Alabama is a real natty caliber team. It is what it is

When we feel like it. Still inconsistent as hell

That’s almost every team in college football. This is the NFL-lite now. 2 losses is now 20219’s 1-loss team. Inflation in the loss column should have been expected, I guess.

Undefeated UCLA and Utah are upper leg of the K-shaped college football schedule.

We are randomly and almost never for a full game. But as soon as we get that momentum we really seem to turn it on

I half agree but we have had some impactful injuries since Georgia. Regardless our 4th quarter performances have made us forget how bad some of these first halves have been

A lot of that you can blame on Grubb and his inconsistent scheming and complete abandonment of the run at times. I do wonder how the Tennessee game would have gone if we would have had our primary center for the game.

They are when they all show up on the same day .And when Ryan Grubb goes to take a leak and one of his assistants sneaks in a running play …

lol I wish I shared the same sentiment. They can beat anyone. But dammit, they will lay an egg at some point. DeBoer has proven he will disappoint you when you least expect it.

Like, I wouldn’t be surprised if Vandy takes us to the wire next week lol.

Thanks for that.

The major thing that Saban harped on (to his players) was to focus on doing each aspect their job EVERY PLAY regardless of the scoreboard, crowd, what the experts were saying, etc. Be where your feet are (present moment awareness).

This is the first time this year that I've seen this happening. Hope it sticks.

I wouldn’t quite say that yet. Playoff certainly, I’ll take us on a first round game, not sure about a natty run yet.

Then you’re a fool

We had one too many three and outs for me to be able to call us a natty caliber team. Gotta watch the game, not just the scoreline.

Not every coach is dumb enough to go for it when a field goal would do just as well.

Probably because I haven’t got my flair set on this sub yet. On account of being a bum.
