"Don't fret, Navy. UGA won't come close to losing another game."
I hope you're right. Florida doesn't scare me as much as Tennessee (because of the environment at Neyland), Ole Miss (because of their prolific offense), and Missouri. All are ranked and should not be overlooked.
We have a lot of tough games but the scheduling is in our favor.
Tennessee has Missouri before us which will be a tough out for them.
Ole Miss has Texas A&M before us.
The one to watch out for is Mizzou. They have a bye before us and look better than expected.
Our next 4 games are all tough ones.
One game at a time. One game at a time.
Really? MS is the universally recognized abbreviation for Mississippi. Anyone that made it through 6th grade should know that, Jethro. Try to use some of that gray matter before it completely turns to mush.
UGA is superior in every way, to all 3 of those teams and the Dawgs, should beat them, soundly. Provided, there's not a complete collapse of the discipline they've exhibited over the last 7 games.
It's obvious to me, that UGA is the best-coached team in the SEC, right now [at least]. Maybe "5 or 6 turnovers" and "10 or 15 penalties" would put them in danger of losing...but, it would take something, that bizarre...IMO.
My confidence in UGA, is based on what I see, what I know and the assumption that they... DON'T overlook anybody, as you say. Which I don't believe the leaders or the Coaching Staff will allow. They've been dealing with these moments for two and a half years. I think they are immune to "overconfidence and pressure-choking".
IMO....years like the last 3-4, that UGA has had, breeds "confidence & poise". Confidence isn't the same thing as "complacency" or "conceit"....but, it is a prerequisite for "poise".
Both,"poise & confidence" are needed, in order to fight through the turnovers and momentum swings, that derail most CFP Contenders. So far...the Dawgs have handled those moments and games, like a Champion, as in the previous 2 years. I don't see that changing.
There's one reason, if for no other, that UGA is dangerous to TENN, MISS and MIZZOU. They "consistently" show up for "big games". Meaning, they are guaranteed to be physical. So, ya better have plenty of trained, experienced, backups...cause, you can bet...the Dawgs "do".
UGA is deep, talented, well-coached, consistent, poised, fast and rested, but in football-shape. Why would anybody "not" pick em to win it all again. Lol...UGA's real season doesn't start, till next week.
Well looking forward it looks like our Dawgs have a tough row to hoe. Lol I wonder if some of the younger fans know what that means ?? 😀
There’s Absolutely Nothing wrong with being objective, constructive criticism, attempting as best you can to be realistic. I get that. But there are Many times in life as well as football you just have to BELIEVE. If we take all those licenses of being objective, constructive criticism, attempting based on the info. at hand to be realistic, then the last Two Ntl. Championship Dawgs Might not should have won, but They Did !!
In the Navy our ship was our Home. Floating out in the middle of thousands upon thousands of acres of liquid real estate, when something bad happens, like Fire or Flooding or any other situation that threatens to take away Yours and your fellow shipmates Home. You have to hunker down and Fight !! You can’t afford to give up and quit !! I Know these things from my own personal experience of having endured and persevered through them.
As applied to CFB I honestly believe our Dawgs have a similar spirit in that they are a Brotherhood. You HAVE to have that Unity and Mentality to survive. We as Dawgs fans are asking this particular Dawgs team to accomplish something that’s Never been done in the entire history of the program. A 3peat.
You’d Never hear Kirby and down from him Admit the pressure their under, but I Know, Yall know, it’s Definitely there !! So I want to see them accomplish this as much as Any Dawgs fan. I Believe they Can and I Believe they Will. But if it don’t happen I’m Still gonna Love them, Still gonna be Proud of them.
IF our Dawgs for what ever reasons don’t make it, it would be So easy and So convenient to pick out one or two people and place all or the majority of the blame on them. To Me, Speaking For Me, unless there is a Consistent and Obvious those two words, failure on the part of one or two it would be a cop out to do that.
Bobo Will occasionally call a bad play, maybe even back to back. But that’s Not consistent enough for me to turn on him. Monken called some bad plays. Beck might throw an errant pass, again maybe even back to back. Same thinking. A RB might fumble the ball. A Defender get beat bad on a deep throw. These things Can and probably Will at times happen. But To Me that’s not reason enough to Trash a guy or guys and throw them under the bus. It’s a Team effort. TEAM.
I think we’re about to see some tough, tough, football being played out. There Will be allot of nail biting, frustrating moments, trying times for us as Dawgs fans. But Remember NONE of us want it any More so than this Dawgs football program does.
SO when those times come, and they Will, don’t be to quick to abandon ship, and don’t be to quick to give up on These Dawgs !! I’ll close by saying I’ve got a feeling in my more than ample gut that their gonna come growling and snapping out of this Bye time ready to spank some butt !! Go Dawgs !!!
