re: Why am I still seeing some Alabama fans making excuses about their L in the natty?

Alabama had a very narrow path to victory and it had to include Metchie and Williams. Once Metchie went down in Atlanta our offense slowed and then Williams went down and we were in trouble. That's because our depth wasn't great, we were replacing a ton of starters already on offense from the 2020 team and all in all we were a very good team but a very flawed team. Injuries happen in football. We just didn't have the firepower elsewhere to make up for their losses, which is part of it. Is what it is, wasn't one of our best teams. They fought through a lot of stuff and ended up having a really nice season, but the flaws showed themselves quite frequently during the year. A lot of those guys are back this year and get to try and take that next step and finish the job.

Georgia won the 2021 national title and they earned it with a great season. Cheers.
