Only way we're winning a title is through our offense.

That means Bill O'Brien calling better games and Bryce being more accurate and learning how to throw a deep ball.

It also means finding a solution at RT, getting our Center's head our of his arse and finding WRs who can consistently get separation while catching the ball.

The light will come on for this team or it won't.

If so, there is talent enough for a NC run, especially in one of the weaker all around years of CFB at the top end of it.

If not, it may end up the biggest underachieving team since 2010. It needs some Alphas to step up on the field and hold each other accountable. Coaching is certainly a piece of it. For the life of me, I don't know how we don't adjust to aTm' blitz, why BRob isn't running the damn ball inside the 3, and how (a couple dudes down or no) the D gets exploited so often with so much team talent and speed. BUT, on-field leadership, a killer edge that attacks and wants to dominate EVERY play is missing.

MSU will be telling. I hope to see them come out focused with a chip on their shoulder and go all for 60 mins to dominate,no matter the score or which group from the depth chart is in at any point in time.

There are some big games ahead. And, Bama has to win them all to make the CFPs. Either way, I know where I'll be each Saturday and still appreciate (W or L) all the team does to offer us our couple hours of entertainment and real life outlet each week.

Not sure why you're sugar coating the loss to aTm so much.


I'm not sugar coating the loss at all. We played like crap against a talented team that was motivated and ready to play. The results are indicative of that.

Are we really sure that is the case or is that recruiting rankings we're basing that on? (talent)

I'm not sure Saban has ever looked at recruiting rankings, but I know he has an eye for talent. And, Bama isn't signing anyone that he hasn't blessed of on first.

Yeah man Colorado definitely has outrecruited Alabama, hence why they could hold A&M to 10 pts.

If only Alabama could match Colorado's defensive recruiting

I agree with this. Taking an L sucks arse but we have 6 more games and are reasonably favored in all of them.

Calzada played much better then I had seen him play in previous games. Good for him. Good for A&M. But as someone else said, not much has changed.

Win out and beat UGA in the SEC championship if we want to go to the playoffs. We either do it or we don’t, and end up in some random NY6 bowl

Further, our offense played sloppy at best to a good, not great, defense.
Auburn, Georgia, and possibly LSU have better defenses.




Yeah, but the plays were there, we just didn't execute on plays that we've been hitting most of the year(besides Bryce's deep ball), and we had two costly turnovers. We hope that the mistakes don't become a trend, but we have the offense to score a lot of points in against all of those games.

Offense scored 31 points, and without simple mistakes, our offense likely puts up 45.

One great thing about the last two games is that B Rob has proven to be the guy, and our run game has turned the corner.
