Water under the bridge as what's done is done.
BUT: did the A&M nation attribute this loss to the one series in which Manziel was pulled from the game after he was hurt? If I'm not mistaken A&M went a 3 and out on this drive with the backup QB. Beforehand, Manziel was moving the ball up and down the field at will?

Um no, we couldn't get a stop in the 2nd half. No D.

Most will probably say that or the horsecollar. My view is when we had the lead earlier in the game, we had a chance to put Auburn away. We didn't do that. We turned the ball over in the redzone and didn't have the killer instinct that the 2012 team seemed to have when leading.

not an a&m fan, but read plenty of 'if johnny wasn't hurt' threads so i feel i can weigh in.
Yes.
or horse collar.

I don't attribute the loss to just that but yes I believe it was a part of it. Our total lack of defense had a much larger roll than that one series. Before you Aubies tell me defenses can't dtop the Gus Bus I agree your running game is hard to stop but that wheel route pass that we gave up hurt more than all the running

I can't speak for the "A&M nation;" but I'll speak for myself ...
... No.
... No.

Do our pussy fans say that? Yes. In reality we lost because we had a horrible defense all year.

I think this was a game where Manziel was actually injured a lot more than we think.
He was shown in several pictures during the weeks of the last 3 games with tape on his hands, etc. Not sure what the story behind it is, they kept it pretty quiet.
They beat us fair and square, injured Manziel is better than most of the QBs in the country so we still could have won if we had better players/coaching

Couldn't make the stops on d is the main reason. However, that injury did happen at a critical time. We were up 7 down inside the 5 yard line and it was 3rd down. Joeckel missed an open Hicks in the corner of the endzone on the next play, and you could feel the change in energy in the stadium. That being said, we had our chances to make the stops to win the game and didn't, so you have to give Auburn credit for pulling out the W.

We didn't go 3 and out at first, we settled for 3 points when we have the ball at the 2 yard line. Then we went 3 and out. Then the horse collar. It sucks, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. You need lots of luck to win in this league sometimes we had our fair share against Ole Miss, and this year Auburn has it in excess. Just the way it is.

it wasn't THE reason but it was certainly one of many factors that added up.
Auburn seemingly had every single big break fall their way in the second half of that game and to their credit they took full advantage.

...and the lovely horse-collar.
Refs thought we were playing v Bama I guess.
But we lost because our defense blows donkey nuts.

I mean, JFF was doing just about what he wanted before and after he got hurt.
We had to score. Of course he gives us a better chance to do that than Joeckel.
If the injury doesn't happen we probably score on that drive and certainly don't go 3 and out on the next.
It's whatever.

No D, Manziel injury, blatant horsecollar no call in front of official as we were driving into red zone after moving ball at will and would have had multiple timeouts and 45 sec or so left. I was pretty drunk and angry/depressed so things could be a bit fuzzy.

We were and are part of the conspiracy to end Saban's title run.
Mission accomplished
Auburn didn't actually think it could get there on its own.....

The main reason for every loss this season (minus LSU) was our defense. If you are consistently scoring 40+ points a game and still losing, you have defensive problems.
