Unfortunately, we have real reason to panic. The team was whipped and embarrassed yesterday. Our coach acts disinterested as do a lot of our players. There’s not much reason to think that it will change going forward.

I watched Saban get his arse whipped by Gus and Freeze enough times to not be blowing up over this opener

Sucks, but we still don’t really have any insight on this team besides Wommack still not knowing how to deal with run option offenses

I think 9-3 is the ceiling. Kirby will finally get his this year and LSU might be the best team in the league. That being said, Auburn, Tenn, SC, OU, Vandy, Missouri..any of those could be a loss if the play doesn’t play better than yesterday.

I would say 10-2. We handled LSU well last year so I’m not too concerned on that front. I would lean towards us dropping Georgia.

Vandy, Mizzou, etc. are clear advantages.

South Carolina I just really don’t get super concerned about. I think they get more hype around Sellers than he’s actually worth.

At this stage I just don’t really know what our offense truly is scheme wise, we went to the kitchen sink yesterday after a fantastic opening drive

Best case scenario is that FSU is actually a playoff team and the rain and sloppiness and first time starter at QB made for a bad performance, and we'll see a different team going forward. The best case scenario is likely not reality though.

Because they are more talented. Recruiting rankings are garbage when it comes to Bama.
Iowas is not known for football talent. We got a 5 star from Iowa who’s big, fat and slower than a snail.
We’ve got tiny linebackers who get run over by RBs, have poor gap control and take bad angles to pursue.
We’ve got RBs who can’t shed a single tackle.
I could go on.

The way this team played yesterday we could go winless in conference play...

It could mirror Auburn in 2012 levels of bad. If we lose another couple of games then players will start to check out mentally and that’s will be all she wrote.

Running QBs will give Bama fits....but they match up well with UGA and LSU

Gunner Stockton can move. He’s not like Carson Beck.

3 losses almost guaranteed. Could easily be 2 more with Okie and Aubie. We are staring down the barrel of 7-5 unless yesterday was just an aberration or FSU is really that good.

FSU has a really easy schedule. They could be a playoff team assuming that Alabama isn't just a mirror image of their 2024 squad (2-10).

However, I do not think FSU is an earnest contender. Mostly schedule merchant playoff bid achievement.
