🏈 A day later, I ponder if we’re overreacting to Alabama’s loss at FSU.

Two teams who had very underwhelming seasons and a program who just came off a 2-10 season. We looked for improvements in year two under DeBoer, but unfortunately, it looks like the same problems persists. Self-inflicted penalties that extend drives; poor leadership; and obvious lack of preparation. All the talk of accountability seems to have gone out the window.

I deleted off dvr. I have enough in life to deal with.

This keeps up, I'm about to find a side job for the weekends.

No overreacting, maybe slight premature reacting.

I have heard about "premature " things.

Maybe sell programs at stadium???

As we get older. We have time to reflect
And think about something we might have wanted to do in our life

I always wanted to be a beer salesman at a baseball game. Practice practice practice

Coooool beer here. Co-olddddd beer.
I think i would have been good

Like Bobby Humphrey in the 1980's? Seems like I heard somewhere once (or maybe 500 times) that he sold programs in Legion field lol.
That was "Ryan Williams is only 17" 45 years earlier!

No, we're not.

This team is full of pussies. They have NO fight in them. It was evident last season, and even more so this season...even after just 1 game. They lack discipline. They lack motivation. They lack commitment. And they lack the balls to get the job done.

I really hope they get better, I truly do. But I just don't see that happening. They're a 4-8 team AT BEST.

The FSU QB was right!

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Sure. 15 point favorites getting trounced....
Maybe the favorite bought into the kool-aid

Yes, and believed the reporting of chaos and dissension among the FSU team and coaches. Rat poison, I'd say.

However, the main thing is that Malzahn was playing chess and Wommack was fumbling with checkers. I saw Malzahn chuckling on the sideline, had to be thinking how easy it was.

Best he can do imo. Can't wait for him to move on.

Nope... ITS PANIC BUTTON TIME..

But i think there is a lot of over reacting.
... fire KD
....not watching any more games
....not going to anymore games
Etc

Thats overreacting.
Personally i am excited to get to BD this weekend. See some improvements. Some motivation. More effort.
I still believe in Ty I am sure our D will improve. Oline needs to open some holes.

Its LaMontoe i know. I dont care. I wanna see bama kick some ass

I’ll be there. Hope to see you.

Think I saw where Bama is 5-5 over the last 10 games. Overeacting is believing the rat poison before the season started not calling out what we saw on Saturday. Saw a lot of red/yellow flags last year but I was trying to be patient and hanging my hat on CKDs past success. A lot of rah rah and gereral must stay positive attitudes at all cost when you need to be ripping players and coacehes backsides.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

I’ll be there. Hope to see you.

Yep. Be there. Red shirt. Says bama... houndstooth hat. Says Alabama
Cant miss me. Section C. Row 45

Headed down thursday.

Have fun at the game. But if the unthinkable happens, I need you to get on that field and tackle our coach.... I mean Reuben foster level of violence. I want to see that closing speed as well.

IMO, it isn't overreacting when the issues we saw on Saturday were the exact same type of issues we saw in Bama's losses last season. The belief was, many of those issues were fixed. However, the evidence shows that not only were they not fixed, they may have spread and become rooted. And I'm talking mostly about 3 things... effort (which is a player issue), lack of fundamentals and physicality (which is player and coach issue) and lack of preparedness (mostly on defense, which is a coaching issue that also can bleed over to players).

What I'm having a difficult time squaring is the effort issues, the loafing, the guys who almost seem scared of contact out there.

One thing I'm not overly concerned with (yet?) is the offense, specifically Simpson. He didn't have a great first game, but it also wasn't terrible. There's plenty to build on there and I suspect he will.

But above all else, whether it is teammates holding others accountable or the staff pushing buttons they might not usually push, the effort and overall intensity must get turned up. Ultimately, it's up to the individual player though. And I just can't wrap my mind around why it is a team wide issue that appears to be growing like a cancer.

And that. Will it show up or be a virus that speads.
Dont know anything about Monroe.
But i suspect. Giving effort vs bama wont be an issue
I full expect a tough game.

I can't go through another season of this, just the same mistakes and mental errors over, and over, and over, and over again. If we struggle this weekend my brain will explode.

 

[Scrape&Search1032]

I'm gonna sit down for a little while and do some soul searching.

 

[Kamikazi18627]

I hope so. I hope FSU is really freaking good and we win out and get another shot at them in the playoffs

It's gonna be sad and funny at the same time if we struggle against ULM and have to come from behind to win, but only by like 2 or 3 points.

The whole team needs to be pissed off as hell and they need beat the ever-lovin' shit out of ULM. I mean it needs to get BAD...like 77-0 bad with 3rd-stringers getting scores. But I suspect they won't. They'll put in a lackluster performance simply because it's ULM and they'll probably win by less than 10.

I hope they do man. I just don't have faith in deboer and this staff right now. They gotta earn that back.
