re: Alabama: 5 yards per play/Ole Miss 6.7 yards per play

Yea man they dominated our asses to the tune of a 6 point win. Total domination. I hate doing this. This isn't even a good troll and I bite hard. frick you.

Are your glasses totally fogged?

140 yards on 2 plays, one was fluke, one was illegal. Remove and recalculate

Illegal had nothing to do with it.

Here's the picture. The Alabama Safety and DB bit on how great Kelly was selling the run. At the time they both bit (as clearly evidenced in the picture), no lineman was beyond 3 yards downfield. This is just some shite Saban made up to take the heat off of himself and his fans are buying it all up. The fact is, the DBs broke down and OM made a big play that they deserved.

There's nothing illegal about this. It's just getting beat once more by a better football team:

I'm not 100% convinced you are better than us, but you won so my argument is shite.

You are playing an idiot here.

Lord Saban said the reason they gave up the TD is because he teaches his DBs to read linemen and to draw up when they are upfield.

It's clear that this was a lie. Both DBs broke in to stop Kelly on the run fake as seen in the picture, and not because they were reading some lineman like Saban was complaining about.

This proves that it had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the play.

And you buying in to what Saban is saying, just does what he wanted it to do and takes the heat off of him losing yet another big game.

Take a look at your fanbase, everyone's already relaxed again because you bought the whole narrative of "Oh, 5 turnovers and we only lost by 6" or "Oh, illegal TD and we only lost by 6 so we should've won."

You should really be pissed at your Stalinesque propagandizing coach who feeds you lies to keep you from realizing that you were totally dominated in a game.

Everything you just posted is excellent troll material but you didn't answer my question. What do the CB's position on the field have to do with the linemen being beyond 3 yards of the los when the quarterback lets go of the ball.

The CB was running with the wideout until he noticed he was the only one that could keep Kelly from getting the first down on the play. So he drew up which the picture shows. If you just look at the picture, it may appear that the CB was positioned like that at the beginning of the play but that wasn't the case, he was running with the WR and only stopped to turn around and attempt to make a play on the QB. The picture captures the change in momentum of the CB.

At that time, no lineman was even beyond 2 yards past the line of scrimmage and they are all engaged in their original blocks.

Even the Safety is biting and going for the run and there is not a single lineman beyond 2 yards from scrimmage.

So what does it have to do with a lineman being downfield?

Obviously, nothing. Because no defender's action was contingent upon what arbitrary yardage a lineman happened to be downfield. So the rule is moot on this play which make the whole "illegal play" thing laughable.

Isn't the whole argument from the Alabama side "Well, our DBs only let the receiver go because a lineman was illegally downfield and if he wasn't illegally downfield our DBs would've played pass and the TD would've never happened"?

Since that's the argument, it's clear that it's simply false and Saban has just conjured it up as a selling point to shift the blame from himself.

As it stands, the lineman could've stopped right there being 2 yards beyond scrimmage and the result of the play would've been exactly the same. He happened to keep running and was around 4-5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage when Kelly released the ball, but that had no bearing on the outcome of the play. It would've simply been a lucky break for Alabama since a lineman not involved in the play kept running and drew a flag that negated the TD.

Oh yeah, if it wasn't a revenge game, which saban excels in, piss would have won by even more.

You best worry about Auburn. There is plenty to worry about there.
