". . . let them beat the hell out of each other daily in practice (competing), then cart them off the field on game day . . . "
This is one of our big problems that not many seem to be talking about. Why do we have so many key players "dinged up" so often? How many other top-tier programs are missing so many of their better players each week?

Our D **** too. I thought with all those 4 and 5 star recruits we would have the depth to handle the situation when our starters go down. But the guys we put in to replace them got torched and obviously weren't coached up and ready to go in.

Kirby’s shine is gone. He’s turned into just another Will Muschamp. He’s earned one more year to get our program out of this three year death spiral of losing big games in a big way. If not, then next coach up. I love Kirby but I can justify this any more.

@Bibb With all due respect. Dawgs were down only 13 with plenty of time to make a comeback. They had the possessions and the D got some stops. The difference is at QB. Even a decent game manager could have kept the offense moving. Instead we had SB4 and Dwan heaving long balls that had no prayer of connecting. And Landers must be a good buddy of Dwan's because he kept throwing to him -- Landers either quits on the route or runs along like he's out for a Sunday jog. This was a MAJOR coaching failure by Kirby Smart. It's up to the head coach to develop QB's and we have NONE that look serviceable. Someone explain that to me. Kirby seems to be a flash in the pan. All show no go.

If you are honest Dawg fans, you (dawg fan) saw this coming; you really did . I'm a Dawg fan and Like you, I may have hoped for better but there was no better to be had. Today's results were not pleasant but were predictable. Until UGA solves its offense it will suffer against Top 5 competition. So, I'm glad the drama of the inevitable offensive and QB "implosion" is over. Who plays what does it really matter anymore for 2020? No. So, I will just chill out and cheer for whoever they put in at QB. I conclude with this: If Dan Mullen is the QB whisperer, what does that make Kirby Smart?

Please don't make losing Cine a "reason". The defense was lost all day. They have to play too much. Just for grins and giggles, the last 3 games in T.O.P.. Defense was on the field for 8, 10 and now 15 minutes more. At this rate kirby, Vanderbilt may have 25 minutes more .
How much longer do you guys think this is going to go on before Ga starts losing recruits?
The difference in qb play and offensive philosophy is the biggest difference. BTW, Fla has the better defense. It's the same defense that Ala has and what LSU had last year. THEY STOP YOU WHEN THEY HAVE TO, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STOP THEIR OFFENSE.
Next week against Mizz, will not be a cake walk. They can throw the ball all over the field too. Is Kirby thinking of bailing out? Is he ready to go back to Ala? I have to wonder. Has he already thrown in the towel this season? If so, just say so. At least then we would know why he is doing the things he does.

Watching Kibys comments post-game, he did say something if importance, “we made our bed”.....should’ve said “I wet the bed when it comes to developing offensive play makers and keeping top QB off the field and letting them transfer”
despite our secondary torched all night on wheel routes, our defensive players generally are developed well
but our receivers can’t separate or run a route at times....and these guys have speed and are high recruits
but the bottom line is, if you don’t have a QB to throw the ball accurately, it’s game over against elite teams. He wants an AJ McCarron game manager when the elite teams are getting playmakerS

5-Star players all over the field, but they can't catch the ball, they can't block, and they can't tackle. Kirby Smart's idea of coaching his players up, must be to let them beat the hell out of each other daily in practice (competing), then cart them off the field on game day, and then yap in front of the cameras about "next man up..."
Kirby is a great recruiter, but is a dinosaur in terms of offensive football. If he doesn't have a Saban-like epiphany about the need to outscore the other team - with great offensive, he will begin a long, spiraling trip to the bottom of the toilet bowl, which is where we will probably wind up this Christmas.

“Quarterback competition in practice” determines who plays? Either our guys look great in practice but can’t play under the pressure of a game, or our coaches can’t evaluate quarterbacks. Which is it, DawgNation? And should we just “wing it” and play JT or Carson Beck? If I were the coach, I’d play one of them....

Sad to say but that's a bet I would agree on..I wouldn't be suprised at all if it happens.

I'm sitting here watching clemson and notre dame play. clemson is running their second string QB and he is playing lights out. Their receivers are dynamic and impressive to watch.
Are we THAT bad at recruiting or is it all coaching? For the life of me, I will never understand the whole SB4 experiment. Good kid, Good Dawg but not an starter for a supposed contender.
And our receivers....you have catches but not a lot after the catch. Yeah, I get they catch on their backs because the quarterback can't hit them in stride but seriously, why is Matt Landers ever even looked at? And does Robertson not even deserve a look more than once per game? And tight ends? That kid transferred from FSU and we had high hopes. Heck, I'd think an arm like Bennett's would thrive on TE passes.
I see absolutely nothing impressive in our offense. If JT really can't play for insurance reasons, as a prior poster said, then why is he even on the bus? I don't believe that story but I've seen Kirby do well in prior years so what the heck is going on? And why was Monken hired? I thought it was to follow LSU's example from last year but that would never happen with Bennett or Mathis running the team. So why is he there?

Utterly embarrassing!! Kirby needs to get his ACE out the offense room and worry about the defense!! And if we find out JT Daniels could really have played Kirby needs to be fired!

I am usually onboard with your reviews and sometimes you even change my mind, but I can't for a minute understand your thought process on this one. I know you view your mindset is not to call out Kirby, you very seldom do it and have a knack for putting it on the players. I usually agree with that, BUT this was your chance to "call it, like you see it". Not bark the party line of all things Kirby Smart
The truthful 3 reasons:
- Kirby not willing to adjust or transition as the game and the season progresses - for the game tonight, no pass rush and getting torched for almost 500 yards; for the season, this is the 2nd time this has happened in 3 games.
- NOT being able to have a qualified D1 QB for a season when you had a defense that was loaded
- Having 4 years of "TOP 4" recruiting classes and only making the playoffs once - coaching as a whole is SUSPECT
Maybe I am concentrating too much on the Coach, but you didn't even mention his name.

Inexplicable coaching debacle!! JT Daniels must either be injured, slow of mind, or just horrible to have not been inserted into this game with 10 minutes left. Beyond that, the discarding of a run game plan to eat clock is just befuddling. If we continue with Stetson or Dwan for the remainder of this season, then we will lose another game. I would rather lose with JT or Carson than to watch this middling offensive performance. But...my bet is that Stetson gets the start next week. Ugh

Any idea why Zamir White had only two more carries in the first half, and only six more total, after the 75-yard run to start the game?
The answer “because Florida loaded the box to stop the run” is inadequate. I don’t care if UF had all 11 players in the box, White needs to get more than SEVEN CARRIES.
Incredibly frustrating. No human being on earth can outsmart themself better than an offensive coordinator at the University of Georgia.

I’m rooting for Ohio St. the rest of year for NC. I want Kirby to see Fields win the Heisman and NC and I hope cries after. Then JT will leave and he has nothing!

We just can't compete with the big boys. We have no good experienced QB, no high scoring offense, and I honestly don't see how we can develop either anytime soon (ie at least a couple of seasons). Our elite #1 defense got manhandled by Bama at full strength and the Gators did as well without Pitts in the 2nd half. Injuries or not, our secondary looked lost out there. I feel like this entire UGA program has taken a step backwards. I also do not think Kirby knows what he is doing with QBs. Fields was a BIG mistake, and I've said that all along.

Dwan had another opportunity to **** the QB position away but outside of the one throw for the TD he was way off on several throws. Two runs for a 1st down were nice but his accuracy was atrocious.

Actually you are very wrong Mike, it goes like this:
- Kirby smart
- kirby smart is way to stubborn
- kirby smart is living in the past offenses

They only out passed us by 300 yards. Welcome to modern day football CKS. But we did outrush them 2 to 1. Half of that was on 1 play though. Hey Jake Fromm beat Fla 3straight years. They way I see it. That bought CKS about 2 more years of coaching if we lose to them the next 2 years. Maybe Trask turns pro? Fingers crossed.

You forgot the biggest key to the loss.. Lack of Coaching should've been #1
