I think Bama is a beat up football team, that’s not an excuse it’s a fact, but so are other teams as well. The problem with that is the quality of back up players is not what it use to be, the same as other top tier teams are dealing with also due to the portal.

No question the preparation was as bad as it gets Saturday and so was the coaching during the game. But this team has potential to win out, but they have to find that mean and nasty mentality that’s been missing.

Unfortunately, after the Tenn beat down 7-5 is more likely. As bad as Bama's offense was I am wondering if Grubb watched porn all week instead of preparing for the game.

Yep...we lose 2 more during the season, don't make the seccg or playoffs and lose the bowl game.

The coaching staff has regressed this football team not made it better. Is there any phase we're better at since year one? Nope

Have no idea what the rest of the season holds.
* We have piling injuries.
* Grubb never makes it easier on his QBs, even when their confidence is shaken.
* Our QB is fading.
* As teams adjust to us, our coaches seem very lacking in the ability to adjust their game plan and run the same things over and over thinking its all in the execution.
* Deboer lacks leadership or sees any problem in what his assistants are doing. Further I hear nothing in his public demeanor showing he recognizes any problems. Its just the same ol' stuff he has said every year.

We could lose to every remaining SEC opponent but I think we’ll go 8-4 in some configuration I could never predict because of how DeBoer Program works.

I could easily see us dropping LSU......we get auburn at home so I think we pull that one out.

We will beat Chattanooga, pull away late from Vanderbilt.

A&M is a toss up.

LSU and AU at this point are losses.

DeBoer is absolutely terrified in Knoxville. Baton Rouge is going to eat him alive. He’s not man enough for the SEC.

Idk, maybe he’ll surprise us. He’s won there before, in 2024. Granted, it wasn’t with an invigorated crowd of hyped LK fans, but it was a nice feeling and I was not expecting it that year.

Sigh, unfortunately, this is completely possible. I think this staff and team may shite the bed again in one game and then we might just get beat in another, regardless of how we play.

Fortunately, it appears everyone else in this league is capable of falling the same way. fricking pro ball

I hope he does. But last Saturday showed us just how much this staff has regressed. The environment at Knoxville was too big for him, the environment at Baton Rouge this year will way worse.

I said this from the get go. We can beat anyone on our schedule, with this staff we can also lose to anyone on our schedule

At one point, historically, we didn’t have any trouble beating Vandy either….

I hate to say it because I despise LSU, and would love nothing more than to beat them and troll their fans on the rant. But I think we lose to LSU. We should beat Auburn and A&M because they’re home games. We’ll handle Vandy, and Chattanooga is a win.

So once again 9-3 and a bubble team?

This seems to be where we settle in every year now.

I have news for you before this past Saturday all those sec games were toss ups anyway. Teams with higher paid rosters and more “elite” head coaches hit 2 losses before Bama so all we can hope for is to see Bama be competitive in every game with a chance to win.
