re: Here’s some perspective

We didn’t belong on the field with none of those teams

But somehow our shite talent team managed to play up and have the game won last night until it was taken away from them. The last two games are very ironic when it comes to the excuses we have used for those two inexcusable loses

quote:

---

Those were just bonehead mistakes.

---

So was muffing a punt and having your back to the QB on the last play

quote:

---

Some guy name Vincent Jackson went the wrong way on the one yard line in 84 that cost Iron Bowl.

---

Did he really? I've never heard that and I have heard plenty of Bo's feats.

quote:

---

Apparently we do, we almost beat Alabama.

---

No. They are not good enough.

Hence the reason we gave that game away.

quote:

---

Or just let a punt go. Put together a decent drive. If not punt it deep and make them drive the field with less than 2 minutes on the clock

---

Or drop a probable game sealing TD in the back of the end zone with 6 minutes left.

We were literally in a position to win and our scrub DB got bullied by a top 100 wr in the end zone. It matters

What a fricking pathetic post.

Our "scrub" DB has been one of the highest graded corners in the entire country the past two seasons and will be a ~Top 3-4 round draft pick in a few months. Their "Top 100" WR has 500 yards receiving on the season; he isn't Randy Moss.

That was NOT a "talent" issue.

Throwing the players under the bus is a chicken-shite response. It was a pathetic defensive call by the coaches, and the player in question made a pivotal mistake. Have you considered that players make mistakes when you deliberately put them in stupid defensive positions that you otherwise never put them in? How many times in a game do you rush 0 and ask the DB's to play coverage for that long? You never do; so guess what happens when you try crap like that with the game on the line? Someone fricks up.

James should have played that differently. However, can you tell me why we wasted a man to sit in the middle of the field and spy Milroe? That is a coaching failure, not a player talent failure. That player made zero impact on the play.

Let me go even further: is it a smart coaching decision to give a QB with wonky decision making the comfort to just sit unabated in the pocket and let him have the entire field open to scan at his leisure? The reason why you want to pressure the QB is because if you force him to escape left or right, it effectively cuts the field in half for him and dictates where he can realistically throw the football. This usually means that he is forced to throw it into a crowd, because the opposite side of the field is an absurdly difficult throw. When you let the QB sit in the middle of the pocket, the DB's have to cover sideline to sideline which gives the opposing receivers more room to operate. Furthermore, the QB in question already fricked up twice earlier in the game when he was forced out of the pocket and couldn't keep track of the line of scrimmage. Why would I want to then make it easy for him to do his job, when he has already shown poor decision making under pressure?

Better players across the board will help; no shite. We had that game won and some pivotal coaching calls failed miserably. Do we want to talk about 3rd and goal from the 5 yard line where we decided to try to run Hunter up the middle? He gained 1 yard and we kicked a FG. That is scared coaching. The likelihood of that play resulting in a TD is very low. There was nothing on that play to even throw the defense off; it was just a straight run up the middle.

He will be making the same decisions no matter what roster he has

---

Ok I will bite, what decisions did HF make? Scott was injured and Moore was the back up and you expect a guy that has been playing since he was a kid to make a fair catch. The defense on the last play was shitty but I don’t think Hugh gets involved in calling D. He took over the worst AU team talent wise of any coach since Dye.

quote:

---

We went toe to toe with arguably the best team in the Nation with no real players. We don’t have 1 guy that would start for them. We have zero 5stars to their dozen. Players make plays and we just don’t have them....


...Brother Hugh had us punching well above our class yesterday but at the end of the day they got the jimmies and joes we got what we got and it showed when it came time to make plays. The good news is this is the worst roster Freeze will ever.

Delete "Hugh" and "Freeze" and insert "Harsin" and I am sure someone posted the exact same thing after the loss to Alabama in 2021.

wtf

We were literally in a position to win and our scrub DB

Uh, you do realize that scrub DB will be playing on Sundays, right? He is the 6th highest rated DB on the season (according to PFF grading).
