It is mainly terrible Alabama fans who have given up and abandoned supporting their own team who have pushed this narrative.

It is embarrassing how spineless our fans can be. How quick they will turn against their own team. Every intelligent poster on this forum knew it would be nearly impossible to go undefeated. So why is the fallout like we just lost to Auburn last year?

It's disgraceful.

I am far from a terrible alabama fan and I am telling you right now, we are not one of the best teams in the country this year. It has nothing to do with being a terrible fan. Its being a realistic fan. And I normally never say shite like this unless its about the basketball team (which will continue to suck donkey dick as long as Grant is the coach).

We just arent as good this year as we have been being. Its a bit of a rebuilding year, which is ok. We are young and inexperienced in the secondary, which is tough to succeed with in a conference like the SEC. We just lost our best double threat player in Drake. We also just lost a big part of our fantastic front 4 on D.

We will lose another game this year, possibly (probably) 2. We should have won it all last year and that would have made rebuilding this year a little less painful, but sloppy play and some bad luck lost the iron bowl for us and then the bowl game was just a fricking "I dont give a frick" fest of epic proportions. Not to mention a clusterfrick of a offensively called game.

This year should have been the rebuilding year after title number 4, but instead its just another rebuilding year with nothing in the trophy case to hold us over and make us feel better about it. Sorry if some of you think that mindset makes me a terrible fan but I can tell you right now if you said it to my face I'd more than likely force feed you your teeth. Screaming Roll Tide the whole time. Just sayin

Every single team in the nation seems worse than years past except those in Mississippi.

You don't know this. You're making an overreaction to one loss.

This is what I'm talking about. One dude mocked me for saying we will win out asking if I have a crystal ball.... yet he can say we suck and we're going to the capital one bowl.

For what it's worth I don't think you're terrible. I don't like how you laugh at the idea we're one of the best, but I don't think you're terrible.

Agreed. optimism is a horrible criteria for measuring good/bad fanhood. We could lose every game until November and my arse would still be in BDS for the whole WCU game cheering for my university.

And my arse will be in Coleman watching another round of Grant's farewell tour.

Back to the OP, I hope it becomes a team effort this year. didnt Vinnie, CJ, and AJ do that around this time last year? Might be mixing up the players.

5 of the top 8 just went down in one weekend.

Who are all of these teams that are so much better than Bama?

Ole Miss won a pretty evenly matched game at their place and while Ole Miss certainly played well, Alabama was in a position to win that game. Ole Miss is a good team. Bama is a good team.

I haven't seen anything out of the other top teams in the country (FSU, Auburn, MSU, ND, Baylor) that tells me Alabama couldn't compete with and beat them.
