So frustrating...

The season was going so well, offense and defense was in sync and playing great. Then the injury bug comes back and bites us square in the ass. On a long pass into the end zone, Tyrone Prothro breaks both bones in his leg, very grusomely I have to add. It actually made me sick to see it happen. That itself caused many problems with the offense, the opposing defense didn't have to respect the receivers as well and could rush the quarterback more.

So, the next few games went well, games were won but not nearly as easily as before. Then the injury bug hits us again, but this time square in the nuts. The only senior on the offensive line, J.B. Closner broke his leg. Now, we have another senior on the offensive line but he has never started a game before. Thus, no experience other than on the practice squad.

Then we lose to LSU, which we were leading at halftime 10-0, in overtime. Okay, sometimes luck runs against you. The defense was doing what they were supposed to, they had flushed the QB out of the pocket and made him scramble. But, the secondary didn't stay tightly covering their receivers and thus we get beat. Thats how the game goes. Well, we then travel to Auburn. Expecting a good game, but the offense was never there in the first quarter. The offensive line was horrible. Dave Radar you seriously have problems if you cannot adjust to situations like that. We could have replaced him at offensive coordinator with my 16 year old cousin, Brittany, and had just as good of chance to move the ball and score. Also, the receivers kept dropping passes. We could have put away LSU in the third quarter except for the dropped passes. Again against Auburn, we dropped a lot of passes, granted Brodie didn't get to throw too many considering the offensive line allowed him to be put on his ass all game.

I think 10 of the 11 sacks they had on us was in 3rd and long situations. Well, one thing you learn when you hang around the SEC and football in general is that on obvious passing downs, expect a blitz most likely from the outside. What does a good offensive coordinator do to slow the rush down? Throw screen passes and run draw plays. What did we do? Not a damn thing. I have been critical of Dave Radar before, however those days were previous to this blog. In addition, 'bama is in need of a good punter, if you find one please send him towards Tuscaloosa. Its so frustrating to know that your team is the better of the two, but they didn't execute to their potential nor did the play calling reflect the team.

Well, once again ole Jack Thomson is yelling about something. This time he is irate about the bad reviews he is receiving on Amazon.com. Mr. Thompson, if you weren't such a dooshe, maybe you wouldn't an entire genre of people pointing out how stupid you are. I dislike lawyers enough as it is, he just makes it much easier to hate them.
