A 4th and 500 hail mary masked the fact that Alabama went in and played like shite against a terrible Auburn team


At least that Bama team had a chance to win the game on the last play. This Bama team just got blown out by a team that was 1-5 in SEC play

Well pardon me for being a bit more forgiving for a first year in the program coach as opposed to a coach in his 17th year.

Staff made decisions this year that will impact future years.

Team not prepared.
Coaching wasn't good.
O line wasn't good.
Qb was awful.
Defense not physical enough/out of position.
Punter sucked.
Refs sucked with the worst call I've seen in my life probably.

This team is soft, weak, and undisciplined. Look at the penalties, especially at the wrong time, or the actions of some like Moore.

Also, some on here are talking about how much talent is on this team. Is it really that talented??? Malachi had been nonexistent for 2 years. Milroe not a good qb. O line talks big, but isn't very good. Lbs aren't special. Nothing impressive in db's. The only real talent is Williams. I just think the talent may not be that great.

And lastly...i think the state of this whole team can be summed up with Milroe, being a captain and supposedly leader, throwing an INT, partly because of the receiver not blocking but he also didn't look, and he chewed the receiver out. The Milroe flat out throws a terrible INT, and instead of making the tackle, hitting him out of bounds, pushing him, anything!! Milroe tried to trip him. He tried to trip him. And that's the Leader of the team?!?!? There's the problem.

Talent isn't the issue. We've talented players. It's coaching and development.

Does OU have more talent than Bama? Or did the coaches game plan better? Did the OU players want it more?

I just don't think Deboer has it in him to be inspirational. He's stated that he doesn't like to give those talks, that he likes a player led team.

Obviously he's here whether or not I want him at Bama. So hopefully he can improve on what I've seen so far. Otherwise he won't be here long.

Well, he doesn't need a team led by a guy who tries to trip a guy returning his INT, instead of making the tackle.

He absolutely doesn't...guess who can sit said guy?

Not arguing, just conversation

The schedule set up for a 11-1 record at worse. That is what Saban would have had.

You sure?

Saban was a miracle play away from losing to a dogshit Auburn team last year.

Saban had to hold off a 4 win Arkansas team to escape an upset last year.

Saban was blown out by the very Texas team that Deboer beat last year (and the prior year).

Saban had a 7 point lead heading into the 4th over South Florida last year.

So give me a list of coaches that would take that same Milroe-led team, minus the likes of Downs, Bond, Amos, Turner, Arnold, Roydell, Burton, Niblack, etc. and go 11-1 when Saban himself struggled with four abysmal teams the prior year.

Some of you guys are clearly overestimating this team's market value.

All I know is, something is going on within the program that needs to be fixed. That was the worst game I’ve seen Bama play in twenty years. Everything starts at the top. If there are problems the head coach has to fix them. Internally, this player led shite will not work when the leaders are not doing it themselves. Talk, saying the right things to media is that, just talk. Get your arse out there and show me. Save that talking for your girl.

The talent level will just get worse from here.

We just had a few players drop out of this class and we’re still top 3. Also seems like Deboer is pretty good at filling voids using the transfer portal.
