15-Year Team Ratings for Georgia

Interesting.

Before many on here come on and criticize....click on his link and you will understand better what this is showing.

(I say this because I couldn't tell what this was until I clicked. It might say more about me than anything, though.)

Thanks for sharing.

2010 was better than the record suggests.

didn’t we have a ton of injuries and a really raw Murray? God if I could erase that season I would that liberty bowl was horrendous and no reason to lose to UCF

2016 was flat out terrible.

2016 had some fun moments. Chubb’s return vs UNC. 4th & 10 vs Mizzou. Beating Top 10 Auburn without an offensive TD. No need to mention the shitty moments

2014

-Beatdown a really good Clemson team week 1
-Lose to a 6-6 South Carolina team after a bye
-Win 6 straight games in dominating fashion
-Get beatdown by a terrible Florida team after a bye
-Beatdown Auburn
-Lose to GT after Mizzou wins the East

Overall, 2014 was a summary of Mark Richt's career.

I’ve always told people that the 2018 team was better than 17 and everyone acted like I was crazy

Amazing job by Kirby after losing 37 seniors.

ehhhh, they're pretty close but I can't give '18 the nod.

-OLs were both good but I'd take senior Wynn at LT with Thomas at RT compared to Thomas at LT and freshman wilson at RT
-Run games were both good but I'd take chubb/sony/Swift opposed to Swift/Holyfield
-Passing game goes to '18 for sure. Excellent passing attack that year.
-Defense I gotta go with '17 simply becuase of roquan. When he left I think you could make a case he was in the top 2 or 3 linebackers that have ever played here. Just like we'll be good on defense this year but won't simply be able to plug in another nakobe, '18 was fine but you can't just replace roquan.
-Up to the last game of the year, the only team we'd lost to we also beat later on (kinda like this year!). That LSU loss was head scratching, one of the biggest WTF games of kirby's tenure. We were completely outplayed and outcoached by a fricking mongoloid who would barely be fit to be a water boy. I don't harbor ill feelings about the bama loss. That bama team was elite and was MUCH better than their '17 counterpart. Looking back I'm honestly surprised we punched em like we did and had the lead like we did. Then the inexucsable texas loss. I'm well aware of the off the field headslines and our mental state and how half hte team didn't want to be there. Whatever. That was a flat out embarrassment getting thrashed for 2.5 quarters by a team we should have beaten by 3 TDs if we wanted to. You saw what happened 12 months later when we played int eh same game wiht a team full of people that actually wanted to be there.

You could look at these ratings and say the 2007 team overachieved, but you have to remember that that season was basically two different teams. If you were only rating from the Florida game and beyond, that number would look much different.

The 2 team mantra is real.
In 2006 and 2007, we lost consecutively to every East opponent. 0-7 from the 2006 tennessee game to the 2007 tennessee game.

What happened? We were relying on an 18 year old QB. Not just a true freshman. But basically a high school QB with a great arm. If he couldnt rely on the run game, place kicker, and defense, we couldnt win.

Eventually, the run game (knowshon) and defense (washington and johnson) came into their own. And stafford had the game slow down for him as well. Coutu no longer had the hammy (2006) in 2007 and we didnt have to rely on Andy Bailey in the tight games.

The defense in 2018 was very close to 2017. The defensive backfield was probably better by seasons end.
The defensive line was better by seasons end so long as Jordan Davis was on the field (nic'd up against bama and academic suspension against texas).

The biggest drawback to the 2018 was significant, though. Linebacker play. We basically needed an entirely different scheme without Roquan. And through the length of the season, we never solved the problem of mobile QBs.

We gave up 10 rushing TDs to QBs alone in 2018.

Burrow converted 4 fourth downs with his legs. And even worse, punched the ball in 2 times on the ground.

Tua didnt beat us in the air. Hurts beat us on the ground. He won the game on a QB draw after eluding us the entire drive.

Ehlinger basically just duplicated the Burrow offense converting 2 fourth downs with his legs and 3 rushing TDs.

For all of the things that made 2018 better, the lack of our linebackers ability to neutralize mobile QBs pissed all of that away. 10 rushing TDs by QBs alone. I dont see the 2018 defense as better than 2017 because of that flaw.

It didnt help.
But Burrows and Ehrlinger combined for 6 fourth down conversions and 5 rushing TDs. It is typically the ILB responsible for that aspect of the offense. It was Crowder still learning the position and sophomore Monty Rice growing up with Juwan Taylor/Natrez Patrick trying to fill Roquan's shoes.
