The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly…. Commodore style:

[BamaNation]

Nothing in presser that makes me feel any better.

 

[TideEngineer08]

"key is to turn frustration into positives moving forward" (about Malachi Moore being upset at end)

"own it as a team and get better"

DeBoer is very calm and kinda sounds like a pre-game presser rather than a presser where #1 Alabama was just destroyed up front by VANDERBILT

He’s got a lot to learn. Just from the perspective of where he’s coaching now. It is what it is.

There was a whole lot of denial in that presser. 3rd and manageable? 3rd and long almost every time.

Hey coach - we watched the game.

 

[bamatex82]

Good-offense played well enough to win, but could have been better. B+

Bad-the refs

UGLY-the defense. Couldn't stop a nose bleed. To get pushed around by Vandy and not look like a fluke? F‐
Also, the loss has ruined the rest of my day trying to enjoy some other games, cuz they are going to talk about our loss all day long

 

[WMack4Bama]

Good: There is a 12 team playoff and we still have a shot to be competitive.
Bad: Our offensive play caller's inability to use our RBs
Ugly: Front 7 can't stop running water. Back end can't cover grass. Everything from scheme to basic tackling leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[CrimsonJazz]

The good: very little

The bad: a whole lot

The ugly: my language and temper. I stayed off the game thread for this reason. Hell, I didn’t trust myself on the complaint thread. I was sick but I didn’t want a suspension.

 

[Krymsonman]

Good - we managed to score 35 points
Bad - Defensive effort
Ugly - Defensive effort when we still had a chance to win the game. I think that was the worst effort by the defense for the entire game.

 

[teamplayer]

Good- From a Vandy perspective, they whipped us on the line, and Pavia is a baller.
Bad- From a Bama perspective, we got whipped by Vandy and acted arrogantly while doing so.
Ugly- Our guys seemed to practice new endzone dances this week, but they didn't seem to realize how idiotic they looked dancing while Vandy was whipping their tails.

 

[SkullDuckery]

My biggest issue is it seems the defense quit in the 4th quarter. I’ve seen more heart out of a Shula team than this. Also our lack of composure and character, some senior guys showing their tails and that’s a major issue because that’s our leaders.

 

[BamaNation]

Nothing in presser that makes me feel any better.

Based on the tone, I almost expected him to say something like "geez it's just a game".

The unacceptableness of this loss cannot be overstated.

I would agree with you, but they appeared to quit before the first snap, not in the 4th. By the 4th they were just exhausted because of their poor play the rest of the game.

Yes, this was a loss of historic proportion. Fortunately, it's only one loss. We'll see if they learn from it.

 

[CoolBreeze]

Nothing good in a loss like this. Bad is the way I am feeling after witnessing one of the ugliest played games I have seen in a while.

 

[SkullDuckery]

Nothing in presser that makes me feel any better.

There is nothing anyone can say to make anyone feel better about this.

having to round up players after getting our tails whipped.

Guys this maybe the longest season since Ears was here this is definitely low tide for the program. It’s not that we lost it is how we lost

 

[CoolBreeze]

We lost to a spunky ULM team in Nick's inaugural season. There is a mentality that has to be established and this is a young team still learning the ropes.

 

[bamacpa]

Ugly - Moore's behavior. It was embarrassing. He needs some bench time for that crap.

 

[colbysullivan]

Saban lost to UAB and ULM with the #1 team in the country? I had no idea!

When did we lose to UAB?

 

[UKTideFan1961]

Good: we still have #2, for at least the rest of the year

Bad: we seem to forget we have #2

Ugly: we played as if we either thought Vandy was a HS team or we prepared as if they were one. We played with no urgency at any point.

I'm not a fan of planned QB runs, but why do that last week and completely ignore it this week? How do you get outclassed by a guy at Vandy?
