🏈 GAME THREAD 🏈 Alabama -17 vs Florida State - 31

How bad is Simpson?

He's as good as his line allows him to be.

Bottom line it still comes down to blocking and tackling. We are not doing either very well. First drive was impressive. Mo has to be shifted back early in the third quarter.

Would y’all stop using the Saban media? We don’t have him to save us now!

Used to be death sentence to call Alabama out. Looks like Alabama is playing with absolutely no motivation whatsoever on defense.

I'm ready for December, lol.

WOW!
Did anyone see this coming?

Unfortunately, I kinda felt it might go this way… was hoping FSU would suck like last year, but looking over transfers they had… I kinda felt they’d could be good and I knew they’d want to prove themselves this year. I’m sure they focused on this game for a long time… ultimate trap game.

I think the years of greatness has made these kids expect to just win. Now with NIL I feel these “super stars” are just soft. Hoping I’m wrong and it turns around,.. but I’m not seeing fundamentals being executed well… it’s sloppy.

Unfortunately looks like a continuation of all the things that held back last season's team. This is where DeBoer will start to lose support from the fans. Consistent mistakes that aren't adjusted. Defense getting beat by the runs on the perimeter; penalties keeping drives alive; no accountability or leadership during games. Just a lot of off-season talk.

Really hoped that last year was an anomaly. Now starting to think that this will be the norm as long as we have the same coaching staff

Not what I was hoping for, but what I expected. DeBoer cannot coach in the SEC.

I'm starting to think this is just what we get under deboer now. I was hopeful about him, but not anymore.

We were all hopeful he'd work out. Just doesn't seem like that's gonna happen.

 

[Bammerboy321]

If there's any change that finally needs to happen is Roach as the D-Line coach. Man he has been underwhelming.

 

[bamaledge]

What needs to happen to pull it out?

What needs to happen to pull it out?

A miracle...

 

[Bammerboy321]

What needs to happen to pull it out?

Quick 3 and out or a turnover. Alabama's still in this but it definitely has to play with more urgency.

 

[alabama mike]

What needs to happen to pull it out?

Sustained drives on offense.
Tackle on defense and not give up 3rd and anything over 6 yards.

 

[Nothing_But_A_Winner00]

How does this happen? I just don't understand.

Been saying that for years..

At least my Saturday’s can be spent fishing again.
