Title: Auburn is really not that good
Post by: War Eagle!!! on November 28, 2017, 08:26:14 AM

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — When the University of Alabama football team checks out the video from Saturday’s 26-14 loss at Auburn, the Crimson Tide will badly want another shot at the Tigers.

Not next year, but in the College Football Playoff in a few weeks.

That goes without saying, and it could potentially happen, but between missed tackles, bad decisions and poor execution, the Crimson Tide really gave the game away.

“We messed up a bunch,” Alabama junior defensive tackle Da’Ron Payne said after the game. “Everything they did on us was because of us. Us not lining up right; us not reading our keys; us not having our gaps. It is all on us.”

“It was just us messing up.”

He’s not wrong. Auburn played well and deserved to win the game, but time and time again the Crimson Tide made an uncharacteristic mistake or just had something not go right when it needed.

It was a lot more than the team that’s known for not having turnovers losing a fumble, a holder losing his grip on the ball or a wide receiver not stretching for a crucial first down.

For example, Alabama’s only completed pass on third down was a screen to junior running back Bo Scarbrough, who got tangled up by defensive back Stephen Roberts just shy of the first down. Instead of a potentially big play, the Crimson Tide went three-and-out and Auburn took the lead on its subsequent possession.

There was a lot of that kind of thing at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

There is more gold here:

Georgia thinks so too:

Quote
Three weeks ago, Auburn out-gained Georgia 488 to 230 yards, sacked Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm four times and held a powerful Bulldog rushing attack to 46 yards on 32 carries in a 40-17 win.

As No. 6 Georgia prepares for a rematch against No. 4 Auburn in the SEC Championship game Saturday, junior wide receiver Terry Godwin was asked about that first meeting.

“I mean, it was more of self-inflicted wounds,” Godwin said. “We made a lot of mistakes, and we seen that coming from the film we watched the day after, and it was just the little things that mattered that we didn't do, and we feel like we've got to come back and correct those and be better this weekend.”

Fromm completed just 13-of-28 passes for 184 yards with one touchdown against the Tigers. Godwin said the receivers didn’t do a good enough job getting open for their true freshman quarterback.

Godwin insists that will change this week.

“I mean, we're very motivated because, I mean, that game just goes to show that we can't relax and just be on our heels. We've got to always be on our toes and be prepared for anything,” he said. “I mean, there's just the thought inside of the receiving room, we're going to come out and not let anybody else do that to us or even Auburn do that to us again. We've just got to go out there and be on our A-game.”

Godwin said he’s expecting Auburn to come at them with, “a couple of tricks and gadgets and all that type of stuff because that's what Auburn does.” And according to Godwin, the Tigers will be facing a different team in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

“I mean, we're a lot better,” he said. “We've been fixing all the nicks and bugs we had messed up against them three weeks ago, and they've been on their A-game as well. So it's going to be a great game, but the better team is going to come out on top, and I feel like that's going to be us.”

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. CT on CBS.

The dumbassery with the assessment of these two games isn’t limited to just one fan base.

It’s amazing that someone could take an ass kicking, especially Like Georgia, and think it a fluke.

Honestly though, not surprising. Their fans aren’t that football smart. If we’d taken an ass whipping like that, I know this place wouldn’t be clamoring that it was a fluke.

Did you see the video? That may have been the worse excuse I have ever seen. The first one it looked like he was adjusting his glove or something, the second one he was trying to get the corner's attention on the other side of the field.

Funny thing is, that good teams dictate the way an opponent plays. They put pressure on a team to make them do uncharacteristic things. It's what Alabama has been doing for 10 years. Do you think that all teams go into the shitter just because when playing Alabama? No, it's because they wear you down and beat your ass and make you do stupid things.

Auburn has done that to both Alabama and UGA this year.

Yeah, I laughed my ass off.  Watched the first video at least a dozen times and never saw him clap.  You are right about the second one too...he was trying to get the corner's attention.

And this completely proves that Auburn outplayed them.  Got "tangled up" my ass.  You got stopped short.

Either of you two have a link? Wouldnt mind seeing that.

As far as this bs from the dawgs and bama, I'm actually glad to see they feel this way. This sets up nicely with an even deeper dagger. They don't think Auburn beat them, that is not necessarily the best way to motivate ya know.

They ever think their mistakes as they like to call them were because the other team was better? Or the lack of execution was because....the other team was better? Same with the "self inflicted" line of garbage.  This is the society we live in now. No accountability. No good losers. Always an excuse and always nothing they did. Immediately point to something to blame. No way in hell you could have just got whipped.

Btw - auburn could point out just as many similar things in both of those games to "blame". Push off in the endzone, 3 fgs in the red zone against uga to start the game, bama not being set on the 12 men bs review etc etc. Woulda couldas are the language of sore losers because most of the time these things even out in the end. We all know this. It's just the losing team likes to lament on it to make themselves feel better about their ass beating.

Ed Zachary.  Auburn had 25 first downs and the time of possession wasn't even close.  But, I'm sure that was all because Bama lined up wrong.

Just look at that key series after Auburn took a 12-point lead with 12:49 left. On third-and-4 in Auburn territory, someone on the Alabama offensive line thought he heard a clap and snapped the ball prematurely, causing a fumble. On fourth down, running back Bo Scarbrough tried to clap to draw Auburn offside, only for the ball to be snapped inadvertently again, causing yet another fumble.

Is this not the same plays referencing the pre-snap clap? Cause the game I was watching, the commentators saw the same I did and that was Bo Scabbro.

Clap-Gate  :haha:

Nope, watched it again last night and he was as far over the line as he was on the previous play where they actually called it.  The refs were just trying to make up for letting Nick Marshall run 5 yards over the line before he threw to Sammie while all 5 of our linemen were 10 yards down field in 2013.

How anyone, biased or not, could watch that game and not see the glaring reasons why Auburn beat Alabama is beyond me.  It was very easy to see.  Auburn was more confident and way more physical than Alabama.  Period.  Without knowing the stats I would guess Auburn had 100+ yards after contact.  That's the bottom line.  Auburn manhandled Alabama.  On offense and on defense. 

The kick six game was hard to take.  Not because Alabama lost but because of how they lost.  That sucked.  But Saturday night wasn't hard at all.  The better team won.  The stronger team won.  The coach with the best game plan won.  Anyone who says differently is either being purposely obtuse or they don't know shit about football.

Furthermore, worst case scenarios for Alabama at this point are as follows....

Oklahoma gets beat by TCU placing Bama and Oklahoma in a bowl game. 
Oklahoma doesn't get beat by TCU, Bama backs into playoffs and has to play Oklahoma in the 1st round.
Alabama backs into the playoffs and has to play Auburn again this season.

I can't imagine 3 worse things for Alabama at this point.

Token, if TCU beats OU, I think Bama is in, regardless of what happens to Wisky/OSU.

Furthermore, I think if Auburn wins and OSU wins, I think Bama is in, and if UGA wins and OSU wins, I think OSU goes over the Tide.

I predict Bama will be at 5.  However, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they only dropped them to 4.  It all depends on what factors the committee decides on that particular day that they deem to be important.  Clemson has one loss, to Syracuse.  But they've beaten #6 Auburn.  Oklahoma whipped a top 10 tOSU but their lone loss is to Iowa State.  Bama has beaten several top 25 teams but none in the top 10 now.  But their only loss is to #6 on the road.  You can make an argument either way.  I don't think it will happen but it wouldn't surprise me. 

Our scenario is set in stone.  Beat the Georgia Fuck You Bulldogs and we're in.  If we don't, we're ferked.

And I hate to agree with him but Reece Davis was absolutely right last night on the selection show. If they let Ohio state in this year, then the committee is simply playing a shell game from year to year to suit osu. They would be putting them in this year for the very exact opposite reasoning they got in last year and lobbied for.

Here is my issue though...If you stack bamas schedule against Wisconsin there isn't a big difference.  So if Wisconsin were to lose in the Championship game how can you reward bama who didn't have to play that extra game and penalize Wisconsin its bullshit.

I thought they beat a MSU team that was at 24 with 5 losses now and out of the top 25 and #18 LSU, yes fsu was ranked , but what a shit show they turned out to be. Including SOS, I would like to think the turds are fucked.


Personally, I don't want them anywhere near the playoffs, get some bowl bid that the turd fans think are beneath them, have a poor showing, get a rep as not traveling well. Anyway to fuck them, I want them to get fucked.

I'm not advocating for Alabama to be in the playoffs because they shouldn't be.  I hope the top 4 teams right now make it in because they are the best 4 teams.  But the FSU argument is weak.  If Bama doesn't know FSU's quarterback out in the first game of the season they are likely a much different team.

Agreed.  And that game likely goes down to the wire.  You can't fault Bama for scheduling a team like FSU, who many thought was either #1 or #1A.  QB went down and season went in the shitter.  Not that it matters, but I thought FSU was way overrated to start with. Great team but not top 5.  One reason.  Dalvin Cook.  Anywho, as it stands, Bama is 11-1 with a 3-1 record against current top 25 teams.

AU #2 Loss
LSU Win
MSU Win
Fresno State Win

You want to talk about shit for schedules.  Go look at Weskansan.  Jeez!  Auburn, Bama, Georgia, LSU and probably Miss. State would all be undefeated with that garbage.  The Badgers may be pretty damn good and they handled their business against what was put in front of them.  But come on, man.  There's a reason it's taken this long for the committee to give them any love.

Bama hack

He is.

Its why I hate agreeing with him. But he was right. There is no way OSU belongs in this playoff no matter what happens. Doors blown off at HOME by Oklahoma. Doors blown off by Iowa at Iowa by 30+ points. Think on that. It just sucks that Bama is sitting there as the other option if Wisky or TCU screws up. I won't say that Bama deserves to make it. Im just gonna say OSU DOESNT.

Conf winner? Pffffttttt. Suddenly it matters to them. Pfttttt. Funny they lobbied for the exact opposite logic last year. Another Pfttttt..

Here is my issue though...If you stack bamas schedule against Wisconsin there isn't a big difference.  So if Wisconsin were to lose in the Championship game how can you reward bama who didn't have to play that extra game and penalize Wisconsin its bullshit.

Because it will be the first real game they've played and will have lost it.

Auburn on the road is a better loss than OSU on a neutral field.

And Saban is wearing the other shoe.

After arguing that OSU shouldn't get in last year because they didn't win their conference, he's now allowing for the possibility that a non-conference winner....say....like Bama...should make the playoff.

Whole scenario sucks. Either way, one slip up and an undeserving team will get in. Pains me to say too but osu is the lesser team of the 2. 55-24 at Iowa. Done.

But I'm not a fan of either making it.

Yes you can.  Their recipe for SOS finally backfired on them.

Schedule a marginally good power 5 team to start the season and bill them as the best thing since sliced tomatoes.  Pollsters buy in and rank them somewhere in the top 15, so it looks good.  Bammer beats them like a rented mule and is proclaimed the best team ever in the history of the universe, while said opponent rebounds for a nice 8-4 season and sneaks back into the top 25 by season's end.

This year it backfired, because they swept the leg.

I was really talking in a broader sense.  I have no problem playing several directional schools for OOC opponents as long as you throw in someone half way legit from a Power 5.  We do it every year and Bama certainly does it as well.  This year yes, it backfired, because FSU promptly took a swan dive into the shitter.  But I'll never fault anyone for scheduling FSU in a given year, or USC or Clemson etc.

honestly,  i would rather see the conference play one more intraconference game.  keep three OCC games in the mix with one team coming from the power 5.  balance of the games coming from the mid-majors...get away from the Citadals and Mercers of the world.
