Crimson Red Sports

Kick off now set for 3:45 est. I am a little antsy about this one. I don't need to be as stressed as last week.

'Bout that time. Y'all ready?

o' yeah  #+

Buckle it up tight.

ROLL TIDE!

get ready for a heavy dose of laVern and Gurly  :lol2:


or listen to Mr. Gold  :dunno:

Johnny Football, meet brick wall.

We won toss and take the ball.

 #+ #+ #+

 :lol:

I like their coach.

he said a cuss word  :dunno:

Anyone nervous?

ok D ! time to shine !

Slow start by the offense.  Let's hope the defense doesn't start slow.

Crap. 3 and out again.

Why do we seem to go three and out on the first series every game?

Oh, and good morning.  :coffee2:

Is there no spy on Manziel?

it's Tim Tebow part two  :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Well, that was easy.  We better wake up.

Well this is interesting. Somebody needs lay out their qb. Make sure he is hit every play.

Disappointing.  ???

Not the start I wanted to see.

next time ?    :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

EL!  This is more like it.

Good running by Lacy.

That, ladies and gentlemen, will be the key to this game.  We have to pound them and keep Johnny Football sitting on the sidelines.

 :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Not AJ's fault, but the streak ends.  Our D has to hold.

Well AJ can't stop worrying about the streak.

Not a good start. Really nervous today.

We look horrible on both sides of the ball right now.  This needs to improve quickly.

lester is slow as hell!

unbelievable   :wall: :wall: :wall:

I hope this is not USCe 2010 part 2.

did anyone watch film last week?This is BS!  what the heck is going on?

We need to break their QB.  And fast.

my BP is right where it was at the end of last weeks game
bottom number in triple digits

Well we are going to get our head handed to us like we did to LSU last week if they don't put in the first team. RTR!

right now ....
if we can improve to horrible it would be a plus  :facepalm:

Lordy, they are killing us on both sides of the ball. We may have had to much h7ype on this one. RTR!

somebody needs to step UP !!!! we need a hero and fast !!!!!

We need a big play from the D early in this drive.

Group Prayer ?   :pray:

playing like what dropped out of a tall cow's butt!  heck, the barb could walk over us the way we ar playing.  looks like we have forgogt all we learned this season

Hell, can they really be that much better than us?  

Jesus , YES we do !!!!

We need to have a meeting of the minds and get this thing righted.

Well it has got to start somewhere fast and big time. RTR!

What happened to Milliner?

This was the biggest T.O. of the year. RTR!

Coach needs to light some butts on FIRE !!!!

Our DB's have got to get some leggs under them man. They are slow. RTR!

this kid is killing us  :wall:

Wow.  If they add more points on here, this could get really ugly.

I am really trying to stay positive

This is the Utah Sugar Bowl game part 2.  We're completely lost in every aspect of this game.

get ready boys , we are going to get hammered again  :tinfoil:

Missed tackles on every play.

ok , I need to go VOMIT

Good grief, are they out of bullets yet.  :-[

We are getting gashed. This is BS football. It's like playing school yard ball.

I;m calling it now..we are gonna get the dogsnot beat outta us..Brain trust? more like brain farts.

Knee was down.

One thing about it. There is plenty of time left

time to throw some dirt in their eye

Someone better figure something out quickly before this game gets out of reach.

If we hold them to a FG here we have a chance to get in the game.

missed tackles, out of position, we are looking really bad

Wow.  I don't see how that wasn't a touchdown, but I'll take it.

That is a TD, but we might get a lucky break if they don't a good camera angle to over turn it.

Think it will be overturned for a TD.

sorry Coach  :dunno:
wish we could have

OK, maybe this can be like the Ole Miss game in 1989 where we got down 21-0 and came back to win 63-21.

We have to get a body on that qb on every play.

Did someone knock out our entire defense and repacle it with barn players? This is frickin' embarrassing.  :wall: :wall:

Everybody in the country is laughing at us right now...and we deserve it.

We can still win this, but we have to stop their offense. The problem is our back 7 are not the back 7 we had last year. Guys like Dre, Barron, Hightower, Upshaw, Menzie, & Harris were quick, experienced, and great tacklers. Upshaw was a deadly pass rusher and no one is doing that this year. We have to march down the field about 12-15 plays and score while giving the D a rest.


 :popcorn2:

Well, we were up 21-0 over barn with C-- N-----  maybe we can pull an opposite position here.

Stick with our offensive plan and see if we can get going

Gut check time.  Somebody needs to be asking our players how bad, or if, they want this.

funny you say that ...
I'm setting here thinking  " MY GOD WE"RE THE ROLLER BARN " :wall:

why don't you people quit whining about what we don't have from last year? we got what we got..and they all look d****pitiful right now!
He** even chizwhiz is laughing at us right now.  It looks like a blood bath..and it's all our blood.

on top of getting outplayed, we are getting out-coached!

Someone on the D has to make a big play. A big hit on the QB for a sack, an interception, fumble, a stop on 3rd down, something which gets the D fired up.




 :clap:

no, Vern they have not rolled over us, we have rolled over

It's not whining, it's explaining why the D is not as sharp and good as last year. If anyone is whining or getting hysterical, it's you. Hang in there with the team, we are far from defeated.


 :wave:

I don't know if I agree with going for it on 4th down here.  OK, nevermind.  That's why I'm not a coach.  :lol2:

We're running well but getting nothing in the passing game.  We need to stick with the run and wear the defense down and keep theirs off the field.

We have got to punch this one in.

Big pickup for the 1st. Needed that.

Yeldon's got to be careful reaching the ball out that far from the endzone.

The coaches are smarter than me, but maybe we put NJ on the field with CJ. Get some pass rush going. The thing that is really hurting us is the qb. They spread the field and run at us. Instead of out flanking us, they spread and go straight at us.

OK, that's a start.  D's turn to step up.

TD TJY!!!  We're starting to get ourselves out of this hole.

Remember guys, A&M has been known to cave in the 2nd half.  We can still win this game.  But we have to stop them on defense at least half the time.

Noe we got Mo on our side. D needs to step up

Ok, good got some points. Its a start.

A 3 and out here would be huge, especially if we can drive the field and get another score.

This is a critical drive coming up. We can't let A&M respond. The good thing about our drive is the D got some rest and had time to talk things over with the coaches. We can stop them.



 :popcorn2:

The defense is still getting gashed.  We can't trade a score for a score.

No we can't. D has to find a way.

Finally!

If they go for it on 4th we have got to stop them.

 #+ #+ #+

AWESOME STOP FINALLY!!!!!

That was HUGE.

Okay, another TD here and we're back in this.

Man oh man did we need that.

Good job D. Now lets get a td.

Time to show them power football and who is #1.




 :clap:

Penalty.  :wall:

There is no need for us to be passing so much right now.  RUN THE BALL!!!

COOPER!!!!!

1st and goal.  RUN THE BALL!!!

Why are we passing like BYU so much? Ram it down their throats.




 :think:

EL!!!!  Now we've got a ballgame.

They finally heard me.  I guess I should have been yelling louder.

God I love it when Jesse comes in the game on O  !   #+

because it WAS a TD !!!!! 

TD. We seem to have righted the ship. Time now for good halftime adjustments.

Alriight, we've taken their punches but we're still standing strong.  We can win this.

I think CNS is going to give that same speech to the team. Our power run game is going to make the did fence.

It makes me nervous going into halftime behind, but considering the first quarter, I should probably be thankful that it's not worse.  Hopefully, A&M will keep up their second half meltdown pattern.

How can you spin the ball AND type?

I'm sure they are adjusting the D scheme to use against A&M in the 2nd half. I feel good right now. If we can force a turnover or two and keep driving the ball, we can win this going away. We still have the better D by far. Plus, Lacy & Yeldon can't be stopped.



 :clap:

They get the ball first.  We need to stop them on this drive and take control.

I haven't done that at all this year.  The games haven't been close until last week.  It might be time to start.  Where is my ball?

I'm thinking their was some sort of revival in the locker room. I'm also thinking its was R rated.

So you don't think CNS said, "Shucks guys, we have to play better." ?

Finally got Manziel for a loss.

MUUUUCCCHHHHH better.

Great start by the D!!!!

You can't start any better than that.  3 and out.  Run the ball down their throat and take the lead with about an 8 or 9 minute drive.

Good job D. Now lets get 6

5 yard run on 1st down.  Perfect.

Why can't we stay with the run!!!!!!!!

Wtf! RUN THE BALL! :deadhorse:

Can we stop talking about last week. We are in a fight now

Now our D is dialed in.  I wonder if we can RUN THE BALL this time?

Lets go O!!!!!!

We need to make the most of this field position right here.  The Tide is starting to turn!

RUN THE BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D has stepped up.  I agree with others though, I can't understand why we're not sticking with the run when it's working so well.

So, do y'all think we need to run the ball?  ???

:facepalm:

NO GAIN ... NO RUN ...  :wall:

Why are we throwing it?

Finally run the ball and gain 9 yards.

Run it again and pick up the 1st down.  Now run it 4 or 5 more times in a row, then MAYBE think about a pass.

:facepalm:

Amazing! When we run the ball, we pick up big yardage!! What are the odds!!!

A & M is daring McCarron to beat them and apart from that 3rd down play he's not doing it.

What is wrong with AJ? This is the 2nd game in a row in which he seems off his game. The poor pass protection is not helping, either.



 ???

We've got to stop them again on D.

Kenny Bell has played poorly and AJ can't get it going. We have to hit some key passes, not the 2 & 3 yard dump offs, but real completions, like 15-20 yards. I haven't seen Cooper, where has he gone?



 ???

3 is ok. Now let's get a STOP!

Receivers not getting separation. AJ seems off on the big throws. Run it down their throat.

He got a favorable spot on that one.

STOP 'EM D!!

Fulton #10 on our D, is having his lunch handed to him. Plus, he is a weak tackler.



 :popcorn2:

We need to hold them to no more than a field goal right here.

Fulton breaks up a pass. Good play.

The D just can't seem to contain the QB. Why don't we have one fast, quick player who follows him everywhere he goes? I am not a defensive genius, but that would seem to be a solution to his running free.



 ???

Oh boy! We are going to have to reach down for something extra.

Manziel is playing better than Tebow in the '08 SEC Championship.  I don't remember a QB playing a better game against Bama.

Fulton made a great play.  We're fortunate to just be down by 6.

A TD would put a dagger in their heart. We own the 4th qtr!

Why are we continuing to try to pass the ball?

I feel queasy

Unbelievable.

Somebody say something to make me feel better, please.

Stupid offensive play calling My God why are we trying to throw the ball so much, we can run the ball on them why not do it >:(

The D maybe gassed, but we need a TO ! Need something good to happen.

AJ misses another WIDE OPEN receiver. What has happened to him?




 :wall:

With 2:00 to go last week the situation was more hopeless than with 12:00 this week.

We should have gone for on that 4th down play instead of kicking the field goal.

Take heart. I know it doesn't look like it, but we WILL win this game.

Thank you.

That is a BS call

I hope you're right.

#10 Fulton has dramatically improved in the last 15 minutes of play. Good for him. The D still has to make a stop and not when they are own our 10 yard line.

We have life, but we really need to get points right here.

Boy, I sure hope they let AJ coming out throwing the ball since we have been doing so good at that. Has Cooper been hurt, because I still have not seen him?




 :eyeroll:

we need a 3-4 minute drive for 7, then hold them to a 3 and out, and then we lick a FG, then we get an interception on thier last poss.

Finally!!!

Wow.  One step forward, two steps back.

Oh holy crap! Lots of bad karma happening.

a nice 50 yd pass play, and then...really? what the h888 else is gonna go wrong?

Should have been a TD if AJ hits Cooper in stride instead of making Cooper having to stop and catch the ball. Again, what is wrong with AJ?




 :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

Well looks like this game is over maybe next year we can do better than this.

Can I vomit now. This qb is really good.

Don't mean to sound negative, but AJ is killing us with his poor passing.

Turnovers have given them 2 touchdowns.

  go ahead , I did already

Give A&M QB credit, he is making perfect throws and AJ can't hit a guy 10 yards wide open.




 :(

This is a stunner. Live by a freshman...die by a freshman.

All I can say is our DB's are being HAD, and it is like they can't get a break

AND..it is all but over now.  we stunk the place up tonite.

We've got to pretty much be in 2 minute drill mode from here on out and hold them to no points.  This is going to take a better comeback than last week.

Stupid SEC expansion.   >:( >:( >:(

Gentlemen, I am not calling it yet, but things are definitely bad. Somebody is going to have to step up BIG TIME in the next 8 minutes.

I don't know that we have time to run the ball right now.

We still have plenty of time, but AJ has to remove his head from his rear end, plus we have to quit looking like the 3 Stooges on D.

put this one square on AJ and Yeldon..and Barret.  and Lester..he** the whole team and the coaching staff.  

it was a good run, and we had hopes.

Woah.  We got lucky that his foot was out of bounds.

Nice play, but I'm afraid it's too little too late.

 #+ #+ #+

Alright D, it's your time.  We need a 3 and out here.  Those 2 turnovers have hurt us badly.

Not if our D shows up! :popcorn2:

ROLL TIDE!!!

Still plenty of time. Now, stop them on D and then drive down the field. We can do it.



 :clap:

It ain't over yet, boys! Holding on to a thread of hope.

That was almost huge.

Manziel holds the ball out when he's running.  We need to take the ball from him.

WAY TO GO, D!!!!

Do it again AJ!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

LOTS of time. Now drive the ball right at them.

YES!!!!

Get it in boys!

 :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray:

NOW GET THE BALL !!!

Let me see, we have first and goal at the 6 and we try to throw the ball. Am I missing something? Then, we run it twice with AJ having happy feet and on 4th down he is staring at the receiver and throws an interception.



 ???

I am sick! We didn't run it once down there

Turnovers and penalties.  :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

now my stinking lsu neighbor is outside blowing a freakin air horn  :wall:

this really sucks ...  :'(

A freshman LB is in the game on the punt return and he jumps offside for a penalty that killed us. Now what was the genius behind that? Why was he in such a hurry? Why was a freshman out there on the return? Some really strange play calls and situations and they all added up to a loss. Plus, I will ask one more time, what is wrong with AJ? Don't mean to sound silly, but I really don't get it.



 :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

I wish I knew MD ... I wish I knew

 :facepalm: :wall: :unsure:

We made our share of mistakes today that is for sure, but give credit where credit is due, A&M came ready and they played very well. I refuse to be a barner and blame conspiracies or refs for losses.

If anyone knows SUPERCOACH's number, please check on him to make sure he is okay. he quit posting and I am afraid he is looking for an oak tree and a rope.

This. 3 turnovers got Bama beat.

that we did cb ... plenty of them ... cost us big this time
A&M was ready for sure , but I still fart in their general direction  :lol2:

Well guys we have a good team and we will just start over. It seems to be kind of funny, how we come apart at home on our own field. We are probably out now so we can still have a good year. AJ I am sure knows his loss, I feel sorry for the guys but they were not ready for that Quarterback. RTR!

That is one thing about Mobile I don't miss, X: all the corndogs. At least here in Maryland, no one seems to know that college football is even played.  :lol2:

my game summary  ....


(http://mafiatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Shot-in-foot.jpg)




 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, here is my simpleminded overview of the game:

1) We still can not pass block and that is on the O-line coach

2) For the 2nd game in a row AJ has stunk and missed wide open players

3) The defense was not really prepared to deal with their QB and didn't figure things out until the 2nd half

4) VERY, VERY, questionable play calling. We are running the ball down their throat, but we keep trying to pass the ball with negative results.

5) No doubt this was a conspiracy by Auburn boosters, paid off refs, the NCAA, the SEC office, and the Boy Scouts to have the Tide beaten.

well ... he did catch hell the for last week ...   :lol2:

I saw him pick up a big bag of dodo out of his yard ...  :unsure:

how do I know it was dodo ? because it was in a clear plastic bag and
wasn't hard to see that it was full of the big black pickles ...

we made his day today I'm sure ...   :facepalm:

That was obviously the real reason.  :lol:

I just glad the Girl Scouts were not involved  :wave:

I love their cookies   :worship:

 :lol:
Don't forget ESPN.  They need somebody besides an SEC team in the BCSNCG this year so that they can keep the ratings up in the rest of the country.   :tinfoil:

I think Bama lost to make some of y'all included in the Meltdown thread next week.

Well, the national press and fans of every other program in the country are probably peeing themselves they are so happy.  :wall: :wall:

yea . I'm sure there are some doozie post out there about now   :unsure:

Wow, you are right, I forgot all about them. I bet the Pope even has some involvement in this and George Bush.



 :tinfoil:

parting like it's 1999  ? 

 :lol: #+

you know GW is in on it ! he is from Texas  !    :lol2:

You think so? That would be great, maybe I can get my own reality show with Kim Kardashian or some super model after some exposure of my literary talents.



 :P









 :eyeroll:

OK guys, it is going to be alright.  They whipped us fair and square.  There were a lot of mistakes made, but the biggest blame in my mind has to be on the play calling on offense.  We could have run the ball down their throats if we had tried to do so.  We win by 10 to 14 points with them caving in the 4th if we run the ball throughout the game.

We have the ball 1st and goal on the 6 yard line with the game on the line and about 4 minutes to go.  Let me give you a hint on what the play calling SHOULD have been:

1)  Run left behind Jesse
2)  Run right behind Jesse
3)  Run middle behind Jesse
4)  Run bootleg away from Jesse

-OR-

Pick your own 4 runs.  There is no way we don't get 6 yards on 4 runs against them.  Even after we messed up the whole game until that point, we still win with 4 runs.

And oh by the way, unless 2 out of 3 of the remaining undefeated teams finish perfect we still have a decent shot at the crystal football.  We will probably be no worse than 4th tomorrow (maybe higher if someone else loses tonight).  A loss to Johnny Football is not that bad considering all of the media hype he is getting right now, and he will get even more hype now.  UGA is pouring it on Auburn and will win the East.  They will probably come into Atlanta as a 1 loss top 5 team.  It actually looked worse last year after LSU since we had no chance to win the SEC and it would have to be SEC vs SEC in the championship game.  This year we can still win the SEC and can play a top 5 team in Atlanta.  Obviously we need some help, but I think our chances are actually better this year after the loss than they were last year, and look how that turned out.

why couldnt we have lost last week, at least obummer wouldnt have re-elected :(

Well I missed most of the game. I came in at the last 8 minutes but just taking a look at the box score it looks like we were trying to have AJ win the Heisman. JMHO

BINGO!! Just what I was thinking. It ain't over till it's over.


 :popcorn2:

But we did not run. We called three pass plays.  :(

Yep, I went back and watched that series again.  Horrible play calling.  On that 4th down play they should have at least sent MW out in the flats on the opposite side.  He would have been wide open for an easy TD.  They should have taken a time out or two on that series and gotten the play call right.  1st and goal that late in the game, you have to punch it in.  No need to save your time outs, you have to push your chips to the center of the table and get the right plays called for that series.  If you score you won't need those time outs.

^^^Game Summary^^^

Your momma is going to wash your mouth out with soap.


 :shake:

I think AJ may have actually been hurt in that game he sat out in the 4th quarter, but the coaching staff isn't going to reveal what it is during the season, and AJ is going to keep playing.  He hasn't been the same since then.

my second game summary ....


WE ARE NOT AUBURN !


ROLL TIDE !!!

Whe you have the luxury of a QB with a gazillion completions with no (1) interceptions, you have to trust his judiciousness over the chance of a runner getting held up and stripped. HTH

I do not understand the "what is wrong with AJ" comment. He played well and kept us in the game IMO. He was 21 of 34 for 309 yds. He threw 2 picks but the first was not his fault. The ball hit the receiver right in his hands. The int at the goal line is a tough play. There is not much room to pass from the 2 yd line.

My complaint would be the OL. We are no where near the best OL in the country. We have good players but we are not playing well as a unit. AJ was running for his life most of the night. Our high powered running game gained 122 yds. The coaches must have thought we could not run it in with a 1st and goal on the 6 yd line. We called three pass plays. I love Barrett Jones but he got whipped all game.

I agree with CP in that AJ may have been playing hurt against LSU and TAMU. Nevertheless it was not his best game. What amazes me, and this happens in B-Ball as well, some blowhards think that all a coach has to do is yell at a player and they will magically start passing/shooting better.

AJ played fine, and was 2 yards short of having his very own statue.

Partially agree, partially disagree. Stats can be misleading. A lot of his completions were dink & dunk 2 yard passes. He missed wide open receivers on more than one occasion. On the long pass to Cooper, Cooper was WIDE OPEN but had to almost stop running since AJ underthrew the pass. If AJ hits him in stride, he scores a TD and we probably win. Throwing an interception on the goal line is unacceptable, no matter how difficult it is. That is worse than throwing 2 interceptions on the 50 yard line. Plus, he seemed to be rushing some throws, even when the pass rush was not bad. I do think the overwhelming problem is the pass blocking by the O-line. Western Kentucky exposed us on that with 6 or 7 sacks of AJ. Apparently, the coaches did not learn from that experience. This is the 2nd average to subpar game in a row for AJ. Something is wrong with AJ. Finally, Jones was owned all night. Play calling gets a D- from me (coaches fault).
