when the pressure aint on we win

[CChambers7284]

Look we are 1-6 and we go into Chicago to play the NFCs best team and we wreck them. Guys hitting, running hard, playing what we expect from these guys.

But up until this weeks and maybe the last10 mins of thejest game, this team has had no passion what so ever.

Saban, or somebody needs to get these guys more prepared for games that we should have won or games that could be won.

The Steelers, Bills, Texans, Patriots, Jets, Packers games all could have been won if this team had their heads in the game.

We dont have the talent of a 2-6 team but we have the mental toughness of one. If one thing goes wrong our whole team seems to get depleted. Look at the Patriots game this year. We were down 13-10 against the all mighty pats in foxboro and when the pressure was on to sscore three points we oculdnt move the ball. But when we were down 13-0 we moved the ball incredible.

Yesterday was the first game in which when we were winning or were down by only a small margin early the team really played well and kept the lead.

What we did against the Bears is what we should have been doing all along, run the damn ball. I have faith in the defense but it's our offense that makes me bite my nails.

we ran the ball more because we where ahead a dominating for a change.

The whole teamed just played better yesterday.

i agree now that were pretty much out of the playofff hunt watch us start tearing up the league, thats stupid if u ask me! Thats like in baseball where guys pad stats in blowout games every year but their team never makes it to the postseason. Any1 agree?

I think we finally put a game plan together the right way. Run Ronnie, create turnovers, finish the opponent in the fourth quarter. I think it is a great step that we can build on. :wink:

That's what was said at the end of last season......then Sept came.
I'm happy for this win, but if it's a mirage I'd rather they just reveal themselves for who they are and rebuild.

Yeah, I'm a South Carolina Game**** fan at heart, as well as a fin fan. I have been used to the game****s stinking it up when expectations were high. Anytime the game****s have been ranked in the polls, they always find a way of losing their way out of the polls. The fins are playing the same way right now. We are about to run guys, so be ready for 10-6. Look at what the Steelers have done this season, and the expectations were huge. Someone lit a fire under the fins...it may have been Kuch...it may have been JT...it may have been Saban...whoever did it, it worked this week. It is a great confidence builder for the young guys to beat an undefeated team, and the momentum is going to keep building.

 

[MelbournePhin]

well, we shouldnt have any pressure on us the rest of the way unless we manage to get to 8-6 with two weeks left

 

[tmman]

Just keep giving Ronnie the dam ball

 

[CChambers7284]

yea but ronnie really started up once we had a huge lead. we started off playing the way we have all year. Then once we had the lead saban ran him alot. The Majority of his carries came when we were winning by alot. Saban needs to run him when we r up 3 or down 3. No matter what Joey isnt a good enough QB to carry us without a decent running game.

We didn't make as many mistakes and we were able to manage our mistakes.

It seems like in a lot of the other games the mistakes would trigger an avalanche of more mistakes. The defense would allow big plays & easy scores after the offense turned it over...
