It was a devil’s advocate question because people are going on and on about why won’t he give Ty a chance.

Completely agree. Again just a rhetorical devil’s advocate question.

Well how pray tell do you fix that when the players are now, essentially, equal partners in this stuff.

The fact that we needed a Hail Mary to win it is pretty telling of what a poor offensive performance we had.

Offensive? Milroe completed 67% of his passes for 250+ yds, 2 TDs, no INTs, and rushed for 100+ yds and no fumbles, including a key 19 yd run where he knocked out the Auburn safety on the winning drive. And on 4th and 31, how many QBs could’ve thrown that dime to Bond in that situation? Not many I’d wager…

Meanwhile our defense gave up 200+ rushing yards against a bad AU offense, not to mention a blown coverage on a TD pass…but no, it was Milroes’s poor offensive performance that put us in a Hail Mary position…

"Retarded" is a professionally acceptable word in Healthcare. "Retard" is just the word made into a noun. It really isn't a slur unless it's perceived that way which isn't the user's fault.

A miscarriage is an abortion. Doesn't matter whether or not you like the word or not. I as a healthcare professional can't chart "miscarriage" I have to call it a "spontaneous abortion." "Retarded" is the same thing. Everyone wants to do a way with the word when it's a perfectly legitimate and meaningful word. Don't say "retard" but "kunt" is ok? That's retarded.

No words should be banned.

You honestly don’t remember not just 1, but 2 passes beyond the LOS? 4th and 31 was a direct result of the second one. Our last possession was an offensive clown show bailed out by Hugh playing a 2 man rush.

OK any real insiders ... not message board yappers ... got anything on this? If it's that bad I'm dumbfounded.

Who is Flash and why should I respect his alleged insider knowledge?

One is a former player the other is a media person.

That's why I asked if there is anyone actually on the ground in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who knows anything. I sure don't, I last covered Alabama sports in 1997.

The former player now breeds race horses according to his X profile.

Takes a lot of money to do that.

Hope he's giving to NIL.

I’d hope so. But if he’s as pissed as it seems he might have stopped payment on some checks.

It's not and hasn't been for a decade. It was changed to intellectual disability. And as someone whose favorite cousin suffered and eventually died from a severe case of cerebral palsy I say anybody on here using the word retard to insult the intelligence of a perfectly healthy 20 something year old football player can get well and truly fricked.

You honestly don’t remember the bad snap that put us back there in the first place? The bad snap cost us 18 yards, the penalty only cost us 5…not a smart play but think he made up for it on the next one…and do you honestly think those 2 passes beyond the LOS relegates a 184+ QB rating for that game into a poor offensive performance?
