At times, it looked like we'd never even seen a fricking football.

I try not to blame it on the players but holy shite WTF was going through their minds last night.

They looked like they could give two fricks about getting manhandled in the trenches. Whatever edge Bama had during the 2009-2014 era is gone. Teams aren't afraid of us anymore. We don't make his arse quit anymore.

Jalen, son I love you but for the love of all that is right get rid of the damn ball.

Receivers, you gotta come back to your baw when he's in trouble and help a brotha out.

It looks like Minkah suddenly forgot how to tackle and it's better to just try to knock the piss out of someone.

3rd down? What the frick ever y'all.........

WTF was Daboll doing? Was he watching the same game I was?

This is the worst I've seen a Saban coached team play since the LaMo loss.

What the frick happened boys?

I hate to blame it all on Jalen but dude has to look like he gives a frick.

The whole ice water in his veins bullshite ain't worth two fricks when you can't rally your boys when you need to make a play.

The defense had some problems but 26 points wasn't bad, considering Auburn is one of the better offenses in college football.

210 yards rushing ... before the game started I would have thought this would have been enough to win.

Our quarterback play has not progressed or developed this season.... finally caught up with us

Can't disagree with it. For the life of me, I just can't wrap my mind around how our coaches justify giving our best offensive player the ball only SIX TIMES.

I mean, we come out in the second half and run the ball down their throats with ease to take the lead. You'd think that we just use that formula for the rest of the game. But what do we do? Take out Harris for several series and try a bunch of shite that won't work. I felt like I was going crazy watching that.

Twice we beat them on the deep ball and both times they just drag us down and take the 15 .. wasn’t one of those the botched fg Drive?

That's a penalty that definitely needs to be revisited.

They definitely need to go back to it being a spot foul. What coach wouldn't trade 15yds to stop an almost sure TD?

Maybe Daboll coming from the Nfl, just doesn't quite get that we have to win EVERY game. There are no do overs.

Apparently the "win every game" rule only applies to Alabama.

I sure as heck don't see Clemson, Oklahoma, Auburn, Georgia or Ohio State following it.

There is a learning curve he's going through. I also wonder if he's getting the best help from the booth. It seems like there's too much deviation at times from what's working well.

I lost my voice yesterday over this. What in the absolute hell is going on?? Bo is literally only good when he has a huge hole, and I can tackle him by just diving at his legs. Harris is so shifty, quicker, has strength, and just straight up gets yards even when not much is there. It is mind blowing why he doesn’t get the ball more. I can’t wrap my head around it for the life of me.

Damien Harris got 8 touches and averaged 8.9 a touch

Jalen Hurts got 18 rushes for 4.8 a carry

We had two retarded fumbled snaps in a row on the most important drive of the night

We finally held AU on a 3rd down and were offsides on the punt

We let Stidham run for over 50 yards and a TD

We had 1 sack, yet continued to blitz on every 3rd down while they picked us apart with easy crossing routes

I could go on...

We punted on 4th and a foot at midfield like pussies. Downed at the 4, where they proceeded to shove the ball straight up our asses for 96 and a TD

We tarded out completely on a FG that would have made the loss not quite as embarrassing

Yeah, but PI can be so ticky tacky. Sometimes it is called when it really shouldn't be, and in the NFL, it becomes a 40 yard gain. I'm OK with the 15 yarder, but perhaps you can add some type of additional "personal foul" type something.

When a player going for the blatant tackle the receiver and doesn't look or even try to find the ball to prevent a big play, then it should be a spot foul. You shouldnt reward the def for it.
I think a 15 yard would be for the normal PI that u see.

If you see our defense out there with their hands on their hips it should be a sign to run the damn ball. Why we continue to abandon the run will forever blow my mind.

I am tired of seeing Jalen Hurts be the focal point of our running game. We have an embarrassing amount of elite 5 star running backs including one that is good for 7-9 yards a pop yet we use Hurts instead of them when he would be 5th or 6th string at best in our backfield. I really don't get it.
