Play calling has been atrocious. But we had no chance with 4 of 5 starting Ol out and all these defensive players out. Picou is even in there at DT
 
We just weren't ready for this game. If we're healthy in Atlanta it'll be a different game. We may not win still, but will be a lot better than this
 
If we get some players back, it will be a totally different game. They are playing are second and third team right now. Back away from the cliff.

If we had all our players they are still way too much for us. If we were even talent wise we would still have a huge coaching deficiency.
 
Let's be real, any of us would've taken 2-2 the last 4 games and finishing 10-2. That's likely where we're headed. We were battered by injuries and ran into a great team at the end of a tough stretch.

Major bummer but not shocking. That team is stacked and our backups and third string players just weren't fast or strong enough to compete. Thank god we have a bye week.

Last year, when healthy, we almost beat them. I am going to remember that if we manage to find our way into the SEC championship (healthy)
 
I'm over it. It's what I and most reasonable people expected, just a bit worse. The injury situation set us up for an embarrassment. Playing bama every year is pretty sh****.

The question is

1) Can we get back enough players to be good enough to win out and win the East? One more SEC loss and we lose.

2) How bad will this hurt recruiting? This was supposed to be a huge day

3) Will this team fold under the stress and disappointment? I hope we are mentally tough

All three are major concerns.
 
Silver Lining. The only thing going for us in recruiting is the injuries. 7 of 18 starters out and a lot of true freshmen playing against Bama.

Butch can sell the injuries as the reason us not performing and hopefully sell the recruits on opportunity.
 
This might be an unpopular opinion but I think the injuries are due to not hitting at full speed during practice. How can they players body get used to the grind if the don't hit during practice
 
If we had all our players they are still way too much for us. If we were even talent wise we would still have a huge coaching deficiency.

This isn't on the coaches at all. Sometimes you are totally outmatched; especially after our tackles went down on top of what we were already missing.
