Dawgs’ workmanlike win looks just fine amid numerous big upsets
Saturday’s game was one that Dawgs fans will be talking about for … maybe a day or two?

stop coming out playing like they are on adderol in the first half of every single game, show more excitement on the field, and I think that will help out the home field crowd noise become more enthusiastic.
Carson Beck is still missing passes left and right-this is supposedly Mel Kiper’s #1 QB off the big board for 2025?
I don’t see it yet this season, and if he doesn’t play better, he won’t be and our Dawgs may not even make the playoff.
Eteinne is our MVP thru week 6, even with missing the first game.
Beck needs to step up for an ENTIRE GAME, and stop playing like the guy that couldn’t beat a walk-on QB 2 seasons in a row, to see the field.
I'd say that it was a "forgettable" game and in the grand scheme of things, that's probably a good thing. No exciting domination, but no major drama and I was never worried about Auburn winning and I wasn't screaming at the TV either. It wasn't a Championship-level performance but then again, it wasn't a disaster of a performance.
kirkhilles, "Forgettable"….Amen…..Monday -Wednesday should be exclusively TACKLING 101 with emphasis on hitting with HATE! Thursday - Friday Ball Stripping 101……not that I want to see "Kill Everyone" on our D's eye black but a wee bit more aggression would be just the thing to dissuade our opponents optimism and wishful thinking…..where is the Javon Bullard "HIT SQUAD" this year????
Kirby calling out the fans for not being more enthusiastic sounds too Trumpian for me.. We don't heap praise onto the team unless warranted. Good play is quickly rewarded.

Carson Beck did what he needed to do yesterday to win against Auburn. It's the only game this year where he has led the dawgs to score on the 1st drive of a game. I wished he had gone to the NFL last draft as I don't see him going in the first round in 2025 and I think Gunner Stockton would be a better leader for this team. (Too bad BVG is not still here). In watching the Vandy win against Bama, and the win Alabama had against us, it is clear to me that in order to meet all of our goals (natty), we need to have a QB that not only has a strong arm, but can run. Really run. The Vandy QB extended so many plays against Bama with his legs, it was a masterclass at times, and made the Bama D look silly (kinda like our D looks against Milroe at times). Milroe obviously has done that to us - twice now. Beck is not the answer. I predict Georgia will have a good season. But win it all? Unfortunately, that honor will go to a team that has a QB that can win games with his legs, not just his arm. It's not surprising that our fairly recent natty wins have occurred with a QB with like characteristics.
Georgia definitely needs to get some things worked out or there won’t be any worry about another championship. Unlike the last few years, our quarterback is not going to win games when we need it- at least not the quarterback I’ve seen so far. I was a Beck fan and felt he was going to be a primary reason we could win again but something is wrong and unfortunately we won’t know what until a year or two when some fact will come out that explains what. He’s right- “it is what it is”- and what it is is that he’s either not first round material or something is off. Maybe try throwing to someone other than Smith who still can’t catch- TE’s maybe? They are Top 10 but are playing below their talent level right now, IMO
Go Dawgs
I continue to believe, in spite of some evidence to the contrary, we have the talent to contend for another championship. In addition, I know Kirby's teams tend to develop as the season progresses. We are currently plagued with several highly significant injuries. If and when we can get some of our most important players back, we will be a much better equipped team. I never care about style points and only care about winning the next game by one point. I never give up on our Dawgs!
It's been a very strange season so far, for our team and for many other teams. Witness Saturday's games.
All that said, I have no idea how the 2024 Dawgs will fare as the season progresses. I'm ruling nothing out.
Go, Dawgs!
Lawson Luckie was thrown to 2 times. Result: 1 completion for longest gin of the day for the Dawgs.
London Humphreys was thrown to 2 times. Result: 2 completions, one for 25 yards and one for 15 yards.
Bench Smith. Throw more to Luckie and Humphreys. It ain’t complicated, it’s football.
Whomever is in control of the video board in the stadium should be fired. The point of the video is to show the game not flood it with animated GET Louder and other inane junk. Where are the replays? As far as the game, just another BBO (Boring Bobo Offense) victory against a lesser opponent.
I saw somewhere that UGA averages 3 points in the first quarter going back for some time now. THat really gets the fans pumped. Not to mention that UGA under Kirby has taken somewhat of a workman like /business as usual attitude among the players. This was never more evident than before the BAMA game where the cameras showed the UGA players waiting to come out of the tunnel, standing there with not much excitement . THen the camera panned to the BAMA tunnel and their guys were chanting some type of Hawain war song(kidding of course) but you get my point. I couldn't help thinking ,"these guys are ready to go." Would love to see some passion from the team pregame. It just might lead to some 1st quarter magic and pull the fans in to boot
Went to my daughters college football game about 10 years ago. MUsic was so over the top it hurt my ears. Just constant . No way I pay for that displeasure ever again.
