Regarding the "screw job" by the refs, did anyone actually hear or read what Kirby said?

Penalties/secondary struggles...
Yeah we grabbed them a couple of times. Guys weren't able to run with Waddle, so they reached out and grabbed him instead of putting their hands on him and stopping him. That was huge. The Stokes penalty, that was third and goal. But that was huge because you're gonna go from they're gonna kick a field goal to first and goal. You can't do that. Tyrique grabbed a guy, Stokes grabbed a guy early in the first half. It was gonna be fourth and forever and they're gonna have to punt and he grabbed and held a guy. At the end of the day the pressure they put on you with their vertical passing game and their wideouts, they force some of those penalties.
quote:
Field goal at the end of the first half and momentum...
...the official on my side said that the spike, when they spiked it, that was all the time they had. They went back and reviewed it. That goes back to the rule they put in last year. They had three seconds that they were able to spike it and they had one left and when he told me that they were done, I sent the guys in. ...but certainly shouldn't have played as soft as we did and give up three, not with that much time left.
quote:
On Stetson taking chances down the middle...
The bonehad was scrambling across the pocket and then throwing the ball across the field where nobody was there. That was really the poor decision. There were a couple of other poor decisions that it didn’t cost him, meaning he got away with it. We’ve got to help him with the run game around him because we can’t throw the ball that many times and hope to be effective.
quote:
Stetson Bennett's interceptions, doing too much and learning experience...
I'm not as frustrated with the throw as I am avoiding the pocket and leaving the pocket. He actually ran toward where the pressure was and he broke a tackle, but he ran toward where the pressure was. You can't do that. You've got to step up into the pocket in our league and be able to make throws down the field and he's shown that he can do that. He just didn't do it on that play.
quote:
Coming up short in the second half...
I do know this, if you turn it over three times in the second half and they don't turn it over any, you're probably not going to win. That's what it boils down to.

Looks like Kirby is more mature than UGAs fan base...

There was no screw job.
There was one bad PI call.

Did Kirby Smart just straight up call his starting QB a bonehead?

Does he call players boneheads on the reg?
Posted on 10/20/20 at 10:57 am to paperwasp
Yeah I thought that one PI was questionable. The reason why UGA fans were upset was because Pickens was grabbed on an identical play during the previous drive and there was no call.

Was that the play when Pickens got thrown down to the ground by Surtain and jumped up and grabbed his facemask?

Think that was Jobe and it was after that.

He actually called his QB1 a “bonehead”?
Posted on 10/20/20 at 11:01 am to paperwasp
I watched him say the bonehead thing and it was in kind of a "ah ya bonehead" way, not a mad/malicious way.
His presser was pretty refreshing, honestly.

Doesn’t he know that head referee Ken Williams is a Real Estate agent in Tuscaloosa??!?1??

No screw job. Just one bad PI call.

Actually this like every other game in the history of football had plenty of iffy calls and no calls. People just remember the stuff that breaks against them and forget the stuff that breaks "for" them. Human nature.

Not really. It was reviewed and there was not enough evidence to overturn it. Bama had a WR with a similar catch that wasn’t even reviewed, though if it was I’m sure it would’ve stood like the int. The PI call was a bad call. Not sure why it bothers bama fans. Bama was going to win regardless of the bad call or not.

Perhaps the most pivotal play in the game. It wasn’t a random PI, that was a game changing time to go up by 10 instead of 6. Everything was different after that, although we most likely would have lost.

Wasn’t bad, everyone knows that ball was on the ground, just wasn’t enough video evidence to overturn it.

When they hesitated to finally call Bama offsides and actually reviewed Georgia's third TD, you could tell the refs were on a mission and would not let Bama lose that game

So calling something an int that "everyone knows" hit the ground is not a bad call. Got it. Posted on 10/20/20 at 11:45 am to elposter

It’s not really unheard of. If you want to call the original call ‘bad’ bc if real time speed I guess you can, but you can’t tell me a molecule of lecountes arm wasn’t blocking a shred of the ball from touching a shred of the ground. It was dark under his body. Physics tells us it most likely hit the ground.
I’m glad some of you are just weird football fans and don’t have to critically think for a living.
