Georgia football Alabama instant observations as Bulldogs can’t make up the small margins
ATLANTA — The last time Georgia played a game in Atlanta, it owned the margins. It made the key plays in short yardage. Picked up the important fourth downs. Didn’t turn the ball over in the shadow of its own goalpost.

Alabama can do no wrong. They never hold, they're never guilty of pass interference and they never grab face masks. Balls that hit the ground are even called completions. How can you beat a team like that?
You know it’s bad when Gary Daniels on goes against his first love and brings up missed calls against alabama
they were gifted this game!!!!
the 4th down before the half,
the fair catch
the imaginary horse collar on sorey
the no call on Milton’s face mask after the half
those ain’t even about all the non holding stuff either.
all of those listed were game changing calls.
i hope there ain’t an sec team in the cfp.
How deep are bamas pockets? We should all ask the refs together.
5 yard penalty then missed FG, fumble on our own 11 yard line (they score)....mistakes killed us.
Line of scrimmage mostly dominated by Bama. Defense played much better in the 2nd half. Offense just couldn't find their groove. Receivers couldn't find much separation. Our running game never got going. Beck a little nervous and just a bit off. Offense brought us back but it wasn't enough.
Dawgs were resilient but just not enough today. Bama deserves the win.
I said earlier this week that this game was going to be the toughest test of Kirby's head coaching tenure at UGA. I knew this team just wasn't as good as the last couple of years. We had key injuries. This game doesn't define Kirby Smart, but it will be remembered.
All the games this year where the dawgs came from behind bit them tonight. Can't do that against Alabama. Not sure Georgia had a good gameplan. Almost seemed to be winging it at times. The defense was so out of sorts and appeared LOST a lot. Bowers and McConkey - I'm not even sure why they were in the game, it was obvious that both were at half strength. Why not give some of the younger guys a shot? Or use Dillion Bell on some designated plays? Or trick plays with Bell lined up as a RB and use his throwing skills? Also, Arian Smith is our speedster, why was he not used more? Slants, post, so many options with that guy, the short and intermediate throws were pretty useless against Bama. Beck looked lost at times. He really didn't seem to be in the game. Not sure why this team didn't want this more, but I guess, at some point, the team is gonna fall short - it's a shame it was against Bama. I guess Saban really does own Kirby.
So...I can see a possibility and yes, it is SMALL. What if Georgia lost to Bama and Bama still does not make the CFP and Georgia somehow does since the loss was so close and to the #8 team in the country? I mean, Texas killed Oklahoma State today and they beat Bama. What if they get in and Bama does not? The Oregon loss today hurts that argument a bit, so I hate that, because they were ranked ahead of Bama. Who knows how this is going to turn out - still hoping that Georgia gets in.
Give credit to Bama for taking advantage of their opportunities. Our Defense looked lost, poor angles, missed tackles, lack of setting the edge and often appeared to lose sight of where the ball was. Offense didn't help, turnovers, dropped balls, and poor ball placement just to name a few things aren't going to win games against a team that shows up prepared.
GO DAWGS!
I wish I could be optimistic, but the only way UGA even gets a chance is if Michigan and FSU lose. Washington is already in, if Michigan wins they are in, Texas is probably in, and as SEC champ with one loss, Alabama is probably in.
Exactly! Georgia absolutely looked lost at times. Looking over at the side lines like they were still waiting for the play. Sometimes the Bama WRs were so wide open - it's like one blown coverage after another. This coaching performance will not get Coach Shu many quality job offers. It would also be hard to believe that Bobo will get the Assistant of the year award since his offense looked absolutely pathetic at times. And the Joe Moore award for the OL? Forget it. Michigan will be getting it again this year, and this time they deserve it.
It’s easy to blame injuries or officials. First, though, make a FG and don’t fumble.
Why can't Georgia get a QB like the MANY QBs BAMA seems to get that are just better quality? Better passers, better runners, just a total package. We have Beck, but man, his play tonight. Just awful. He runs, but he is not a game changing runner. He cannot evade a pass rush. I'm not sure how good our backups are either. I think we have three QBs that are subpar to anything that Bama has had at QB recently. I mean, Milroe and Young? Back to back? What the heck?
'Just 21-29" ? That is 72% which matches his season average. Not bad considering so many players out or playing hurt. The fumble really hurt though.
Pretty funny, I actually have people DOWN VOTING me when I am trying to find a reason that Georgia could get in the playoffs. LOL. These must be closet Bama fans. LOL.
Until we beat Alabama in the SEC title game it is what it is. Burton yelling at our fans at the end showed no class. I guess he forgot we got 2 rings while he was gone.
And you are down voting people who have better, more logical arguments.
That dude looks unhinged.
Bobo is no Monken
We just didn't play our best game. I am a Dawg and will always be. We had a shot and couldn't pull it off. Hats off to the Tide. I thought Burton was wrong he is nothing but a ****.
Yep. Stats were pretty even. Difference was the FG miss, and the turnover (that trick play was unecessary), but penalties/refereeing certainly didn't help.
Glad to see that there's a few on here that actually talks about what really happened other than a few Georgia mistakes, hard to beat an Alabama team and the officials that's what I think, I actually Hope Alabama don't make the playoffs
GO DAWGS
