re: Did Alabama outplay LSU ? Every Bama fan I talk to says this.

Dude, I sat through that empty stadium in the 90's. I think I know what a true fan is. That's doesn't mean I can't see reality and move on with my life.
Seems you're struggling with it. You seem to consider a 50 yard field goal a gimme and simply a missed opportunity. The guy could barely even get the ball to the crossbar.

Attempts? Why you worried about field goal attempts but discount redzone opportunities?
Easy. You are disregarding Alabama's plethora of FG attempts on one hand which easily determined the game, THEN turn around and bark about LSU's failed Red Zone opportunities as if zero points mean more to LSU than BAMA.

im not serious,
Saban going for all those kicks so early with a shaky kicker to begin with tells you something, he wanted to put up as many points as he could because we were stuffing TR and he knew he could not pass on us. When TR gets under 100 yards I almost want to call that dominating, who cares what the score was that stat is the win.

Who cares? No TDs were scored. It was a game of field goals and Alabama had more shots at making them than LSU did. How hard is that to understand? This is coming from an LSU fan. What does it matter if Bama played better than LSU to A POINT? It doesn't, because THEY DIDN'T WIN.
Seriously, if you have a kicker who has a snowball's chance on a beach in Rio from 49 or 50 yards out, that is not at scoring opportunity or shot a scoring. The fact that Saban was dumb enough to try a unmakeable field goal doesn't make it a shot.

Not disregarding at all. They had attempts without the personnel to make those attempts even a realistic reality. Therefore, it's not really a missed opportunity as much as it becomes a stupid coaching decision on Saban's part.

No, I was simply drawing light to how amazingly stupid your logic was by bringing up our missed opportunities. You seem to think one is more important than the other. At the end of the day, being in the redzone once all game isn't outplaying anyone.

Distance wasn't the issue. The issue was shanking them right.

We weren't stuffing Trent when Alabama tried those first three field goal attempts. Their offense looked pretty decent in the first half.

Au contraire. A blocked punt, that probably wouldn't have made the distance anyway, and there was at least one, if not two others that were short as well as wide.

He was a career 86% kicker from 40-49 yards coming into the game. Yes, that's right...86%. At home. 49 was his max in game. I think it was a reasonable assumption.

Oh I see, I should have realized this was the case on the first page of this thread. Nothing to see here folks, another jaded Saban lover unable to confront the coaching reality that was November 5.

This. Bama was cruising pretty good in the first quarter. Their biggest problem was Saban and his conservative nature in big games.

So are you denying that's true. Please tell me you are so I know not to waste anymore time trying to have an intelligent conversation with you.
ETA: You may wanna read the post above this before calling me a Saban lover to make yourself feel better.

Well Miles should have tried kicking more field goals instead of doing the smart thing and punting to make them drive the whole field. See we didn't use this oppurtunities if you want to play that game. Our main offensive weapon that had us averaging high scores every game crapped the bed and miles as a smart coach decided to take less chances and rely on Defense and special teams to keep the game close. He could have put JLee back in and tried to force the throw like saban forcing the field goals. RR missed catch in the endzone! Shepard under thrown ball while wide open for TD?!! And before the half Miles could have went for a Touchdown instead of taking the sure close in their red zone field goal to tie it up!!! What about the block in the back on Ware that brought their interception back, and I say to you what about ODBJ's return to that Tyrann's penalty brought back. It's all field position. Sorry that is my Rant. And this was in their house.

Guess he shouldn't have tried that 52 yarder then.
His long his freshman year was 49 yards. He was 7-9 on the year.
This year, he had missed from 53 against kent st., 53 against Ole Miss, and his first make of the year was against Tenn for 45 yards. His second, against us. HE HAD MADE ONE FIELD GOAL ALL YEAR PRIOR TO THE LSU GAME. ONE.
Yeah this dude is fricking awesome dude.

No, now I just understand your angle. Jilted lover syndrome.

I bet you are better than him. I bet you could do it.

Now I understand you can't read as I have taken two blatant shots at Saban in this very thread. I guess you missed those two posts when you were obsessing over my posting history.

Is this really what I'm dealing with? Now it's up to me to be able to kick field goals in order to make you look foolish? I better not see you question anything on the football field then, because if you can't do it, I don't want to hear it.
Sorry if your argument just got blown up in your face. You might be the dumbest poster I've been around on this board in a long long time. And that's saying something.
