🏈 GAME THREAD 🏈 Vanderbilt - 14 vs Alabama - 30

[Justneedme81]

Bama standard.... Going back the the Bear days I would talk about a Bama game and people would ask, Bama won right? Bama fans that understand the game have always looked at how they play not just W/L.... W/L is important but not the only thing.

Bama standard left when NIL showed up.

Man it doesn't matter if Bama won 100-0 folks still gonna complain.

Shrug

You can’t look at this team and feel that it’s good enough right now to be a top 3 or 4 team. There’s no freaking way

sigh... see that gesture really does not add any value to the conversation.

Only thing that will impact the Bama standard is what you allow to be acceptable that does not measure up.

Actually it does add the value to the conversation. Before NIL was introduced... You saw players playing hard, staying, not transferring, not having to worry about external factors. NIL deal comes out...

The culture of the team started to disappear. We start losing to teams we shouldn't be. I think the Bama Culture of today isn't the same as four years ago. But one thing I can assure you is this: I just want to see the team play hard and never give up. That's all I can ask for from this team right now.

How about Justin Jefferson with 14 tackles? Pierre and Collins did their thing as well.

If you're going to take out the big rushing plays to credit the run D, you need to eliminate yards lost from sacks as well.

Is Casagrande calling Pavia a chihuahua?

Casagrande: Alabama needed to shut a big mouth

Diego Pavia and Vanderbilt had a lot to say before Saturday before Alabama made the Commodores eat those words.

Lot's of suttle mexican references....

Pretty sure you missed the point of that one line - You posted just this one single word "sigh". That adds no value.

NIL is a different thing, lets just agree to disagree... "Same things win that always won everything else is just excuses."

Pierre has really developed nice. He has become one of our more reliable defenders for sure.

 

[BamaFan334]

I get it, but runs like rhat can also lose you a ball game. That means there was a bad call or busted assignment. It should not be ignore because "it was only two plays". Other than that, I've been complimentary of this defense bending, but not breaking.

It's ok to find things to work on. You don't have to get upset with the fact we need to clean up on a number of things. We go through a rough slate of games here coming up. These homerun ttpe runs coukd be a difference maker. We have extremely little room for error due to the Florida State loss, and a number of tough games coming. I'm a defensive guy and I see we need to clean up a number of things. It's ok I didn't kiss Domani and Bray's ass against Georgia. It's ok I feel Lawson is a liability for us on defense anymore. You can't prove me wrong for thinking any of those things because there is plenty of tape to prove there is plenty to work on there.

We have played well the last two weeks, but if we want to win a Natty, it better get cleaned up sooner rather than later with the misses assignments and questionable tackling.

Yeah, we left 3 points on the table.

 

[Justneedme81]

You literally have no position, you're just happy we won and shoot comments back at everyone else because we aren't kissing the ass of every player.

We have holes in our defense. We have things we have to fix. If you're ok with busts in coverage, giving up homerun type runs, then just say it. It's ok to give up 14 points and still find things to work on. You don't have to cry and take some hands off approach with it all and try to make the rest of us look crazy.

We played well, but will play better teams, go through a rough gauntlet, and need to co tinue to work on things. It's ok to say that.

I don't have a position because I never made any efforts to state my position, because it's not necessary at all. I don't need to do that. I choose not to go back and forth with people who can't seem to find anything positive in anything what Bama did on the field. It's always something negative associated with that. That's what I'm seeing and It's quite disturbing.

No teams are perfect. Texas A and M wasn't perfect this past weekend. Georgia wasn't perfect. Miami wasn't perfect. First half wasn't great yesterday, but the fact how they made adjustments after the first two drive in 2nd half impressed me the most. It spoke a lot about the team's resilience and how focused they were. It's that situation that they can lend on for experience going forward. We will not have a perfect team. Someone is always going to miss tackles. Someone is going to have assignment bust. Someone is always going to miss a hole. Someone is always going to drop a pass. Someone is always going to miss a read on throw. Someone is always going to miss a blitz.

Bottom line: the team is much better mentally and emotionally compared where they were against FSU. You can see them making progress little by little week in and week out. That's all we can ask for from this team, making progress each week. Bama can shut out Mizz this weekend and there will always something to complain about. DUDE just be happy with the win. Just enjoy the damn win. Saban's team wasn't perfect either and they found ways to win.

 

[Justneedme81]

Yeah, we left 3 points on the table.

IMO, we left 17 points.
