When you get off the rocking and rolling cruise ship, you may come to realize that Q needs to throw better, o line needs to block better and receivers need to catch better. But keep drinking that contraband vodka.

Is it boring to watch? Maybe, but that's subjective.

Personally, I'm looking more at player execution as opposed to coaching. Im confident they'll work it out.

'Personally' Nick Saban doesn't make time for awaiting better execution, he requires it.  It's a  mandate to be a part of the system.

It's why everyone left 'losing'  is  in his dust arguing lack of player  'execution', the merits of 'trying to not reveal your play book', the challenges of a 'new' coach,  and the rest.    You sound like  bunch a losers looking as  who has to whose forced to lay grasp on the losers trophy.  

Act like a BULL, not someone developing a well rounded line of excuses as to why we're not winning.  

 

Just win.  Period.  That, and leave the excuses to the losing team.

Look. I am not at all impressed with what I have seen from the offense the last two games.  I do agree that the play calling is questionable. However, I have seen worse play calling that resulted in a loss against an fcs team and 2 and 4 win seasons.  

I am just not ready to call for heads and am willing to wait until we get into conference play. I am sure they will make some changes because everyone has a point to prove. Guess I'm running on faith. 

Again, you're pointing out a false equivency- you're the only one 'calling for heads'.  I've only asked for adaptation.

I dunno, you must not have been around when the 2008 season got derailed because our BE all time yards record holding QB tore his ACL because our coaching staff decided to have him go all out against a 1AA Team. 

I am not saying the offense has been good by any stretch, but once it got going we were on average with last year's production in game 1 and there was a mess on the field early in game 2.

It took me a long time to be sold on Flowers.  One thing I remember from his first year, before his first game when people were doubting if was a D1 level QB was his uncle saying don't ever doubt him. He will come through. I believe he will do what needs to be done. 

I did not want him running in the slop. We won. We ran an extremely conservative offense. If they continue to run it and we do enough to win I can live with it.

you're right- offense ran concervative due to the mud.  Blocked punt from the last coupled from the one from this game also related to the mud from this game. Solid reasoning.

Ah yes, demanding excellence. How could I forget.

They did "just win", did they not? So what exactly is the problem here?

In order:

1. Losing in 4th quarter to Stoned Brook

2. blocked punt (2nd in two games)

3. Poor play calling

4. Poor adaptation.

Dm me for numbers 5-26.
