All bias aside what is your honest opinion?

The fix is more bubble screens for 2 yard gains. 200 of those and we have 400 yards passing.

No - our philosophy is "ball control" drives that leave us no room for error on penalties or mistakes. I've got no problem with ball control offense if we are responding to defenses stacking the box. The problem is we are not doing that and so here we are drinking and dunking against a team that's got all but one defender within 5 yards of the LOS.
The other challenge with good ball control offenses is that they can be beaten by explosive offensive teams who can get them behind early. Our defense is good but we aren't holding a lot of these top offenses below at least 28-31 points if we play them.

In my amateur opinion, UGA could fix a lot if they could figure out a way to attack the middle of the field behind the LBs with the slot guy or TE. Just make the LBs think about backing up for at least a moment.

It's fixable in 2 days time, it's all up to whether Kirby (and to a lesser extent, Coley) want to actually change the way we do things.
It's not difficult to incorporate more slants, screens, seam routes, intermediate passes, and outside runs (which move the chains exponentially better for us than runs up the middle) into your playcalling. You just have to actually want to do that.

Agreed. I think it's more of a risk tolerance problem than anything.
That, and Fromm needs to be sharp.

It's fixable with a new offense that instills innovation into play-calling. Other teams get wide-open receivers because they execute schemes that confuse the defense. Meanwhile our offense is transparent aka completely predictable. Any team that is capable of shutting down our running game is a potential loss on our schedule.

UGA will look like a different team in Jax

Sorry to continue to beat this drum...but everybody needs to go to YouTube and watch FooManChoo's video of Fromm passing versus both Notre Dame and Tennessee. Just watch and see how many times we attack the middle of the field with throws over 10-15 yards. Folks I counted only one. And it was a broken coverage against Tennessee where Cager was left all alone with no one with 10 yards of him.
To me this is the problem.
The book on stopping Georgia's offense is to sell out to stop the run(run blitzing on early downs and always having more defenders in the box then we can block). Then to play man to man on the receivers on the outside. The defensive backs are sitting on these sideline routes because we do not throw over the middle of the field.
Against a team with a good defense with good cornerbacks this makes us easy to defend. Everybody wants to b*tch about our receivers not getting open... well no shat. Defenses are playing our tendencies on where we throw the ball and they know they don't have to cover the whole field.
I hope. I really hope we come out against Florida and break tendency and attack the middle of the field in the passing game. It will also open up our running game. It won't take much. Just some tweaks.
I am tired of our chicken shat offense and looking at Fromm's stats at the end of the first quarter and having him be 6/7 for 14 yards. That is crap. The kid is a junior and we are told he is elite when it comes to pre snap reads etc etc etc. I don't get it. If we want to be an "elite" smash mouth team running the football we have to throw the ball downfield...period. The short little throws around the LOS don't help us in that regard because defenses are already stacking the box. It is stupid.
If we come out versus Florida with the same status quo offense we are going to beat and Coley needs fired ASAP.

No, we've played 7 games. We are what we are.

How about UF? If we do not make changes, they will pummel us.

Bunch of chicken littles, UF will not pummel us for frick sake. They struggled to beat Miami and almost lost to uk, should have lost to uk.

Want to see more (not all, just more) outside the T run plays & more over the middle pass plays. These 2 changes would go against our offensive tendencies: running up the gut; throwing back shoulder sidelines.
Against SCAR, we had slot receivers & RBs open — and I mean WIDE OPEN — in the middle of the field & Fromm forced throws to predetermined targets along the sidelines time & time again only to have the SCAR defenders bat the passes away. Just watch the last series in regulation. Stole defeat from the jaws of victory that game.

Wouldn't have mattered, hell, as hard as it was raining we should have put Swift or Wolf in the wildcat and just direct snapped it and played man ball. That is where Kentucky's success came from.
Why even worry with a handoff in those conditions.

We also qualify for the definition of fanaticism: "Redoubling your effort when you've forgotten your goal."
