So...you're telling me that UGA is the first team ever to play in a loud opener against a good team?


Who said that? And Richt has won several opening games against good opponents too.

Georgia was the only SEC team that played a good team this weekend. The only other school that played on okay team was LSU played TCU.




I agree. You COULD make an argument for Va Tech, but they were riddled with injuries. How did you like those Alabama offensive statistics? Did anyone play better than Georgia in the SEC? perhaps an argument could be made for LSU. But seriously. Which SEC team played as well as Georgia, considering the opponent?

Alabama's offense looked anemic
A&M defense looked horrendous
Mississippi's defense looked horrendous
Vanderbilt's defense looked bad
LSU looked ok, but certainly not great
Auburn & Tennessee? Seriously? WEAK opponent.
Missisippi St......yuck. better than expected..but expect them to finish 7th in their division.
Kentucky? nope.

If not for a blown snap on the field goal it would have been a tied game going into OT.


Why does everyone keep saying this? Wasn't that play at the end of the 3rd quarter? If we make it it's 31-31 with a whole quarter left to play.

Semantics...

Yes or no. Did our offensive line look ready on Saturday?

Not making errors...but literally not ready for 4 qtrs of football against Clemson's dline?

Snap count and crowd noise be damned.....the O line know where they are going before the play PERIOD


Not true. The defense has assignments, too and they know where THEY are going. And the offensive line goes where their defensive assignment goes. The advantage the OLine has is getting off the ball quicker because they know the sanp count and making contact with the defesnive player so they can affect the defensive players ability to complete his assignment. In short, with crowd noise you take away the biggest advantage the OLine has. the ball snap.

Gotta go workout. Will get back for more discussion in a couple of hours! I am enjoying discussing this with you guys. We are actually having a rational, level headed discussion. Thanks for that!

At times they looked very good. At times I couldn't believe at how inept they looked. No argument there. To be successful they will have to be more consistent. I agree with you 100% on this. NOT that they were horrible, but that they have to be more consistent. Gotta go for a bit. Keep posting and making your case. When I get back I will check the thread and make counter points. You are all making legitimate arguments....and I enjoy the conversation. It is civil, as it should be!

Are people actually trying to blame crowd noise for our oline failures? LOL go eat a fricking dick. We got whooped plan and simple. Houston and Gates and Andrews all have cotton swabs stuffed in there anuses because of the constant fricking they received.

Stop making excuses for that bullshite. They just plan ole fashion stunk it up Sat night and the competition was mediocre at best.

IN TROUBLE

The post was bout the O Line play. I'm saying that blaming the environment is a cop out because it's not like this is the first loud stadium that we've ever played in, and this was a verteran line.

Actually, what I'm really trying to do is see how long it will take me to get Dawg4life to admit that it is possible, however unlikely, that our O Line wasn't ready on Sat.

I may give up though as it could prove to be an impossible task.

That's terrible.

68 and 61 were blocking nobody and 72 whiffed. Their 3 guys got to Murray past 5 blockers. Obviously Murray can't win big games.

I still think Erin was a huge part of what was wrong with the offense but jesus, this OL. I remember getting incensed in the game cause half our fan base thought these guys would be one of the best in the nation and these fat fricks probably took it to heart. shite, they even failed to meet my incredibly low expectations for their performance

My conclusion is we don't have athletic/talented OL who can handle athletic speed rushing DE's. Hopefully it's a coaching issue that can be worked out but they better correct it fast before Clowney comes to town.

Well, if stinking it up means we get 545 total yards, 323 passing yards, 222 rushing yards, then I hope we stink it up all year.

Exactly what kind of stats would satisfy you?

Have you ever been in a game with 80,000 fans screaming and tried to hear? I have been in big games in which the QB was yelling plays and I could barely hear him. So, with the OL in a stance and the QB behind them...no, I don't find it impossible to believe they had a hard time hearing the signals. I'm surprised you do. Was that the whole story? nope. never said it was. but it was a big piece of the puzzle of what went wrong. If it has no effect, why do you think players wave the fans on to make more noise?

Yeah, and regardless of if we had made the FG or not that didn't stop Clemson from scoring a TD during the fourth quarter. If anything making that FG would have changed Clemson's defensive playcalling on our last drive. They sure as hell would not have been in a prevent D on every snap.

No question, there are problems along the OLine. There were breakdowns. And there will be breakdowns with SouCar. No argument. but there were times that the OLine did a pretty good job of protection and blocking. It was, no doubt the most Jekyll and Hyde performance I have ever seen out of a OLine. But there will ALWAYS be breakdowns. You will be able to find breakdowns EVERY game...every team will.

Gates is an interior lineman. he does not have the lateral quickness to even slow down and fast rush off the edge. It is not totally his fault. he is out of position. BUT, we just don't have anybody more ready than him. Apparently the coaching staff are not comfortable with anyone else. They see the guys every single day in practice. If you thought that was bad take another look at him against Clowney last year. he just doesn't have the lateral quickness needed.

This may be correct...but we scored 35 on Clemson's defense, and with that field goal it would have been 38. So, we MIGHT have scored on a regular defensive alignment....I mean, we did a pretty good job the rest of the game of scoring on them.

I think you're absolutely right, they have a guard playing LT. This reminds me of Cordy Glenn who was a great OG but lackluster as a T.

That being said after what we just saw there HAS to be another option or we have truly failed to recruit worth a damn.
