I think he's pretty close on his predicted score. I don't disrespect A&M and I realize our defense was way off last week, but I don't think 1 bad week makes a trend. We'll see.
... redstar, well putDid you read the entire article, even the What Will Happen paragraph?
He makes an outlandish statement about us being exposed against LSU and being overrated, and follows it up with ....whatever. He then proceeds to explain why we aren't overrated and that last week was an aberration. Then he picks up to blow A&M out.
The real beauty of the LSU win, was that even though we got a win, Saban gets to keep telling the players "I told you so" about any feelings they may have had about being invincible. We all know the drill about LSU having an extra week to gameplan and more importantly, get rest and heal bumps and bruises. We played poorly, yet still were good enough to defeat the #5 team on their turf at night. That is what the smart coaches saw last Saturday night. Only the jealous & the haters are putting out the spin of "Bama showed weakness and vulnerability".Everyone seems to think Bama was exposed. What was exposed was simply AJ being way inaccurate for the first time this year (maybe a sore shoulder from the drop he took last game?). All those 3-and-outs kept the defense on the field against a great offensive gameplan. If AJ can hit his throws this game, everything will be back to normal.
"You can look at the Alabama comeback win over LSU in a few ways. Either the Tide showed it could find something deep when everything was going wrong, proving it could handle adversity, or else the team became vulnerable. LSU was able to throw the ball around the yard better than anyone has against a Nick Saban defense in two years, the lines were more physical, and there but for the grace of a few questionable coaching decisions by Les Miles there would have been a massive shake up at the top of the polls"... redstar, well put
... figured you would end up having to quote the text for those who won't read it for themselves :wink:
... this CFN article might be more palatable for the previous posters that were offended by the article in the original link
I don't see anything inaccurate or disrespectful in either of those quotes. And the writer followed "overblown and overrated" with "...whatever" meaning there were people saying those things but the writer doesn't believe them. There are articles/writers out there that like to take shots at Alabama, but I don't think this was one of them at all..."You can look at the Alabama comeback win over LSU in a few ways.

"A&M won’t blast the Tide off the ball like LSU did, but the offensive front is still one of the strongest in the country and should be able to hold its own against the phenomenal defensive front."
My friend I read the article thank you. Maybe you should too. By the way...I quoted these points so you might can see that the writer was downing Bama. The only sarcastic remark I interpreted was above, when he wrote "Phenomenal defensive front".
In other words he was saying "If Bama's so phenomenal and not over rated then how did an inferior LSU O-line blow them off the ball"
He called our defense "Overblown and over rated". In other words over hyped as a defense.
No disrespect intended but if you're going to insult another poster maybe you need to get your facts straight.
That writer was NOT being sarcastic he was putting Bama down much like Skip Bayless does.
How in the world did I insult you?No disrespect intended but if you're going to insult another poster maybe you need to get your facts straight.
OK, there are 2 words that probably should be banned: Skipless Bayless. (We are glad to be rid of him.)That writer was NOT being sarcastic he was putting Bama down much like Skip Bayless does.
