Our defense hasn’t given up a touchdown in the 2024 season.
Tell me that Brock and Jamon didn’t spill the beans on Georgia’s scheme. There’s no way that this Kentucky team is that psychic to be in our backfield the way they were.
Get healthy. Get a new crayon box(?). Get out of Lexington with a win.
Go Dawgs.
Missouri game in 2022.
I literally texted the same thing to my mom, a die hard 76 year old dawg fan, and said “hold on”. If this was the old Georgia Way, we’re all drowning our sorrows right now.
I thought the exact same thing during the game. There will always be a dud, hopefully this one was ours. At least we have a couple of weeks to get our crap together. Bryant Denny is gonna be a bitch
Yep. It reminded me of ‘22 Missouri in so many ways. Y’all I know it was ugly but it was always gonna be ugly. That was a highly motivated team at home that wanted that game bad. A lot of stuff went wrong for us and we found a way. That’s a big deal. And the officials were absolutely the drizzling shits. They were horrible. And we overcame that too.
Yep, the last time we played a game like this we won a national championship.
We all keep referencing the ‘22 Missouri game but we had to Rick fight our way to a win at Kentucky that year that looked a lot like last night. Final score 16-6. Did that team suck? Were there too many “concerns”? Was Todd Monken a dumbass? Georgia fans are pretty horrible to a great extent.
Survive and advance. Sometimes that’s all you can do.
A win is a win, but damn that was a slog. Hard to believe our offense had that much trouble with them. But give Kentucky credit, they damn sho came to play. I bet Vandagriff is sore as a MF tomorrow, he took a lot of shots.
I stayed away for a while because my blood pressure and resting pulse was already high but I’m glad we won. For reasons I do not understand teams like Kentucky, and Missouri seem to always give us a harder time than I would expect. Mike Cooley is the only poster that had accurate calm information throughout the night. Maybe we’ll get healed and ready for the next hurdle. And like Kirby said, it’s comforting to see the team overcome adversity especially on the road in the SEC.
I knew we were banged up on D but I didn’t expect our O-line to get pushed around. Also, WTF on rushing the passer?
Perfect time for a game like this.
Tackling was poor. Pass coverage was Martinez-esque. Blocking was horrible. And we still won.
Kirby probably has a giant woody thinking about all the things he can chew ass about for the next 2 weeks.
For this team to go they have to get Dillon Bell more involved. Been a non factor all year.
Maybe I’m crazy but I thought we got to BVG a lot. Sometimes he got out of it but there were plenty of times he either didn’t or was affected by the rush. They were bringing a lot of rushers. Ratledge going out affected the run blocking a lot too. People are mad at the defense and I can’t understand why. Kentucky didn’t score a touchdown. The offense wasn’t doing anything at all for a long time which meant the defense was on the field a whole lot for a lot of the game, just compare time of possession for most of the game, that’s going to affect how the defense plays. And they still didn’t allow a touchdown. I guess yelling about how bad we sucked is easier though.
Kentucky at night is always a slog. Got the W…time to move on.
I’m not a coach or any other type of football savant, but it seems to me that teams, not just KY, are catching on to what I see as slip/flanker screens, aka our bread and butter. They stoned those plays all night until late in the game when Bobo finally opened up the offense a bit. WTF was he all night?
Georgia will never win a national championship with Mike Bobo as our OC. He is not elite. I’d love to be proven wrong.
Why is it always Bobo and never execution? I got frustrated with him last night, but the lines of scrimmage played awful.
I was wondering when Corch would find his way over here.
I liked Corch (not the real one). He obsessed over Bobo, but plenty of Georgia fans do that.
I liked him during the week, but his unhinged rants during games made me quit reading game day posts until the next day, when I would just review the carnage
I’ll have a little more to say with my message board geniuses post, but that was the kind of game this team seems to play before a bye week especially on the road. Go through the motions. Get a win. Move on. We play like that 2 weeks from now and/or the game before our next bye week, and we’ll get blown out of T-town and Austin.
Our offensive line played poorly last night, and that included while Ratledge was in the game.
I wish Mike Bobo had blocked better last night. I wish Mike Bobo had executed and gotten first downs so the defense wasn’t on the field so much. Mike Bobo really screwed up when he dropped that shotgun snap. And dang Mike Bobo for telling Mike Bobo we were going to keep things as conservative as possible.
Mike Bobo is NOT an elite back up LG.
No he ain’t. And his officiating skills leave a lot to be desired too.
Forget about Chambliss’s problems holding the edge. Kentuck didn’t even bother blocking him and sometimes used him as a pick man to prevent our LBs from getting outside. The fact our D still hasn’t given up a TD with this guy on the field only highlights how good the other 10 players are.
I can’t say I’m surprised by any of what I saw. I’ve fretted all off season that we’re going to miss Brock and Ladd and I saw how constipated the offense got when those two were limited. We just don’t have elite down the field playmakers. What we do have is a great defense and a great punter, and a qb you can trust when you have to have it. We are 3-0, given up 0 TD’s, 0 PR yards and O TO’s. For Kirby that’s “smells like napalm in the morning.”
We’re not going chuck and duck in an effort to calm the fan base’s anxieties over scoring margins. We’re going to play bully ball as long as we’re leading in games or staying within a TD with a shot in the 4th quarter.
After all, nothing matters until the playoffs anyway right?
We recruit the elite downfield playmakers, but Kirby has made it clear we aren’t going to spend the NIL money to get them … see Wiley, CJ and Smith, Travis for this year’s examples.
We also recruit the kids that throw it accurately and run around extend plays and drives with their feet and make DC’s lose sleep and go bald. Sadly, I just never get to see them play for us. And we just missed on another one out of Carrollton in this cycle.
Its not a complaint btw, just an observation. Those guys are rare, like elite DL are, and I would like to see some of these uncover-able deer prancing through and past opposing defensive backfields with a G on their helmet. I covet them…, doesn’t mean they’re necessary to win championships.
We saw a glimpse of the possibility of Young being a Wims-type of threat using his size to catch those back shoulders on a consistent basis. Anything we can do that keeps a defense honest and keeps the chains moving and Thorson on the sideline complaining on X.
While we need to figure out some ways to keep the safeties from coming downhill on the run game, I don’t know that the folks in the coach’s offices are fretting about turning games into ugly grind-fests and wearing out the Hammer of Thos(son).
We don’t have to be an explosive team that posts 40+ against anyone this season. We may need to be a team that no one can post 20 on tho. We’ll see, but we look damn hard to score tds either via grinding long drives or through big plays.
So I think our personnel is very suited to wars of attrition and not of blitzkrieg. Stalin may not have had all the flashy stats, but he got the W.
Fuck style points. Just win baby.
Once again, we decided we weren’t going to spend the NIL money it’s going to take to convince Lewis and his family to come to Georgia. That’s going to guys like Justus Terry, Elijah Griffin and Isaiah Gibson.
Some say Elyiss Williams may be that pass catcher who has the frame of the Big O (without being 280 pounds) and the athletic ability of Bowers.
Kirby is a far better GM than I am. If 5 star WRs and guys like JuJu want more than they’re worth and paying them would risk the structure of the unit, fine with me. Obviously, I am not in those discussions so I don’t know anything about it. I’m just like any fan would be: buy me 4 Travon’s, 5 Jalens, 3 Jameson’s, and 2 Tua’s! Logically, I understand they all can’t be had and you have to make choices.
I suppose, grudgingly we have to accept that Kirby may know something about these matters.
So here’s the real question: can you have won the last 42 regular season games and still not know how to hire, fire, replace and analyze the performance of your own OC?
That people allow themselves to find that question somewhere in the crevices of their large intestine is a form of cranialrectosis that I simply cannot abide.
I’m not an X’s and O’s savant or anything close to it. Nor can I argue with the results we’ve gotten after Monken left. I will admit that I don’t understand Bobo’s tendency to keep throwing wide shallow passes over and over again to little effect. When we do finally decide to start throwing downfield men are generally open and yardage is made. Yet this rarely seems to happen in the first quarter and usually doesn’t happen with any sort of of regularity until the third quarter and beyond. Why wait? I understand the concept of setting things up for later. But is it really necessary to wait as long as we do to start pushing the ball downfield? Monken did seem to diagnose what the defense was giving him and exploit that quicker than CMB does. I think Todd wanted to open up a lead, force you to do things you don’t want to, then let the defense smother you. Whereas, CMB wants to keep the game under control and wear you down slowly. Death by a thousand small cuts so to speak. Last night I posted during the half that I felt Georgia would grind Kentucky down in the final two frames. I didn’t think it would be that close but it does seem to fit the profile of how Bobo prefers to manage a game.
Scores in Lexington with Monken: 14-3 and 16-6. We also had the 3 pts of offense vs. Clemson in an opener. I think they’re just trying to be conservative with the ball and make the other team’s dl run a lot early.
