That goofy pick 6 off Najees back and the holding call on the first drive....and...and....just so many dumb self inflicted wounds...so undisciplined...its hard to believe how undisciplined.

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Get outta here with that nonsense.

True...... at least it isn’t the years prior to 2007....... just hate to see a team this talented lose that way

I'm a Project Manager for the University. I spent two weeks saying the only way Auburn could score enough is if we don't contain the QB and we proceed to do it.


I say we switch jobs because Golding is a damn air thief.

I'm Roll Tide forever, but this was just sad, and I've never a Nick Saban coached team have that kind of penalty at such a crucial time of the game. And to think, that gift FG right before the half was the difference in the game. I know we can't kick, but how did that guy make every FG he tried. I hate losing to these turds. It's is one of the worst things that can happen.

Manzeils Aggies says hello! (2012 offside on punt)

Hurts. Fitting that it ended the way it did. We’ve been horrible in the kicking game since Riechard went out. Gave them 17 gift points which we have done all year.

And stupid penalties that put us behind the sticks on offense and inability to get off the field on 3rd down.

A lot of soul searching needed by this coaching staff. Our players simply don’t play smart.

Odd there is still this many mistakes this late in the season

Injuries killed our year

Mac played well. He shot the pooch on that endzone interception. Neiuhesiel is a jerk. Of course he is a west coast homey. You would think Darth Vader had been slain.

 

[Krymsonman]

With the talent at the discretion of the defensive coaching staff and they give up that many points to a HORRIBLE offense you decide what to think. I’ll be damn if I ever watch us try to kick a field goal. Officiating was complete horse crap.

Well, I made myself watch the kick, and at first I thought it was good...until the doink. It seems like it doesn't really matter who we are playing, we always get hosed by the officials.

It's easy to blame injuries and the refs. And you could be correct in that this team would have won if not for the refs and injuries.

That's not what kept this team from being championship caliber though. No way this team was going to win the playoff playing like that. I'd have loved for Alabama to get a shot, but may be it's better long term that Alabama has a chance to work on fixing what's wrong, because there's a surprising amount of things that are wrong with this team. It was a waste of talent.

We can start by coaching that talent instead of crossing our arms.

 

[MikeD]

Why do we always play dumb and scared when we play down there?

This? I brought this up before and got blasted but whatever Saban does to prepare for this game does not work

 

[Go Bama]

I'm all for firing every coach on the defensive side of the ball. Our defense was a sieve against a sorry excuse for an offense. The refs were as bad as I've ever seen but this loss is on the defensive staff.

 

[braggtd]

You know, these things will get you beat:

13 penalties - how many took possession away from us, including that last one???

Throw 2 pick 6s and one was a 14 point swing: that's a 21 point swing

Let's please be bigger than blaming this on the refs. We flat out got ourselves beat.

This 100%, refs suck but we got beat. Great teams don't have to worry about ref mistakes. They dominate despite terrible refs!

The first thing that is wrong with this team is Golding. He needs to go and we need to throw as much money as it takes to pull Steele away from Auburn.

We had a lot of injuries in 2017 too.

 

[Con]

Anytime I don't think I can hate Auburn more than I already do, something proves me wrong. I cried in the floor at 15 years old in '97. I put a couple holes in some drywall during 2010, and since I was holding my sleeping three year old in '13, I calmly went and put him done before throwing up in the bathroom sink. But this....this makes you question existence itself.

Where can the rock bottom of nauseous hatred go against a football team and program? My soul can't afford to ask the question anymore.

Brotha, you might want to re-evaluate some things. We can’t win them all. I do appreciate your passion toward alabama football though.

We played one good team and one average team and lost to both of them. Strange year.

I've been wary of Golding from the start, this is his first time running a Power 5 defense and the results are not impressive. I get the injuries excuse. But from what I understand, he's been basically running the defense for over a season now. So he has such great games as Clemson, LSU and now Auburn on his resume. That isn't great.

Yeah it is not like Bama didn't make errors enough to lose 2 games.....but that time back on the clock turned up big didnt it??

But your super star QB wasn’t injured in 2017. What does this look like with Tua in it?
