re: Pat Dooley's thoughts.....

I never thought I would say this, but I imagine that once again, a relatively crappy team will win the East, and I don't think it will be us. If things don't drastically change, there is a very real chance that we lose to Tenner, UGA, and FSU this year. If Muschamp can find some defense and the offense wasn't just a fluke over the weekend, we may lose to them as well.

I actually don't think that Mac will survive that. I know it should be stupid to be so dire after one game against what may be a very good Michigan team, but the offensive pieces are there, at least enough to not come out of the gate still looking exactly like last year. And as has been said, were it not that Butch Jones was a completely awful coach and UGA chronically does less with more, we wouldn't have been in Atlanta these last two years. Who knows what will happen with the Vols; Butch is an idiot but lucky as hell. UGA may just be a solid team - not a world beater, but solid. And a solid team whips this team's arse if it continues playing like this.

Don't get me wrong; I hope he turns it around. But there is simply no excuse for this offense continuing to look like hot garbage anymore. We do have some talent at QB, some of it raw, some of it just experienced whilst not world beaters, but there should be someone back there that can at least make a decent show of competing. We should have a good OL. We have decent backs, some solid TEs, and other pretty good receivers. There are a lot of coaches out there who could get more than three points out of the pieces in place.
