    Right JimmyBob: Kirby is infallible, to ye who worship him. I'll give you one thing, he is definitely the king of under-achieving and making excuses. The #5 team in the country (seriously?) just scored 14 points against an unranked opponent they've now beaten 11 years in a row. And I'd be careful with the unsupported crap you sling at JT Daniels. UGA is going to need him if they're going to come even close to beating Alabama, assuming they get that far.

    Even Vanderbilt scored 21, and they have been averaging 8. I don't think JimmyBob was thrashing JT. But more if he's hurt just admit it. But I do think that because CKS doesn't say he is still hurt, then to me he is overrated. A 5* that can't beat out a walk on? You are right CKS is a huge underachieving coach. Take today, Alabama was up 20-0 at State's 40 or so. Was 4th and 1, and Saban goes for it. Didn't make it, but he is the picture of coaching to win. While Kirby is the picture of coaching not to lose.

    @MikeGriffith does need to stop throwing shade on the backs. I don't care if they break runs for 30 yards or more. I would rather get 7-10 yards each run. That is demoralizing. Breaking a 60 yard td run, is more than likely just a missed tackle. When they put 8 men in the box, you better be throwing the ball on every play until they back up again. But my complaints today are many, but if just wanted to run, why not put a better running qb in.

    Ga is about to play another team that is in the top 20 in offense, let's see how the defense does. Against everyone else, minus Alabama, the best offensive team is probably around 50th or so, maybe even worse. The offense as of now, is just pure garbage.

    Well, I'm over it. It could've been worse. At least we got a Win + SEC Win + Away and some rest for a couple of our injured guys. Tough that we had those new injuries.

    The problem is that Smart is like the kid that will study his butt off to get a 'B' on a very tough class/test but then doesn't spend 5 minutes studying for that laughably easy class and winds up with a B.

    So, this was our easy class. With plenty of time to "study", we got our B-. I'm not sure we brought more than one QB. You would THINK that we'd want to get a huge lead, because once you do... then, guess what? You can put in your backups and not risk starters before our biggest game of the year. You would think that you'd give your 2nd and 3rd QBs a chance to get some game experience.

    Sigh. Oh well. Next week won't be as bad as people fear. Smart will bring up to the level.

    This is what he gets for letting Fields go. I'm watching him now mastermind against Penn St. If we had him now with or defense we are talking very good chance of Natty. Shame on on you Kirby.

    Looking at Trask pick Missouri apart. We will not outscore them with Bennett at QB. Going to be a wasted season.

  • UGA66UGA66 Posts: 4,316 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Well, unless Bennett has an epiphany along with Kirby...you can kiss the FL game good bye and the SEC East. I really worry about Mizzo now, they beat KY sort of going away.

    Hey guys LeCounte received a concussion and bruised rib in a car wreck after the game today. BAD news, really bad news. I doubt he will play against FL....! What next??

    I like Bennett, but his leash has to be getting shorter. This type of game after a bye week is not encouraging. He was staring down the receiver on the first interception and should have realized the lineman was in the way. The second interception may be the fault of a receiver who didn’t keep going, but Stet was staring him down also. EDIT: Just listened to Bennett’s interview where he claimed he was just trying to throw the ball away. He may be covering for his receiver, but if he really was trying to just get rid of it, it’s a truly horrendous pass. He could have easily sailed it over the receiver’s head out of bounds instead of throwing it along the sideline.

    In fairness to Bennett, though, the run-heavy scheme didn’t let him get as much opportunity passing as he could have, and 9 for 13 isn’t bad. The interceptions concern me, though. I just hope our backup is ready when needed.

    Who in their right mind believes that even if Fields had stayed at UGA he would have developed like he has at Ohio St? He's putting on a show tonight.

    I'm becoming convinced that it's all about the Offensive identity , philosophy and the coaching, or lack thereof.

    So you're OK with underachieving as long as we beat our rivals? I think its perfectly fine to appreciate the wins but be critical of the losses and the why behind the losses.

    Make no mistake, we should have 2 NC wins with the talent that has come through UGA the last 4 years.

    He says the Bennett is improving. Well, I guess going from 3 interceptions to 2 IS an improvement.

    I don't give a flip about the feel good story and the rest of the team probably doesn't, either. Bennett is the same guy Smart had on the Scout team and then let leave. He is also the guy that recruited or wooed the 4 and 5 star "backups". So is Smart that bad at evaluating talent or does someone have something on him?

    And thank goodness we brought in "Air Raid Monken". That hire has really paid off.

  • BestofBreedBestofBreed Posts: 117 ✭✭✭ Junior

    Agreed. The guy can just never admit he was wrong. He will double and triple down to the point where only his own credibility takes a hit. He will take his opinion and write it up as fact. That's my only issue. He treats his opinions as unimpeachable facts. Does anyone still think JT Daniels looked so good he scared off Newman, but is either a) not healthy enough to play halfway through the season or b) is apparently healthy, but is the 3rd stringer? Come on! Yet the guy insists that JT scared off Newman. What's funny about that is how would anyone know that even IF it were 100 percent true? I'm sure Newman ran around telling everyone that he's leaving specifically because JT Daniels looked so good he's scared of him. Again come on. You may have had a theory, but there is zero chance you could report that as fact. Specifically because Kirby has directly said Newman was going to start.

    It’s Sunday morning, and the qb we benched for Jake Fromm is the front runner for the Heisman. Let that sink in y’all. Kirby needs to reasses his qb evaluation skills. Not stirring the pot just saying “the king has no clothes”

    One can only dream . But can you imagine feilds with our wide receivers and rbs .. and why oh why are we not getting the ball to Washington,, I mean when he gets the ball he looks effortless,, anyway ladies and gentlemen unless Stetson is hurt and I don’t wish that on anyone ,, hate to say it but we’re stuck with him ,, hope you still have a voice from yelling at the tv after the games lol

  • reddawg1reddawg1 Posts: 3,878 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    "He is playing in the big 10 lol"

    He will be the 2nd QB taken in next year's draft. A for sure top 7 pick. What do you not understand? Meanwhile we are starting a walk-on QB who was told back in JUly or August by the coaching staff, they "didn't see him as being a starter" (you've got no chance). Let that sink in.
