That Kool aid is no stronger than the one people are drinking on SC beating us in week 2. I guess just depends on what your flavor is.
Of all the positions on offense, I would say RB has been proven the easiest to make an impact as a freshman. Even with a first and second round back in our backfield last year, we couldn't keep Swift off the field. It's been pretty clear he was no slouch at blocking, some say he was better at picking up the blitz than either SM or NC. He is also better out of the backfield as a receiver. The two freshman were rated higher than DS coming out of high school. Holyfield can't be counted out either.

Predicting we'll win the East like 99% of the media? I guess so.

We return nearly everything on offense and showed a ton of potential against a very good Michigan defense with B-Mac calling plays. We know for a fact Bentley plays better when he plays fast. He showed that as a freshman when they just let him play. Roper is no longer calling the offense which was easy to predict. He single handily cost us the Kentucky and Texas A&M games. OL is senior loaded and should be the best we seen in years. WR core in my opinion is best in the SEC. RBs need to improve but they're capable of being average in the SEC.
Outside of Skai Moore I'm not worried about anything we lost on defense. We return DJ Wonnum, Javon Kinlaw, Rashad Fenton, Jam Williams, Steven Montac, TJ Brunson, and Bryson Allen Williams. Add a multi year starter from Texas A&M grad transfer Nick Harvey at corner. Keir Thomas, Brad Johnson, Aaron Sterling, Daniel Fennel, and Keisean Nixon all played significant snaps last year as Muschamp likes to sub alot. Our first group looks really good on paper. We will need to develop some depth as the year goes by but their is talent in the starting group. I don't lose sleep over the defense with Muschamp and T-Rob calling the shots.
Georgia can say the exact same things about offense and defense just with different names (more talented names than SC) to replace them. Roquan is really the only guy we worry about replacing from last year.
The defense will be more talented this year overall.
And our offense is returning nearly everyone aside from the RBs and the LT. The LT spot is considered to be a wash. We will start a sophomore that that those two high NFL draft picks couldn't keep buried on the bench because he was just that good.
One more thing. Our offense was awesome last year, so we're not having to scrap it and start anew.

I had no idea UGA fans were this damn arrogant. Win something first before beating your chest like a Dynasty. Everyone is beatable on any given day. Hell we haven’t had a undefeated season under Saban. Let that sink in

This is a thread about 2018. A single year. A few games being discussed, mainly sc vs uga. Takes a lot for one to confuse that with talk of a dynasty.

Okay, explain to me why I'm arrogant when I say we will win, but SC is not arrogant when they think they will win. You guys make no sense. Have I said dynasty? Nope.
I simply said we have the more talented team and SC has some weaknesses there. Geeze. Get over yourself. You're reading in waaaay too much here.
BTW, I said earlier we'd probably lose a game this year. It's hard to say which one, but I don't think it will be SC. Is that so bad? Really. WTH did I say that even hints at a dynasty here?
And you were undefeated in 2009. Are you a Bama bandwagon guy?

Forgot about 2009.. seems we always loose one and bounce back. Yes, I’m a bandwagon fan that lettered at Bama. Thanks for pointing it out. All I’m saying is most everyone will loose one game, and replacing all the seniors you lost.. I would expect 2 during conference play. Still has you in the SEC championship and still facing Bama.

I expect one. I guess that makes me a conceited prick who thinks we're a dynasty.

Calm down wet noodles.. I said talking like a dynasty.. never said you called yourself one. Jesus.. this is what we are talking about.

I guess I missed when thinking you would beat S. Carolina meant you were "talking like a dynasty". I guess that 2010 loss still hurts like a bitch.

There was zero dropoff when they left the field for the new guy last year. Did you not watch us play?
Because the games were blowouts... Of course there wasn't a dropoff.

Posted a recap of the game from ESPN stating that it was a tough game for Georgia. Nice try though.
No, it didn’t say that. “Toughest game” out of tons of blowouts doesn’t make it “extremely tough” as you put it. It said we were “tested early”, which implies it didn’t last long
Go back and re-read the quote. It said exactly that. A 7 point lead at halftime and 11 point lead going into the 4th quarter is a close game. Especially compared to the scores Georgia was putting up on the previous opponents.

This I agree with but many you think he is the next Saban and claiming titles for games not yet played. I personally think Kirby will do well at UGA but last year was ahead of schedule and do not agree with many of your fans that expect the repeat.

Honestly, you seem to be a fan who predicts what you want to happen and have little ability to objectively assess a situation. It'd be one thing if this were the SEC of 2012, but it's not.
Not one UGA fan has shown any objectivity. For what I want to happen is UA undefeated playing an undefeated east champion in Atlanta, but my assessment is the east winner will not be undefeated.
It would also be one thing if the SEC East was like 2017 but it is not. Just saying.

If he wins he East with an 11-1 or better record again, are you gonna change your mind?
No one has said he's the next Saban. You don't have to be the next Saban to not flop. I don't hear anyone, with any kind of real cred, saying he's a flop or will flop. I think we're past that now.

Do you think it’s the uga fans that have placed uga in the preseason top 4?

UGA fans are quite uppity these days.
There are some bad UGA posters, hell I could be one of them, but most UGA posters I've seen think they take a step back this year. Thinking UGA wins the East after what UGA did last year combined with what the rest of the East did last year isn't a crazy prediction. Will UGA win the SEC? Probably not and if they don't win the SEC they won't get the Bama backdoor to the playoffs. Most UGA fans just don't think the drop off will be as bad as other teams' posters think at RB.

I never said he will flop just but not crowning him a great coach because of one season. Even Chizik had one great season. So yes the jury still out on Kirby until he shows he can be consistent and there are no supporting facts yet do to only having one season under his belt.
Look UGA will always have talent but history has shown(at least since 1980) that talent alone will not get you a NC. I know you all want to believe but time will tell.
