I think these last couple games have told us WAY more about your QB than ours. JFF has been fricking awful.


Broken thumb. Still vastly superior to AJ in every way.

Great stat, but I think they are starting to realize that AJ is incredibly average. The reality of the offensive line and running back talent taking a step back, and then having to lean on him, makes them realize they are no where near as good as they thought.
Alot of people were more realistic about this season being that we lost the best 3 linemen we had last year. I also wasn't sure about the d-line situation but i have been happy with this season though. Going back to the o-line, zone blocking doesn't work as well for our backs. It made us more finesse and we are traditionally a power running team

Um, I don't know, maybe because we have won two NCs in a row going into this year? Call me crazy but I think that might have something to do with it.

You mean your second favorite team?

Yeah. I'm torn. I wanted bama to win but there are no better tears or meltdowns like Bama's. I like and respect the bama team,but 95% of the fan base can eat shite.

2 losses or more would be a down year at this point, IMO, 0-1 losses is pretty damn good in the SEC. Undefeated SEC teams don't come around often.

I remember most of y'all saying the offensive line under Saban never falls off and would definitely still be the best in the country, but if at least some of y'all are realistic I guess that's a start. AJ does really poorly with pressure in front of him. He does a pretty decent job of stepping up in the pocket to avoid the edge rush, and when he can step in to a ball he does really well, but any sort of pressure in his face to cause him to throw off his back foot he's really bad. Losing Barrett Jones has been a problem all season for AJ, and they really move to more play action and less pistol sets this year when AJ was struggling early with it so AJ could roll out more. I say AJ's average, but he's below average with pressure in his face.

As far as your run blocking goes I haven't watched it enough this year, but I would assume the power running thing is also a problem due to the interior offensive line.

Subjective titles that don't go in any NCAA record books. BCSCG is basically and exhibition game.
You have the same record. You just can't back into one this year.

But y'all were lucky to be in that situation to begin with I think is the point he's making by bringing up the November losses in each of those seasons.

When did I say lsu was having a great season. What's laughable is , if lsu sucks, Bama has zero decent wins. The highlight of Bama's season was beating lsu.

You should check their board. They are displacing their hurt on LSU fans trying to make them hurt.

The circle of hurt is palpable
