****Bama vs. Hogs Postgame Headache Thread****

[Nolan]

Perhaps most alarming to me is the total inability to run the ball between the tackles. No wait, it would be the fumbles. No wait, the dumb penalties. No wait....

Sometimes you just have to win in an UGLY fashion.

I don't think it could be uglier!

However, I will take it. It was so ugly that it was beautiful, but HEART stopping!

I feel like there is truth in this post, but I think they grew up a lot in the 4th quarter tonight. The team was facing down the barrel of a loaded .45 and took it to em. Defense came through time and time again. Champion caliber defense in the later half of the game. Offense has GOT to get it together and QUICK, we have a hungry A&M team next week!

Did anyone else see the leadership from Blake sims!? I think he's doing a good job. He didn't have a good game, but in those final few possessions he was in the lines face and calming them down. He dun good.

we could've easily rolled over and lost tonight. we didn't

I think it's a combination of them all..Bozeman grew up tonight & wil get better with more reps at C & as that happens our O-Line will gel around him..Until Kelly gets back anyways..

Honest question, did the lack of line play cause Blake's sub par performance? If so, is this injury related?If not, is he the answer? I'm still in his corner but he ain't makin it easy.


And as far as the return team...***?

I think we will have an opening on the staff at the end of the season.

Worst game I've seen Bama play since the Shula years.

But we won, and the Barn lost!

How quickly we forget the MSU and ULM games in '07. But, yes, this looks like we're literally starting the process all over. From scratch.

Sometimes I overlook the importance of Kirby. I was very down on the D the past 2 seasons but they won this game. We will see how they fair next week against a HUNH team.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Seems to me we are getting worse as the season goes on.

That was one of Coach Bryant's favorite sayings. He said that teams either improve through the season or they take steps backwards. So far, we're regressing...

Online is like a sieve....and whiff! Pitiful.

Oline being awful today was not Sims' fault.

Well, I'll bring it up again. Sims didn't (notice I didn't say can't) stretch the field at all today. I think LK lost confidence that he could and once a defense takes away AC, BS doesn't know where to turn.

 

[rylandtide]

Is Ryan Kelleys absence the reason for poor rushing or did ark d line just whip us?

 

[GrayTide]

I am not going to go into the details of this game cause all of you saw the same game I did. This was one of the most uninspired Alabama teams I have seen since the Dubose era. Fortunately for us we played a team that was absolutely pitiful, by far maybe the worst team in the SEC. We will lose to MSU and auburn, hopefully being at home we won't get embarrassed. I am not sure if we can beat TAMU or not but seeing how they have zero defense we could scrape by. As for UT and LSU, these games could go either way.

Call me sky is falling or whatever you want, but this is not a good team and right now we better hope we can finish 8-4.

Hats off to Jonathan Allen, JK Scott, Ryan Anderson and the defense as a whole!

Defenses have figured out his weaknesses.

UT 2009 redux - last time Tide had a game decided by a blocked kick. Kiffin was on the good guys' side this time, but sure didn't contribute much to the win that was tangible anyhow.

 

[gtowntide]

I really do think Arkansas is much improved, but we were our own worst enemy tonight. I'm not sure how many we'll win or lose but we have a lot of areas to work on. Glad to get out of town with the W. Roll Tide!

I think we will have an opening on the staff at the end of the season.

It would suit me right down to the ground if it's open before they get back to Tuscaloosa

 

[rgw]

Saban was letting us know back in January when he said something about treating it like starting all over in 2007 because that is the kind of team we've got.

 

[mulletover]

Saban did say we where going back to 2007. Nobody listened though.

However we went 50/50 on the road now we're taking this show back home. Roll Tide!

Hats off to Jonathan Allen, JK Scott, Ryan Anderson and the defense as a whole!

Amen to that!!
