Placing blame for the loss!

It never ceases to amaze me how many people know how to coach a winning football team! I see all these people on social media casting blame on people for our lost. It seems everyone wants to fire somebody! People are blaming President Morehead, AD Josh Brooks, Head Coach Kirby Smart, Off. Co-ordiator Mike Bobo, Offensive Line Coach Stacey Scearels, and almost anll the other assistant coaches! One guy said Kirby needs to get his son off the side lines! One group has not been criticized yet is out fair weather fans who packed up and came home Wednesday after the problem on Tuesday night and the postponement of the game one day! Thousands of Dawg fans left! There were many empty seats in the Dawg sections! I understand if you had to be at work Friday or possible family issues were involved but otherwise people needed to stay and support our coaches and players and we failed as a group to do that! I say we fire all the fans who packed up and came home without a good excuse! I don’t know if they were scared or what but way too many left before the game! My group of 10 immediately said I am staying to support my team! I am appalled at the thousands that just ran home! I was sleeping less than 1 mile from where 15 people were killed! I never thought about turning tail and running home! We cannot let terrorist control our lives! I never felt fear or concern during the 2 days after! Whew! Glad I got that off my chest!

ANALYSIS Postgame thoughts: More questions than answers


Irish beat Georgia by being Georgia
Can certainly lose it
Gunner
Just not good enough offensively
More questions than answers
It's time (for the young guys)

It's not the loss itself that bothers me

It's the way we lost. It was like last season all over again. Our talent level is several magnitudes better but completely falling apart and resorting to iso ball on offense down the stretch is something last year's team did over and over. Despite the better talent this didn't look much different, and this was probably one of our easier road games (relatively speaking). To me that's a coaching issue.

I know we will not over pay for a player, and understood, but really perplexed we haven’t found any for depth…..

I mean, we have taken in zero players right? I would have thought we would have found a few depth pieces that were in the “bargain bin” category?

Maybe it is because of the playoffs and not enough time?

Maybe we are good with current roster, but with what we were claiming we were thin in certain areas we would have found at least some depth like pieces?

Maybe the Jake Pope situation scared us some?

I just find it weird we have not taken in anyone.

Couple of rewatch notes for ND

1. Gunner's passing was above average to good. Missed some throws late but overall passing was solid. His quickness and speed were both underwhelming and only slightly above average, just not quick or fast enough to get ND defense to back off or account for him.
2. Though #3 really ran well, wish he would have gotten a few more carries. Though he cut and ran better than # 1 most of the game.
3. Fumble by # 1 on first drive was result of # 5 whiffing on a block. Hole was there otherwise. 3-to-7-point swing on that play
4. OL Played horrible on rewatch as well. Fault Bobo and Searles for not chipping the DE and helping the LT out some but regardless, an UNDERWELMING performance by them.
5. We rotated # 5 and #2 at WR more than usual. #2 might develop but can see neither is better than guys starting over them
6. # 7 and #2 had chances to help Gunner out on the last drive. Both passes were catchable, #2 didn't go up strong enough and #7 didn't run thru his route and jumped to early
7. TE room was really a 2nd string guy and two 3rd string guys, none of the 3 were #1 guys. Either our # 4 guy has to move up (I think he is talented and has the size) or one of the Freshmen has to come in and be a difference maker. Overall another average performance by all 3 in blocking and receiving.
8. ND DB's were flying up early to attack the run. Thought we should have taken a few more shots, especially on early downs.
9. Overall the officiating was fine, missing the roughing the punter and calling the sideline penalty was a 3-to-7-point swing overall in game.
10. Kick the ball out of endzone on kickoffs or make it unreturnable, cost us the game
11. Our front 6 or 7 really played well on defense. Got little help from DB's in run support
12. # 3 on defense going out really hurt our defense late, #5 looked slow on some of the kickout runs and couldn't make the plays. Really hoping some of the younger guys step up a MLB next year and can move from side to side.
13. Rant again about our DB's - the corners are horrible in run support and the safeties are very inconsistent. I think # 7 would be better as a 3rd corner or nickel back VS an every down corner. We need to make some wholesale changes there in offseason with positions and personnel.
14. Did you notice that 1/2 of ND's offense ran onto the field thru the defense after the punt team was set. You can come in from the sideline but NOT thru the defense. In essence they were offside. regarldless, the game was over at that point. We couldn't move the ball consistently enough to score 2 TD's in 9 minutes.

Hoping some of the guys coming in or currently in reserve rolls will upgrade our DB;s, TE's and WR core. All 3 groups were significantly off from UGA's standard.

Feel I need today worst way but Im NERVOUS.

Falcons can't get it done Sunday against Washington and are likely done for playoffs.

Dawgs lose to ND and season done.

Lady Dawgs look awful against Vandy (who is really good) and have a crazy amount of turnovers…

We GOTTA have today. Look at this, if we don’t get today we could and probably start 0-5 in league play. Man, this is gonna be brutal. Way tougher than SEC football.

Good Morning Dawg Nation

Hello weekend, Dawgs!!

Still lots of emotions it appears. I'm just happy to be here. Excited for what is ahead and the apparent changes to come. Always down for a fresh start.

Gotta be honest, when the news on CKS's dad hit yesterday, I really had to stop and have an ah-ha moment. I had a hard enough time managing a small business, my regular job and a grandson.....can't imagine trying to manage a multimillion dollar football team of 18-22 yr olds, a staff, and family all while the pressure of winning looms over, with a health crisis of one parent in a strange city. I don't care if the man gets paid, he deserves it and he deserves some grace. Praying for Mr Sonny BIG!!

Praying for all those on the LDGMDNOPL and the GMDN gang too 🙏🏻

Happy Birthday/Anniversary if you're celebrating today 🥳 🎉

Love you guys and gals, MEAN IT!!

Go Dawgs ♥️

Watching this basketball game, I noticed that the arena is named the "Sandy and John Black Pavilion" and the court is named the "Craddock Court"....

In an effort to satisfy/honor notable former coaches and players as well as major donors, will these schools have to resort to naming the three point arc, baseline, lane and other court markings to properly recognize everyone? Or, alternatively, after greater coaches and athletes come along and more generous donors step up, will these schools have a "decommissioning" ceremony where the former names are retired with new, more deserving names filling their spaces?
