Don’t project your bs to me. Maybe you took the rat poison and expected to blow everyone out. Not all of us are that gullible.

My final thought on this topic is if anyone is satisfied with today's win I don't want to see a single post from you if we lose.

If you can't criticize when we win then you can't criticize when we lose.

Vegas projected us to win by 21.

Every pundit predicted a blowout win.

Today was a lot like the Florida game last year. Barely beat a mediocre team on the road early in the year. We ended up winning the conference and losing in the title game after crushing injuries. I say we don’t bail just yet but give it some time to play out.

And we won that game then polished a turd against A&M.

Thanks for proving my point.

We were.

We aren't ranked #1 because people expect us to go 10-2.

Well we won the conference and could have won the natty despite injuries so I guess I don’t know your point

The ante has been upped with nil. The players absolutely deserve to make money, but there will be more pressure and questions about priorities.

Players all say the right thing, but no way I believe all the attention and distractions don’t affect their performance. It’s human nature.

My point is we won a game that we played like shite in and didn't learn from it like we would have with a loss.

We lost a couple weeks later to a team we shouldn't have.

Today frustrated me because this is a veteran team who everyone anticipated would be laser focused after last year. And they came out and played possibly the sloppiest and most undisciplined first half I've seen Alabama play since 2007.

I've tried with BoB, but today was negligence. He cannot adjust when the opponent does something different than planned for or we can't execute the plan. He just had no ability to adjust. At all. It's very frustrating and a huge problem for a college coordinator.

And as for Saban, it is what it is. We're clearly not the robotic machine we once were. I'm sure Saban had lost a step with all that. I also know that kids are just entirely different now. I'm not in the building so I don't know what's changed, but it hasn't benefited us.

Regardless, I'm trying my best to enjoy the wins and not look at things from the everything has to be perfect approach. Saban does, and he should, but I'm a fan with a job and a family and a hard life. I don't have to do that.

So, I hope we use today and get better the next 2 weeks before Arkansas. I don't know we will, but we might. Out of my control. Certainly a very frustrating day today, but having a great QB and a NFL kicker can cover some issues. Won us the game today.

Sorry. Not sorry. That team pissed me off.

Well said.

We definitely need to get it fixed by then because Arkansas bullied the frick out of Texas last year. They will be ready to play.

I have no expectations. Today was an extension of last year, unfortunately. I flat out did not see that coming this year. It's really disappointing.

It's absolutely disappointing.

That's where the frustration lies.

We were supposed to be an older, more mature team who learned from their mistakes last season.

Today showed that is not the case.
