Title: Blake Sims bails out Alabama in so many ways against LSU Post by: bama57 on November 09, 2014, 08:18:30 AM Quote Sims got the ball with less than a minute left and guided Alabama to the game-tying field goal by hitting 4-of-6 passes for 44 yards. He started overtime with a 24-yard pass to Brandon Greene, a tight end lined up in the tackle spot, and finished with a six-yard pass to DeAndrew White. http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/story/2014-11-09/blake-sims-leads-alabama-past-lsu-sec-west-college-playoff-nick-saban-lane-kiffin-tj-yeldon?iadid=Home_DL_2At that point, you knew LSU wasn’t going to answer.

I just wish the play calling and execution had been what it should have been so he wouldn't have had to do it in the last 50 seconds.

Title: Re: Blake Sims bails out Alabama in so many ways against LSU Post by: Chechem on November 09, 2014, 04:26:28 PM Quote Not bad for a first-year starter who came into the season thrust into impossible expectations with the departure of McCarron and arrival of transfer Jacob Coker. Not bad for a guy who entered the game as one of eight quarterbacks with a passer rating of 160 or more, a list that includes guys such as Oregon’s Marcus Mariota and Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett, guys that should be in New York for the Heisman presentation. Not bad for a guy who answered all those questions in 50 seconds and overtime. Leave Blake Sims alone. Time to give the kid his due. Roll Tide. :worship: :worship: :worship: Title: Re: Blake Sims bails out Alabama in so many ways against LSU Post by: Marshal Dillon on November 09, 2014, 04:37:24 PM I am thrilled that Sims was able to perform when it counted.

Sims poor play put us in that position. Yep! All those dropped passes, 4 by Coop, had nothing to do with it. It was all on Blake. :eyeroll: Title: Re: Blake Sims bails out Alabama in so many ways against LSU Post by: Jamos on November 09, 2014, 06:40:59 PM Total BS! Sims poor play put us in that position.

Sims poor play put us in that position. Yep! All those dropped passes, 4 by Coop, had nothing to do with it. It was all on Blake. :eyeroll: I never understand why some folks want to put all the blame or give all the credit to one guy. It is a team sport. There are 11 guys on the field at a time, and there are well over 100 plays in a game. That is over 1100 man-plays per game. Even if the team grades out at 90%, that is 110 player miscues per game. Some bigger than others, obviously, but there is always enough blame or credit to go around. You win as a team and you lose as a team. Winning and losing comes down to which team does a better job of limiting their mistakes and then overcoming the inevitable mistakes that they do make. A perfect case in point: LSU had the ball 1st and Goal on the 6 yard line after the Yeldon fumble. However they get a penalty that pushes them back 15 yards and they end up settling for a FG. We get both a 5 yard penalty AND a 15 yard penalty, both at the goal line, yet we somehow find a way to overcome those mistakes and score a TD.

If anybody thought this game was going to be a cakewalk in BR, they should have known better. There was plenty of blame to go around for the 2nd half performance, the O line, the dropped passes, the penalties. I could go on and on, and no one is giving credit to the job that LSU did defensively. Sims took control when he had to and pulled us through. I just don't understand the hate for the guy. We are 8-1 and in complete control of our destiny. Chill pill, guys. |
