With a team with this much talent and missing a 12 team playoff, I would say it is a disappointing season. If Milroe trots out there for our bowl game and plays the majority of the game, it will make it even more disappointing. It's past time to get some other players some game time experience, especially at QB.
They're likely not concerned about your disappointment. They played hard, and won 9 games. Not bad, all things considered.

They probably played hard every game, but playing hard and preparing/ practicing hard are two separate things. I believe many on the team have already forgotten the sacrifice it takes to be the very best.

Michigan has the blueprint on how to stop Milroe; it's a matter of will they still have enough players on defense not opting out to effectively run their defense. We have been able to just out athlete some teams. Will we be able to do it again against Michigan?
I think so.............they have had some time to work the problem, so there may be some wrinkles there

I can see them coming out of the tunnel now ....... 🙃



I hope they are mad and not ashamed!
Disappointed doesn’t mean they come out ashamed. I agree I hope they come out mad from the disappointment of not making the 12 team playoff. Alabama plays for championships and if that locker room is all happy and proud of the season and going to the reliaquest bowl then we have problems. So yes I hope they take their disappointments out on Michigan and carry that into next year so they don’t find themselves missing out again. I’d much rather that than them being happy and think this will be acceptable again next year. That goes for the staff also. Which I’m still optimistic about.

No, they did not PLAY HARD every game. When the QB runs south, southeast, southwest and dives 5 yards short swatting at air in the direction of the runner who just intercepted you I’d call that SOFT. Sadly that sorta display negatively affected the effort of others.

When you put the uniform on and step out on the field between the sidelines, you’re one play away from a catastrophic injury. Do I think there were issues with this team? Yes. Playing soft? Have you played the game at that level? I hope Milroe moves on if nothing else to calm the discord of the Alabama fans. This constant bashing of a player doesn’t help the greater good of the program. Kids that are potential Alabama players actually look at these boards during the recruiting process. Ask me how I know? I’ll tell you because a close relative signed with Alabama and almost didn’t because of the vitriol that was spewed on this site against the coach. This page used to prohibit this activity but now have mods that pile on. Everyone needs to take a step back and hope the school we love and the sports we love, can actually regain the level we had in the past.

1- No I didn’t play football at the college level. I wasn’t big or talented enough for that. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love the game.
2- It’s not bashing if it’s true. JM avoids contact at times to the point of negative results. It’s obvious to many of us that it negatively affects some teammates. I’m definitely not the only one who has stated such.
3- I made Zero statements about the coach. I’ve defended the man against others calling for his dismissal.
4- The Mod’s don’t “Pile On”. They do participate and allow discussion and have issued multiple warnings, deleted posts and pretty sure they’ve issued suspensions.

Well, if this team was Arkansas, yeah. But Alabama?
If Arkansas was 9-3 against our schedule that would be a good result for them, other than the Vandy thing. For them, that's be worth celebrating.

We have a different standard. 9-3, especially with 2 of the 3 loses being complete disasters, doesn't meet our standard at all.
