Hey, we live in interesting times.

We’re Georgia fans.  We bitch.  We moan.  It’s kind of our perverse birthright.  Even though the Dawgs are 4-1, currently sit atop the SEC East and are ranked seventh nationally, that hasn’t slowed the grumbling down much.

One thing has changed, though, at least since last season’s South Carolina debacle.  We haven’t complained about this team not showing up.  And before you brush that off, consider that since that game, they’ve faced a #2, a #2, a #16, a #8, a #6 and a #6.  Nor did Georgia buckle in Knoxville last week, a place where that’s happened more times than we’ve liked.

It hasn’t always been pretty, true.  But they’ve been there in every game since. Some of it’s Murray, some Gurley.  But lately, some of it’s the result of line play on both sides of the ball that’s been solid, if not spectacular.  If Georgia gets that today and avoids playing the role of generous host, I think that will be enough to overcome the injury concerns and what’s likely to be another… um, interesting day from the secondary.

I’m about to head out, so consider this your game day thread.

    I hate it for several damn good Dawgs but the injury bug has made it, almost, impossible for us to achieve this team’s goal for an SEC Championship.

    But if we can get two James Franklin scalps on our belts the next 7 days, we might be able to heal enough to take FU down and get an entry into the SECCG. Worried greatly that our D can keep this wounded offense close enough to pull out another 4th Qtr win. But this defense just might grow up today and do just that. It is a tall order against an offense that is an uphill matchup for our struggling, young lads. Hope they are man enough, frankly they owe the team, staff, and fans a strong performance. If we get it, we have a shot, if not, we will never know what might have been.

    For me as a fan, hope springs eternal so I am thinking the football gods might smile on this embattled team. Go Dawgs!!

    The optimist in me says that this is the first Saturday that the defense finally clicks, and we start to look like an all-around championship-calibur team.

    The pessimist in me says that this is James Franklin’s first game in the national spotlight this season, and we’re just the team to let him have a “breaking out” game.

    I’ll take a win any way we can get it. (And then losses for the Gators and Gamecocks.)

      Well SC didn’t lose and Florida is playing pretty good. I’ve come to accept it–we’re not a championship team and our defense is suspect that it even belongs in the SEC.

It’s obvious to me that Grantham ain’t the guy and he’s had plenty of players and time to get his “system” integrated. Looks like our O line took most of the first half off. This game is playing out like the perfect storm. One little/big thing after another. Even the officials wanted to go ahead and get the first half over. I know that CMR is pissed … and I’m sure that Grantham is red-faced yelling in the locker room. I pray that Murray can will these youngsters to pull it out in the second half.

Never doubt the power of a good PR campaign, he had a lot of people fooled with KTMD and so forth. The real indictment came against him last year everyone was just too caught up in how close we came to the MNC.

What in the hell is Todd Grantham doing to earn his enormous salary? We are DEAD FUCKING LAST in the conference for points per game. DEAD LAST! WORSE THAN KENTUCKY!!!

    Think about it – how is that remotely possible?

    Todd – what in the hell are you and your staff doing to motivate, teach, and improve these young men’s defensive skillsets?

    When we look back one day at Mark Richt’s tenure as our head coach, we will always remember the absolute enormous amount of talent that was wasted b/c we couldn’t field a competent D on a regular basis. Guys like Stafford and Murray come around once every generation and neither, NEITHER ONE, despite all those touchdowns and all those receptions, can say they won an SEC title. You know why?

    Because Mark Richt failed to stress the importance of a dominating defense and thus cost Georgia and himself many a title. Aside from him being a fine Christian man, which is absolutely important, his legacy will be the inability to field defenses that could rival his offenses.

        Auburn guy (or said differently, fan of the team we have absolutely owned for a decade or so), thanks for making my point. Semantics are one thing, but yes, we’ve had two of the best QB’s we’ve ever had during the past 7 years. And neither won an SEC due to weak defensive play.

        Georgia’s achilles heal may be defense, but it ain’t Auburn.

          Georgia guy (or so said differently, fan of selective statistics)….

          Both of those QBs were in games to win it. Both of them threw INTs at inoppotune moments regularly. I once wondered if maybe stafford was color blind.

          AU’s most recent SEC championship happened to be won by their worst defense *ever*.

    • DING! Spot on.

      100% correct.

      Mark Richt does not run a meritocracy in the coaching and office ranks.

      He consistently hires bad coordinators and coaches and refuses to fire them.

      Our S&C program is led by a videographer.

      Total joke. 😦

    • In fairness to Grantham, it is important to point out that special teams and turnovers are costing them a full TD per game. That puts them 8th, which is still nothing to brag about. The defense is broken. There is no denying that. If they don’t improve over the next six, a change should be made.

      Hahahaha at your moniker, everybody and their brother jumped on my #@$ in the comments of a pre-season post on here when I said it was a bad sign that Grantham was placing all his hopes on getting turnovers, and I said the last guy to talk like that at DC was Ramsey. I take no pleasure in being right on that point though.

    Think about the D again. Rodney Gardner was D line coach.& recruiting coordinator. He is at Auburn, but look at how many D players left early left last year. This is a very young D and secondary. Do you know how many DBs Rodney recruited in 2011 ONE. Now you know why he is gone like those 3 at UT. GEt off the damn scoreboard, look at the roster, oterh teams, and think. Back to the cootn fields today.

    • Do you know whose ultimate responsibility the D is? The defensive coordinator.

      This is no different than Bobo being responsible for the offense – including the offensive line.

      The OC and DC, then ultimately the Head Coach, bear the full responsibility of their units.

      That includes recruiting.

      Having a bunch of inexperienced guys is a failure of coaching.

    It boils down to that O fucked up the D. Plain and simple. All the turnovers on O. Give me a fucking break. It was the O turnovers NOT the D that lost this game. And all y’all who think different can kiss my ass everyday of the week and twice on gameday

    • My god. Sure, it sucks that the O gave up 4 turnovers. If we’d lost 28-14 maybe then yeah, blame that.

      But our defense came up with ZERO turnovers, yet again couldn’t get stops when desperately needed, and gave up **** 41 **** points for christ sakes.

      The reason we never right the ship at Georgia is because there is no accountability from the program and the fanbase.

          One of the stupidest arguments against caring about something is “its just _____.”

          The billion dollar industry of college athletics hinges on people actually giving a crap.

          I’m going to have a stroke myself over UGA76’s bizarre belief that offense is a problem for us, turnovers or no, when the other team scores 34 points and the defense can’t even stop a deer-in-the-headlights redshirt freshman QB. Or a halfback heave for a TD that was one of the worst plays, from TWO defenders (Wiggins and Moore), that I have EVER seen a UGA defense make.

        Point of order- the D gave up 34. O gave up 7. Please stop screaming at each other, because it’s not an absolute matter of the D or O causing the loss. The O doesn’t give up a scoop & score and fumble inside their 10 & we win. Likewise even with that if the secondary isn’t clueless and makes some played we still win. You’re both right in a way, so can we just agree that both phases were poor today and contributed to the loss? It’s silly to have to pin all the blame on 1 side or the other, both sides were subpar and we lost.

            Longer, Muckie. The D was shit for every year of the Ray Goof era except for 2 and every year of the Donnan era except for 2. Counting the 13 years of the Richt era, that’s 15 out of the last 25 years UGA has played bad D. A lot of that time we had pretty good offenses, too. We just couldn’t outscore other teams (like FU and UT) that had good offenses but played defense, too.
