re: Concerning the 2021 UGA National Championship

Kirby owns their petty little minds, rent free. They sucked arse last year.

Stop living in the past and making excuses.

Bama lots of National Championships but even more excuses.....

We won the more important one....

No where near as much as bama said since actually losing to Ga in the real world..... Roll God Damn Excuses.

You are ONE loss away from imploding and I am going to be right here driving the stake through your black and red hearts.

In ‘17 UGA won the SEC and lost a heartbreaker to Bama for the NC.

Don’t recall a single UGA fan beating their chest afterwards with a pathetic flex, ‘Yeah, suck it, we’re the SEC champs!’

It just occurred to me that they didn't have to play LSU during the season

You mean, it took a year for you to realize this?

Arterial flows to the brain run veeeery slow in Alabama, I see.

There's a reason why UGA was the unanimous #1 team going into the SECCG, and we got that spot after Alabama lost to 8-4, A&M.

We also beat our opponents by considerable margins, with only the first game of the season against a ranked Clemson being the only outlier offensively. Our defense was consistently suffocating and we were otherwise consistently putting up decent points against everyone we played. We blew out teams rather than won close games, unlike Alabama, who had close wins against Florida (we smoked them), LSU (who ended the season 6-7), Arkansas (we smoked them), and Auburn (we smoked them). We even blew out our playoff semi-final opponent worse than Bama did (we played #2 and you played #4). Finally, we beat Bama in the rematch by nearly as many points as Bama beat us in the SECCG.

Overall, our team seemed to be the better team from start to finish. What you're talking about as being a "Barney" team did better against our common opponents than Bama did and we did better against our more highly ranked CFP opponent. What is in question is really a single game, and when you look harder at it, really it's just a single quarter in a single game. I wouldn't call an outlier being "exposed".

Had things not gone their way at the end of the year and the Committee had to make the choice between them and teams that were conference champs with as good or better records and wins they don't get that rematch. No way to justify choosing them and UGA fans know it.

That's absurd. As I just pointed out, UGA had a dominant season and played better than Alabama against common opponents, and we didn't even have a regular season loss. We were statistically better than most other teams in college football and passed the eye test. We were going to be in the playoffs regardless of what happened in the SECCG.

The team they faced in the finals was not the team they faced in Atlanta because of injuries. That team in Atlanta was a bad matchup for them and again UGA fans know it.

You are being very myopic about this. You think that all else was equal and that only the injuries to Metchie and Williams were the differences between those two games. You ignore the fact that UGA's defense deviated from the rest of the season by focusing on containing Young in the SECCG, which opened up the field for the other receivers, and how we didn't bring pressure against Young nearly as much, which let him throw at-will. We changed our game plan in round 2 and had much better success. Young wasn't nearly as accurate on critical downs with that pressure in his face.

Also, it was a point of concern for our defense that they were out of shape with their conditioning. They had beaten up on everyone all season and didn't have to play 4 quarters of football until the SECCG. They spent the next month working hard on conditioning and looked like the same dominant unit that played the rest of the season in the semi-finals and in the NCG.

But, the perfect storm happened, things fell into place for them. Part of the game and they won. It takes getting breaks to win it all.

It's true that we benefited from having Williams and Metchie out of the NCG, but Alabama wasn't the only team missing players. Bama fans are quick to point out a few missing pieces while ignoring that UGA also had missing pieces, or simply saying "well that's different". Yes, injuries do happen, which is why it's always important to have depth. That's been the knock against other conferences for years compared to the SEC: the SEC has depth and the other conferences--generally speaking--don't. We recruit well and have backups to fill gaps when starters can't play. Alabama is 3 or 4 deep at all positions with 4- and 5-star talent, so injuries shouldn't have been much of an excuse anyway.

It's not like you had absolute scrubs at WR, and since you still had the Heisman winner in Young, you should have been able to do almost as well if not as well without Williams and Metchie. In fact, the stat sheet looks like you did in terms of passing yards in the NCG vs. the SECCG. The difference was that UGA gave up less big plays and was able to shut down Bama in the red zone, forcing FGs instead of TDs. It's likely we hold you without a single TD if not for that questionable call on the fumble that gave you prime field position.

So yes, injuries are a part of the game, but with a talent-rich team like Bama, they shouldn't be critical. You guys won two prior games against us by voluntarily subbing out your starting QBs (arguably the most important position) for the backups and riding them to victory.

Perhaps if you had a better team last season, you would have crushed more teams and been able to get those backups more playing time like we did so that they would be ready in the spotlight.
