How do we out recruit the refs?
so hate to admit this but they are just better than we are. Until we get an elite QB and better WRs we will never compete with AL and Clemson no matter how good our D is. It’s official...a good O will always beat a good D. Wake up Kirby!!
No one really believed that Stetston Bennett was the answer did we?
We only play one half a game. We used our one half early.
Can’t win with 3 INT
Even when he makes a completion he’s inaccurate
need to get JT some reps
How bad does JT have to be not to even get a look? Fromm screwed up leaving early. He could have flourished in this offense rather than not even suiting up for Buffalo.
I just want to say, Bama is extremely beatable. I love our defense! If the Refs called even, game would be much different. Enjoy Bama! When we meet in Atlanta in a couple months the story will be much different.
Milton average 7 yards a carry and only got 6 touches.
Definitely a slugfest and I want to commend Georgia on a valiant effort.
Unfortunately (as we'll see from the next 2 weeks of negativity and end-of-the-world comments), the difference between Georgia and Alabama is the QB. Bennett did an impressive job, but this is type of game where you either have an NFL QB or you don't. We didn't, so we are at our limit. We are absolutely a Top 10 team, but we cannot win against Bama nor Clemson. It's just not possible given their offensive talents.
Height may be overrated at QB, but you can't win again and have every pass in the middle battled down and you have to make the big pass pass plays and while Bennett was VERY impressive (all things considered) but he has hit his limit.
Bama hit every-single-pass while we missed a bunch of critical passes and the INTs killed us.
We are so close, but need a change or going to Atlanta won't even matter as we'll lose in the rematch and lose in the playoffs should we get that far. Despite Bennett doing everything he could, we have to give JT a chance to play or that's as far as we go.
We'll see how good Ohio State is this year, but Clemson would pretty easily beat Bama this year (and would slaughter us). Our inexperience at QB finally caught up to us. We laid an egg in the 2nd half and made it too easy for Bama with turnovers.
Give Bama credit they have some unreal receivers. But this game should've been much closer. Georgia had played it to essentially a draw, then the officials let a Tide receiver pull down a GA DB on a TD pass.
Then GA had them stopped in the red-zone and the officials gave Bama another gift with a PI. The GA DB played it perfectly. Didn't matter, Bama got the gift call and they placed it on the 2.
I didn't think GA's offense would be ready, yet for this one. It's just a shame the officials had to blow a good game between two great teams.
How many times did they call holding on a Bama O-line, and with all that pressure GA was getting on the QB. Almost none.
How many PI's did they call on the Bama DB's. Almost none.
Georgia will have to dominate Bama to win by 7. It just ruins the game.
Blame the refs all you want, the fact remains that Kirby has given the offensive keys to a QB who does not have the physical ability to consistently play at this level. And that mistake was evident to anyone willing to pay attention. Mathis was pulled after a few bad series. Bennett has been given 4 games.
Hate to say but not looking favorable for Smart to beat Saban before he retires. We have never been able to cover those freak receivers or get enough pressures on the QB to disrupt their explosiveness. They just reload these receivers year over year, because they made a commitment to that type passing attack. Agree with other post they were just better, they adjusted, and wore us down. Give credit where due.
More traditional teams rarely win a shootout with a high powered offense like that especially when you can’t stop them. Our offense is not designed to compete at that level. What would we put out there against them any different should we play for the SECCG?
The harsh reality is that we could not contain them with this veteran defensive group, and with what we lose after this season, why should we believe we could do so in 2021?
There are positives with new OC Monken in play calling but Kirby must shift recruiting focus more towards developing one of these high powered offenses. Defense no longer wins championships despite the stellar effort.
Same old tired story. Bama is a very good football team. No shame in losing. But it plays like a broken record. Can’t win the big one. Be it not being prepared or always having a fatal flaw, it’s always something. Maybe it’s just a testimony to how hard it is to be a champion. But I’m weary of it. Been a huge Dog fan since the late 1960’s. Attended during the Herschel years. Used to be that an SEC championship or a big bowl win was enough. A 10-2 season was satisfying. Not sure exactly why that changed. But it did. And now it’s just frustration after frustration. Maybe it’s because we have both Clemson and Bama in our own back yard. I don’t know.
I will die a Dog fan. That won’t change But I’m really questioning the emotional and time investment
