They are becoming pretty anemic on that side of the ball, looks like team film is catching up with them, defenses are starting to know exactly what they are trying to run.

Iron QB isnt the least bit impressive either....
The running game is pathetic...probably the loss of 3 starting Olineman doesnt help
And all 3 were X tiders...

I remember going to Bama vs VT for homecoming (Don Strock was their QB) and it was cold as hell with some drizzle. That might have been the worse conditions I have as a Bama fan.
I didn't even go this week. My wife has panic attacks with bad weather, so there was no chance of me making that trip. That goal line stand was pretty special but there are so many problems on offense right now.
The offensive line is just plain terrible and with all of the injuries its just going to get worse. Perez looked absolutely lost out there and he really seems like he's regressed on his deep throws. He had Patton open twice on go routes where he absolutely baptized the defensive backs but the passes were unbelievably underthrown. Richardson and Perkins were hit in the backfield on almost every carry. I've said before I think Richardson's vision has gotten a lot better, but honestly its hard to tell because of how often there isn't even a hint of a hole or crease to run through. It looked like Ross really might give them a boost with the way he was able to use his quickness to get to the outside, that may be the only chance they have at running the ball, but then he had the fumble that pretty much cost them the game.

Might be a good topic for off season @JoseyWalesTheOutlaw ...
Worse conditions ever to sit through...
Would be hard to beat...va tech at Nashville in music city....sub freezing and wind a zillion mph...
.or usm in Birmingham...when it rained ...what, 3-5 inches during game,...Coach Frans years..
Houston...i think....in BD on east side and 100+ degree late September...
I easily remember the most dangerous, 94, vs Ole Miss. Lightning cracking all over the place and TV and the SEC didn't have an idea when enough was enough. Sherman Williams and Bama players took turns fumbling the ball all over the place. Thank goodness the refs finally got it stopped and we went on to get the win.

Lightning hit a few working the game. Thank goodness coach Stallings and the Bama players weren't killed. My wife told me when it started I was about to do a solo.

I have a question... I sitting here watching the Iron play Orlando and with the O-line and wondering where Blake Sims is .....
Literally as I’m writing this post the iron bring in th 2nd sting QB and still no Sims it a guy named Keith price who played in CFL and Washington in college .
Is Blake a third string QB to these two guys ? Both seems to have such limited success in big time football as Blake . I know the CFL is semi pro but the rules are so different it just seems Blake would have a head start being at BAMA and is very mobile to help the line ....
Anyone have any insight ?

Sims out for season with injury (hamstring I think).
Sims is on IR but even before that he was the third string QB.

Ugly, Perez got pulled after throwing a pick 6 early in the game, Price(the backup qb) didn't play that bad 18 of 29 for 234 yards 1 TD, Orlando qb (Gabbert) picked our defense apart 23 of 35 for 286 yards and 2 TDs and they rushed for nearly 200 yards too (182).
