Is Bama back or TAMU that bad?

While watching the game Saturday I was wondering if Alabama has returned to form or if TAMU is just that bad and played with zero effort.

Probably somewhere in the middle of both... as Cecil Hurt made that point. It's sticking with me. We prob aren't exactly 59-0 epic arse kicking people for the rest of the season, and A&M is likely not quite as bad as they played.
But we sure answered a few questions in terms of the team's actual resolve.

Got to be a bit of both. A&M has too much talent to be that bad. The only explanation I have for Alabama going from 1 point win at Arkansas to a 59-0 massacre in Tuscaloosa is the home/away.

It looked to me that A&M played with zero effort.
So Bama played well, but they were not really challenged at all the whole game. They didn't have to do anything exceptional to be successful.

Bama never left, TAMU is playing horribly but they aren't THAT bad.
It is like a boxer connecting with another boxer on the chin when he is leaning the wrong way in the first round and he goes straight down. I am not saying that it was a lucky punch, but the combination of the force of the punch and the boxer leaning off balance combined to create the knock down. The two boxers might be more even, in reality, but the circumstance led to the first round knock down.

'Bama is better than TAMU this year, and TAMU is not an especially good football team. No doubt about it. But TAMU is not 59-0 bad.

That is a really good analogy....Aggie isnt that bad....they just got mauled early and folded. They have talent but the team couldn't or wouldnt respond to Bama and that is on the coaches.

True Bama has been solid all year, but not the dominating team they have been in the recent past, obviously talent is there. So some of both because TAM is starting to mail it in.
The difference between Bama in the last 2 games cannot be explained away by the home field, but it does indicate the foolishness of comparing scores against the same opponent.
Fans often forget that two teams are playing by just concentrating on their team and saying we looked great or sucked.

Somewhere in the middle. Texas A&M had a bad day, and UA had an exceptional day. As stated, the A&M players just gave up after a while. (I know that feel, bro. Auburn did that in 2012 resulting in embarassing losses.).

I was at the game and it was a combination of both. Some teams just have their days both good and bad. I am not going to say that Bama is the best team in the country, but no team would have beaten us Saturday, just like no team would have beaten Auburn the night they played LSU. Most likely no team would have beaten A & M the night they played South Carolina. Many of these teams have the talent to play at an unbeatable level on given days, etc.

Exactly, AU 2012 got beat 49-0. That team had quit on Chiz. AU 2013 was another story and won the IB and went to the BCSCG and nearly won with most of the same players, albeit different coach and philosophy.

Bama is a bi polar between home and away.
Bama has all the tools for the exception of maybe a QB that doesn't feel too confident in away games.
Hopefully we can pull out a W against LSU. We do that then we win out.
