I'll take some of the best responses and make a poll.

A few things that bewilder me the most are:

How do you come off a whiping by Bama, play a team that beat you 56-3 last year and get owned again?

Why is Bret so emotionless after even huge moments in the game or lapses/successes by our team?  Is he saving the emotion for the postgame press concurrence?

Why are our fans so awesome? This was a sellout right?  Good job to the fans that went to this.  Even if I was in the area, I wouldn't have gone to this if they paid me.

That we played toe to toe with A&M on the road, all the way into overtime. This is the same team minus Allen.

We played TAMU TOUGH and looked like a cow paddy against Bama and Tigger2.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Not good enough to stop it

No answers to fix it

Because football games are events.

I'm bewildered because I really feel like we have some talent on this team.

YES.  Also, how did that come to be? His idea, Jeff Longs? Jen?

Also, who did it?  Was Bret up all night trying to stitch those things on?

You expected us to be this bad? No you didn't. I said 6 wins was a realistic goal because if many factors. We won't even win 4. Nobody expected this in year 5.

Along with our o-line our defense is the worst I have ever seen.

It was very predictable. Lost  all those WR's. A go to TE and only one proven offensive lineman. Defense lost so much depth on the line that we had to change schemes. OUR FRONT LINEMEN HAVE TO PLAY THE WHO GAME AS WE DON'T HAVE SEC QUALITY SUBS. WE ARE SLOW AND SMALL. CAN'T TACKLE TO BOOT.

Of those losses, We've lost to the #1 Team who's 8-0, the  #4 team 7-0, #21 Auburn record 6-2, A&M 5-2 and finally SC who's 5-2.Total record of teams we lost to..31-6. We have lost to every team we were supposed to, and beat every team we were supposed to. Not a big mystery..

I'm most bewildered that everyone couldn't  see Bielema lost the hearts and and minds of the players last season and this season was going to be futile.

How we went from a really good offensive line (the Tretola bunch) that was worthy of the media guide cover to this bunch, which lacks physicality and is still being shifted around to try to find the right combination more than halfway through the season.

No, when Skipper left we lost it..

Bewildered...how in the first three years there was steady improvement and we grew stronger. The opposite seems to have taken hold last year and we continue to devolve.

Just wait. It will come. Tomorrow, next week, and the next there will be people (some "experts") that support him and the job he's done. It's definitely not me.  There are probably posts on HV already in his support.

Ok, so you expected 3 wins, a winless conference record, and to not even be competitive in most of the losses. I should check your post history to verify this. Because if you expected what we are seeing in year 5, you're better than most.

They changed offensive philosophy with the hiring of Enos.  More finesse, athletic linemen were preferred...began abandoning the power running game.  Pittman didn't fit that philosophy.

The O line lost only Skipper who was slow and unathletic but got the most out of his ability and played like he cared.. and this line has gotten progressively worse with each game.

One tackle has an absurd number of penalties and busts and keeps starting while the All World true freshman (according to Bert at the start of the season) rides the pine after blowing a redshirt year...

We're about to lose another QB to injury if the line keeps letting them get battered like a pinata.

The running game varies from sporadic to nonexistent, the defense plays bend but don't break and still gives up several big plays a game.

But according to the Homers, "All is well", just wait until Bert gets all his own players... oh yeah, that's right, Eczema is in his 5th season... but, but, but, it takes SIX years to rebuild a program I guess...

I am so sick of the Homer Arkansas media making up their excuses before these butt whippings even start.

Last 9 games= 2-7 with two lackluster wins over Fla. A&M and NM State. 0-7 vs Power 5s.

It should be obvious to anyone with eyes that the players don't believe in this staff or at least most of it. Bert lost this team late last season and it would take a miracle for him to get it back.

0-18 when trailing at half, 10-26 in the SEC. Every game the opponent scores on their 1st possession of the 2nd half and Bert stands there with that stupefied look on his face like: "are they allowed to make halftime adjustments?"

"There's gotta be a rule against that, I'll get out my rulebook and badger the ref"..."I am on the rules committee and the media and Jeffy love me".

I just don't get why these people don't understand it takes (insert the number of seasons a coach has been in a place +1) years to build a program..
