The team that thoroughly dominated Georgia in Dec had injuries to 1 starting corner, so did Georgia. Bama had 1 starting OL out, so did Georgia. Bama had 1 starting OLB out and lost its 1150 yard receiver in the first half. Those were pretty evenly matched and the game was over early 4th quarter.
In Jan, Bama had injuries to both its starting corners, its starting OLB, its starting wr, its starting center, lost its 1600 yard wr on the first offensive play of the 2nd quarter, and lost its best DL in the 4th quarter when the game was on the line. Georgia had the same 2 players out with injury. They had a starting OL go out but it actually helped them as he could have returned but Georgia liked the replacement guy more and kept him in the game. This game came down to the last minute. Despite the large discrepancy in injuries Bama still had more yards, more first downs, so the health of the teams was the difference in the game.
Georgia fans would rather bury their heads in the sand than accept these #FACTS

AUs starting QB sucked
If AU got average QB play, they beat Bama's arse.

It's Saban's fault for not picking up those medpacks before rushing the point really.

Only partially right. In total, Uga had the following not playing:
QB, WR1,WR2,LT,C,RG,OLB, and DB.
In other words, bama got lucky AF.

You know you're arguing with a troll who's probably not even an Alabama fan, right?

Talking football with a troll is better than no football talk at all.

So what? Uga was as well. That’s a wash.
What does it mean when someone can't stop themselves from responding to someone who doesn't want to have the same discussion with them that's been had repeatedly?

This is al.com-level football talk. All involved should be ashamed of themselves. Be better. Do better.

DESTROYED Georgia last year, and won the SEC Championship.
We proved who the better team was before losing our offense to injuries, and have the hardware to show for it.
Congrats to Georgia on the phenomenal luck though. It was written in the stars for yall
UGA at nowhere near full health beat Bama in the NC.
The funny thing about Bama is they think UGA was healthy for both the SECCG and the NCG. UGA wasn't even close to healthy for either, with an all american safety, leading sack producer and starting OL out and their best receivers both playing injured (because it was the NC and that's what big time players do). They were more beat up in the SECCG, starting a walkon safety instead of a NFL talent, with another OL injured and with a flu bug impacting the team.
UGA was healthier in the NC than any point all season... but they were still beat up. UGA had a ton of injury problems last year... the reason why UGA doesn't have to make excuses and Bama does is that UGA's players who came in for those injured guys stepped up. McConkey, Mitchell, Bowers... all Freshman... all stepped up. William Poole... stepped up. Stetson Bennett... stepped up. Robert Beal stepped up. Warren Ericson... stepped up. Broderick Jones... stepped up. All of these guys had to fill in due to injury and were starters in the NCG. Didn't matter. UGA won because they stepped up.
Bama's players... didn't.

No one is at full health at the end of the year but not having 7 starters is far unhealthier than most.
The Bama backups didn't do what the starters did in the SECCG but that's a different topic than missing your best players. I don't know what you mean about stepping up with those players on the list since most were starters anyway. Starters don't have to step up. And, it's easier to step up when you aren't going against the best players on the other team. .

Too bad they didn't play a "best of 3" game.

No, in fact they weren't starters. None of them was on UGA's week 1 starting lineup. All of them had to play due to injuries but were able to step up... and many never gave back their starting spot (like Stetson Bennett never giving JT Daniels back his starting spot.
The reason you can't even recognize that they weren't all backups to start the season is that they stepped up to the level you consider them starters.
Week 1 starters:
QB - JT Daniels (got injured, not playing at end of year), replaced by #3 on Depth chart.
WR1 - Kearis Jackson (got injured and played limited rest of year, replaced by #3 Ladd McConkey due to #2 Arian Smith getting injured as well)
WR2 - Marcus Rosemy Jacksaint... replacement for George Pickens (got injured, replaced by #3 AD Mitchell who never let go of position... #2 Dominick Blaylock was injured as well)
TE - Darnell Washington (got injured early, Brock Bowers took spot and never gave it back)
OG - Tate Ratledge. (got injured early. Missed rest of season. Replaced by Warren Ericson.
OT - Jamaree Salyer (got injured for 2-3 games, played injured for 2-3 more... Broderick Jones filled in and played so well that in NC game Salyer moved to guard to let Jones on the field)
LB - Adam Anderson (got suspended. Robert Beal stepped in and led UGA in sacks)
Star - Tykee Smith (former all american. Injured all but 2 games for the year, replaced successfully by Latavius Brini... then when he got hurt William Poole)
UGA's backups shined to the point you didn't see them as backups. But they were only playing their roles due to injury... they just performed awesomely when given the chance.

You never proved this fact wrong because you can’t.

Didn’t Ohio State beat the piss out of Bama with a 3rd string QB in 2014??

Is it possible for you to leave me alone and allow me to engage others?

JT Daniels - Georgia actually benefitted by this. That's why Daniels transferred when Bennett announced he was coming back.
The only receiver that wasn't able to play in the NC game was a backup so those who started were the starters.
Washington played and was healthy for the NC game. Bowers was the starter for the NC game because he is the better player.
The only OL not available for the NC game was the OG.
Anderson wasn't on the Georgia team in Jan. This is about injuries, not a player not playing by choice.
Smith was a starter who was injured and couldn't play, like the OG. Those were legit losses.
