Beck has not looked great, but I truly believe a lot of it is how fricking terrible his receivers are. That has to throw a QB off.

Our defense has been good, but can't stay off the field because of our shitty offense.

Bobo play calling is so predictable. The ole miss coaches were calling the screen pass, as was everyone else in America, well before we threw it. Unbelievable

Our basics have been overlooked, besides the aforementioned catches, our tackling is not only bad, but lazy. How do we go from a team that lays people out to standing around watching people score??

Look, Kirby is obviously amazing, and I won't doubt him. But something is just off about this team compared to others. Hopefully we can get it figured out and still make the playoffs and win another natty.

At the end of the day, I would much rather be a UGA fan than any other team, let's go dawgs!!!

Saw too many "business decisions" being made and not tackling with good form/technique. Too many ankle/shoestring tackle attempts that did not have to be. I think I saw at least 3 examples of that.

Yea, not being able to tackle their gimpy QB, Dart, was the epitome of our team failure in Oxford.

Stats call it a dropped pass when it's too high, too far behind, too low etc. as long as the reciever gets a finger on it.

There's been a lotta on target passes dropped by the Wrs too. Not all on Beck by any means, he's trying to make something happen but hes constantly under pressure from an OL that cannot run block, pass block or pick up a blitz on a consistent basis...

All I got is Bobo is OC and I think QB coach(QB issues?). Coley is WR coach (WR issues?) and Searles at OL coach ( supposedly one of the best OL's in nation?).

Can't pass, can't catch, can't block... can't take credit for it but someone said, "Richt coaches result in Richt results"

but imma sure I'll be told I don't know shite and they're prolly right...

You are right on target.
We can only hope that Kirby will objectively evaluate the quality of his offensive coaching staff.
And yea, we need better offensive players too.

If Beck sees a DB closing on a WR he will throw the ball to his other side to avoid an INT. Those sometimes result in dropped passes and fans roast the QB. Great receivers adjust and catch those balls (see Bowers and McConkey). We don't have those receivers any more except for Lovett and (believe it or not) Cash Jones.
