Just give the ball to Bowers and let him run over people. I don't know what it's gonna take.
I had said for the last 3 weeks when we played CS and GT. We need to bring JT in and practice throwing for this 1 game, get good reps in. But what does Kirby do, ah, we are up by 14+ in 3rd quarter, let’s just run…NO! You had 1 year against over matched opponents to get the passing game in gear for this shoot out…you failed Kirby and that was not ELITE coaching
Please take the score off the main page. I’ve said all year that Bennett couldn’t beat them. I like what he’s done, but let’s face it, the teams we played were all terrible on defense. We don’t deserve the playoffs. We as fans can’t take this continuing heartbreak time after time. What a waste of the season. We’re not elite.
When the insurance salesman is playing quarterback and the NFL quarterback is healthy and on the sidelines this is what you get.
As I see it, we lost this game for three primary reasons:
I don’t think you can fairly put this loss on Bennett’s shoulders, and, sadly, playing JT Daniels would not have changed the outcome.
Kirby Smart appears to be an excellent recruiter. He is not a National Championship Coach; he is not even a SEC Championship Coach.
Nick Saban would have put J T Daniels in the game in the second half.
Saban would have switched QBs as soon as his starter was failinng. He did it withh Hurts and Tua and beat the Dawgs both times. Kirby still has to learn that lesson. Maybe he will make the change and start JT for the playoffs. Let's hope so.
Number 1 is right. Blitzed too much and left the slant option over the middle open. Left corners defending for themselves when hot target. Number 2 is wrong. Bennett was afraid of getting hit. He always looks to his left and if it is not their he usually either runs or throw into double coverage because he doesn’t want to get hit.
Maybe JT Daniels will get some snaps in the Peach Bowl
Our offensive line actually played really well except the last quarter where we basically had to throw every down to try and catchup
Well, here it is again. I wish I could say all of it was a surprise, but it's pretty much as expected:
The good news is that there should be no question that we're top 4. The Oklahoma State loss was a big help there and so the only other 1-loss team we'd be fighting against would be Notre Dame and they are no threat. The other good news is that we have time between now and our next game, so there's time to make changes.
The bad news is that Smart doesn't like to "shake things up" and Bennett will likely be starting even if it's a rematch against Bama.
The really, really BAD news is that this one of those came-down-to-a-single-play type of game. They dominated us. We couldn't throw. We couldn't catch and we couldn't stop Young. Young, someone who only runs as a last resort, had more rushing yards than our leading rusher. Bama out rushed us. They outpassed us. We were freaking 3-12 on 3rd downs (wasn't that one of JT's specialties?). Heck, Bama gave us 85 yards in penalties: almost more than we ran.
I'm not sure that we'll have much of a chance in a rematch.
Bennett doesn’t want to get hit? He completed a number excellent passes, keeping his focus down field while knowing he was going to get pounded after releasing the ball. Did we watch the same game? 🤔
Hey, remember when BA AND THE GANG, were team Bennet... what's sad is you didn't even see this coming did you....
NO MATTER HOW GOOD OR GREAT THE DEFENSE IS YOU HAVE TO BE A THREAT TO THROW IT OVER THE TOP!!!
