table after we lost to Ole Miss in 2015, or last year. If we don’t come out on fire against USCe, then it’s time to panic.
I mean if we go by that logic then Bama should have never lost any playoff game or LSU game because CNS was the GOAT. I think this originated from 2010 when 5-6 teams had a bye before us. But there are so many teams that we have destroyed off their bye week but no one uses that excuse when we win.
Cause it's going to be the single worst loss of any team in consideration. lose to Vandy and you don't deserve to go. period.
BTW, the Vandy we played today is not the Vandy of old. They went out and bought a bunch of thugs and a few talented players. If you have any doubt, look at their thuggish behavior, watch the post-game interview with their QB. Definitely not "Vandy." They will win more games.
I'm not making excuses. We are much more talented and should have beat them soundly. But welcome to the new college football. NIL and the transfer portal have changed the game significantly - and not in a good way, I might add. Welcome to the new NFL minor leagues.

I blame it on Saban for saying Vandy was the easiest place to play!
