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

[Special K]

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

And that’s where we’re headed - or worse. Next week is an almost certain loss, and Missouri, OU, and maybe even Auburn are probably close to tossups based on the tape so far. Pitiful really. Running the Lambo into the ditch.

Malachi might be first round.

I don't think so. This defense makes him look bad. Also, Sabb is better and more NFL ready, so he is not even the best safety on this team

 

[bamacpa]

Malachi might be first round.

How ? He makes no impact plays.

 

[colbysullivan]

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

A 2 point lead means nothing when your opponent is getting 7-8 minute drives.

Malachi might be first round.

Don't think so. Don't think he is a 2nd rounder either. He is worse than Branch

 

[Krymsonman]

I believe the rule would not be a safety because his momentum carried him into the endzone. However, I do not expect the refs to see it that way.

Me either, and I'm pretty sure Jackson wasn't sure what they would call either, so he eventually ran it out. Can a rules expert explain what the call should be. He did catch it outside the endzone, and his momentum carried him in. Could he down it there?

The only difference between this week and last is a W vs an L. No improvement.
From CKD down seem lost and unprepared.

Does not matter - you don't chase points that early. You take any free points that you can get.

 

[Krymsonman]

It’s a small miracle we pulled that out. DeBoer better do some soul searching and fast or he’s not going to be an Alabama resident for very long. And to see him smiling in the postgame like that turns my stomach.

Looks like he just doesn't understand the SEC yet. But hey, he's set for life so why worry. He needs to focus on getting this team better prepared.

 

[colbysullivan]

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

There is no scenario where Bama makes the playoffs at 9-3.

How did they regress so quickly

It would be up to the refs to decide either momentum has carried him in or he walked into the endzone by himself. It would have been a close call that could go either way

 

[Ledsteplin]

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.

They lost to LSU by 3 points. Their other loss was Ole Miss.

It was dumb to return it. This team does dumb things a lot. Call me an Eeyore, but they do.

Agreed

I saw absolutely nothing today that gives me hope for the rest of the season.

 

[mlh]

Buckle your seatbelts, Bama fans. I think we have 5 more games like this one.

RTR!

I love me some Hope, but right now, after the last two games, I'm now hoping BAMA will win. I used to expect us to win games like Vandy etc.

 

[Crimson Speed]

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

Going for 2 was the right decision. After scoring we were up by one point. Kicking an extra point would have put us up by 2 points and a field goal by them would have put them ahead if they kicked a field goal. Going for 2 would have us up by 3 points and a field goal by them would have only tied the game. So, going for 2 was the right choice.

 

[Krymsonman]

Did I hear Rammer Jammer in the broadcast?

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

yeah, we certainly didn't "beat the hell" out of anyone today.

 

[ua86]

It wouldn't shock me if we beat 10RC, then lost to LSU or the Barn.
