They lost in triple overtime to *checks notes* Kentucky and Arkansas.

I don’t think UGA losing was particularly surprising considering we have started slow every game this year, and eventually figuring out some semblance of an offense to put up points, and our defense was leaky against literally everybody. I think the most frustrating thing was that the coaching was flat out terrible. Kirby went to half time with two time outs in his pocket instead of using them when we had a few key stops deep in the second and when we did put fields in we would often put him in for one play and sub him out, and that play was literally the same play every time. I know Fields probably doesn’t have the whole playbook down, but if he doesn’t have enough to run more than a basic RPO where he hands off the ball, I dunno what to say. We also were gashing LSU with our run game, especially with Holyfield, but we seemed to abandon the run game. The fake field goal was seen from 50 miles away and trying a fake philly special on a two point conversion when we just needed points and the game hadn’t gotten fully out of hand by then was a bit ill advised. I don’t really know what the long term answer is, I don’t know if it’s fields coming in and having more control, I don’t know if the movement of Cheney from Qb coach to tight end coach had hurt development, or we are just young on defense and have to wait a year for them to carry us again. Thats a lot of words but this game was a long time coming for us and I’m not even mad, just confused at what we do next.

Their loss against Akron was a fluke where they had three turnovers returned for touchdowns in a half. The rest has been standard operating procedure for them, though Larkin’s retirement will ultimately cost them.

This is the first loss of the Richt era that has me waking up upset. That loss was all on him and I understand George fans better now. The defense played at a championship level and Richt's garbage decisions made it all wasted. Who runs a FB dive 3 plays in a row. They made it clear they were keyed on it. Bootleg out and it's a TD. Why bench Perry? Let him take his lumps and learn. Rosier played worse. Also, why not give perry any easy throws to bring him along and give him a chance? Why did the offense take 4 minutes to score when down 10 with 7 minutes left in the game? The clock ran down on almost every play. Our defense had 3 INTs, 4 sacks and a poo poo ton of TFLs. This wasn't on them.

What is the long term solution for targeting? As someone who didn’t play and honestly doesn’t understand the “they’re trying to reteach tackling” there’s always people mad about RBs dropping their head at the last minute. I get both sides, and there’s always going to be people blaming penalties/refs but this as-aggressive-as-you’re-going-to-get from a coach sums up my thoughts: quote:“The thing that is difficult to coach and teach is, when a defender has already gone into position to make a tackle,” Odom said, “... and also the ball-carrier, at the last minute, lowers as well to try to get a couple more yards or inches or whatever it is — when you’ve already gone into position to make a tackle and the ball-carrier does that after you’ve already gone into position, it’s really hard to get into position where it’s not a targeting.”

Except the defender is never allowed to lead with the crown of the helmet no matter where they’re aiming on the ball carrier, and helmet to helmet is otherwise legal on a non-defenseless player (like a RB running with the ball). Just keep your head up and it doesn’t matter whether the RB goes low or not.

It was straight up a good rule once they got rid of the yardage penalty on overturned calls, and it's 1000x better than the stupid poo poo the NFL is doing

Henchman of Santa posted:I believe it was Marquis de Pyro who called him a "hate golem" and it's really stuck with me as the best descriptor If I did I stole it from the internet, I've definitely seen it around for years. In a weird way, it's kind of too bad, I think Dantonio is a fantastic coach but he actually does get the DISRESPECT (that he secretly feeds on of course) because of his miserable attitude. I think way more Michigan fans would admit Tressell and Meyer are all time great coaches than Dantonio, which is a shame. On the other hand, I hope he dies soon.

I still can’t believe we won that game. Tennessee hasn’t beaten an SEC West opponent on the road since 2004 against Ole Miss. Playcalling was suspect at times but Guarantano was 8/8 168 yards with a TD on 3rd and long. I like the fight in these guys. If Butch is still here we don’t win that game.

So far that's worked on a level around "annoyingly successful," but you could see yesterday's meltdown coming from a mile away. At least this loss feels better than the Auburn one last year – in that one, we looked thoroughly inferior, in this one, we looked like a talented team that couldn't get its head out of its rear end. Bye week's coming at a good time. And there needs to be a whole lotta soul searching from the staff, who got their nuts stuffed in a salad shooter by Ed Orgeron. Our offensive gameplan right now is a loving mess and doesn't need to be. Fromm was brutal yesterday; there were ways to mitigate that and the Dawgs just...didn't. At all. Also, now I can die a completed man having now seen Rodrigo Blankenship attempt to run past NFL-worthy defenders. What in the world.

Dilber posted:This is the first loss of the Richt era that has me waking up upset. That loss was all on him and I understand George fans better now. The defense played at a championship level and Richt's garbage decisions made it all wasted. So the thing about Richt calling plays – I assume Thomas Brown is only OC in name only – is that when he was doing that at UGA, those were his best teams. But it was almost always in spite of the offense, not because of it. Score a TD on a long, long drive, kick a couple field goals, get the margin to a precarious 13, and turn the game over to Pollack and Thurman and the boys. Defensive talent was so dynamite that the Dawgs still won a ton of games, but blew a few (Florida) crucial ones (Florida) because of ponderous offensive playcalling (Florida). Defense eventually went to poo poo because everyone graduated and Brian VanGorder begat Willie Martinez, and then all of a sudden you couldn't hide Richt's red zone meltdowns anymore. And eventually Richt had an emotional breakdown about handling OC/HC before the '06 Auburn game and gave the keys to Mike Bobo. Who was great when he had Stafford and Knowshon, then wasn't when he didn't, then gradually great again when he had Murray and Gurshall. This seemed like the right move at the time, and in a vacuum it was, but Richt didn't handle the CEO HC model well and a whole lotta stuff slipped around the program and Schottenheimer and S&T and recruiting and etc., etc., we've been through this all before. So you're left with a paradox. Richt being hands on as offensive coordinator keeps his head in the game and his passion high. But he....hasn't been a good offensive coordinator since 90s FSU. So what do you do?

LSU just got after us on every phase of the game. The game felt like they should have won by more than 20. Props to them for making it look like the rankings of each team were flipped the wrong way. If we play that way in 2 weeks, Florida is going to win by 14+. Yesterday reminded me a lot of Chaney's first year in Athens, just bad stubborn play calling. It's clear there was no "playing conservative for this 4 game stretch". The offense just isn't there.
