Anyone ever heard a Bama fan say, "Hey, we just got beat. No excuses."

To be completely honest they almost never need to.

I believe I did in 2007 against LSU. But it was followed by laughing about how LSU’s coach should be fired for almost losing it.
The size difference of the players were like Alabama today playing against Vandy.

It's happened four times over the last nine years. Those games are the 2008 SEC Championship Game, 2010 South Carolina, 2014 CFP SF and 2016 CFP National Championship Game. In every other loss, Bama either coaching or playing well below their standards was the primary factor in their loss.

Me: I have heard it. Have you heard it, Stephen Godcia?
Godcia: I definitely heard it.

I'll go over losses over the past few years, as there is few enough to do so.
Clemson beat us, no excuses. Pretty happy we only got Sark for 1 game now.
Ole Miss got lucky.
Ohio St beat us, we weren't ready for how physical Elliot and Jones were, and they took advantage late after a few injuries.
Ole Miss got lucky.
Oklahoma played a team that didn't want to be there and was worried about other shite.
Auburn got lucky.
So there you go, all the losses for the last 4 years.

The best program with the best coaches and the best players rarely gets beaten without a lot of self-inflicted damage. It happens, but only when the other team is playing out of their minds.

Nope, they take direction from Saban and he always just says Bama didn't play up to par.

They said it plenty of times in 2010 when we beat them. Absolutely zero excuses. I was impressed.

I mean there are always reasons for a loss - for any team, not just Alabama. Its just a really easy troll tactic when someone tries to discuss what happened in a game that resulted in victory. Alabama rarely gets blown out and with any close game, especially in CFB, there are a couple injuries / penalties / freak bounces / missed assignments / mental breakdowns / etc. that sway the game.
For example, Alabama got bit by the injury bug last year. And it is a reasonable comment when discussing the national championship game which was essentially lost on the final play. Clemson was bit by the injury bug in 2015 and it is a reasonable comment to bring up in discussing how the 2015 national championship game was won / lost. Neither of these are excuses or the sole reason that determined the outcome of the game - but certainly played a role in what happened on the field.
ETA: also i'm not saying that Bama should have beat Clemson or beat themselves or any other form of that which will try to be used. Clemson was amazing last year in the CFP and edged Bama out in a great game. Just that there are factors in a game which some people take as "making excuses" when you are really just discussing how the game played out and various important factors in the game.

Their most famous thing is “beating themselves”. As if no team is ACTUALLY better than them.
