He gifted OU two TD's.

He did, for sure. But our O and D lines were also getting manhandled too. And several receivers dropped key balls they should have caught. There definitely was some blame to go around.

I think it's silly to be calling for CKD's resignation one season in. Anyone who thought we would see no downtick in performance was deluded and probably spoiled. There are definite problems, clearly, but. let's give the man some time. There's no excuse for the poor performance we've seen, but it's completely irrational to think there is anyone else that we would be able to plug in who would be able to immediately right the ship, even if their name rhymed with Tick Playpen. Remember that the specters of these same problems were going on last year too.

I expected to lose about 3 games. The problem is which 3 games we lost, and how completely unprepared and incompetent we looked in losing them. We broke streaks and stats for things that haven’t been a problem in this program since before cell phones became ubiquitous. Since before the great TF server meltdown.

Tua outplayed hurts from day 1. All summer all I heard from practice was that Tua would be the starter by November because he was way better than Jalen. Never happened until it absolutely had to. The best qb isn't always on the field at Bama and I've never understood it. Even going back to the zow/watts days.

Saban shouldn't have been so loyal to Hurts.............shame of it all is I would take Hurts over Milroe right this moment

 

[Cruloc]

Jalen Milroe coming back would set our program back another four years. It’s absolutely unthinkable.

If he comes back it sure would free up my weekends during football season....cause I'm not watching the disaster anymore.

 

[REBELZED]

You have said over and over that Milroe wasnt a QB.................you are a prophet

Honestly, it doesn't take a prophet to see. I think Milroe is a great kid and wants to do well but he just does not have the requisite skills to be a successful QB at this level:

• Terrible mechanics (even on the throws he does make)
• Can't read a defense
• Unable to see the field (open/covered receivers)
• Zero anticipation
• Subpar accuracy
• Poor decision making (both pass and run)
• Lack of leadership skills when the chips are down

And on and on. I really hope he is successful in life, but I hope it is elsewhere before next season...

You're absolutely right. The performance has been going down for awhile.

Caleb Downs scored more points today than the Bama offense did.

 

[Krymsonman]

Well, this season is done. No playoffs unless some time of miracle like the earth reversing it's rotation happens.
We're now preparing for next year. Ty Simpson should start next week against the Barn. He's the QB of the future. Jalen's had his shot and didn't get it done. It's time to move on from LANK and look to the future.

 

[LeBron47]

Yeah I know, don’t get it at all

This type of thinking is why he isn’t the man for the job. Hey Just so,you know I predicted a 8-4 or 10-2 season. Prior to the season I thought sure losses were UGA and UT… never saw Vandy nor did I think after the season unfolding that Okie would be a loss.

Now we are on the cusp of losing to Aubie if Milroe plays and nothing makes me think CKD is going to make the change. So we will wind up 8-5 after bowl loss. This is where Byrne should sit KD down and explain the facts of life to him and that is JM is not the answer and let him know every loss from here on out with JM under center is a nail in his coffin. Either way this season is a bust and probably next year too.

I can't argue with that. It's true. All I am saying is that one season isn't enough to judge the final product.

No, but he caught alot of heat for saying Milroe wasnt the answer and people finally had to admit it

 

[Krymsonman]

He’s trying to not upset the apple cart.

The apple cart is already splattered all over the street. It's already upset.

 

[jthomas666]

Auburn wins. Amazing what happens if you actually give a damn.

 

[cthorne22]

auburn just won... what a sucky night

 

[AlexanderFan]

The apple cart is already splattered all over the street. It's already upset.

It can be worse.

 

[Bamabuzzard]

And Auburn just won...

 

[merino]

Ponder this: did DeBoer throw those 2 back-breaking interceptions when it was obvious that the defender was a foot away? Any decent QB would have looked at another receiver.

The coaches deserve some reproach, as do the refs, but this loss is squarely on the QB

Remember when they had to disable add on functions to avoid problems during game threads, good times .

I agree. I’m just frustrated and benefit of the doubt is almost gone. If we see the same next season, I’m done with him.
