      Yes, we need change. If you’re happy with this offense I’d love whatever grade of crystal meth you’re smoking. This offense is a trainwreck that’s getting worse by the week. Swift yelling at Fromm was telling. Coley has shattered our QB’s confidence. From has had 3 of the worst games of his career in the last 2 months. He was never this bad even as a freshman. He’s simultaneously over and under-coached. That’s on Coley. Our receivers (who Coley recruited) and our passing trees are on Coley. We’re squandering an insanely elite oline, Swift, and Fromm with an OC that’s clearly in over his head. We’re 10-1 because of our defense, but they understandably wear down every fourth quarter because our offense can’t score touchdowns or sustain drives.

      You jump down the throat of anyone who rightfully criticizes our offense, but the players and Kirby himself are clearly frustrated. We played manball in 2017 and 2018 to much greater affect because we had an experienced OC who was clearly a better QB coach than Coley is. But according to you, everything is fine, this all part of Kirby’s master plan and anyone who questions it is a no-nothing fan who just doesn’t get it.

        My issue isn’t that the offense is functioning well. My issue is that it’s not ineffective for the reasons people around here suggest.

        They had two designs that got wide open receivers: the wheel to herrien. The flea flicker to George.

        Fromm missed them.

        Then they do three basic plays: two back shoulders and a 4 verts, go down and score.

        It’s not about play calls. It’s about execution. We just don’t have it from the qb and the receivers right now.

        I’m as frustrated as anyone. I’m just frustrated at reality.

          Players are always going to make mistakes. They’re human and it’s football. But for a team this talented to be making this many mistakes at such frustrating consistency points to coaching. Coley is destroying the psyche of this offense and our QB. Kirby needs to take a page out of his mentor’s playbook and retool his staff in the offseason. Doesn’t mean we have to abandon who we are but goddamn we need an OC who understands it’s not 2009 anymore. We can manball and be creative and score touchdowns all at the same time.

              I don’t deny that. But Chaney was able to execute Kirby’s philosophy AND score points. I know we lost a talented receiver corps but we still have a blue chip roster. The schemes and situational playcalling this year has been schizophrenic and Fromm’s NFL stock is tanking because he doesn’t have a QB coach.

      While he was very, very off for a large part of today (especially the first half) the play calling isn’t helping things. I’d wager no other starting QB has a higher percentage of total pass attempts on obvious passing downs (which goes back to the maddening rarity of play-action passes.)

      I don’t know if it was furious, but it’s worth noting that of 11 total possessions, five of which were scoring drives, they amounted to 19 points. Nineteen measly points. So, furious or not, a 10 point comeback was significant regardless.
      And I’d like to say this also. Of those 5 scoring possessions which totaled 19 points, that A&M defense was not elite. Barely serviceable. But it held us to 4 field goals. Jeez, maybe our offense just had a bad day….

    Coley actually called a fairly solid game – aside from continuing to run on 2nd and long anyway. Fromm, however, has regressed horribly and clearly has lost all confidence. He’s been off all year and I’m afraid there are no miracle cures in time for the SECC and beyond.

    If not for the bad throws and reads by Fromm, this game is over at halftime and we win something like 30-13.

      Agreed. Our defense is elite and fun to watch (until Kirby waves the DBs back off the receivers). Out offense is putrid, and Jake has seemed off since SC loss at least. Left 14 easy points on the field in the 1st quarter that would have changed the game. To me, play calling has been decent but we don’t make the plays. Maybe if we had some talent.

    The defense is elite with lots of talent all over the place. Rodrigo is the best UGA kicker ever, and has won many games for UGA including this one. I appreciate the guys that won’t suit up for UGA in Sanford again like JR Reed, Rodrigo, Clark, Andrew Thomas, Swift, et al. It’s hard to believe that their time in red and black is almost done.

    They’ll bludgeon GT next Saturday. They’ll compete against LSU, but it will be an early missed field goal that portends the ultimate end (as is tradition). They’ll go to an NY6, and the draftable players won’t play and maybe UGA wins, maybe they won’t. This is all inevitable, and there is no reason to resist.

    Kirby needs to find a QB whisperer in the off-season to fix Fromm and this offense. It is disjointed and ugly and ineffective, and there is no excuse for it. Find a grad transfer like real quick to come in and give Fromm some competition, because with competition, he was fine, but he has had four of his worst QB performances of his career in the past six games. It is obvious that nobody in Butts-Mehre knows how to fix him. Find somebody to fix him or find somebody to replace him.

    So, this season is on Kirby, no matter the outcome. And I hope upon hope that it ends in New Orleans. But the outcome was determined long before January 2020 when Kirby hired Lanning as defensive coordinator and Coley as his offensive coordinator. Everyone would say the defensive brain trust is just fine. What to think of other side of the ball? Kirby is little help in devising play calls, pre game or in game. Coley needs a staff of consultants, specialists or gurus. Something more than his has now. We have the funds to hire whomever we want. Who do we want?

    Back when J. Eason was quarterback, the offense had some success but looked somewhat disjointed. When Jake took over, the offense took on a smooth, cohesive look. Oddly it has now regressed under Fromm. If he has lost confidence, why not give the other kid a few series. He can sling it and he would defintely put the “option” back in RPO.

    Again, today, the pitch was the ticket. Dooley would run it 4-5-6 times in a row. It’s manball 101. Get your backs quickly out in space to employ their 4-5 star skills while running the defense until their tongues hang out. Smart says, “it has to be used sparingly to be effective” while not applying that same logic to runs up the middle.

    Our new defensive coach is making a mark by figuring out how to effectively employ the talent. That’s why we’re in the hunt.

    Jake is fragile behind the aura that he has gained. Swift has been in the same practices as Jake. Giving to ability to change plays at the LOS with 2-3 options to run Swift just disagreed rather harshly to what Jake picked. It’s time Kirby/Coley determined that the inside zone for one or two basic reasons. The inside zone is primarily determined by the OL in move laterally and cut off penetration or the backside catches up before the play develops. ( UF’s goaline stand comes to mind, was that 5 or 6 plays with a FG ) Different OC different year.
    Jake was not under pressure on many of the misses. Two crossing patterns are plainly in the rear view mirror. Several times Jake had a 5-6 count before determining his throw.
    What’s the answer. The receivers are not as good as Bama or LSU but their not trash either.
    Two things that can open up the passing game is simple stops, outs or seams by the TE’s. If Kirby thinks he is gonna gonna get a a Top 3 TE recruiting……. he’s deranged. The one’s we have are adequate but nothing special. Their H-backs and used to seal or kick out…….. Kirbs would do well to recruit a FB with TE tendencies rather than the other way round. The hobnail boot comes to mind. Jet sweeps and reverses are ineffective due to penetration. UGA is running a pro style offense to recruit kids wanting to go to the next level.
    How exactly did that work out for Nauta and Hollifield ? A tendency of a great coach is changing year to year with the players you have. Not running NFL crap to lure recruits in and waste away.
    Hats off to Jake, Swift and Herrien. Zeus was in on one KO return ( no return ) one rushing play where either Zeus limed on the wrong side or Jake opened up to the wrong side. Cook was a no show and McIntosh is on special teams. ( see transfer portal after the Orange Bowl )
    I love them Dawg’s but there is either dissension like after the loss and not making the Final Four and Face Planting in the Sugar Bowl. You can be optimistic if you wish but 5 FG’s and a TD won’t do IT in the SECCG.
    Right now how many top four teams has a FG kicker as their MVP ?
    Call me disconcerted, call me a old get off my lawn dude. Did you watch TECH…… I know, I know the ACC isn’t worth a crap but we have a tendency to play down to the competition. The defense is very good, LeCounte’s fumble recovery was the difference in the game. Yes we have a HAVOC rate; It’s the second half, they are HAVOC to watch.

      I agree with this 100% but I’m just not sure which side I’m going with. Oddly enough, I feel kinda good about the SECC game. This season, more than any I remember, I haven’t felt uneasy about ANY game. Sure, I wring my hands over the offense but I think it’s the defense and special teams that make me feel like we’ll have a shot against anyone.

      Of course, I may be kidding myself when it comes to LSU or the cfp but I’m not worried. Maybe I’ve finally reached a point where I accept things as they are, too. Like a coping mechanism. Lol!

      I look back on the SC game and how bad that was and how it took 4 turnovers to 0 and a missed FG. No, SC isn’t good but we did all that and still had a shot. I almost feel like we’ll have a chance as long as the offense doesn’t do that. So you can’t get a TD or even string together a couple first downs when it’s really needed. Ok. How about just don’t turn it over or take bad sacks or have your QB get a delay of game after a timeout. At the minimum don’t have negative plays!

    You have to wonder if they can keep dodging close calls and overcoming a marginal offense.

    The one thing they haven’t really done is defeat an elite level offense. We are gonna have to do it 3 times to get to the prize.

    We won 3 when we didn’t look particularly good.

    A message from every offensive coordinator at UGA ever:

    Can
    U
    Not
    Terminate the
    Shitting

    on our football team?

    But
    Instead
    Try
    Choosing
    Hope

    over the complaining?

    Sorry
    To
    Underscore the
    Probable
    Idiot
    Dickhead

    you are but you’re killing the enjoyment of winning 3 straight division titles, a feat that has only been achieved by stallings, spurrier, saban and now smart.

    Beat yech!!

    Pickens slowed down on the long shot or it’s a td. Jake had to put heat on it because the safety was coming over. That ball was a perfect throw . Jake missed the wheel route to Herrien. Some drops also. Dawgs are playing with 99% of all catches from last year gone. Win and advance . Tuck Fech. Dawgs just won a tough slate since the bye week. We are very close on O. Pull for your team. After reading some of these comments , I don’t think that many on this board even played high school ball .
