@UGA66...Couldn't agree more. I mean how do we lay such a BIG egg in the SEC Championship??? How is that possible? I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, and yes, I am concerned on both sides of the ball. Really concerned that we fell that far in a single week. No sacks, minimal pass rush, interceptions, false starts at the goal line, miscommunication between receivers and Stet, 3/12 on 3rd downs (has been an issue all year), dropped balls, easy completions by Young, etc.
Maybe we just aren't Championship material. We're definitely not as good as we thought.
People may want to gloss over our issues, but we've got to seriously evaluate what the heck happened. And honestly, how do you prevent it happening again?
Thanks...I am with you MontanaDawg.....always enjoy your insight. I cannot believe UGA simply crumbled under Bama pressure. Zone? Bennett third down in the red zone...almost zip? What is going on? Kelee Ringo was simply out run..not the first time this has happened. Young completed passes with no red jersys in sight?
This lump from a 12-0 SEC team? UGA game plan way off mark. Did not take Bama seriously.
@BigMike...I agree with you Mike, but the secondary is just one of several problems that raised its head on Saturday.
Why couldn't we score near enough points against a Bama defense that struggled against numerous teams this season?
Why couldn't our defense get a single sack against a porous Bama O-line that gave up 7 sacks against Auburn a week earlier? 36 sacks against Bama this season and we couldn't get one. Holy cow.
We got beat on both sides of the ball. We got embarrassed. We've got a lot of things to fix.
@BigMike you make some good points but my gosh, this was game #13. Derion Kendrick is a veteran DB, from a strong program, no less. And by now, Ringo should be approaching veteran status. He's either elite, or he's not. These same Bama receivers played against LSU's 3rd and 4th string DB's (due to injuries) and they didn't run through and around them like they did our secondary. At some point, we've got to quit saying our guys are too young or too inexperienced. They just flat got beat. Which brings me to my overarching question that I've asked elsewhere: Is it possible, despite our "generational defense" and 12-0 record coming into the SECCG, that the 2021 Alabama Crimson Tide is just a BETTER TEAM than the 2021 Georgia Bulldogs? Hmmm!!!
I suppose the good thing is that we were never going to beat BAMA twice within 4 weeks. If we had to lose one, we lost the right one. I doubt seriously BAMA can get up again, like they did the first time. they felt disrespected by the press. Same way with Auburn when they beat us so easily there and there was no way they were going to be that up against us in the SECC game, they had to have been over-confident. No matter what they say, if BAMA gets by Cincy (they will show up) then they will be overconfident because they did pretty much everything right against us. How could they not be? It's human nature.
just win, no more being the band director, no more jumping in the stands, just win,
