If we start off strong next season, will the Media still bring up the December Swoon?

Heres the thing that noone wants to admit - while painful, ESPN was right about almost every single criticism they made against us.

1) We lose more close games than we win.
2) Weve been known choke late in the year.
3) We dont play well in the cold.

All extremely frustrating to hear, and all true in the Wanny era. Hopefully, Nick will change that perception.

1 and 2- I think the new coaching staff and new attitude will change these for the better.

3- This year we really only have 1, maybe 2 "cold games" - NE last week, and Cleaveland 11/20.

imagine if we went 2-2 in every month(except januarys only game, 1-0) we would of gone 9-7 same record as the bills who just missed the playoffs

Did you read many mock drafts this last year. All you need to see is all of the mock drafts saying we need a back for our "ball controlled offense" to answer your question. Until we show them different, we're still the wad ball late season can't play in the cold losers.

Don't they always bring it up? Probably say something about Saban and if he has given the program a new mental toughness to get through december.

:yeahthat: I also think that Saban will change that perception, because we haven't always sucked in winter.

It'll be brought up over and over again untill we win constantly. I'm sick of hearing it though.
