To be fair our office is pretty stacked with one of the top two or three backs in the SEC We just haven’t had a quarterback

watch highlights of the 2011 and 2016 defenses, and cry

You might want to swap out 2016 highlights for '92, '09, or '17; as talented as our 2016 defense was, they gave up three 400+ yard passing games...

When I was a lot younger and had a job where I told the sales people how much money they could make, there was this one sales lady in her 40s who would come to my desk with about that much cleavage showing and lean over to talk to me about her pricing. I was in my late 20’s, I didn’t mind

If you have to ask, you can't afford her.

It's true, so true. Our defense sucks and that's all there is to it. It hurts but it is what it is.

Oh well. How are the Bayou Bengals faring this year?

Uh oh! That doesn't sound good. Don't tell me y'all have lost a game already too! CBS isn't going to be happy about this!

Yeah, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017 National title winners at Alabama lost a game during the year as well.

All that loss has done is made Coach Saban more focused. Just in case you are wondering the two losses Alabama had in the title game was when Alabama was unbeaten during the regular season.

Number 19 coming this year.

You guys are nuts.

Even when we "played well" this year, we still need 5 guys to make a tackle and the other team always falls forward for another 2-3 yards.

Like watching a bunch of pop warner players. I don't know what our weights are, but we play small and have absolutely no physicality.

Bryce Young can not throw a deep ball.

Still a damn good football team, but this team is NOT elite.

Ain't none of the first round draft picks from any of those past defenses gonna walk through the door and help this group.

Coach Saban will retire when his NC total reaches double digits at Alabama, so 4 more.

Remember this was the year that even Alabama fans said would be difficult. The next few years, not so much.

It will not take any of those players to come back to win the NC this year.

19 coming
