The NC game defense was better because of who was missing from Bama.


Hang on to that. It'll keep you warm in the cold winter nights.

They have been refuted too many times. You would rather live in "What if..." land.

They've already been refuted, but the Bama fans, or the cry-baby ones at least, refuse to admit it. UGA had injuries all year long. Bennett was playing because Daniels got hurt. Bowers and Mitchell, the 2 that caught those 4th quarter TDs only had the playing time they had because Washington and Pickens were hurt. We had many more too. But the injuries never hurt us. We mopped the floor with everyone we played all year. Heck, even when Bama was full strength, they still struggled and nearly lost to LSU, UF and Auburn, all teams that ended up with losing records. Championship teams have depth, adapt and win anyway. The injuries never hurt us.
Our D harrassed the Bama O all night. Young was under pressure, ended up throwing a pick 6, heck, the last play of the game was an easy sack. So, forget the injuries, we both had them and we dominated anyway. That's what championship teams do.
My Bama friend told me he never heard any UGA fans complaining about injuries (even though we had them) after the SECCG. And he said, "So, you're not gonna hear me whining after the NC game...congratulations, UGA was the better team." Now THAT is a mature, man-of-a-Bama fan that I can respect.

Chris Smith
Started all 15 games.

Kearis Jackson - played in all 15 games.

George Pickens - played in the SECCG 5 weeks prior and stated he was 100 pct.

Tate Ratlede - one of 2 actual starters who was injured.

Tykee Smith - injured early but came back and played the rest of the year.

Jalen Kimber - projected as 3rd string corner on first 2021 depth chart.

Arian Smith - didn't start in the 1st game when he was healthy and had 1 catch for 6 yards against Clemson.

Blaylock - top recruit? Really?

Adam Anderson - wasn't a Georgia player in Dec or Jan.

You had 2 starters out with injuries for the NC game. The other besides Ratledge was Ringo, who you didn't mention. You are using backups, players who had played very little even when healthy, recruiting rankings, while I'm talking about starters who actually started. Kirby said you were the healthiest you had been in a long time while Bama was the unhealthiest it had been at any other time. When the teams were fairly even in injuries Bama won convincingly. When the injury situation was heavily in Georgia's favor you won in the last minute.

I counted the starters injured and out for the NC game. It was just far fewer than Bama. I'm not counting the Georgia injuries that actually helped them.

Which was a good thing for Georgia.

You don't need to adapt when you have only a couple of starters out with injury. That's about the best possible scenario for a football team.

You didn't hear Georgia fans complaining about injuries after the SECCG since the teams were even in that regard. When the teams were even Bama won convincingly.

They can't be refuted since there are starting lineups, the game itself, etc.

Which has nothing to do with the 2 games between Bama and Georgia.

How old did you say you were? For the last time, UGA had injuries ALL YEAR LONG. We had injuries mounting up all season and was missing many players in the SECCG. But again, it never hurt us. Which is more than you can say for Bama.
You can keep on trying to make yourself feel better about it, but it doesn't change anything. UGA was the better team. Many of your own fans are man/woman enough to admit it, but you are in that faction of whiners that are still in denial.
When UGA loses, there is no whining and excuse making. You don't hear Smart sniffling and whining and throwing out excuses. That's what makes UGA a championship team, with a championship coach.

Jesus man lol.. it's ok to just lose a game to a better team once in a while. You look like a baby trying to dispute all this injury bs. You lost. UGA was the better team. And are probably the favorites to win it again this year. You've had your decade. Other teams might just be catching up to Ole Bama and Saban. It's gonna be ok bro.. maybe take a walk.. or a lap.

This is only because you chose to not include all of the uga players. How convenient that is for your coping.

I think the exponentially better offense in 2022 more than makes up for the slightly worse defense

Yeah, I'd say this would be the case.

Consider the loss to Alabama in the SEC in 21, vs the win over Ohio State in last year's playoffs.

Bama could move on that D, won by 10+.
Ohio State moved even better, but UGA could keep pace and still eventually won.

Hard to compare when one played Bama twice and the other did not play them. I would have argued 2022 had the quality of the UT win held up.

Georgia's best pass rusher did not play in either game.

again, that D was entirely different than in the other 14 games played. We played them a month later wiht our "normal" D and held them to all field goals except for a fluky TD.

With OSU, we flat out couldn't stop them for a half. They were workiing us. Something liek that would not happen to 2021's defense.

Also 2022 did have a couple clunkers taht stand out. We had a major "WTF?" game against missouri that we were lucky to escape. Trailed most of the game, finally went ahead very late and hung on to win by 4. Teh UK game we kept getting held ot field goals or shot ourselves in the foot and won a boring 16-6 game. EVery othe rregular season game was won handily.

IN 2021 we played a stinker against clemson in the opener but were hell on wheels eveyr other week after that. Our next closest regular season game was a 3 possesion win over a UK team that was top 10 and finished with 10 wins.

Somewhere out there a Texas fan is crying about the 09 championship where their 4 year All American QB was injured in the 1st quarter. A 3 point game late in the 4th quarter — surely a healthy Colt McCoy would’ve defeated Bama?

And this Bama fan’s brain implodes knowing he has to take on the exact opposite logic he is imparting onto the 2022 National championship to refute that Texas fan.

Injuries are a part of the game, but only Bama fans can make excuses for them. Classic.
