This is absolutely true. One bad roughing call and the repeat numbers on the field changed this game. That said, it wasn’t the difference. This defense was hot dog excrement. Undisciplined, lack of effort and focus, etc. Can’t even tell you the last time I saw a Bama D play that poorly.The last two times we went into Tennessee as the #1 team, the officials affected the outcome...
Well said. It may feel like the sky is falling right now, but it's not. It's a bad look for the time being, but if we learn from it and play like we're capable of for the rest of the year, then it can become meaningless.
Our defense was dissappointing for sure, but I saw many missed calls that would have made a difference.
Have you looked at DeBoer's actual results? Not the just the record, but the scores. His team's usually play close games, that's what they do. I think part of it is just the hand he was usually dealt, with talent somewhat lacking but basically his games tend to be close. He can beat anyone, but he can lose to anyone as well.
The ability to finish teams off just isn't there. Last year with Washington it was almost all close games, always on the brink. Amazing ability to win mind you, but that does put you in a situation where one bad play and you might lose. I'm not sure he has any other gears than to try to get into shootouts. Obviously that needs to change, and I don't think it's just the OC because it's how Washington operated as well.
They lost to Ga. State !
It depends on how the team responds. However, I’m afraid the defense is fundamentally broken.
Alabama is NOT Washington. I don’t care what CKD has done at his other stops. Bama does not lose to freaking Vanderbilt.
If he can lose to anyone, he needs to go. Let's see. Coaching lost this game, pure and simple, but I put it more on the DC than the HC.
Tell us how you really feel.
