Receivers: F. How many more times are we going to see our guys drop passes that hit both hands? I want to call out specific players but don't have to for anyone reading this, you and they already know who I am intimating.
The returning receivers with the dropsies should carry the ball with them everywhere they go until next season. This is what you do, get it done.

Everyone calling for Bobo. Not going to happen. Bobo is not going to take a OC position where he knows he will be second guessed and overruled by CKS. Who is going to sit CKS down and explain what a CEO does and what role he must play. If he does not, then CKS should save a lot of the 7 million each year for the remaining years (or year) he is here.
One more thought. Coley was wanted by Fisher at TEXAS A&M. If he is that poor a OC, why would Fisher want him. Maybe to much micro management from CKS.

Mike, I think your grades were too generous especially for the offense. There were a few dropped passes but Jake was way off more than anything. The offense and the offensive staff earned a FAILING grade.
It is obvious that Coach Smart decided on the wrong guy for quarterback-Justin Fields is the much better choice. The decision to go with Fromm instead of Justin Fields will haunt Kirby and UGA for years to come. Why could the OSU coaches see Justins upside and develop him and Coach Smart the UGA coaching staff could not? I’m sure prospective Dual Threat QBs saw that mishandling of Fields and will and should avoid UGA.
Oh well, the milk is spilled so no since in crying. Coach Smart talked about player development at times, well I hope the mishandling of Fields, the beating UGA just got from LSU and the negative reputation of UGA by elite high school offensive players will cause Coach Smart to develop in all areas. I hope he asks himself why could OSU make Justin Fields a superstar and I could not? What were the elite talent that Fromm has that I thought make him better than Fields?

This team is fine. Fromm lost that game. The carefree approach he had two years ago ended that season. He has pressed and pressed to the point that he paralyzes himself with anxiety. CKS even talked about that pre-game. The early drops were huge and Landers lost all three 50/50 balls - all contributed to make Fromm press even more.
I'm worried about the team not showing up for the bowl game again and hurting recruiting. Also worried that Fromm knows he won't get drafted and decides to stay.

Bleacher Report smashing us again this morning....don't disagree with a lot of what is said in the article.
Bottom line: Dawgs can't ever seem to finish the drill. It's always an excuse. Offensive mindset and philosophy needs an overhaul.
" GEORGIA STILL SINGING THE SAME SAD REFRAIN SINCE 1980...
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart has recruited enough star prospects to outfit a championship team, but the Bulldogs are still struggling to get over that hump.
Several times since winning it all in 1980, the Bulldogs have played in games where winning would mean a title or a shot at one. They just can't seem to show up the majority of the time.
There's nothing wrong with getting torched by Burrow; every other Tigers opponent has this year. But the biggest disappointment for Georgia in another strong season has been the James Coley experiment at offensive coordinator. For whatever reason, the offense has taken a giant step back....
Georgia's receiving corps was the team's weakness all season, and it was dealt a blow when senior transfer Lawrence Cager was lost for the year in late November to an ankle injury. Against LSU, freshman Dominick Blaylock went down with a non-contact leg injury that looked bad.
It's not all Coley's fault, but the lack of development on that side of the ball is alarming, especially considering the elite talent at every position and the future NFL players on the offensive line. This is the kind of season that makes head coaches go a different direction at coordinator."
Kirby has a better record against Top 25 teams than Richt in his first 4 years. However, I'm still not convinced CKS can get us all the way to the promised land. Close is only good enough in horseshoes and hand grenades.

My, my... all those 4 and 5 star recruits at Georgia, and we're *still* 27 points worse than LSU? Yeah, yeah, LSU historic offense, blah blah blah. We should still have been able to make a game of it. Thanks Coach Smart for making Georgia football the laughingstock of elite-wannabes. Now, in addition to "Georgia-ing" we can add "The Georgia Way" to the college football lexicon of squandering your resources and having players show up small in big games.
Steve Spurrier's jabs at UGA and Ray Goof about what happens to all that talent once they get to Georgia are even more applicable today than in the 90's. This coaching staff can sure recruit, but they're total garbage after that. Our last national championship feels like it was in the black-and-white era, and our offensive scheme feels practically Jurassic in terms of its applicability to the modern game.
Can we apply for membership in the ACC? Nevermind- it wouldn't do us any good. Clemson sails through a cupcake schedule with one close call, and we can't even escape a watered-down SEC East without a mind-boggling upset. But after getting through their cupcake schedule, what does Clemson do? They show up for big games! Maybe not every CFP, but **** sure enough to beat Alabama for the natty TWICE. I friggin' hate that team, but **** I gotta hand it to 'em they know how to show up when they have to.
But not Georgia. Nope. It's ok Dawgs fans- at least we can proudly proclaim we're SEC East Champs again!

Losing to a average at best South Carolina team was pretty sad. Not showing up against LSU in the SECCG is inexcusable. Looks like Mark Richt syndrome is back in full swing. Maybe someone needs to question the coaching talent.

Everyone talks about drops, BUT if the throws were accurate and kept the receivers upright and in-stride it might be different. Simmons dropped his ball but it was thrown short after he had beat his man. Same thing for the throw to D-ROB. Fromm HAS TO GO!! If Stetson Bennett was given first team reps all week, Georgia would have scored at least 17.

Okay folks, we do not need to kill ourselves over this loss. LSU is a **** good team and we knew it going in. Burrow had a 70 something completion percentage going into the game and that's exactly what he delivered against us. No surprise. If anything, what we need is an open competition for the starting QB next year. We can't go into the season with the default that Fromm is going to start. After thinking about the last two seasons, here are a couple of observations I have made about the QB position:
- Kirby did not want to have a QB controversy last year with Justin Fields. That is why Kirby would only give him a play here and there and not an entire series (except in mop-up duty where he basically handed off). If he had given him a complete series to run the offense, the fans would have been clamoring to make him the starter and Kirby did not want that. As a true freshman, he still had a lot to learn about the offense but his pure talent could not be denied.
- Fields benefited immensely from his one year at GA. He is a much more mature and polished QB for the year he spent in Athens and unfortunately, OSU is reaping the rewards of it, not us.
- Fromm spent too much time in the weight room this off-season trying to increase his arm strength and that has resulted in his struggles with accuracy this season.
- Fromm is slow and short. Compared to Burrow, he looked like he was running in mud on an artificial surface. He does not read defenses as well as advertised and his game management skills are average at best. He is also deathly scared to keep the ball on a option fakes and the defense doesn't have to honor the fake because he NEVER keeps the ball.
- Fromm did not have a Wimms or Holloman to bail him out on the deep ball this year and it really hurt. Watching Simmons drop the first pass of the game was both a summation of the season as well as a foreshadowing of how the game would go.
So in conclusion, as Kirby has said repeatedly (but needs to mean this time) GA needs an open competition at all positions next fall and none more important than the QB. Along the O-line, every position should be up for grabs (esp. center). Finally the skill positions including RB and WR need to be wide open. The defense has some great players coming back. That side of the ball will take care of itself.

If Blaylock's injury is an ACL and requires a year of rehab, it's difficult to find where the offense is going to come from next season with Swift out the door. We have proven this year that having only one consistent threat on the outside is a recipe for disaster!

Another season and more excuses why we came up short....AGAIN. Bama AND LSU now own us.
We've got so many holes in this program that I don't know where to start. Coaching, players, potential transfers, recruiting...all will be affected by the results of this season. We're going to have to basically start over and revamp our offense to something much more dynamic if we want to play with the big boys again. Fromm needs to move on.
Next season opens with Virginia and then Bama 2 weeks later. Kirby's got a LOT to do in the off-season. Let's win our 2nd tier bowl game and finish the season on a higher note than last year against Texas.
GO DAWGS!

I mean I don't think the sky is falling for the program, but let's face it. The team this year just isn't very good. And we likely overachieved.

When you run a middle school offense against a Lamborghini team it’s not going to work out well. Coaching, coaching, coaching! With our recruiting we should have at least a couple NC’s in the last 20 years, but all this talent has been wasted because of hard headed or lack of understanding coaching. We just want one NC sometime soon but it seems so far away.

As I said before, there are about 128 FBS teams out there with 124 wishing they had our roster. Yes, we had injuries (mostly on offense) and yes, Burrows is a stud, no question, but to give up 467 yards of offense - we were not even competitive. Just how many 5 star players does Kirby need?

Ya know.... I’ve been wondering something all year as well. What is Kirby preaching all the time about his receivers.... physicality right? Well Hines ward, the most physical receiver while playing in the nfl has been begging for a job here at Georgia, why is he not here? Our receivers can’t get any worse! They all looked like Martrez Milner.

Enough of Georgia not having enough WR talent, heard it all year. Pretty sure UGA has two 5-Star players starting and some considered Blaylock a 5 as well. Also pretty sure only one other team had a more highly recruited WR lineup. Amazing they didn’t look good trying to do something they haven’t done all year in passing the ball. Fromm is the weak link and everyone sees it. It’s the style and system that is in place that delivered tonight. Works good against most other teams but not the elite. I like Fromm but he’s only good at best. No where close to NFL talent.

UGA's Defense was supposed to be a match with LSU's Offense. Both ranked #2 nationally in the respective categories..so much for statistics

Secondary..F-.. 75% completion rate, 350 yards, 4 TD`s.. Pass efficiency rating was so high because DAWGS faced not 1 QB during the season with half of Burrows abilities..
