Guys, everyone's life will be completely fine. Just wear it. I know, this sucks sooooo bad.
Spoiled? You're damn right we are. This loss is unforgivable though. What we just watched...that was some shite boys. Holy shite.

This was all on Saban. You've lost confidence in Foster, so you put Griffith out there to make that kick...but you didn't have confidence in Griffith to make a 30 yard kick that probably would have been the winning margin? Running the FG back 109 yards isn't that much of a fluke, because your FG team probably doesn't practice covering kicks that would be returned.
This still makes no sense to me, Saban went with experienced kicker on a chip shot. Sure he missed a 44 yarded earlier but you go with experience here. After the 3rd miss you saw Saban lost faith in Foster. Instead of letting Foster kick a 40-45 yard attempt he went for it on 4th and 2 and Auburn stopped them. He gave Foster another attempt and he kicked it low to get blocked, of course he wouldn't go with Foster on a 4th attempt.

One day kids will begin to wisen up to the fact that Saban has a flaw of playing to his defense, time and again.
Why recruit athlete after athlete for offense if you're going to craft 80% of your offense around someone of Yeldon's caliber? Why come to play in an offense like that?

So THIS is what Terry Saban was talking about.
You ever just off on a giving day playing golf? I imagine FG kicking is like that.
He made one--and they had that ticky-tak movement penalty.
I'm not going to throw one of our own--any of them--under the bus.
This loss sucks but it is what it is. We got outplayed and out coached. End of story.

It's proven to be successful when you have the right rbs to make the offense go. Imo drake has more talent than yeldon and I thought it was pretty obvious early on in the year. Saban says they play the best player all the time but I'm beginning to question that a little. Our run blocking was terrible today.

Drake must have been hurt, right?! That said, Yeldon's didn't have a bad 2nd half, IMO

It is what it is.
Either way, I hope NFL scouts really saw what kind of a back Yeldon is tonight. I'd take any three previous first-stringers, and Roy Upchurch, any day over him. Just awful.
Been saying all year that this is the worst RB tandem in the last seven years.

It works when you have a guy that looks like Trent Richardson or Derrick Henry.
Unfortunately we don't have that this year. We used to punish people.
Yeldon and Drake are fine but they aren't going to wear people down.

We've lost 3 games in 3 years and 2/3 have been directly because of Cade Foster choking. Who do we have to pay to get a reliable kicker around here?

Am I doing it right?

Guys obviously we have more talent on the field than auburn, but when you keep making mistake after mistake it eventually catches up with you no matter who your playing. When you keep the other team in the game and never take control this happens. They never once in the game showed signs of quitting.

We can't win them all. We got beat today. It's not the end it's only the beginning. With that said we had our chances to break their backs. Just couldn't seal the deal. this is not the alabama of old. We will reload. We will lose some great players. But we have a stockpile of talent to pull from. We will be a top 5 team at the start of next season. Remember if this was next year we would still be in the hunt for a top 4 spot in the playoff.

Drake had 4 carries for 33 yards. Every time he went down he was covering up the ball. Yeldon wasn't 100%. Should have let AJ win the game. In the 4th quarter Saban coached the game not to lose, instead of going for the victory.

While you're at it, find the price of a home weight bench suitable for Cyrus Jones. He needs all the training he can get on the strength part. The first couple of times he got pushed five yards off the line during a sweep were somewhat comical. Then it just got sad.

What's the point in even hoping for an undefeated season anymore? All Bama does is win 11 games each year only to lose a game in November. Then they have to rely on other teams to lose just so they can play for a national championship. Luck has been on Bama's side during this "dynasty" and finally it's catching up. The coach that the UA pays millions of dollars for is, to put it lightly, a pussy. He bitches about the HUNH because he's "concerned about player safety". When in actuality he's afraid because it completely destroys his precious defense. All the 5* & 4* DBs, LBs, OL, DL, RBs, QBs & WRs aren't going to help when the game comes down to kicking FGs & your team always has the least clutch kickers in CFB. It's also not going to help when you run the ball on 3rd and short to get 0 yards & then try the same thing again hoping to catch the defense off guard. It's easy to blame the K or the Defense. When it's actually the coach & his staff. Maybe next year they'll go undefeated. More than likely they'll finish 11-1 though. It's their trademark, their MO, now. Instead of "Never Again"; it should be "Same shite, Different Year".

So THIS is what Terry Saban was talking about.
An allegedly intelligent woman like Terry Saban should be able to understand that fans can appreciate her husband's accomplishments while at the same time pointing out his shortcomings. After all, her husband does that all the time with his players. And if she can't tell the difference, maybe she needs to avoid interviews if she's just going to end up getting her panties in a wad.

Tonight's loss was a team loss. Anyways, if you're going to question his selection of player, then question why Cyrus Jones played significantly in this game? He gave up two touchdowns and got beat at least on other time that I can recall.
