Re: Blame, gripe, complain thread. Dump it all here.

Two conversations I'd love to overhear:

1.  What our coaches are saying to one another.

2.  What the coaches are saying to the players.

3. What the coaches are saying to their wives.

4. What the wives are saying to the coaches.

 

And how long will it be before the wives start cutting them off?  

  That pic is getting a lot of play.

Ya know, I woke up and saw this thread had gone three pages.  I started reading, expecting to find lots of insightful comments about what is wrong and how it can be fixed.  Instead, this.

Since we're putting blame on players and coaches, I blame Chech for this!

I'd like to apologize to all the pygmies in New Guinea...

I'm just frustrated with the lack of communication like Chech said and the stupid mistakes we are making. Way too many penalties and shooting ourselves in the foot. I still think this team can finish strong, but not if these things continue to happen. We got away with it (barely) against Arky, but we won't be so fortunate against MSU and the like.

Good to see you didn't harm yourself after the O's game then the Bama performance.



 

If Bama had lost, I might have.

I freaking hate D.C. drivers. 
Also people who call into radio stations and either say, "Is this me?" or say the following, which I swear I heard on a radio station up here the other day: "I think the ALCS is going to come down to whichever team scores the most runs." I kid you not, boys.

Sounds like deep intellectual thought to me. Was it an Auburn fan?

I doubt it. There aren't enough goats in Maryland.

You are absolutely correct about DC drivers. I nearly had an aneurysm the night we met up with you. 

The callers sound like Yogi Berra offspring.

[Old Tider]

I dislike our great players running off early for the NFL and causing us to lose to Ole Miss.

[XBAMA]

it's not really the actual store I dislike as much as what I see in the wal-marks

This is the most undisciplined Saban-coached team I've seen since 2007.  The penalties at crucial times and turnovers are killing us.  Also, the special times leave a whole lot to be desired, even more so than in recent years.  Back in July during SEC media days, an unnamed former coach in the SEC said that on paper we looked like an 8 win team.  Most Bama fans probably either laughed at that or thought it was offensive.  Now, what that coach said doesn't sound so laughable or offensive.

Absolutely true about being undisciplined and the penalties/turnovers.  Coach Saban HAS GOT to get this under control.  I think I recall reading something about a lack of self-discipline being an issue last year with some of the players too.  Mayb a sense of entitlement?  I think at this point that Bama will be extremely lucky to finish the regular season with 8 wins.  Probably more like 7-5 actually.  What was our '07 record?  7-6 thanks to a Independence Bowl victory... 

[Chechem]

Ahh, yes.  I recognize the sentiment.



Folks over here in Mississippi are saying the lack of discipline has followed Kiffin where ever he's gone.
Isn't it nice to find such a simple answer to problems!

[bamaphil]

I know there was talk about a difference in Saban's demeanor in the first week or two in the season.  Here's what I see.

In 2008 I remember clearly that Bama was dominating Arkansas in the first half.  Bama was up big, and in the halftime interview Saban was angry.  He had almost nothing good to say.
2014, Bama has just played one of the worst halves of football I've see in a while, and Saban is calm, saying good things.

Last year and this year the team has lacked something we saw the previous two years and in 08-09: a hunger, a drive to excel, swagger, passion, etc.  It seems, from where I'm sitting 6000 miles away, that something has changed in Saban - and that change has affected the team.
