Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread, Bama vs. USCe...

[Coach D]

Going for 2 almost cost us, I never like going for 2 unless I have to

bama had to in order to go up 3. The extra point didn’t matter at that time.

Did I hear Rammer Jammer in the broadcast?

I know I probably did, but I kinda hate playing it after games like this...

 

[smokies1]

Can someone explain how that is our “hands” team that is fielding that onside kick?

Just add it to the pile

 

[RammerJammer14]

DeBoer sounds like he is in over his head in interview and that he just doesn’t get it. If we don’t see a DC change or some kind of big change this week then it could be a bad stretch for Bama until he is gone.

The DC is not going to be fired by next week, or even this season. At most, it will be after the season is over.

Square not holding back frustration in post game, he and Tyler know

That win was so bad I don’t know what to think except the DC Coordinator needs to go or CKD needs to have a “come to Jesus” meeting with him.

He’s gotta go! If he didn’t have that meeting, after the Vandy game, then he needs to go too!

 

[Krymsonman]

It was an ugly nasty win. But a win.

Yes. Escaping with a win is much better than leaving with a loss.

 

[B1GTide]

Good to win especially with this team as it in now. I said at beginning of season we will lose in Knoxville and I have seen nothing that changes my mind, however I suspect the rest of the season following that to win games much like we saw today. Exception may be at LSU or Oklahoma. If we are 9-3 we are in the playoff conversation if we drop all three we are 8-4 sitting in a bowl game.

I realize our defense is young but they made the stops needed in the second half. It isn’t pretty but it is a win

This team is not in the playoff at 9-3.

It was the right call, even though we didn’t make it. You never kick the PAT when you’re up by 1 point, unless it’s like 7-6 or something.

Not how you play the game. With 11 minutes to go, you do not chase points.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Yes. Escaping with a win is much better than leaving with a loss.

technically staying with a loss

 

[some_al_fan]

Do we really have as much talent as some people think we have?
Milroe might be our only 1st rounder in 2025 draft (Booker is probably high 2nd) and defense doesn't look like it has any 1st rounders in the near future.

 

[Ledsteplin]

I sure hope we looked ahead, and practiced for Tennessee.

 

[guntertidefan]

I don't understand why Bernard scored. If he runs out of bounds or gets down, can't we take a knee 3 times and its ball game?

 

[rtr90]

You know, I thought we would probably lose 2-3 games this season, with a chance at a playoff spot. Expected us to be good going forward, but maybe a slow decline. Never in a million years did I think we would be in danger of losing to all of the worst teams in the conference.

This is our conference. We own it. But judging by how the coaching staff is treating this season so far, I don’t think they get it. I can’t believe DeBoer was smiling at the end of that. We are in serious danger of turning over the SEC to teams like Texas.

it rubs off on team

Malachi might be first round.

Yes - more bad coaching

 

[bamacpa]

The decision to run one more play in 2Q was horrendously bad, even worse than trying to throw from our 12 after a stupid penalty, and would have cost us the game if South Carolina were reasonably competent.

I am still happy with CKD, but the Georgia win was the worst thing to happen to our fanbase and our team. We had/have delusions of grandeur but just gonna struggle through this transition. We need to be honest about that. I just don't ever see our defense knocking someone back, we get drug making tackles.

But the back your players going for points near the half was just stupid.

I would still be afraid of a bad snap or something.

 

[LeBron47]

I realize we may not deserve to be in however 9-3 and in the top ten will get us in the conversation…if I didn’t say that I meant too. But there will be few undefeated teams some with 2 or three losses
