Fromm made some precise throws on fades when the Bulldogs scored their only touchdown but other than those four plays he was absolutely dreadful (7 of 19 for 53 yards).


The entire article is bullshite from a sore loser. Mond threw almost double the number of passes as Fromm. Take away his seven longest throws and his completion % is under 50% and his yardage is 158, less than Fromm.
anybody her that accepts this shite as meaningful is just not much of a Dawg fan.

That doesn't happen nearly as much as when everything doesn't work on the play and Fromm throws an accurate pass but we still don't get much if anything out of it. He had a rough first half on Saturday in wet conditions but his season hasn't looked that way by any stretch. There's a lot more to our offensive dysfunction than errant throws, yet those are what are getting the focus of folks like yourself.


Errant throws are what I am talking about as they have happened too often recently. We comfortably beat Florida, mizzou, and Texas a&m if the only thing that changes is accurate from passes to open wrs downfield.

I feel like this is wrong, unless I'm misremembering.

Time and time again, A&M didn’t have to do much but crowd the box and allow Georgia backs to come to them. Nothing came easy for the Bulldogs and while A&M had something to do with that Georgia really was their own worst enemy time and time again both in philosophy and execution.


This gives me a sad.

It's week 11, man....these excuses no longer fly.


I've watched every play of every game, and replays of most. I have yet to see one of our vaunted 5* WRs put a move on a DB and put distance between them. The long catch in the Florida game was a bad decision on the DB and the WR still had to slow down and wait for the ball.\We should put White and Cook in the slot and run them on slants or outs on every pass play. Anything would be an improvement on what we see now.

I've been critical of Jake all season, but I'm betting this he and this offense score over 40 in each of the next 2 games.

There is no reason this team can't flip a switch. Skill level is high enough and the experience is certainly there. Playcalling has improved over the season and so have the young players both on O and D. Just need to put it together, and despite the score v A&M a real look at the performance will tell you this is really the closest the team has been all season.

It's coming.

I'm just being a Disney Dawg, but I am hoping that we're saving some creativity for the SECCG

We played pretty well vs Bama last year and I feel like we'll do the same vs LSU.

He is a nice guy who makes good observations most of the time but he can’t be unbiased when it comes to Fromm. This is a guy who has admitted watching the games 3-4 times and keeps notes, charts, stats, etc. on Fromm since his freshman year. He is to vested in Fromm’s performance and career at UGA to be emotionally unattached to the analysis of Fromm’s season thus far.

My biggest frustration is folks shitting all over these young receivers because they play like young receivers while ignoring all of the things their veteran QB hasn't done to help them out.

Still, Fromm isn't as bad as folks are making him out to be. Even if he's under 50% he's still gone every game but one without an interception. With a D like UGA has that is incredibly important, and it will keep you in every game.

We know he can make those missed throws, so I'm not worried about that so much. I just want some heads up, veteran play from the upperclassman. Make the right read. Take what's given & let the game come to you instead of forcing things.

There aren't many people walking around thinking, "Everyone else is so rational and I'm being irrational." One thing I've noticed about myself and others is that degree of confidence on an opinion (aka fact) correlates poorly with degree of accuracy.
Most people don't even think in terms of rationality vs. irrationality. This country is full of people who speak, act, vote, etc. on pure emotion. I see a lot of that on this board.

Well said, way too emotionally attached to Fromm.

You are doing the Lord's work FooMan keep at it. Everything you have said to this point is dead on from a football knowledge standpoint. But you can't expect some of these dipshits to be rational. Be happy when Fromm goes to the league and fricking balls out.

This is about as rational as I can be:

Everyone is to blame a little for the offense we currently have. Fromm has definitely missed some throws, and this game was one of his worst in that regard. There were some pretty bad ones early on, and yes I know it was raining. Other than that, he's been fairly solid. Our receivers are young and inexperienced and it shows. No separation, though that's getting better. Our offensive line has been lights out in pass protection. Seems like Fromm has days to sit back there and look around sometimes. The run blocking has been good not great. The OC is decent, but not great (not even good). Play calling has been atrocious at times. RBs have stepped up and played well when we've needed them to, but I don't think we've scared anyone with our running game this year like they were the previous two. We have the players and the talent, but for some reason we haven't been able to put it all together yet. I think that's on the coaching.

This is exactly it. It's the same as those Richt supporters who would always make excuses for Richt.

These people are so invested that changing their mind would be to admit they are wrong and they can never do that. One of the crazy things I see here is how people still decredit Justin Fields every chance they get because giving credit to Fields would imply that they and Kirby chose the wrong QB.

Everything he has stated is BS. You can also spare us this nonsense about Xs and Os and being more knowledgeable about football.

Absolutely.The OL run blocking has been inconsistent at best.

Really starting to worry about our run game next year with Swift gone.

You don’t do yourself any favors when you talk of choosing QBs.

Fromm has missed some throws....the receivers need to do a better job on the release, making reads and running routes... the coaches need to do a better job designing and putting them in the right plays.
