Always a Bama Fan!
No more football for me this year. I’m too old
For this!

Dustin
What a game!

Edward

My head is killing me!

Eric
A&M may have squeaked it out, but they’re still a bunch of weirdos and we can still win the SEC.

Edward
That, we are in agreement with!

Sloan Bashinsky
Looked to me A&M proved Florida - Alabama game was harbinger. Yesterday, A&M looked like entirely different team from earlier 2021 games. Alabama looked really weird at times, brilliant at other times. Perhaps the loss got every Alabama player’s undivided lasting attention. If not, there are several SEC teams dying to join A&M, who didn’t look a bit weird to me, other than winning with a second string QB and pressuring and sacking Alabama’s QB and making Alabama’s defensive secondary look like high schoolers many times. And quite a few Alabama dropped passes and way off the mark Bryce Young passes, and the A&M quarterback got great protection. IF Alabama manages to win the rest of its SEC games, and IF it gets to the SEC playoff game, IF and IF, Georgia is looking really tough, so far. Meanwhile, the Alabama players need to do a fearless searching personal individual and team inventory, and the offensive line and defensive coaches need to do same. Alabama’s excellent place kicker definitely needs to stop kicking out of bounds and short and returnable.

Edward
Sloan Bashinsky, I’m in agreement with every bit of this.

Hattie
This is not a championship team this year.

Edward
Nope!

Hattie
We will lose 1 to 2 more games.

Edward
Probably so, but we have to remember, we are still the best!

Hattier
Georgia is hands down the top all around team so far this year. I was surprised at how shitty our offensive line played in the first half.

Edward
I’m shocked. We will meet Georgia in the playoffs, no doubt.

Hattie
Edward I doubt it. Auburn will be the shipwreck this year for Bama.

Sloan Bashinsky
Shipwreck was yesterday. Here on out will determine what this Tide team actually is.

Hattie
The Aggies are better than their record. So it was not a wreck to me. Bama in my opinion showed resilience in this game by coming back and could have pulled it off but poor play calling on that last drive with 2 minutes left. Bama was gashing them on the run and the sorry OC O’Brien decided to pass.

Edward
You are correct about Auburn, they have been very good at coming back with a win. This we’ve seen too many times. Let’s just hope this is not one of those years. If so, it’s always a Roll Tide from me!

Sloan Bashinsky
Hattie, A&M was beaten by Arkansas and Mississippi State. A&M woke up yesterday. Alabama seemed like two different teams taking turns. When the game ended, I said A & M deserved the win. How the rest of the season goes will be the decider for both teams. I hope Alabama players now have finally figured out penalties can be fatal. And turnovers.
