“ Bama staff Chokes huge lead”

As much as I was elated by the win, I’m still perplexed how DeBoer and his staff could not stop Beck in the 2nd half. The odds of Bama winning that game after the dogs went ahead were not high.

I think the coaching staff, especially our OC quit doing what worked in the first half. Oh, you say Kirby and his staff adjusted? You would be correct. They did an outstanding job and almost won.

Why did Alabama’s staff not respond to Kirby?

That’s the question I have for DeBoer.

PS: another classic dog fan. We will see you again in the playoffs.

Deboer pulled the same shite last year vs. Texas in the CFP. We played like shite and Penix and his WRs were on fire. We had no business throwing into the endzone to win it.

But had it been UGA who blew a 28 point lead, not a single person would be criticizing Kirby but instead laughing at Deboer for failing to seal the deal.

Largely a myth perpetuated by the crew calling the game. He did have a much better 2nd half than he did the 1st half, but he threw multiple balls that could have/should have been intercepted, and he was still largely ineffective outside of chunk plays and 4th down conversions.

19 of 33 (57%) with 2 turnovers in the 2nd half, playing catch up the entire half. He made some good throws. He also looked like dog shite several times and got incredibly lucky on some bad throws that fell incomplete.

If I had told you before the game that we would hold Beck to a 57% completion percentage and force him to turn the ball over twice, you'd say we mud holed him.

Bottom line is Alabama and Georgia are pretty much equal and we have been fortunate to win most of the games and this year the difference is Milroe running. We could have lost all those games to Georgia or won them off a couple of plays. It’s fun to own uga but if you can barely own someone, it’s barely. So 2 good teams someone had to win

Congratulations, Bama......just what are you guys pouring into our Gatorade every time we play you guys?

Seriously, Bama came prepared and ready to play....Georgia did not. Therein lies the problem -- and big question: why not?

After a disastrous first quarter, UGA looked like its old self again, but why did they wait until after spotting the Tide 28 points? Again, that ol' Bama magic just seems to have the Dawgs bewitched resulting in another very close, yet very winnable game for the Red & Black that goes down into the loss column.

I will say this.....it's about time Alabama comes to ATHENS.....Bama has been to Athens only three times in the past 22 years: 2003, a 37-23 win by the Dawgs; 2008, a 41-30 win by the Tide; and 2015, a 38-10 win by the Tide. The rest of the 11 meetings since then have either been in Atlanta (5), Tuscaloosa (4). One meeting was in Indianapolis for the national championship won by the Dawgs, 33-18. Georgia is 4-9 vs. the Tide since 2002.

What another gut-wrenching, heart-breaking loss for the Dawgs -- again -- to the Tide. Oh, well. Bama deserves the win and I'm confident the Dawgs & Tide will meet again later this year.

Alabama is 9-1 against Georgia in their last ten games.

We get that you dislike Alabama.

But this is too far for anyone to agree with.

Big plays in close games count. Sorry your arse is chapped you can’t double down on the Milroe/Deboer is trash story line you have been pushing this year.

Last year it was Milroe/Saban are trash.

You need to be more subtle with your Alabama alters.

Outside of 2020 and the 2021 SECCG, the rest of the games could have easily gone either way. Georgia has been unfortunate enough to draw the shite end of the stick. That's why I hate playing Georgia over any other team because we always win by an arse hair and truth be told, some of those games we had no business winning. Hell we don't win the 2017 NC game if Saban doesn't bench Hurts. That was pure shite luck for UGA.

But I think a rematch is bad juju for Bama. I sure as hell don't want to play you guys again but we could very well play two more times this season.

How many times have we beaten you in Atlanta (which is an undebatable home game for Georgia) since 2003?

So, I think we can retire that idea that Bama won't play Georgia IN Georgia. Bama has beaten UGA in Georgia several times since then (and many times before).

It was a weird, exciting game. I don’t think either teams have ever played that type of game before.

Bama under Saban never relinquished those kinds of leads (let me finish that’s not an attack on Deboar) but also I’ve never seen a Kirby team play like they did in the 2nd half. Kirby post game said they went into 2nd half with 4 down mentality. I’ve never seen a Kirby type team attack attack attack on offense like they did like that. Usually it’s teams playing against Georgia like that bc they’re down so much. A type of wreckless aggression that was concise and dangerous but also leads to more risks, ie turnovers.

Kirby’s in game management is pretty similar to Saban’s. Break teams down with depth, play conservative and take calculated shots when they’re there. You never see Kirby deviate from that, for good and bad. Last night was different. And it might open up the Georgia offense more for the entire season.

I personally would be worried for everyone else playing Georgia this year. They lost the game, but in their loss it looks like they opened up the offense more than they have in the last 2 years.

Dude, there's people criticizing Kirby right and left right now. There were Dawgs criticizing Kirby and the staff after the Clemson win.

My concern as a Fan who doesn’t know DeBoer, is how much of the Defensive play calling does DeBoer involve himself with or does he completely defer to Womack?

Those multiple 4th down conversions if even half had failed, would most probably turned into points for Bama. The score might have been a blowout. Kirby was desperate and to his credit and I’ll say mucho luck, converted.

Why was Bama not able to stop these? That’s my only concern coming from this game.

Otherwise, the narrative if Bama had lost for DeBoer would have been he was outcoached by Kirby and maybe the stage was too big for him. We’ll never know.

So before yesterday, the series had been played 3 times in Tuscaloosa and 3 times in Athens?

Why are you trying to imply it's been some incredibly lopsided number of home games for Alabama?

Any fan/student of the Game would wonder the same thing.
No matter who you root for. Georgia clearly adjusted. Why didn't we counter? Change up to
Neutralize what they did? Isn't that
A Offensive coordinators job?
We're they playing Not to lose?
Clearly they almost blew it.

UGA 2-5 in this stretch, all dawg home games. Can go back further if he likes, but it just gets worse. This dude sure he wants 'Bama to play in Athens more often?
