3 takeaways from Georgia's 21-0 win, some reminders for booing fans
Georgia football is playing defense at a championship level, but some fans are booing too much to take note or realize he offense is being called accordingly
Comments
Thanks, Mike. While you can be a bit pollyanna-ish, you are far more on point than all the doom and gloom loonies who've crawled out of their caves in the past few weeks.
Finally, some perspective!!! I'll back away from the cliff now!
All those booing "fans" were ecstatic when UGA signed those massive lineman to open holes for the Running Backs..
I agree with most of what you said. However, I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that our big bruising team with "arguably the best offensive line in the country" cant, ever, in any circumstance make a fourth and one. That is pathetic.
Rumor has it that Fromm has a bad case of tendinitis and can't throw downfield. This is supposedly a "secret", so mums the word.
Also, another rumor has it that Pittman had to step in and "assist" with playcalling late in the 2nd half, and that's when we started to see the outside runs that actually worked.
Oh, and Mike Bobo supposedly already has one foot in the door as our next OC after Colorado State cans him.
Great article @MikeGriffith. It was very much needed.
The boos were directed at the predictable play calling of Coley and his run up the middle, rinse and repeat. The boos were towards the endless lip service from Kirby and empty promises of how the offense is going to stretch the field more, and become more creative .
every reasonable fan can feel the anxiety building up for the cocktail party in 2 weeks because FL defense has the personal even more so than the chickens to expose our predictable offense...and for the first time Grantham may actually stop us.
so as much as the boos can be misleading towards the players.....and I can see why that would be frustrating and feeling not supported by the fans....the natives are getting restless with coley’s run, run, pass playbook. It’s been simmering since Vandy
Please prove us wrong in Jax!
When we Dawg fans and alum invest our money ,, heart and souls in the Dawgs year after year, we have every right to boo a subpar performance. To the ones making wise cracks about fans having never played football , most of us never played a musical instrument either but we do recognize good music when we hear it .
Save the Boo's for Dan Quinn and the Atlanta "Beakless" Falcons. With two weeks to get ready for the swamp lizards & Nov, the Dawgs will be fine. Not quite sure what everyone was expecting Sat night in Athens, but with 25-30 mph winds & 2+ inches of rain during the game, it was nice to get in the locker room with a win and no new injuries.
With the exception of the first two scoring drives, the Dawgs avg series started around their own 15 & with Fromm having to wait for receivers to make their move, any attempt to open it up could have been disastrous. Even KY opted to leave their passing QB on the bench. Also that last 92 yard scoring drive was a thing of beauty that allowed the Dawgs to basically run out the clock & put the game on ice. It's the exact type of drive Georgia will need to make several times the remainder of the season.
GO DAWGS!!!!
That playcalling deserved to be booed. We hadn't run the ball off-tackle all year until halfway through the third quarter vs Kentucky. As soon as we started going off-tackle, lo and behold, we started marching the ball downfield. Go figure.
THe game I watched I saw fans standing in a deluge cheering their hearts out for their team only to see the coaches decide to run the ball and give up on a 3rd and 10. Even the announcers mentioned it. NOt even going to attempt a pass. And that was after two runs up the middle for no yardage. Hey it worked out in the end, no thanks to the offense who couldn't cross the 50 until Kentucky shanked a punt. THink about that one. Fans booing decision makers not the players and anyone who says otherwise is just trying to gain hits on their column.
The takeaway? The Dawgs are in trouble....The Florida, A&M and Auburn games will tell the story.....Because of their D I think the Dawgs can win all of these games...But they could very easily lose all of them.......Georgia made the Kentucky defense look top ten...In any case what if Georgia wins all of these games and goes into the playoffs...Right now they simply can't compete against Alabama....Just a word on the booing.....Some of these people pay five figures just for the opportunity to buy season tickets. they have the right to do what they want....I will say that I see a higher level of stupidity among the Georgia fan base....On the first drive Georgia had 4th down on their own 34 and the crowd was booing because they would not go for it....I mean really? I thought these people were suppose to know football...it sounds like they have more money then sense
Excellent points Mike. It is disappointing to read doom and gloom comments from those who think they have all the answers.
It's simple. If we can't throw the ball down the field we are not going to like the rest of the season very much. The fans know this. Even the ones that won't admit to it.
Regarding Pittman, I saw him with the headset on and fully engaged with the players.
Maybe it was the rain, but I don't remember ever seeing him on the SL like that.
Mike Bobo is really taking a lot of criticism right now, so it wouldn't surprise me if he is gone at CSU.
I guess the tendinitis is as good of an explanation as any...with the QBs going to the NFL after this season, I just don't see Fromm leaving until after his senior season.
