re: Ty Simpson post-game quote

Do you think Ty regrets posing for pics with the hedge clippings after the first Georgia game? I’m sure that disrespect was noted. Stupid is as stupid does.

re: Alabama still -340 to make the playoff.

Maybe he is just disappointed in the effort and calling a spade a spade.
We all want Bama in, but the eye test wasn’t good today on the biggest stage. If they leave us out it will be more deserving than last year in my opinion.

re: Rating Offensive Game Plan, Halftime Adjustment, and Team Toughness/Physicality

If we are to expect 4 losses a year, my argument would be it could be done much cheaper than 11+ million a year.
The finesse shite that worked in the upper Midwest and West Coast won’t cut it in the SEC. It just won’t. Ask AI why Grubb was fired after one year:
“Ryan Grubb was fired from the Seahawks because head coach Mike Macdonald felt their visions for the offense were different, particularly regarding the run-pass balance and overall offensive identity. Key issues included the offense's lack of adaptability, inconsistent performance, and a struggle with the run game, which contributed to the team missing the playoffs.
Reasons for the firing
Different offensive philosophies: Macdonald's vision for the team's offense was different from Grubb's, creating a fundamental disagreement on how the offense should be run.
Lack of adaptability: Some online discussions suggest the offense was inconsistent and lacked creativity, particularly in adjusting play-calling to counter opponent adjustments.
Inconsistent run game: Despite some success, the running game struggled and was not used consistently. This contributed to the offense's predictability and a heavy reliance on passing, even when the running game was working well, say Sports Illustrated and NFL.com.
Struggles in key situations: The offense had issues in the red zone and with long-developing plays that required the quarterback to hold the ball for too long, leaving him vulnerable to pressure.
Team's performance: The Seahawks finished 10-7 but missed the playoffs, which played a role in the decision to change the offensive direction.”
Some of this seems a little familiar, huh?

Rating Offensive Game Plan, Halftime Adjustment, and Team Toughness/Physicality
Posted by Pharmdbamafan on 12/6/25 at 8:36 pm
Seriously, what did we think Georgia would do? Sit back like the first half of the September game? Our offense looked and played scared and weak today. Atrocious game plan. Score: D-
No halftime adjustments were made. Same script for second half. Score:F
The offense’s overall toughness, both mental and physical, is very disappointing. No urgency, dropped passes, missed blocks, negative rushing yards. Score: F
I was a defender of Deboer last year. I defended him this year too. But after now watching us come out today looking like this with no answers, I question his ability to create a team tough enough to consistently win in the SEC.
Too many times now we have come out unprepared and unmotivated to play. You would think halftime arse chewing and adjustments would at least make us competitive, but so far we haven’t seen it in those games. When we are prepared to play and execute well in the first half, we seem unable or unwilling to make offensive adjustments on the fly and end up barely hanging on instead of putting teams away.
Props to the D though. They were consistently put in bad positions and kept playing hard up until the last first down run to end the game. I was wrong about Wommack. That side of the ball has progressively played harder and more physically as the year has gone on.
I see Schumann on the Georgia sideline and think that’s the mentality we need, not the product we have been given. He will get a chance soon and will likely build another defensive juggernaut in the mold of Saban.
Most say Deboer isn’t on the hot seat. I’m not so sure.

They had to know the blitz was coming most of the time. How TF can you be so unprepared and unable to adjust?

In every championship run there has always been a stinker that we didn’t deserve to win, yet found a way to dig deep and prevail.

The running clock rule change was supposed to shorten games. All it did was add 45 min of commercials.

He was saving this one from watching years of Kirby/Saban defenses lose the back sneaking out. Terrific call.
re: Is Ryan Williams really the fourth best wide receiver on this team?
Posted by Pharmdbamafan on 9/7/25 at 12:54 pm to Tide Groupee
If he catches the balls he dropped or juggled, he doesn’t take hits or get concussed.
Catch the friggin ball.
People saying he shouldn’t be in slot don’t know shite about anything. You move people around to create matchup problems. Williams has to pull his head out of his arse and toughen up.
Otherwise, there are younger players who will gladly step in.

re: DeBoer stat that shows how bad it is
Posted by Pharmdbamafan on 8/30/25 at 7:42 pm to JIB
People forget how much the culture and effort had changed in Saban’s last few years. A kinder, gentler Saban had adjusted to the NIL era the best he could, but it was obvious things wouldn’t be the same.
Recruiting highly ranked egos who could transfer without penalty at any moment all while making millions of dollars was no longer compatible with the process.
Deboer might not be the guy, but he is still dealing with many of those egos. He will get 2 years to bring in what he needs via recruiting or portal. After that, if the product on the field still looks this listless, his seat will definitely get warm.

NIL needs to be somehow tied to effort and stupid penalties.
No hustle, no urgency, no discipline. No check.
