Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. USF...

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

I've been on the Roydell train for a while. Glad he seems to be the guy at RB now.

Idk why Buchner was QB2. He's clearly the worst of the 3

Who else has been in ? The freshman RB might need some touches

 

[colbysullivan]

The Rumor is that Milroe didn't handle something well off the field and/or he was done with the team if he got benched.

But those are both very much rumors. No idea if there is any truth to either

I mean honestly, who cares at this point? He lost the Texas game.

 

[BamaHoops]

Guys - we're witnessing the beginning of the end. This is the most unprepared and unmotivated team we've put on the field since CNS first year. But the talent we put on the field today is 4x his first year squad.

Seriously - we must have been really desperate to give a scholly to Buchner. Slow to process, slow feet, weak arm. A total fraud. Tommy Rees and Kevin Steele were desperate hires - third choice at best.

It was a great ride - but be realistic. The best days of CNS era are over.

If that's the case (IF) then he needs to hit the portal.
I hope it's not the case because on the surface he seems to be a man of better character than that.

I think Steele was a great hire. Even in the Texas game, the defense played well, but I think they got tired because they were on the field so much. The offense couldn't sustain drives,.and that does affect the defense.

No - he played bad against TX - I agree. But lost the game ? Not close. The team made 10 penalties - including two that took away TD passes Milroe threw.

I mean…*I’m considering what you said*….nah. We’re not there yet. Steele has done really well honestly. Rees was a total bust and Saban trusted him with Buchner, and was clearly wrong. It doesn’t matter anyway since Ty is the guy now.

 

[NationalTitles18]

Agreed. It's not about 40 yd runs as a qb. Or even throwing a 60 yd bomb for a td. It is making the routine plays that will put you in a position to win. I'm just not sure Milroe can do that. And we have a way bigger sample size on milroe not making the routine plays than most people admit.

This.

Simpson was able to move the offense and keep the defense more off balance. He will be a work in process, but at least he can see and hit a wide open man 10 yards down the field.

 

[Tenntiderman]

Well.....we don't have a qb. That is clear. Offensive line didn't play well but Simpson really doesn't feel pressure at all and wasn't seeing the field.

That's the worst I've ever seen our offense look.....and against a really really bad team.

There will be better days. Team can only get better on offense.

Defense was great.....but I mean, thats a team that is sooooo limited at wr and qb that it's hard to take much from it.

Simpson is a QB. He got blasted how many times today? He can't see the field laying on his back. Hard to believe this OL. It is what it is. We got em where we want em now! Every team Bama has left is thinking about a Pachyderm feast now. Bama just has to go back to work. A wounded elephant is not a preferred adversary. Here is to hoping that every kid in that locker room realizes what it will take to win whether in conference or out. Also wonder what the coaching staff is thinking right now.

 

[Tidewater]

It wasn't pretty but one thing everyone wanted to see was no turnovers by the offense.

I think Ty was coached, "if you might throw a pick, take the sack. Under no circumstances will you put the ball at risk."
Play-calling needs to help the QBs out a bit. Quick slants occasionally or screens.

Well, Coach Saban is 71 so you will be correct eventually.

 

[tidefan39817]

No argument from me. If he's 5star give him the reps and he needs to learn.

I dont care if he was a 5 star or two star. This reminds me to much of watts/zow. I will say though i am getting seriously triggered by the oline and having "pancake posse" flashbacks.

 

[BamaHoops]

Maybe good - not great. We have the talent to have an elite D. Yet we don't.

Yes, he lost the game with the 2 worst INT’s a Saban QB has ever thrown. He missed wide open throws. Roydell should have had a TD on a wheel route. The OL did him no favors, but Milroe is responsible for the loss, period.

 

[Tide&True]

I think Ty has a huge upside. He just needs time to play week after week.

 

[BamaHoops]

Correct this year. I'm Saban's age. The fire is gone. I know it when I see it.

 

[smokies1]

Y’all processing the win, while I’m still over here processing the Rees hire

 

[tidefan39817]

Yeah, I'm curious about Milroe.

Buchner played his way out.

That is not the first time i have heard that about milroe.

Nothing is ever as bad as it seems, or as good as it seems. I'm not ready to throw in the towel on the Saban dynasty.

 

[NationalTitles18]

With Simpson in the game the offense appeared more orderly and he appeared in control. He has the "intangibles".
