We have the TEAM to beat Alabama

Bama is totally beatable, I just don't know if they are beatable by us.

IMO the only way we win this game is if it goes like the 2022 game did and Joey and the WRs absolutely shred Bama's defense.

we have to outscore our defensive woes.

I think you’ve drank the Alabama kool-aid.
It’s not 2015.
Nick Saban is not coaching a roster that has 5 stars 3 deep at every position.
Ty Simpson is a good but not great qb.
Alabama is a good but not great football team.
If FSU can beat them we damn sure can.

He’s a great QB, stats back that up.
Stars aren’t everything, but they star wise are dominating us.
The FSU game was a fluke.

First you ask me if I'm "nuts", and now you want me to be "real". I can tell you that I'm not nuts and that I AM being real. Great teams find ways to win. It doesn't have to look pretty. If Alabama played Florida State again, I'd say Alabama would win. If we played Georgia again, I'd also say we'd win. I just find something wrong with the thought process of people who want to lie down and declare defeat BEFORE a game is played. Have we had moments of greatness this season? Yes. Have we peaked already? Hell no! The best is yet to come... BELIEVE!

I’ve watched both teams all year, and Ty Simpson is a solid QB but he hasn’t played against a pass rush like ours.

Bama is not run dominant. That’s good because our rush defense is not good. Our offense is too good for their defense.

Football is like Boxing in that styles make fights. Bama doesn’t match up well with us imo.

I’m worried about referees in Tuscaloosa honestly. These referees need some accountability. In fair called game I like our chances in Bama.

Their best back, Jam Miller got lit up Saturday. He left with a concussion. He may not play. Our pass defense is good enough. Our run game and pass game will beat them.

Anything can happen in a sec football game. I agree no games are gimmies, but to think we don’t have a shot is pure bull hockey as well. Nothing wrong with actual fans believing they have a shot, thinking we don’t have a shot is as bad or worse than thinking it is an automatic win and will be easy. As a fan I fully believe we can win this game knowing more than likely we will have to play well and there certainly are no guarantees. We have fans extremes both ways, some never give credit and others believe games like bama will be easy. Neither group is very logical.

Aaaahhh, never ever said we don't have a shot. Just don't think that puffing up our chests and saying that we "should" beat Bama (based upon what I don't know) is a prudent thing to do, especially if you take into consideration our record against Bama for the past 20-30 years. Be humble, root hard, pray for a wonderfully divine outcome.

And do agree w you though about extreme groups, as logic seems to evade those that go too far left or right, north/south, east/west, etc. - regardless of the subject.

I am in this camp for the game. And this gets back into the 'realist vs the negavol' discussion that was on another thread. Just because your FB knowledge and looking at past history, such as it is for this game in Tusc, doesn't make you a negavol because you think our chances of winning are low. That's not saying we don't have chance, just saying our D does not inspire confidence.

I hope I have to eat crow. Lived in Bama, married into Bama family for many years,
daughters in Bama, (I still hate the Tide) but I know when to stay quiet.

If Tide wins, my son in law will cackle for another year. He's slowly winding down that inheritance for my daughter!

I feel you man, live here and have to listen to it also.

Something needs to be done about the SEC refs. They are the worst in the country, and they seem to pick on UT consistently, come on ....ARY 1 penalty to UT's 10. (Boy that Petrino must be a hell of a disciplinarian 🤪🤣🤣🤣).

This isn't just a game, it involves people's jobs , millions of bucks(Gambing and NIL results), and recruiting results. Poor Auburn has been screwed even more, and could cost their coach and staff their jobs.

Sorry but an apology on Sunday just does not cut it and doesn't change the results. An apology and a dollar might buy you a cup of coffee. Maybe make them full time employees of the SEC with accountability. It's one thing if we lose to Bammer, but if it is due to a bad call or a none call, that's something else. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Unfortunately it's not a question of whether or not we're better than Alabama. We are. The question is whether or not we can overcome the combination of Alabama and SEC officiating.

Do you really believe this? While I think we have a shot to win, I do not think we are better than they are, Their roster is loaded.
