If you believe we will lose 3 games with Saban as our head coach and over six #1 recruiting classes, then you have lil brain syndrome lol
Also what does the left tackle beating a weapons charge in early July has to do with how he performs in the season ??

but dude it's july and you don't have a fricking clue who your QB is, you got 2 unknowns at RB, your left tackle just beat a gun / drugs rap, you are replacing the first round center, you're replacing a manchild in a'shawn robinson and marlon Humphrey really isn't all that fricking great.




All of the QB competitors were higher ranked recruits than Austin Allen. As for the rest of it, Lester Cotton (he will effectively replace Kelly with Pierschbacher sliding over to C), Bo Scarbrough, and Marlon Humphrey will be just fine. I understand hoping against hope that all of these elite blue chips fail if you're a fan of another West team.

He is just an idiot who is tired of seeing us win, he is not the only one though. I just totally stopped taking him serious when he said we would lose to USC and that Marlon Humphrey was bad. It just showed me how little he actually knew about Bama and football as a whole.

Well, Arkansas's QB will perform better than Alabama's this year. That much is a GIVEN by the fact that Austin Allen (despite only being a 4* recruit) has been in this system for three years now.

Sure, being a 5* recruit matters, but being a freshman matters even more. If you deny this, you don't understand football very well.

Does this mean that Arkansas is going to beat Alabama this year? Not at all. I only bring it up to point out that you are facing a talent laden team in week one with a freshman under center, a new defensive coordinator, and a new defensive line coach.

If you think Alabama is -- FOR CERTAIN, WITHOUT DOUBT -- going to beat USC in week one, you are crazy.

Also, Alabama is going to lose to Arkansas. But it won't be because of the QB.

Who said we was gonna start a freshman, more than likely cooper bateman starts and he is a redshirt junior. He has just as much if not more time in the system as Austin Allen. I do firmly believe we will beat USC and Arkansas, but I also believe its gonna be harder to beat Arkansas than it was the two previous years though.

It cannot possibly be any harder to beat Arkansas than it was two years ago. If it's any harder, you lose.
Hell, you should have lost two years ago. An unforced fumble on the goal line was all the difference in the world.

Remember that game? I sure as hell do. It was miserable. Cold, wet, and a one point loss.

If Bama gets solid leadership watch out. Talent wins 9 but replacing Ashawn, Reggie and Ryans leadership is the key to the other 3.

The 1 point game was def a nail biter, but Beliema is a hell of a coach and he makes Arkansas better every year. I just believe we are gonna win because this team has something to prove. The leadership is still there from last year but I think the talent level is even better than before, especially in the secondary.

You can never predict team chemistry and injuries. Last year Ohio St was the most talented team but they didn't have the personality to repeat. The personality of this team will determine how many games it wins. The 2010 team along with the aforementioned Oh St are examples of talent coupled with complacency.

Let's not act like it's impossible. Just look at Alabama's 2010 roster and they lost 3 games.

FYI, I don't expect it to happen.

Sumlin, Manziel have made careers, got raises, got drafted and won a Heisman because of "that time we beat Bama."

People live off of it for years.

Marlon would instantly make the Razorback's shitty defense better. Maybe you wouldn't have seen Ridley burn your weak arse secondary last year if he was.

Don't talk about shite you don't know. Alabama's won 4 of the last 7 national titles for a reason.

Always a possibility with the schedule we play.
Possible losses:

USC
LSU
Ole Miss
Tennessee


Also possible for a team like Arkansas or Auburn to pull the upset.

Plus the bowl game. If we lose a couple of games or so history shows us that the staff and team think the season was a failure and proceed in getting their arse kicked by a lesser team that is thrilled to be there.

So yeah, it's possible.

I cant think of any better comparison of teams than the 2010 Bama Team to the 2015 Ohio State Team. They are basically one in the same.

That Alabama team dealt with injuries and played six SEC teams after their bye weeks and still won atleast 10 games. Those type of conditions are not applicable to this season atleast the bye week aspect of it.

Let me just be "that guy" for a minute. There are some talented teams in the SEC this year. There are also some very well coached teams in the SEC this year. Folks, Bama takes the cake in both departments. It ain't even close. We have the most talent and we have the best staff in America including the greatest head coach of all time. That's simply the short answer why we won't lose three games. It could and has happened but we will likely hoist another trophy this year. We're good and we know we're good. You all hate us for that I can dig it but it's the truth.
