A win is a win is a win... Ill take em.  But is anyone else getting the
impression that that mentality may be setting us back?

As I drove back from Orlando yesterday... I thought about what that mindset
really means and why Meyer would be pushing that... and perhaps I have
thought too far into this but this is what I came up with...

- We're #1... and so long as we win we're in.  But will that remain true if
Bama or whoever shows to be more impressive as the season continues?
- Do only what we have to to win.. stay healthy/injury free... and for the
most part .. fresh
- these problems are not just due to Tebows concussion.. that cannot be an
excuse.. he's been on his game.  But the entire game cannot rest on his
shoulders.
- "just win" because the entire year is going to be a struggle because they
are not as good of a team as we thought.  That atleast seems to be true...
- "just win" because Addazzio is still getting his feet wet as a OC and is
going through a learning curve, hence why we are not very productive.  Maybe
he's playin it too safe and doesnt wanna screw up?  He's obviously a power
run OC... he's said it before... so does that mean we're not gonna see much
of a passing attack that UF fans have become so accustomed too?  If thats
the case.. if he's also the OL guy... why hasnt Demps/Rainey/Moody/James,
etc etc had a more productive year against our better opponents?  I get what
we were tryin to do against LSU... dive play dive play dive play run it
right at em and control the clock.  We saw a lil more passing in the first
half vs Arky... but then we had a hard time holding on to the ball.  Had it
not been for the turnovers... I think that game would have easily been
30-10.  Gotta give Arky credit though... they are much improved over the
year.

look..I know meyer isnt happy that we arent happy with just accepting a
win... i dont think thats what we are up in arms about... Im not so sure
thats the case at all... i think everyone of us would accept a win... but I
do think this mentality of "just go in and get out with a win" may be the
wrong mindset.  I think it also shows that Meyer doesnt have that much
confidence in this team or someone that is keeping them from being a
dominant figure.

Again.. maybe im thinking too far into it all... but right now.. Miss St
game is scaring the hell outta me.
