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

Very well said. And we spent a large portion of the first half today trying to do the Jalen run show only to have it stuffed every time. Time to move on.

How many of those plays were called and how many of those were Milroe trying to play hero ball as usual?

We'll never know.....but I bet the majority were Milroe calling his own number.

Worst Alabama team in decades. Given the talented players on this team, I am left to wonder what 2025 will look like.

Unless major changes are made, it’ll look much like this year

As long as Milroe and LANK are exorcised....we should see improvement.

I have nothing to say about CKD’s job security. It’s year one and he walked into a mess of a situation.

But this team has underachieved more than any team I can remember. Frankly you have to go back to 2000 to get anything close to this.

Neither of fRAN’s teams underachieved. None of Shula’s teams really underachieved relative to the true talent levels they had. The 2010 team is always mentioned in these discussions but that team was so plagued by constant injuries to key players all year.

So we are left with the 2000 team, ranked #3 in the preseason and it imploded to a 3-8 finish. At 8-3, for the talent of this year’s team, we might as well be 3-8.

He requires too much time to throw.

And what about quick passes. I have Jalen actually complete those, (Georgia game), and have success, ie get the ball to the playmakers and let them make plays. Seems like that was mostly abandoned since then.

 

[colbysullivan]

Well, it's pretty obvious he isnt the answer at QB and hasnt been...........so I see that as calling it like it is

The problem is it’s not obvious to everyone. I mean, you still have people face palming me for simply pointing out Nilroe and his ilk are 99% of the problem.

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Apparently two different coaching staffs can't deal with the QB situation.

Kinda hard when the players pretty much have the power now to come and go as they please

 

[JDCrimson]

The apple cart did it to itself tonight. And sometimes you just have to let it happen.

He’s trying to not upset the apple cart.

But if, or when will that be? LANK is certainly not helping this team be better.

We have Sun Belt level coordinators.

 

[colbysullivan]

Case in point of why McLaughlin transferred to Ohio State.

How dare you sir! Do not presume Seth’s transfer had anything to do with Milroe.

Well, the door's open. Let him go.

 

[bamaga]

well on the bright side, it’s only 30 days until Christmas with Joy and good tidings to all!

This is disappointing for sure, but it really hasn't changed my opinion much of the future. We already knew QB play was going to be an obstacle to winning a national championship. I'd hoped to at least make it to the dance, but it didn't fall out way this time. We have arguably the best high school player in the country coming in with Keelon Russell, and a very good recruiting class coming with him. Last week, everyone was praising DeBoer and saying how great this coaching staff is, and now people are wanting to fire them all. But the thing is, DeBoer is still the same coach he was yesterday, and so are Wommack, Sheridan, and the rest. Nothing has really changed. Tonight, we saw the team done in by what many of us thought was the achilles heel of this team, and that's really all there is to it. DeBoer will right the ship. He just has some work to do in the off-season, but I still fully believe that Kalen DeBoer is the right man for this job.

JM really isn't good at the quick game. UGA was an exception to the rule. He just doesn't set quickly enough and does not have anticipation to do it; never has and it's the worst part of his game. Major liability.

This Alabama team could easily have lost to USCe and GA and be sitting at 6-5 right now. This is not a good football team. Just beat Auburn.

 

[Crimson Speed]

I won't watch another game as long as Milroe is the QB. Never would have fathomed a player with such glaring deficiencies could put a strangehold on one of the most storied programs in CFB. Just so utterly frustrating..

I'm with you. As much as I love Crimson Tide football, I will not watch them next season if Milroe is the QB. Enough is enough. I have been saying all season that Milroe can't see the field. I just hope he is attractive enough for the NFL to draft him, maybe as a running back.

 

[Nolan]

Post game interview not great, blamed lights a few times, and seems to be blind at qb no criticism made

He’s not Brian Kelly. Not gonna talk about players like that. However, JM’s spot should be on the sideline next week.

 

[bamajas]

Everyone is blaming Milroe (mostly), but what is he supposed to do when half the opposing team is in his ear within 0.00571 seconds of snapping the ball? Where's the offensive line? Do we even have one?

That's the biggest thing that needs to be corrected.

pass rush didn’t become a costly issue until we were forced to throw because of the score. They run-blocked well for the RBs.

Neither 3rd Qtr pick had anything to do with pressure. Both times, the DBs knew it was coming and made the play. When your offense is limited the types of plays it can run and your QB runs plays instead of making reads, a well-coached D can prey on it

and even if the OL gets beat, good QBs figure it out. That’s why you sign up to be QB1. And somehow he’s a mobile QB who doesn’t make Ds pay for over pursuing…

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

We have Sun Belt level coordinators.

May have different ones next year..........Shame Grubb didnt hang around
