quote:As was stated, Oregon isn't too shabby. The problem is that we beat them so badly that their defensive numbers are negatively inflated.
What good team has Ga faced? What good defense has Ga faced?
quote:We beat all of the common opponents of Alabama worse than they did. We didn't struggle in any game outside of the first one against Clemson, and even then, our defense--which was the notable strength of our team all season--was lights-out.
People have a short memory. Last year everyone thought Ga was unbeatable until they got their butts kicked by 17 pts.
Every week we were told that we hadn't played anyone and that the next game would be the true test, and every week, we crushed our opponents. That pattern happened every week until the SECCG. Before the SECCG, there weren't any pundits saying that UGA was a paper tiger. Guys who have played, coached, and analyzed football for decades were saying that UGA was the best team out there based not just on our wins, but how we were winning.
The SECCG was the outlier, and it was really just the 2nd quarter that was the outlier.
quote:Yes, Alabama had a good team in spite of the injury excuses. Even so, they only led in the 4th quarter due to a gifted TO. They struggled to score points all game until getting a short field on a questionable fumble call.
Bama led in the 4th qtr against Ga in the Natty without their two top receivers and cornerbacks.
Even so, that's why we play 4 quarters of football. Alabama dominated the 2nd quarter of the SECCG, and UGA dominated the 4th quarter of the NCG.
quote:You're free to think what you want, but no one is saying UGA is the team to beat because we beat up cupcakes (no one was talking about the Samford game because the win was expected). However, absolutely destroying the #11 team in Oregon (and subsequently seeing Oregon rebound to their normal form) and then crushing an SEC opponent on the road by the largest margin of victory in the series history is nothing to scoff at. It's possible that we may not be as good as people are saying, but mediocre teams don't do what we did to Oregon and South Carolina is such dominating fashion.
They play patsies the next several weeks. When they curb stomp Tenn, Fla, MSU, and Kentuck I might change my mind. Right now I ain't buying it.

Your logic is not wrong, but you let others say it for your team. You never say this for your team.
This is the way.

Bama injuries beat Bama. Count it as a win and claim another national championship Gump.

Let's set the injury talk aside for a second. Is there anyone that can make a case for Georgia in the playoffs at all had Okie State made one more yard and scored to win their conference? Especially after what happened in Atlanta?
Georgia fans like to talk loud and say they were in but...you were not.
All the other contenders had equal or better records. They were all conference champions, UGA was not.
They all had better wins than Georgia did. There really would not have been a justification at that point for Georgia to have been anywhere but Bourbon Street. They caught a break, the first of many.
Pot meet kettle. I know this hypocrite sister banging redneck isn't bringing up Conference Championships and the lack of having one causing someone to be left out the playoffs. By the way Okie State didn't make that yard. So it's a moot point.

Georgia had 2 starters out with injuries and Bama had 7 by the end of a game that came down to the last possession.

+ 4 others out for other reasons including injury, but you knew that.

I know you are emotionally unable to avoid me. You fabricate injuries to make it look better even when your own sites say they are healthy, players who weren't on the team, players you wouldn't have played, etc.

Dude. You’ll be old and gray, and still won’t have what I have experienced the past 16-17 years. We are not nervous. Get over yourself. When Saban was hired all I asked for was 1. After 3 I said, ok 4. I’ve been spoiled beyond belief since.

Greedy Bammers never want to share the sunshine. Dog gets a little sun on his arse and tossing shade.
One fumble recovery we had in our hands in SEC Champ game and good chance you aren’t even in Finals.
One single pass knocked down a year before and you aren’t National Champs.
One catch a few years before that and you aren’t in and we are.
Always an if…always.

UGA's problem in the SECCG was less about covering WR's
They couldn't cover both Metchie and Williams. It really is that simple. When he played he scored twice and Metchie scored once.
REC YDS AVG TD LONG
Jameson Williams 7 184 26.3 2 67
John Metchie III 6 97 16.2 1 40.
This is why UGA lost and why they will lose again this year, just as soon as they encounter a good qb with good wr's.

UGA still would have been in a neck in neck game with Bama's WR's as they were in the SECCG if they hadn't given up 10-14 points in offensive turnovers. (one Pick 6, one turnover in Bama's redzone that eliminated a FG or TD).
Again... that was with your WR's doing what they did... UGA's issue was much more about being -2 in turnovers.
This year, UGA has yet to have a turnover. No fumbles. No picks. They're +6 on the season. For UGA to lose, it's likely going to be much more about turnover margin in a game then it is going to be about facing a good pass offense. UGA's good enough defensively and offensively to weather a good offense or defense and still do enough to win. Where a loss might come is a turnover disaster. That caused the unexpected loss to SC in 2019 (UGA was -3 in that game), the difference in the two games against Auburn in 2017 (-1 turnover margin in game 1, +2 in game 2), and the difference between the 2 Bama games last year (-2 in game 1, +1 in game 2).
In fact every loss UGA's had since 2017 except two have had UGA in the negative in turnover margin (-1 vs AU in 2017, -4 vs LSU in 2018, -2 vs Texas 2018, -3 vs SC in 2019, -2 vs LSU in 2019, -2 vs Bama in 2020, -2 vs UF in 2020 and -2 vs Bama in 2021)
UGA was +1 in margin against Bama in 2017 and +2 in 2018. UGA needed those turnovers to be close... bama had the better team both years. UGA was still building their roster up to Bama's level.
For some reason people ignore the obvious importance of turnovers... when they are most often the largest impact on the score of games. A team with a large enough talent differential on both sides of the ball can still win despite losing on the turnover margin (as Bama did in 2018 and 2017 vs UGA), but it has to be significant.
The difference wasn't there last year. Turnovers were the largest factor.

Don’t flatter yourself. It’s not you, it’s your idiotic points. Not something to be proud of.

The play count proves NONE of their absences were fabricated.

I think UGA's secondary is vulnerable to the deep ball. It would take a good qb and good wr's, to prove it. And they will encounter them eventually, and I will either be proven right or wrong. You don't have to like my opinion. This is what I think of your coach too.

Op you forget all of UGA defensive starters played with covid in SECCG last year.
