We all knew this was coming after the A&M game. Why weren’t more aggressive in the portal to get a top flight QB is beyond me.

Tommy Rees ain't the problem but wanting to go backwards instead of forwards is... that's on Nick Saban wanting to turn into Les Miles.

Milroe is obviously not on that planet so he needs good protection to even be halfway productive at passing. BUT he can do it with good protection.
You don’t know this.

Bro...they are going to stay in the backfield because he can't read.

We don't know if we have a better option because Saban handed the job to Milroe while insisting that this was still a QB competition through the first few games?

Saban's been saying this all along. Time for him to follow through on this. We've seen more than enough of Milroe

But idk what y’all want him to sit back there and read. There is NO time.


No offensive line can hold a rush for 5-10 seconds every down. Milroe has to find a receiver, get rid of the ball or fvkn take off.

Not even blitzing us. Because they were getting pressure with 3. Was pretty sad

Tonight, Milroe’s best passes have been bad.

A "game manager" QB and thus is a 17-7 Bama lead right now. Dominant running with play action.... should be 3 INTs right now though

Oh lord have mercy. Be patient Ya'll. We might see different version of Milroe in 2nd half.

They tried and got turned down by multiple guys. Buchner was the best we could get

The OL was getting beat with a 3 man rush. Their DL did not need 5 seconds.

Again...we got a quarterback but for whatever reason they won't give Ty Simpson an actual chance in game.

Hopefully we can gain momentum back starting with the ball

I don’t.

But we aren’t going to play Lonergan. And I have a feeling Simpson is FAR from ready.

I’d be fine with letting the ND guy give it a go.

I’d probably like to see a drive or 2 of designed runs and shite with Milroe first, though. The OL is not pass blocking at all.

Rees is the problem tonight. he's not calling the correct plays to get everyone in best position. he was trying to play it safe.

Remember when Saban said the competition at qb and any position is not over after one game? That you have to earn your spot every week? I remember.

Even the long completion to Prentice was thrown late… not throwing on time at all or throwing guys open

The INT was on a play with zero pressure. He had predetermined where he was going to the ball and threw it right to an opposing player.
