Refs

I don’t like to blame the refs but damn, that crew was going after us and letting Tennessee get away with a lot.

I’ll never understand that last PI call. There was no flag until super late in that play.

It reminded me of that 2003 NCG when Miami got the incompletion in the end zone to seal the game, and suddenly a last second flag for PI. Ohio State tied the game and won in OT.

There was no flag until super late in that play. Like you said, throwing flags after the fact cuz that was game over

You don't know that just because the TV crew didn't see it and say anything. That doesn't mean shite. Have you seen a clip showing when the flag game out of his pocket? frick no you haven't. Moore had his arm wrapped around his fricking waist. If it had been a Bama receiver, you'd have been screaming for a flag, and you fricking know it.

I was at the game and looked around the goal line for a flag during the interception return. Could easily have missed it but it was a massively late flag and an iffy call. Don’t know why that’s such a controversial opinion on a Bama board.

Should have added in my OP that it shouldn’t have mattered because we didn’t do anything to help ourselves and put us in a position to lose from the get go. Most undisciplined and immature team we’ve had under Saban, and we’re not winning shite if it continues

I think there’s clearly some anti-Bama bias going on. Don’t believe it’s any kind of conspiracy. Refs just seem a little more eager to call things on us for some reason. Whether it’s to prove they aren’t in our pocket or something, who knows. Throw in some utter incompetence and there you go.

That said, at the end of the day yesterday wasn’t an isolated incident. We have a penalty problem. We’ve been becoming increasingly undisciplined while I ur head coach does nothing to work the refs or light a fire under our players like he used to.

The way the game was called (I know that can't be true) but it appeared the refs had no intent on a even call. It looked as though they were after our azz almost as much as UT.

Fukers didn't even know what down it was.

I can accept losing if you just get plain beat by the better team. And I can accept a lot of the penalties was justified, false start, offsides, delay off game. But critical penalties like pass interference when the ball was deflected and intercepted in the end zone and ran to the 40. That would have basically sealed the game.

That was a terrible call. The refs waited forever. The can't wait to watch the play ad throw a flag after they are pressured to do so by Tenn. They either saw PI when it happened or they didn't. There almost needs to be a rule the ref throws a flag within 2-3 seconds of immediately seeing the foul or they can't throw it later...........But the worst was reversing an obvious targeting and not calling the late hits on Young ALL day. The refs were obviously caught up in some sort of bias where they were just not calling Tenn.

For the people saying, stop blaming the refs. Yes we should have just played better, but this is not loser crying talk. The refs set a new RECORD for penalties against us in a game!!! These missed calls on Young are facts that even Gary was describing on TV. I had people texting me during the game about late hits on Young. I believe this was one of those games you could show it to a ref crew for review and even they would say it was horribly called. Saban should file a complaint. Bama hate is real. And when we finally start going down, it will look like vultures tearing apart a carcass all trying to get their kick in while they can.

Had Moore not been draped all over him he probably would have caught the pass for six.

It takes the accountability of the players.

The call or no call that got me was the fumble where they quickly blew the whistle and ruled the play dead on an obvious fumble. That’s fine but they been allowing the same guy to extend play on previous downs.
