I don't want to put words in his mouth since that's who you replied to, but I think his point was basically this:
When UGA has lost this game, it's primarily been because we are clearly inferior. 2011 and 2019 especially we barely belonged on the same field as LSU, I don't think any of our fans have any problems admitting yall were simply the far better team. The one time we came out ahead, in a game that LSU was favored and ranked int he top 5, you never hear about it being because we were simply better and had your number, it's always because of katrina and no bye week. Call it what you want but that IS an excuse. Not having a day of rest midway through the season (like 5 or 6 weeks prior to the SECCCG) doesn't explain your corners biting hard as frick on pump fakes twice in the first quarter. Or your QB throwing a pick 6 late in the second half.

Will he throw the ball away (get rid of it quick)?
No. His biggest drawback is his hesitancy to throw if there is only a small window. It works out sometimes because he is so phenomenal with his ability to scramble. But obviously this is the best defense he will face, so I don’t think that will be the case as much Saturday.

Well it’s not at home where you lost 40-13 to the Vols, so that’s clearly a plus
You’re upset and that’s understandable. LSU ended Tennessee’s golden era in 2001.
21 years later, in the greatest season for Tennessee s this millennium, Tennessee beat LSU, yet is at home in December while LSU plays for yet another conference title.

You’re really gonna go to your grave with that narrative huh? Lol

Obviously when you don’t play well
It’s usually because of a bunch of things. Pointing out reasons why you may have played poorly I guess is an excuse, but I feel like 2011 and 2019
LSU was clearly the superior team. 2003 they were better, but not to the degree of the other two above. LSU played a phenomenal game in 2003 and it got out of hand. 2005 I thought the teams were fairly evenly matched. LSU was absolutely terrible in that game and got smashed. Call it an excuse or a reason, but you will not be able to convince me that wasn’t an exhausted football team that day. Doesn’t matter because Georgia got the trophy, but if we’re going to explain the reason for what happened in these four games, that’s absolutely a legitimate point. Call it what you want. I pointed out the fact reasons (or excuses if you prefer) were given for Georgia’s losses (James Coley, weaker version of ‘02 team), but nothing said about 2005.

For the first half of the season, no QB stood in the pocket to deliver the passes.
Everything was a quick throw or quick scramble and throw away.
Spencer Rattler immediately started retreating on each snap and throwing off his back foot in retreat (3 INTs. But 0 sacks). It was comical.
Finally, we played Florida and AR15 attempted to make plays in the pocket when they were down (3 sacks).
Hendon Hooker did the same thing when they were down big (6 sacks).
And the Georgia Tech QB showed some balls by standing in the pocket all game to deliver the ball (4 sacks).
We have 191 QB hurries so far.
Pressuring the QB has not been a problem this season.

this is literally the first time I've ever said it, I think? Not really the sandline you're making it out to be. I also didn't make hte point originally Dirtydawg did, I was just providing clarificaiton to the lsu guy

no "feel" about it, they were. And UGA fans will quickly and without hesitation point that out.
In 2 of these meetings yall kicked our arse and we have no porblem saying it's because yall were undoubteldy the better team. In 1 o fthese meetings we kicked your arse and the first reponse is "we didn't have a bye that's why"

it's not nearly as legitimate as yall make it out to be. A bye week is generally abotu the halfway poitn of the season, or in LSU's case as of late before bama. Well lo and behold LSU played North Texas on 10/29 and App state on 11/5 prior to the bama game. Combined score of both those home games? 80-3. You may not have had a bye in the sense that they can kick their feet up on the couch but let's not act like that 2 week time span in utter blowouts against barely 1A level teams took much of a toll.
And again, it'd be a toally different argument hadthe game played out in a different way. Look at the natty last year; in the 4th quarter we pounded bama's DL play after play after play and wore them down. If that was the exact same as the 05 game I would absolutely agree that tired legs probably got the best of you. But that game was 21-7 before you could even blink on the back of 2 pump fake long balls. That has nothing to do with conditioning or being tired, it had to do with our SEC Player of the Year playing well and making good throws. Teh pick 6 in the 2nd half to ice the game had nothing to do with conditioning.
I think from a UGA perspective, it's not so much an issue that we're mad about or angry over, it's more just a head shake and a chuckle that yall seem to REFUSE to give us credit when we go out of the way to profusely give credit to your teams that kicked our arse in those other games.

We don't have one, altie.

Whatever you want to think. I won’t go into all the things that 2005 team had to deal with. We got our arse kicked in the SEC Championship game by a team that was comparable talent wise. Never said we would have definitely won if the game would have taken place a week later. Georgia played fantastic, Shockley played fantastic, LSU was terrible. I think the reason we couldn’t give you a game was because we were an exhausted football team. My opinion.
