I guess my 2 cents worth of Conjecture is worth as much as anyone else’s, so here goes:
I believe you should dance with the one who brung you. And I’ve watched Kirby and believe there’s some purpose to his seeming madness. Also, I don’t believe that Jake has suddenly forgotten how to read defenses or throw a football.
It’s possible that the play-calling thus far has been part of a misdirection strategy directed at some of the better defenses we’ll be facing from now on out, hoping that it will pay of when we get down to the Tactical. If that’s the case, I hope that when Kirby reaches into that hat, he pulls out the expected rabbit instead of Beetlejuice.
But one thing worries me more than that, and may give the lie to my proposed scenario; It’s our seeming impotence when it comes to 3rd or 4th and short – for Pete’s sake, even Tom Brady can still execute a QB sneak most of the time.🤨
Thr Dawgs are fine. Stop harping on the offense and show love to this defense.you win titles with defense
There's always a reason to be thankful! As for me, I'm thankful that none of the DN writers nor their self-proclaimed gridiron geniuses that comment on the website are coaching my school's football team. For the most part, we lost to SC because a receiver ran a wrong route and the pass was intercepted, a ball hit the receiver in the hands and turned into an interception, and a 50/50 ball wound up in the hands of the wrong 50% for a pick six.
Now the geniuses, both Brandon Adams and those commenting, question the coach's game plan to WIN THE FREAKIN' GAME IN A FREAKIN' DOWNPOUR by not tossing the ball all over the lot for their entertainment when it was not necessary.
Kirby is correct not paying attention to the fans sitting in the deluge booing. It's the big money donors up in the swanky suites dry as a bone sipping wine that have Kirby's back. Kirby is going no where for a long time so those who love to gripe are going to have a lot to gripe about when it comes to the style of play of UGA football. Now, on to Jacksonville to smash some Gators in the mouth for two and a half quarters before thoroughly whipping their behinds the rest of the game!

Hey Brandon Adams , I think D’Andre Swift might have a few words for you.
It's not just a few fringe fans questioning Kirby's decisions when it come to the offensive play calling. People who've covered a lot of college football over the years in the media have expressed the same things. That doesn't happen by accident. I'm as big a Dawg fan as anyone, but Kirby has them playing tentative, tight and almost scared. And this notion that you aren't "real fans" if you express concerns about play selection and a QB who seems to be regressing by the week is nothing but hogwash. UGA has no problem making you pay out the **** for the privilege of watching the game from the well-earned Dooley-Sanford stadium chairs they assign when you reach status, and they sure shouldn't mind hearing gripes about a coach who makes $6+ mill a year who balk's on simple game management timing issues. I hope they put it all together for the Florida game -- I really do. It would be a sight to behold if this team could fire on all cylinders for 4 quarters.
No one wants KIrby to "go anywhere." What we do want is for the offense led by a supposedly "Heisman candidate"(don't hear that anymore do you?) to move the football at least to the otherside of the 50 yardline(when the booing was happening they hadn't done so). THat's all, score some points on a muchless talented opponent, thats all. LIve up to the number 1,2 or 3 recruiting classes we've had recently. THat's all. Or are we asking too much?
You got that right! And the SCjr game was in the daytime.
I'm not so upset that they didn't throw the ball more, it's just that the running plays were downright unimaginative...run up the middle, over and over just like the NC game with Chubb.
Kirby says to keep chopping wood, and that's fine, but if your wood's wet, you need a spark to get it burning. A stack of wet wood does no good without that spark.
I read all your comments and Brandon's excellent accounting of where the Dawgs stand after another less than stellar performance. My question remains: Is this a team that can take down a run and gun offense like Florida? Yes, Florida has its chinks....SC certainly exploited some of them...but can UGA, run no gun, emerge the victor Nov. 2? SC looked strong against Florida and I thought they would beat them. Both teams are well coached. I am just asking.......is UGA capable of coaching that caliber of winner's game as well? I just don't know?
Yea, well what happened in the SC game. Defense was stellar and we still lost.
Fans are fussy, because they want to see the same scores put up by the Dawgs, that the Sooners, LSU Tigers, Clemson Tigers, the Tide, and the Buckeyes are putting up. Maybe we expect too much. 4 and 5 Star high school players sometimes are a total bust, or only a 5 Star on paper. Development and coaching makes a team, raw talent helps, but talent will only take you so far. Kirby has only four years as a HC. Coley is a good RB coach, but is he a good OC coach? The DC coach is in his first year in this position. So the coaching staff is young in experience. The wide receivers are young in experience, and we still don't know how to properly use a Tight End. In a driving rain storm I would target the Tight Ends at least 15 times a game.
