I really am curious to see where Hurts ends up. No way he sees another snap at Bama again. He's a good kid but he is not a good passer at all.

Emron posted:UGA fans blaming refs is kind of a trend. There were some egregiously bad calls in that game, but it’s not really the refs fault that outside of one broken play, UGA basically stopped moving the ball entirely in the second half. UGA lost the game when, desperately needing a first down or two from midway through the 3rd quarter on, they kept battering Chubb into Bama's defensive front over and over and over and getting nothing. It was like watching '16 UGA again. Granted, that team was doing that against Vandy and Nicholls and this one was doing it in the national championship game, but: ugh. That said, the refs botched the offsides call on the punt block and missed a pretty terrible facemask. Those are things that happened. UGA was up 13 at that point and if they put more points on the board, who knows. Concerning the trend, in the Auburn SECCG, that pick play call was the worst call I saw all season long. A UGA WR was pushed by an Auburn DB into another Auburn DB and they called a pick, for gently caress's sake. And then they one-upped it by calling the Dawgs for chop blocking when a RB...fell over and...didn't even touch anyone. Brilliance! But on the whole the Georgia refereeing experience is worlds better than it was when Penn Wagers was stalking the field, or when the SEC was still giving Marcy Marc Curles primetime games. TL;DR: UGA fans are frustrated, with some justification, but not enough for the game outcome to be in doubt.

He had a great halftime show and brought some small measure of suffering to hateful, spiteful people.

So I'm asking this in all sincerity. Would the Bama fans here agree that other teams turn into loving idiots almost every time Bama is on the ropes? I'm not saying Saban isn't a great coach and I'm not being salty about it, I'm genuinely flummoxed at this point. The way UGA had that game by the balls so many times and hosed up every time broke my brain. I'm beyond salt at this point. It's not there. I'm just shrugging.

The "everyone done fucks up when they play the Tide" theory doesn't quite work when you consider that 1) Bama is really good, of course; and 2) Bama missed a super-easy FG that would've won the game in regulation

I think it’s a combination of the stakes that generally come with Bama games, combined with Bama’s almost unholy ability to capitalize on mistakes, that there’s virtually no margin for error and any small mistakes get really magnified because they all end up being consequential.

No. Getting out coached or outplayed in key series isn't the opposing team turning stupid it's just the difference between making plays or not. Coach Saban is one of the greatest because he puts his guys in situations that they can be successful, be it good play calling or incredible adjustments. The little things, which were pointed out on the film room stream, add up through the course of a game. Georgia did not set themselves up for success in the second half. Play calling went super conservative even though the bama secondary was gassed. Bama is deep enough that this slowdown by Georgia allowed the defense to rotate out some dudes and rest up for the end of the game. That's just good coaching.

Played not to lose instead of to win in the second half. Not sure why the gently caress we stopped passing and kept running up the gut. Between the falcons and this game I may need a break from football. I loving hate sports.

Like Fluffdaddy I'm agreeing with most of what you said except you yourself said UGA didn't set themselves up for success. This is factually accurate. But HOW do you gently caress that up so many times in so many situations in a game you mostly dominated? I'm not saying Bama had nothing to do with its own success. I'm just saying Georgia did too and it baffles me ESPECIALLY since Smart is a Saban protege.

Right, we did run Chubb into the line too much but my other solution is "have Jake gun it more" or "hope Sony/Swift can outrun Bama to the edge," it's all up in the air, really. Crotch Bat posted:Two. Two super easy FGs. Did I mention that kicker should like give Tua his car or something because if Bama lost his dog was probably going to wind up dead tomorrow? One small consolation for the Dawgs is that Rodrigo Blankenship solidified himself as a drat beast.
