Aside from words of concern about Nick Chubb, the only thing Mark Richt should say is the loss was inexcusable, the fault for that is mine and it’s on me to figure a way out of where this team finds itself now.
It’s not that it fixes anything, but any statement beyond that is nothing but unconvincing bullshit.

He doesn’t have the guts. Poor tackling. The worst I’ve seen in a while. Lousy special teams. No offense to speak off. No killer instinct, of course. Lambert couldn’t carry Murray’s jock.

Same here. Been a CMR supporter. Now, I still don’t hate the man. As a coach, he has not instilled mental toughness. On the other hand, our D makes average teams look like gang busters. Yes, they are young, but the performance we get is pitiful. Our special teams will make you cry. The head coach has to take the blame. Period.

Exactly what he said. “We just need to execute better.” “We don’t have an effort problem.” Richt and I must not have been watching the same game. The coach needs to acknowledge there is a bigger problem than “executing better.” We didn’t execute in any phase of the game–offense, defense, or special teams. We had three 12-on-the-field penalties. We couldn’t block OR tackle, we missed a field goal, shanked a punt, fumbled a kickoff. We couldn’t pass. We dropped the one that would have bailed us out. And we left the perimeter wide open all night. Other than those, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

Again, we just have no players. The difference in just the way our team looked compared to bama was drastic. Now we do have as much talent as Tennessee but not more talent and when you combine that with the worst special teams in football for what seems like the 20th season in a row, you lose. What I just can’t figure out is how did our roster get so bad? We have Malcolm and Sony and Jenkins and that’s really it. How did that happen?

The roster’s fine. Not perfect, but fine. That same super awesome Alabama team that ran Georgia out of the stadium is losing at home to Arkansas right now. I think they’ll ultimately pull that out, but don’t try to tell me Georgia doesn’t have the talent to compete with them.

I actually agree with you on that BR. Our players are just as good if not better than our competition. There is a coaching failure here. Steve Spurrier said it best when he was the HC at FU and the Gators were beating our asses every year when we had higher rated recruiting classes: “College football players will play up to the level that they are coached.” I thought Grantham worked wonders with our DBs last season. This season the DBs in particular have regressed. They don’t tackle worth shit and there are receivers running around wide open in the defensive backfield constantly.

The lack of a pass rush is also strange. Jenkins and Carter should be able to occasionally destroy the pocket against someone decent. Floyd isn’t really an edge rusher. He can beat people around he edge with speed sometimes, but he’s not going to overpower anyone.

Players take on the personality of the coach. That goes for not just football but other sports as well. CMR is simply too placid of a coach with no real, authentic edge to speak of. This is why our team looks so unemotional much of the time with no sense of urgency.
After Chubb’s horrible injury yet being handed a 24-3 lead on a silver platter, a well coach team would have played with emotion, went on to drub UT 45-13, and tearfully dedicate the win to Chubb afterwards. Instead, UT scores 28 straight and our team casually walks off the field at the end of the game like they were wrapping up a typical practice.

You know, football is a strange game. All sports are strange but football is the strangest. I used to think there was no such thing as momentum in sports but now I know there is. Georgia was one play away from winning this game in a rout, IMHO. Near the end of the first half, with the score 24-3, UT faced a fourth down and 4 at about their own 40 yard line. They threw a pass and their receiver slipped and fell but the ball landed on his chest while he was on the ground–and he caught it! First down! UT went on to score a TD on that drive then get the fumble on the ensuing kick-off and score again. As God is my witness I’m saying if that prone receiver didn’t catch that pass, and Georgia scored on the subsequent possession, the Dawgs would gone on to win the game by 3-4 TDs. The Vols would have been so dispirited that their will would have been broken. Plus they couldn’t have come back from such a deficit in only one half of football, the second half. That completion opened the door to what happened.

Shit man. I think I’m signing off for this season. Seeing that injury to Chubb made me wanna cry. I know there seems to be some optimism that this won’t require surgery but it doesn’t take a doctor (which I am) to see that that sure as hell looked like a season or career ending injury. I hope to god I’m wrong. But if God has anything to do with college football, then by our track record at UT with our marquee backs, we are metaphysically fucked. I just can’t take it anymore.

Here’s the thing that frustrates me; the Richt supporters will vociferously bellyache just like the rest of us until Wednesday or so, then gradually revert back to their typical ways in which they want their safety blanket (CMR) to hold onto. And we just can’t even fathom the notion of anyone other than our beloved St. Richt coaching the team…its too scary out there with so many unknowns with a potential new coach, who might either lead us to 13-0 or 0-13.
Its been like a broken record for a good number of years now, and I just don’t see it changing unless we finish the year 4-8…or CMR gets caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl.

And amen to Chadwick’s comment about that dumbass geek Chuck Dowdle. Actually you can put the whole broadcast crew in that expression.
Most thought the Dawgs would have a hard go with the coaching changes on offense, and the All American benchwarmer from UVA.
Sorry, there are two people I have trouble listening to when the talk. One is the POTUS and the other is the UGAHC … words of nothing.
The defense is young but when you get rung up for 520 yards, 90 plays, and 38 points …young or not, or if you coached at FSU and Bama…there is something wrong. One thing they can not tackle in space, can not get a push up the middle.
Would like to hear what the OC has to say about all of those 3 and out. How many do they have this years. Have to lead the conference in those.
Goes back to the game prior to Bama when Chubb told his Oline to get their act to together. Guess that bunch wont hear that for awhile.
Just what is our offense anymore…power I or what. 60 plays.
Give CMR credit he makes every losing coach a winner…Muschamp, Johnson, Butch Jones, yep an important game is one the line there is one thing CMR has down. He will waste it.

Well, I had a moment of clarity today. The first thing I realized was how perfect Georgia autumns were.

And then I decided to put it aside and find more productive ways to spend these beautiful fall Saturdays. And I feel free. As a father of 2 young children who works long hours, putting this whole thing aside frees up a lot of precious time. I actually feel pretty ridiculous for wasting so many Saturdays for all these years. Good luck to the team, the Senator, and the fans. I’m out.

“Losing Chubb hurt but that is not why we lost.” I’m not prepared to say that. Sure the tackling sucked, the DB play was bad and the defense couldn’t get off the field, plus the ST play wasn’t very good either. But if the O had been able to stay on the field, particularly in the second half, and limit the number of possessions by UT we very well could have won the game anyway. UT ran almost twice as many plays as the Dawgs did. The O’s problem was that it couldn’t sustain drives. Michel is a good back but he is nowhere near the runner Chubb is between the tackles. So they ran Michel wide over and over when it became apparent that running him up the gut wasn’t working–and running him wide didn’t work either. Chubb going down limited what the Dawgs could do offensively and, I think, played a large part in Georgia losing the game.
