...and guess who's back? Swift is back.

I’ll hang up and listen

here are some stats that you may not have realized from Saturday night's game

@brollinspff Any chance you can put together a FDL session comparing 23 vs 24 offensive plays. Would like to understand Beck’s regression and what’s changed with our offense. I don’t think Beck just lost confidence…what’s changed.

Thanks

After watching the last play a few more times Carson throws a great pasd…CY Has to get inside the defender that’s his job!! Not mad at him but he didn’t help CB out on that play. He did the same thing on the previous fade to him. They’ll get kn the same page and it’ll be automatic by the time it matters! GO DAWGS!!

• They’ve been extremely athletic at QB…incredibly hard to defend. Not just good passers…great in the open field. Hard to stop drives…too many drives extended with broken plays. This wears down defenses. They’ve been better scoring points…bottom line. I’d like to see a change in philosophy with QB recruiting.
• 2-3 Elite skill players every year. Play makers that define games. You know who I’m talking about. Freaks like Williams.
• They’re always strong and physical on the offensive and defensive line. And deep. It’s never an area to exploit for Alabama.
• Scheme, they create matchup problems based on the above and leverage until the opponent stops them.
  • Coaching has been more even than credited.
  • Last night was the exception…we were fooled with their offensive game plan until we made massive adjustments.

I’m of the opinion that we’ll make good use of this loss…and I’m over it. Hugh freeze is going to get an earful from the UGA faithful.
Moving forward with the best program in college football. Go dawgs.

… the QB play in my opinion. Bama has somehow found the fountain of athletic, mobile QBs who can pass accurately, on occasion, but otherwise consume defensive resources on the corners and free up space for its secondary receivers.

Stetson Bennett gave us that for a couple of years and we were unpredictable and dangerous in a way that Bama has been with Hurts, Tua, Young, and, now, Milroe.

My only frustration with Kirby & Co. is the lack of success in recruiting and developing the types of QBs that can bring the extra intangible of elusiveness to an offense.

If Beck - with his 3 INTs, fumble, and safety- is our only answer, I’m not sure we quite understand the question, yet.

If Stetson’s abilities were only revealed to us by Mathis’ game time ineptness, I am less convinced we recognize our blindness, yet.

He was 58

We had an offensive game plan to win this game.
1- defense killed us in the 1st half.
2- Beck as usual had an awful first half; however, he really stepped it up in the 4th quarter and finally took some leadership with some fire.
3- Colbie needed to help us out on that last pass. Hard to do with the speed of the game.

Tuscaloosa sucked, can't go back and change it, our players haven't been in a positive environment since September 7.

Time to focus on the team in front of us, and we all know there's no love lost there. Let the revenge tour start here, give the team a good environment, it's all we can control, let them focus on beating ass, and maybe they get a chance to serve the dish that is best-served cold.

Go Dawgs.

Better to get this game out of the way. Kirby has grease to cook with now and the guys will go to work fixing these issues. I’d be terrified to be texas or Tennessee right now. Ole Miss was never a concern. One thing lane can’t do is keep his guys ready week in and out. He runs a gimmick like tennesse. Take a breathe. Bad game. But lot of good take away from it. But Saturday confirms we very well can win a natty with this squad with time. Glass half full

This seems stupid to me

this team moving forward. During the 2023 season, I felt like this team found itself in the second half of the Auburn game. I feel the same about the second half of the Bama game. We got some players involved on offense (Evans specifically) that had not been used as much before. It's a long season and I think this past weekend primed us for a good run.

are hilarious reading on a Monday morning. There are some good points made but some of you act like we didn't win 40+ in a row regular season and 2 of 3 Natty's. I agree Saturday was a huge let down based on what I expected from this team. I think it would have played out much differently if Arian doesn't drop that first dime from Carson, or DLovett doesn't get called for the OPI. Anyway, I hope everyone finds their own way to cope. It's been fun reading along! On to the annual beatdown of Allbarn! Can't wait.

I wasn't expecting the point spread to open that high for Georgia-Auburn this Saturday... Something kind of interesting: the Dawgs have covered each of their last eight games against Auburn in Athens.

Check out this week's "What's the Line?"

Our passing game really isn’t our issue. It’s our running game and Eteine is a great back. We need to get more creative in our running scheme. If we can do that and shore up whatever that first quarter of defense was we will be a handful. We are not a 12 personnel running group but there are other ways to run it. Figure it out.

How would you rank these in order of importance?

1. Need to get Colbie Young and London Humphries healthy and integrated. Remember, the greatest statistical correlation from year-to-year in passing game success is returning catches/yards. We lost a lot with Bowers, Ladd, and Rara. (This is my #1 most important, change my mind)
2. Get the run game going. I'll be shocked if this doesn't improve incrementally all season if we can stay even reasonably healthy. We've got the backs and are better on the oline than we've shown so far.
3. Get healthy on the dline. Not much we can control there though.
4. Grow the young studs on D, specifically D. Wilson, Bolden, Gabe Harris, Aguero, Ellis, and Raylen Wilson. I'm mostly encouraged with how much this list played in a big, early season game with Bama, but play them more and live with some mistakes IMO.

Bottom line for me, I see a ton of potential for growth on this team. We almost beat Bama at night on the road and we ain't close to the ceiling. Flip side: if we don';t grow, we could lose 3.

this is not the time to start second guessing everything, and calling for wholesale changes.

Our defense wasn’t prepared at all. We tackled so horribly - so, so horribly. So many stupid mistakes and penalties. Our offense was rattled out of the gate and Carson wasn’t seeing the game for some reason. Passes were thrown poorly. Drops, so many drops. Drive-killing penalties. The list goes on. But two points I’d like to make:

1. All of that went against us, and we still had a chance to win. Our guys came together, still made mistakes, and tons of them, but they came together and took the lead. Something I thought going into mid-second quarter was possible, but didn’t expect.

2. This was ONLY game 4. Still 8 more to go in the regular season. I hoped we’d see a more advanced team than we currently have, but we are where we are. No excuses. But we still have PLENTY of chances to show improvement. It’s not a guarantee that we get all these things fixed, but this game could be a pivotal turning point in a great season. I’d always prefer to lose in September as opposed to losing in December, if I had to choose.

So, yes we have a LOT of answers to come up with, and every single coach and player is accountable for that. No excuses. Everyone had to be better. But there’s a lot of time for that, and many opportunities to get back toward the top.

If the season continues this way, THEN Kirby will have a lot of hard questions to answer, justifiably. But right now is not the time to sell our stock, or give up on this team. There’s a glimmer of a great team in there, Kirby just has to find the best ways to use it.

Go Dawgs.

LB groups to play under Smart. They are also very young and probe to mistakes.

We have two Seniors, and two Juniors. Mykel is just getting back. He and Smael are less than 100%.

Behind them we have five Sophomores and three Freshman. Lot of mistakes that staff has to coach them in. Eye discipline, knowing playbook inside and out, playing right gaps, consistency in tackling.

Athletically we are good at ILB but we need leadership there. That is the one part of losing JDJ we haven’t replaced yet.

The youth at DB is equally young. Outside of Jackson and Starks we have lot new guys. Not making excuses just pointing out they have lot film study to get better at. Also being able to carry that over onto field consistently.

In search of parking for AU in East Campus lot. Thanks!

that what we’re seeing now was so damn predictable. I love Kirby Smart. He won us two natties when I had given up all hope that I would ever live to see another one. He won those because he had recruited so well and made three-stars into all-stars, albeit in Stetson’s case it may have been a little against Kirby’s will, just as it was for a lot of us. In addition to having superb players, he had an OC who would push back at him enough to get him a little outside his comfort zone. Then he hires an OC he is totally comfortable with even though three-fourths of the known world thought he surely could have done better. When Beck decided put his mind to it, he was more than serviceable when he had two guys who could get wide-ass open whenever he needed them to. Then, along comes NIL, and Beck gets way too full of himself and goes for the bling as if he was already a proven sure fire, can’t miss first-rounder. The Lambo, arm candy, private jets wasn’t just bad optics. He may have been just telling us who/what he really is, or has become: A front runner, who can’t hack it when he no longer surrounded by guys who made him look lots better than he has proven to be this year. I know there are lots of other serious problems that are not, strictly speaking, Bobo’s, Beck’s or Kirby’s fault. Still, in looking at what this team is now and will be going forward this season, while I certainly hope for some improvement, I can’t really see any reason for thinking it will be nearly sweeping enough. We will continue to win games even if it looks as though we won’t for much of the game itself. I’ll still be there yelling my fool head off either way, but I am just not going to keep getting wrung out over expectations that I can’t see having any basis in reality.
