Post by: KoKoPuf on October 08, 2014, 09:09:00 AM

I have had my suspicions, how about you?

"I don't know if that's Lane doing that or if Coach Saban is kind of putting the handcuffs on Lane like I've known Coach to do in the past on his offensive coordinator, and we're going to be very bland and run this play and do this and we'll throw it on third down if we have to," McCarron said via AL.com.

Of course it's true. The head coach determines/approves the game plan. The problem occurs when a coach wants a conservative offense and it proves too conservative.

Okay, have we blamed everybody now?  One at a time, people have singled out individuals who cost us the game: players, coach, staff...

I'd say we should blame the fans, but nobody has suggested that we fans did anything except support the team (well, some have).  I'm sure we also deserve blame, but just haven't figured out how we ruined the game.

MOVE ON, PEOPLE.  BLAMING ISN'T PRODUCTIVE.

I, for one, was way too cocky last week, thinking Ole Miss would cave like they always do.  I did not have the proper attitude about the game, and if the player's had my same attitude then it was a contributing factor.  Attitudes are contagious.  If the players sensed all the cockiness emanating from the fanbase and took that same attitude, then we did indeed contribute to the loss.

I know I played a part in it too, somehow. But that is the fifth Alabama-Ole Miss game I've been to, and we won the other 4.  ???

When you go, we win 80% of the time.  When you don't go, we win 85% of the time.  I think I see the problem here.

Now you're blaming the posters!!!!! Of course, I can see how Chechem might be at fault since he didn't make sure Jamos saw the refs before the game or halftime.

Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton was also asked to respond to McCarron's comments in an interview on WJOX's Opening Drive on Wednesday morning. He didn't mince words.

"AJ McCarron, he need to be quiet," Tarkenton said. "He was so fortunate to play in that program. He's an average quarterback at best. He couldn't have played anywhere else but Alabama and to make any kind of comment is just disrespectful. He shouldn't have made it and he should keep his mouth shut and praise Saban and Alabama for the rest of his life."

Wow! I guess to say AJ is not going to be welcomed with open arms if he keeps talking is a for sure huh? I think this back biting is getting worse than a bunch Baptists at church which I am one. Why not support each other than trying to break down. We need to push forward and get wins not worry about a team that was better than us that one day. What one day out of 10 yrs. My, my. GO BAMA!

Not real sure why AJ continues to make these types of comments. I know play calling was conservative early in the game but play calling is not why we lost the game either.   :-\

I would also like to take this opportunity to blame Verne and Gary, the bumbling broadcasters.  I haven't figure out why yet, but give me a moment and I will come up with something.

If CBS knew how many viewers they cost the network I think CBS would do the right thing and fire them. CBS needs another Chris Economaki. He could always build a car race and a college football game. RTR!

BLOOM!!!

I have no idea how good of a QB AJ will be at the next level, but I tend to agree with Fran about closing his pie hole.  And I am a huge AJ fan, by the way.

MY brother, I must say I have high respect for you. you are a great friend whom I have never met but would love to have that honor someday. I think we should stop and think before we speak negative things about our alumni or compare them to others we know to be less than respectable. You know I love AJ and what he did but I pray when he looks in the mirror he would realize to himself than he spoke wrong. None of us are perfect, but let's lift our ex players and others up rather speak harshly about them. Do you agree? Always a fan and Roll Tide Roll! RTR!

This.  There's probably plenty of blame to go around, but it's time to circle the wagons and move on before loose lips sink more ships.

All of you are blind, it's easy to see who is at fault here. It's that blame grand baby who's taking up too much of Saban's time. This has caused him to lose focus plus his wife is probably putting that baby ahead of winning football games and making Saban spend more time changing diapers and not enough time with the defense & the DB's. We should demand they ignore the baby and get back to what's important in life, football.
