I think Sims was just trying to make a play and forced a bad ball. Youve gotta relax on your critique of Sims man... It was a complete team loss yesterday. There are many more question marks on defense for us this year than offense. Our defense yesterday looked straight up lost at times... to me, that is a much bigger issue.

Scoring ten points is a big issue. That is on Sims, the o-line outside of Cam Rob, the WRs, the TEs, etc.
I think it's time for a shakeup and put some youth out there instead of seniority. Let's have an open competition at some spots. If Shank and Leon are equal, why not start Shank because he will be back next year? What about Hill?
For WRs, we know what Jones can do, and it isn't enough. If Ar'Darius Stewart can match his production, why not put him out there instead? Those reps that he takes now will be valuable later.
For kickoff and punt returns, I don't think Stewart/Black/Hump could do any worse than Jones. Why not give them a shot?
And if Sims was injured let him heal. If he wasn't, and this is how we can expect him to play when facing legit compeition, this will be a long year. Like you said, our defense isn't very good. We can't win with Greg McElroy under center anymore.

Saban should scrap the combo-man because it got us killed

I will admit that he forced it.
However, the ball he threw was not a bad one,it was leading his receiver. Had that been Amari Cooper and not OJ, people would be talking shite to Ole Miss and laughing at Oklahoma instead of giving up on their team mid-season after one loss.
What is being ignored about that last play is OJ giving his best effort on that play. Had he done it at worst it would have been a incompletion at best a TD.
What compounded things was the fact a play earlier the same guy for no reason but lack of earlier effort held a player to put us in a crappy situation.
Those mistakes killed us.

It's the reason I reacted so viciously.
It's pathetic seeing chatta STILL attempting to find a way to make the game all on Sims.
It is when things are going well that you see a true man's colors. All I can say is there are a lot of posters on this site which showed how much they believe in this program. Also some which showed what they've hid for a couple weeks about Sims.

Save the veiled accusations. TIA.
This team top to bottom isn't very good, and we are losing a lot of players on offense after this year. So basically we will have one mediocre season and be ill-prepared for the next. I don't see us beating Auburn, and unless Dak comes down with Ebola we're probably not beating Miss St. Those losses send us to the Capital One Bowl. If that is the case, I'd rather just build for the future.

How about you save the bullshite and Sims agenda attacks?
When you say we should start from scratc, and open up QB competition with Coker and Bateman just because we lost a close game to a great team away from home you've completely lost the plot.
It is quite obvious Ole Miss has made you lose your mind. You literally couldn't wait to blame this entire loss on Sims and have been doing it in a veiled manner since we lost.
Such bullshite. Why do we have such horrible fans? Such spoiled fair-weather fans who love to talk big but can't take a loss?
We have only had one undefeated season during this run. Yet every season we lose one they act like little punks, whiny, crying and giving up on a team they demand not give up.

.. our first game on the road to a very good team. We now aren't very good from top to bottom.
Do us all a favor and go support Auburn. That or stick to posting about 5-star recruits you will say aren't that good in a couple months the minute they lose.
God forbid we lose a game. You weak-minded bunch just can't take it.

Oh really?

It's a problem to only score 10 points. That is on the offense.
It is also a problem to allow 23 points. That is on the defense. Neither side is excused from the clusterfrick that was yesterday's game.

All of my comments about Coker playing are predicated on Sims possibly being injured. Since Sims didn't throw during a majority of the media viewing periods, I think it's safe to assume that there might have been an injury. Unless our staff is holding out our qb from passing for the fun of it.

You aren't fooling anybody. How many posters have told you to fall back?
I'm done with you. I have no time for spineless fair-weather fans who give up on their team mid-season due to one loss.
Oh no! Our season is over now we're #7! It isn't like we have one of the best coaches of all time, with a loaded roster and a huge chip on our shoulders.
It's isn't like we have many games to make this up and we surely have NEVER done this before. Especially not against SEC Champs LSU in 2011.
Since you feel we're going to the capital one bowl and this season is definitely over chatta... you should stop watching the games. At least we won't have to read you complaining anymore about every Sims action/inaction.

You clearly don't want to read what I am saying and refute those points. You'd rather continue with your strawman argument.
Do you think an injured player should continue to play even if it potentially aggravates the injury more? You won't answer that with a real response.
I've asked you to name some things that this team showed yesterday that make you believe we are a title team. You respond with the typical recruiting rankings and we have good coaches mantra.
Continue on with your holier-than-thou, I am a better fan because I sunshine pumping diatribe.

every low throw takes the QB out of a rhythem. and he was busy making checks when Sims was calling for the ball as the play clock was fixing to expire. Some Aholes on this site were calling for a back up center and you got your wish. He did not cost us the game but if 70 plays at a C level our back up played at an F level.
Posted on 10/5/14 at 12:36 pm to mrbroker
Yeah our backup center's timing was pretty abysmal. He's probably never practiced snapping with Sims (Why would he? This isn't something you foresee until it happens.)
Reminded me a lot of Chad Lindsay in the Iron Bowl.

Sims didn't play injured. Please stop. We didn't go deep because they had 2 very talented safeties playing deep the whole game. They took that part of out game away from us, and we didn't have an answer.
This team is still talented enough to win out and be in the mix for the playoffs. It is also susceptible to dropping a couple more. Ole Miss played about as well as they could and we played about as poorly as we could, and we still had the ball near their 20 with a chance to win.

Unfortunately. I think each week we will try to make it look sloppier than the last.
I'll just wait here and see if people keep accusing me of shite because I want someone else at qb.

Sims is still our guy. He's had one bad game, and you're ready to go with the backup who he's already clearly outclassed. How is Sims the first attack when our OC has gone AWOL since the Ole Miss game started? Up until the Ole Miss game, I loved his playcalling, but since then it's been some of the worst play-calling I've seen at Alabama. He refuses to run behind the strongest part of our O-Line.
