And once again, why does one injury render Alabama’s offense useless? Why didn’t Saban rotate more? Wouldn’t you say that’s poor coaching?

For example, I think it’s pretty clear that LSU would score at least 30ish on 2021 UGA, but I don’t think it’s at all clear that that LSU defense holds 2021 UGA offense in check either.
Closest comps to Georgia’s 2021 offense
Texas- 38 points
Florida- 28 points
Bammer- 41 points
Oklahoma- 28 points
Clemson- 25 points
I think it’s safe to assume that UGA wouldn’t have been shut down. We just don’t think they’d have scored the 40 points they’d likely have needed to win

There is no way of telling, but they were both very good. Magical, you might say.

You are still comparing players being out at the beginning of the year (which means it was game planned around all year). To the number 1 and 2 wide receiver going out in the last 3 games of the year. If you can’t see how those don’t correlate into game planning and changing script in a game then idk
Again, gameplans change constantly during every game.
What matters is if the players who have to come in are prepared or not. The reality is UGA's backups were prepared when they entered the game. Bama's were not. It's not about gameplans changing... coaches do that constantly. The fact you don't seem to realize that is confounding.

Our offense was still pretty good with Jameson.
It was the 2nd injury that really made us non-explosive and middling.
Losing 2 Top 50 NFL draft picks for a pass centric offense is going to effect your outcomes no matter who you are. The idea that we'd just toss in a couple freshman and keep on rolling at the same speed is silly.
Not to mention we're talking about losing those guys, difference making early round NFL pick guys, specifically in the context of playing against an elite defense like Georgia's. The margin for error was very small to begin with.

I see you ignored my post calling out your asinine comment. Pretty clear at this point you’re just looking for reactions and not interested in real debate

Disagree. You are confusing the SECCG and the NCG. Bowers was our third leading receiver in the NCG. We scored TDs with Darnell Washington in the SECCG (so we had a replacement tight end who could do damage). We screened Ladd McConkey a TD in the SECCG (so we were capable of replacing the same route tree). Obviously, Bama had issues covering AD Mitchell, Burton, and Pickens.
I love talking sensible football as much as the next guy but in this same thread you have a Georgia fan in the post above yours saying if you only look at stats you are wrong. However you are saying y’all would have been fine without Bowers, because stats. If you honestly don’t think having Bowers injured wouldn’t have changed Bama’s defensive game plan from having to double him often to not even having to account for him then I would be better off talking to a wall. Same thing happened when Jameson went down. Georgia no longer had to worry about being burned deep (like they had been repeatedly) and was able to shift focus to suffocating our offense. Great game plan that was assisted by injuries.

Its delusional.
Its not like that fact changes any outcomes, or takes any shine away from UGA's NC trophy. Its just the reality of things.

Sounds like a coaching and/or recruiting issue

Correct. Injuries and depth are part of the season. We had razor slim margins for a number of reasons (massive loss of production from the prior year, recruiting misses, etc), and when we lost those 2 guys we didn't have another explosive option on offense. Elite teams are able to overcome that stuff, we weren't because we were flawed. That's part of being a championship team.

I suppose 2020 UGA is the same as 2021 UGA. I can’t think of any important players on ‘21 that didn’t contribute in ‘20.
Other than the best TE in the country
And our most productive WR
And the WR who caught the go ahead TD in the natty
And our all american DB who clinched the championship with a pick six
According to you guys, all of this shouldn't matter, and those positions should be able to be adequately filled by the next player

So Georgia's defense didn't stop Bryce Young in the national championship game?? Kelee Ringo wants a word.

It's a "lose your entire offense to the NFL" issue. It takes time to become a unit that can be better than the best defense in the country.
I don't think you'd be super excited with the results if we rolled Georgia's defense out tomorrow against Ohio State's offense. Every little inexperienced mistake would be magnified by 10. In 15 weeks though? Probably be a much different story.

Sure, I'll give you that Kirby did a better job against him in the NC than in the SECCG where Bryce literally won the Heisman against Kirby's defense.

I’m being facetious to prove a larger point that being so impacted by an injury or two is a material flaw in a team, and arguing that “we would have won if all our players were healthy” in contact football is an exercise in unrealistic hypotheticals.
