We were out-played, out-coached, out-prepared, and out-focused in every part of the game. We got our asses handed to us for 60 minutes. Alabama was the better team and they deserved to win. There was no QB on our team good enough to win that game for us.

Agreed.

Those blaming JJ for it all are clueless football fans IMO.

So why didn't we just kneel the ball from the start of the second half?

I agree with this. I still strongly think Lee should have been given a chance in the 3rd quarter, but I honestly don't believe it would have made any difference. Their D Line ate our O Line for lunch, and changing out QBs wouldn't have changed that.

stick to reading the back of cereal boxes.

This same shite would had been posted if JJ started and lost to Oregon or WV.

The truth is we don't know that cause Lee never got a chance.

Could we have maybe looked like a football team that was prepared to observe and assess our opponent in-game and attempt to execute offensive plays that might help to defeat them?

With the playcallng and overall team preperation, we didn't stand a chance.

Lee still deserved to take that chance at some pont, however.

Guess you'll never admit you were wrong. It's okay, JJ is gone and next year y'all can suck off JR.

While I agree that the Tigers did not have their minds right for whatever reason, it's still wrong, IMO, that Lee did not get the opportunity to perform on that stage. No one on the team deserved it more than he.

Any improvement over a bad qb would have helped. Geez, Bama's defense wasn't that great. But JJ was that bad.

We will never know how JLee would have done because Miles was too stubborn or afraid or on drugs to do so.

JJ WAS the offense.. He was responsible for over 70% of all the plays.. Who am I supposed to blame? Ware who touched the ball 3 times to JJ's 14? How many turnovers did Hilliard have?

JJ fumbled 3 times and had the worst INT I have ever seen in my life.. Instead of running for 20+ yards he threw the ball at his blocker.

THEN he comes on the air and has the fricking nerve to claim he played a good game? You cant make this shite up. He played the worst game I have ever seen any QB have in a Tiger Uniform then claims to have made the right choices?


You blame the defense who was on the field for 3/4 of the game due to JJs inability to get a 1st down on one of his 31 out of 44 JJ plays? they held Bama to FGs all game long until they just wore down. We were still in the fricking game in the 4th qtr IF we would have made some change. You blame our special teams? Who had one bad punt? Yea you can certainly blame coached but hey they are told how great JJ is (BY JJ) so what else should they believe?

Agreed. First and foremost, Bama had a great game plan, and every single Bama player executed it well. Frankly, we'd have needed a Tebow or a Colt McCoy behind center to move our offense against their D.

That said, we had nothing to lose by putting in JL for at least a series sometime in the early second half. I seriously doubt the results would've been much better—I think he'd have gotten his head torn off by Bama—but .... we'll never know.

If you honestly believe that JJ wasn't the instigator of the embarrassing performance we put on last night, you're clueless. It isn't his fault though; he shouldn't have been on the field.

I'm so proud of our defense. Tbey were exhausted but kept fighting Alabama. If we had anything resembling an offense, we might have had a chance.

That's the problem, we will never know. Would it hurt to start JL in the 3rd quarter just to see if he can move the offense. We were only down by 2 scores. If JL falls flat, at least, at the very least, we knew for sure it was not our night to win.

bullshite. The D played it's fricking arse off, and if we had played offense, that game would have been neck and neck down to the wire. Bama had a masterful gameplan for JJ and he clearly was incapable of doing anything. If JL had been given an opportunity and completed anything down field, they would have had to stop cheating up so much. Who knows who would have won, but the threat of a passing attack that JL might have given would have made it a much much different game.

Sorry but QB was the major factor in our loss. Spin it however you want. If people want to give JJ credit for winning the first game the pissed off fans can sure as hell put the blame squarely on his incompetent shoulders for this game. You talk like Lee was some scrub. He had one bad game this year and many good games. We would not of beat Oregon or WV with Jefferson leading this team.

I agree we were outplayed, but the real issue is that the Bama offense didn't make any mistakes. A TM7 interception return for a TD, and Bama starts playing differently--leading to more mistakes and more defensive points. As it was, Bama never had to stray from their original game plan.

Also, JJ is an awful sack of shite QB who should have been pulled after he dropped the snap on the opening play...

The 13-0 and #1 team in the country was the ONLY team to be shutout this season by Alabama, and the only team in the history of the BCS National Champuonship game to ever be shutout.

I really don't care to hear Capt Crunch's excuse on that debacle of epic proportions right now.

I don't mind losing to the better team (Alabama) but I do mind being embarassed on national telivision like we were embarassed last night.
