All you geniuses

Yeah I mean not like we have more than one game to go on or anything. I never called for Moorhead to be fired or really questioned anything other than leaving Fitz in at Quaterback and not getting our RBs more called runs.

But to beat your chest over a flash in one game like all is well is a bit premature. Maybe a switch flipped and he will be better for the rest of the season but we went 4 full SEC games with inadequacy.

The offense showed that excitement expected from Moorhead last night and I was very happy to see Guidry finally able to show off his ability. I really hope it keeps up. Maybe we get to 8 wins which is ok, but also disappointing considering the elite defense we have.

Nope. I cannot agree with this. We should be 8-0 right now. We are better than at least Kentucky and Florida, and we probably beat LSU if we have a better offensive plan and dont throw 4 picks.

This was the year to compete for the west and go to a NY6 bowl. Instead, we are playing for the music city/belk bowl at this point. Everyone who is not astounded at how bad weve been offensively to this point should be. The absolute floor for this team was 9 regular season wins, but ol joe decided he wanted to dig a little.

His coaching definitely hampered us in those 3 games. There is no questioning. But The point is Mullen would have gone 10-2 max. And there certainly would be no competing for the West (in hindsight) as Bama is better than anticipated.

We'd lose the Egg Bowl too, because Mullen would be job hunting. Since 2012, Mullen checked out after the first week of November. He wanted out of Starkville in the worst kinda way. It showed in his recruiting, but it sure as hell showed each November.

Is bama really that much better than anticipated? I dont expect us to beat them by any stretch, but I bet we are competitive in that game. If jomo was half the offensive guru as we all thought he was, we'd have a shot to win. We know our defense will keep us in it.

Bama has really played nobody.

 

[HamSammich]

No, I would have been fired as well.

Define "competitive". Bama is MUCH better than anticipated. You will see that this weekend. I will be surprised if we hold them below 30...in the first half.

I knew this was going to be a different type of Bama team, but I thought that it meant they would be beatable. They are using RPOs and deep passes instead of the running game, and their defense was supposed to be soft due to poor linebackers. I thought Alabama's games would be more like Big 12 games this year, and that Saban and the players would not be able to maintain that level of play all season.

Well, the scouting report was right, but they are just way better at playing Big 12 football than anyone anticipated. And their defense has gotten better as the season has gone on. I'm not saying they are unbeatable -- and I would love to see someone take them out -- but they are much better than anyone anticipated.

I am going to Tuscaloosa with a whole crew of Bama fans and a couple of State fans. We'll have a good time, but the game will suck.
