Or are we still not good enough to satisfy you spoiled brats?

Still concerned some with the Oline play. AJ was hit a lot. But, they showed improvement. I'm happy with that, and I think that's all anyone wanted to see previously.

I was pleased with Saturdays effort. However, I'm still concerned about the penalties, the O-line play and the receivers inability to get separation

Doug Nussmeir needs to get his head out of his arse. Our route combinations have been high school level this year.
3rd and 9? 4 yard drag route, no one will expect that.

Just want running game to improve and get consistent. I'm not good enough (as far as reading football) to be able to tell if it's the offensive line or the RB's. But the flashes of really HOT runs make me think it's got to be the o-line not mentally syncing up and knowing when to make that lean left / lean right when the exact X's and O's play call doesn't go pitch perfect.
THEN I'll be really happy.

For the record, there is something to both sides of Posi / Nega-gumps thing...
As reflected by the LSU fans VERY well on the tiger rant, the truth lies usually somewhere in between due to human emotion. It's good to be positive and faithful and supportive, but not to a fault. Likewise, it's good to be critical and realistic about what you see... but not to a fault.
I think what we have with the whole "negativity" thing at least on this board is simple... most of our fans here, regardless of age or maturity, have a realistic understanding of what they've been seeing in the Saban era. It only comes off negative because i mean god damn... a team can only play on the consistent level Saban has had us at for SO long before seeing some sort of small dip.
Hey, at least it's not boring!

There is nothing wrong with criticizing things that can be criticized. I never thought the sky was falling, but there were areas that needed to improve. We saw a lot of that this weekend, butchers is still room for improvement such as reducing penalties and getting better on 3rd downs.
ETA: If I see Christian Jones running another underneath route on 3rd and long, I will probably break something.

I still think that Alabama will have to play better than they have played so far to beat LSU or Georgia (if they play them) this year. I also am confident that the progression will be there by the time those game hit the schedule though.

There is always room for improvement.

Rank 102nd out of 123 FBS teams on 3rd down conversions (19 out of 50 this year) & offense still plays atrociously.
Not satisfied.
Not possible. In the time it would take for him to get open, AJ would already be sacked.

Would also like to see Yeldon utilized more as a passing option out of the backfield.

Wish Bama could place a shock collar on Both K brothers and zap them every time they false start.

Almost.
Question for you fellas: Where was O.J. Howard Saturday? I thought I saw him in the game early but I don't remember him playing much. Did I imagine it or did he get hurt or something?
