Thoughts - Week Finally Interesting

[RWS]

You can tell Drake isn't one of the midget's favorites. Guy fumbles one time and don't see the field again till the 4th.

Probably because you can bank on him coughing it up at least once per game.  Literally.

The train wreck that is still likely inevitable is postponed. Kiffin works for Sims. Denying that is turning a blind eye.

UF doesn't have the purported d many of the experts said. Still, impressive yardage that Bama put up.

I feel like FSU is running on fumes.

We are more likely to see an undefeated iron bowl as any point in my life, or at least post Dye. I don't see a 3 loss Bama team going into it, like many of us suspected with Coker at QB.

We will still know more next week, even though LSU offense appears anemic.

Unfortunately, Snyder gave everyone a blueprint. But I feel like Gus will adapt.

[Saniflush]

They are saving Coker to "spring" on us.

If they do that, we can just go into the locker room at the half and change into our orange jerseys. And then, run the wishbone in the second half. That would show them.

Disagree with your football brilliance.

bama in my opinion showed nothing in beating Florida.  That game was quite possibly one of the worst coached games this side of Gene Chizik circa 2012.  They have no sort of offensive persona what-so-ever other than being offensive, and their defense (turn overs aside) looked like crap. We have a better secondary than they do.

If Muschamp had been fired Sunday morning it would not have surprised me.

I still think bama loses at least 3.  aTm, Miss State, LSU, Us, Ole Miss.

Fuck I'm worried about us as well as we have to play No. 2, No. 7, No. 11, No. 13, No. 15, No. 16 and No. 18. Four on the road. We sure as shit better not play like we did Thursday night.

Every word of this is correct.

More ranked teams than FSU, Oregon, and Oklahoma combined.

Not to mention we already beat a ranked team last weekend and Arkansas is better than many ranked teams IMO.

Listening to the sports wonks you'd think Auburn lost by 20. #TheNarrative is skrong, I tell you. Skrong.

You and your gay supporters are right about our schedule. I won't deny we have a tougher road. And as I agree, UF is bad.

I simply maintain that Kiffin is good for Sims and that the Bama o is more productive than I expected. And minus the turnovers, improving.

Bottom line is that I know more about football than anyone else on here but even I could be wrong. Probably not though.

This will make the meltdown glorious...I say pump'em up every chance you get.

Before the season started, if you would have told me that after game 4 Alabama would have the #6 offense in the country and average 587 YPG with Blake Sims and a new OC, I would have thought you are a fucktard.  Alabama is also #4 in the country in pass efficiency.  Sims makes mistakes, and isn't all world.  But I have to admit that my prediction last year that Alabama would be fucked with him starting over Coker was wrong.  Really wrong. 

The defense is #5 in the country.  They only allowed 93 yards passing on 14 UF possessions.  Driskel was 9/28 with 2 TD and 1 INT.  There were two starters in the secondary out, and a true freshman was one of the people starting in their place.  He was matched against the UF WR that had 216 receiving yards against Kentucky.  Brown (Alabama DB) only allowed 2 catches for 14 yards.  I don't care who you're playing against, it doesn't get much better than that.  Especially when your offense coughs the ball up 4 times, and two of those are inside your own 30 and the third was ran back for a TD.  Now, is this a lockdown secondary as in the past?  No.  They are still susceptible to the big play.  But then again, Saban's defense always has been.

Auburn has a tougher road- check. If we lose but one with this schedule it will be an accomplishment.
Kiffin good for Sims and he is improving- check. The added element is he can run unlike those before him.

^This^
West Virginia, FAU, USM & UF all at home...all of them aren't worth a damn on Offense or Defense...all of them would struggle against San Jose St.

West Virginia has the #5 passing offense, and #10 total offense in the country.  Their QB is 2nd in the country in regards to total passing yards.  For the most part, they went toe-to-toe with Alabama and Oklahoma.  Pretty good offense, so-so defense.  Sorry, but WVU would blow San Jose State out of the water.  Not that it is that much to crow about.  Most Power 5 teams would.  Even though I also don't think that UF is nearly as good as some thought they were going to be, sorry, but I don't see them struggling against SJSU.  FAU and USM, probably.  They're cupcakes, no question about it.

If Alabama turns the ball over against the Auburns and the LSUs of the world like they did against UF, it isn't going to be pretty.  There are plenty of areas where improvement is needed.  However relatively speaking, given all the things that really could have went wrong, I'm OK with where Alabama is right now.  UF may not have been the greatest measuring stick, but it was a better challenge than FAU and USM.  All you can do is play the game on your schedule and win.
