How spoiled are we..

The sky is falling from alot of Bama fans because of 12-2 season and SEC champs..

Where are these fans that you speak of?? A lot of that is perpetuated by non-Bama fans on tRant due to jealously and them wanting the sky to be falling on Saban and Bama.

Maybe a few but I'm not seeing it. And those would be shitty fans that weren't around or never made a peep during the dark times.

I think most of us are voicing some unease about PLAGUING issues.

At the beginning of the year, thought we'd lose 2, maybe 3, games during the regular season. If you'd told me we'd go 12-2 and win the SEC, I'd have taken it. Think we overachieved, as Sims surpassed all my expectations in what he achieved this year at QB...

That being said, while I don't see us in decline, I do think we have defensive issues to address if we're gonna challenge for the CFP the next few years. While we have talent through the roof on D, we're gonna have to do something different to adapt to the spread as we're still very vulnerable to it. Maybe not wholesale changes, but at least some pretty significant tweaks...

Yeah, if a decline consists of beating your rivals, winning the SEC, and making it to the CFB Playoff, then sign me up.

Having said that, I do think the next few seasons are going to be interesting. We're going to face some big challenges.

I hear ya. Some "fans" are just annoying and/or insane. I had a so-called Bama fan at work tell me a few years back that they were so glad we hired Mike Saban

IMO we lost to OSU because of the Secondary...

sure blame them, i don't recollect them giving the other team the ball 3 fricking times. in fact i recollect our secondary picking one off and causing and recovering their other turnover.

More like twice...the 3rd turnover was on a Hail Mary on the last play of the game...

I agree it was a team loss, as 3rd down killed us on both sides of the ball. But I do think the defense was a bit more off their game than the offense was, at least numbers-wise...

This is just my opinion..

How many 3rd and longs did we give up to the middle of the field for 15-20 + yards...

My point is if we stop them from driving the offense get's more chances to score..

It is NC or bust...

It is though. Once we saw what the team was capable of it was pretty much NC or bust. And I'm sure that is exactly how the players felt too.

As a fan, I expected a NC after a certain point during the season. It was my opinion that the team was absolutely the best team...even with their weaknesses this year(Not sure of this now though seeing as Oregon might be crazy good). But football is a crazy sport. There is/was TONS of room for my non professional opinion to be wrong AND anything can happen in a game of football.

I couldn't have had more fun this year watching the guys do their thing. Went to the Sugar Bowl and had the time of my life. Not even remotely close to upset and am proud of everybody on the team. I can still have the opinion that Alabama probably maybe should have won without being a greedy delusional prick.

As for the spoiled stuff, I don't really see it. The mass of Alabama fans walking out of the stadium after the game were almost 100% in GREAT spirits. Most laughing and cutting up with each other talking about how fun the season was. A drunk girl tried to start a "lets go Oregon chant" and got shut down by everybody within shouting distance of her. I haven't seen much butthurt at all.

Nice post
