Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama @ Vandy...

I wish some would quit blaming the ref's, this game probably was lost on two plays , the same numbers on the punt after we made a rare stop on 3rd down, and the forced interception which lead to 13 points, it's a different ballgame if these plays don't happen

This game was lost up front on both sides of the ball. Def didn't see much dominating your opponent at the los.

I am still trying to understand what just happened and why i am just “meh” about the whole thing.

Mercenaries do that to you.

That's because they were preparing for Bama.

oh stop with that nonsense. not every team thinks like the barn

Bama in playing Vandy today was essentially playing the same New Mexico State team that beat Auburn last year.

Did they punt one time tonight?

I prefer losing early in the season than late. Still a lot of football left to play and a lot to play for.

I’m glad there aren’t many good option teams out there, but it doesn’t look good on the résum.

Hope we don't have to play one of the academies in a bowl game.

All the newcomers into the SEC have to learn however long it takes them, that defense is what you build your program and gameplan on for long-term success.

Jalen played really great, except for two plays. Those two plays were costly, but even so, we should never have been in a position to lose to Vandy in the first place. This defense is worse than the Golding years. How in the world did we beat UGA?

Don't forget the penalty for throwing the ball once he was beyond the line of scrimmage. That negated a long pass for a first down. He has to stop doing that.

Irony.

Vandy is not a bad football team when properly motivated and prepared. That's coaching.

They lost to Ga. State !

Bama just lost to Vandy let that sink in

I felt the same "meh" after CNS retired. I knew it was going to be much different. Not getting beat by Vandy different, but a lot of disappointments are coming kind of way.
O well.

I'm afraid we'll get to do a bit of both

When you hire Indiana coordinators you might get Indiana football.

Alabama really needs to just put Pruitt on the payroll so they can stash him somewhere until he can be an on-fiend coach again. In the mean time may he could give them pointers to you know, not do this.

Indiana is 6-0. They haven't played a particularly hard schedule, but they didn't lose to any of the 3 cupcakes they played in that stretch. Vandy maynot be a cupcake but they aren't much better.

I know DeBoer is big on playing music during practice. Might be appropriate to play the theme music from “The Keystone Cops” when the defense is on the practice field.

 

[AussieTy]

The defense was the sole reason for this loss its simple.

What was it? A 20 min difference in TOP? You don't win football games with that.

Now it was a bad matchup for Wommack's defense but that was just unacceptable. No form of adjustments whatsoever. Just totally outplayed.

The offense did their job. 35 points and they were hardly on the field.

 

[Cruiser]

A pick 6, a fumble and another penalty for passing the ball when he was beyond the line. Which negated a first down. Take those three away and we most likely win even with the defense stinking it up.

"If we play them nine more times we. win all nine"

 

[JDCrimson]

What i hate is that Saban will take a lot of heat for this loss because he is in the media yet still close the program. Its not fair for him to have to explain this loss or take up for the team.

And to make matters worse, CKD will have to face Saban on this too. Even if its insight on fixing the defense.

This is a moment where CKD will earn his pay. Should not have let this happen in the first place.

Didn't get to see the game...what did Malachi do?

Is Milroe still in line for the Heismann?
