So who's to blame then? Can't blame coaches who don't seem able to get players ready. Can't blame players. Who can we blame? Refs? Commentators? Are we not allowed to criticize anyone for this debacle?

Try to be measured in what you say. Sure, there's blame to go around but LSU played a good game, LSU coached a good game, and both Alabama players and coaches made crucial mistakes. You can't just hang someone out to dry by themselves though because it's not all on anyone's shoulders.

Bashing of players or coaches is not allowed on this forum. If you feel the need to lash out and bash go somewhere else to do it. Here, we pride ourselves on tempered and reasoned and respectful dialogue. Anyone who can't hold themselves to that minimally high standard is welcomed to make up their mind about whether you want to be associated with a site that has standards.

I edited the post to temper my thoughts. But dude, I've been around for a while. I don't post often, but seriously.

And this is why I'd rather be here than on my forum. So please know - what you already know - that this is the single most important aspect to maintain on your/our forum.

And thank you for your dedication and sacrifice - it's greatly appreciated by all!

In case anyone needs to read the site policies you agreed to when you registered:
https://www.tidefans.com/forums/faq.php?faq=faq_policies#faq_faq_policies_purpose

We are not saying players/coaches can’t be criticized. We are saying harsh and improper criticism isn’t going to be allowed. TIDE-HSV has given some examples.

huge difference in saying, “John Boy Brown sure does need to work on catching the ball this week in practice” And “John Boy sucks! He may be the worst receiver in the history of football”

The team wins and the team loses simple as that. No need to call out any particular player or coach. You have to accept the fact that LSU was the better team yesterday, from top to bottom. Sure we dug ourselves into an early hole, but that is football, it happens. Lots of posters want to blame the officials, that is the oldest dodge in the history of sports. We lost, we cannot change the outcome, it is time to move on. Seems like I type this every year.

Since 2009 was Saban's only no-loss year, you probably have... :D
