Yeah, that about sums it up. It especially resonates with me where he talks about the eye test... win or lose, did the Gators play a good game today? Those where I would say yes have been pretty rare since Tebow left. That's been my problem this whole time. People say we should just be happy with a win, but I just can't get excited about a bumbling offense that has a few big plays now and then, gets bailed out by a couple of defensive TDs, and lucks its way into a win.
Yesterday, if we hadn't missed the extra point, and had somehow pulled it out in OT, I still wouldn't have been happy about the game, even though I would have been happy about the outcome. What I really want is for my team to look competent. Sometimes they'll win and sometimes they'll lose, but when we lose, I want us to lose because two good teams played and the other team was better, not because two mediocre teams played and the other team was a tad less pathetic (and vice versa when we win). I really am acutely aware of the impact of all the lost players, and I do try to keep in mind that most teams would struggle in that situation, but we struggle on offense every year and it's hard to accept that the lost players are the only issue.
