"I am unhappy with the result" Post Game Thread

Yep for Philo to thrive we need better pass protection, I think we get there

I think we also need a power back.

Im really surprised we haven't been seeing jet sweeps this year with Haynes or that new wr that's a burner. Maybe that's more of a focus next year without having King to run.

Yeah I think we have relied too much on King's legs. I miss our Tashard or Dwyer power back days. Bruiser will make a world of difference. Maybe we can convince TC back -and get another Gibbs (he's my best player on my fantasy team lol wild he played for GT under the )

OL was inconsistent all year but boy has it been exposed now

Jamal played tough again, maybe he was hurt the first half of the year

Canion continues to improve. Impressive game again.

Our conference officiating situation is out of control, and Key doesn’t help himself in this area enough. Hope he improves there going forward, and hope Cabrera does anything possible to get us out of the ACC

Defense, by far its best game of the season - schemes, effort, physicality.

Special Teams nightmare once again (except Birr, what a rockstar). I’m sick of it.

Thanks for the memories Haynes. Tough finish to the year. Nothing but love my guy.

Excited to see what Philo has.

#3 for UGA is the fastest sideline-to-sideline LB in college I’ve seen since Roquan Smith.

I’m having a slow morning, slept in very late for me. Some of my thoughts upon waking up …
~ we held them to 16 points, 260 yards, and lost.
~ we kicked three field goals.
~ we needed a TD after the INT.
~ Key shouldn’t have challenged the 4th down call, it was not going to be overturned, we needed that TO on the final drive.
~ what happened to our offense and why didn’t we throw more to TE’s, was there all game.
~ guess I’ll never see footage of the Rutledge PF, missed the replay in MBS. Sounds like it was much of nothing and shouldn’t have been called, however if you stay focused and simply walk back to the huddle, it’s 3rd and 2 on their 31.
~ I hate MBS.
~ I hate losing to UGA, THWG.

I meant the throw. Iirc haynes had his back turned and never had a chance on it, but I skimmed the rules this morning and it looks like those aren't requirements. The announcers were going on about how we got away with a no call there, so my bad for assuming they knew the rules.

However, the amount of focus on the refs after the game seems to be because people think they cost us the game. It looks like there's more focus on refs than our OL underperforming.

Refs aren't perfect and if you need them to be every time to win you're gonna be in trouble. Maybe the PI Rutledge was really bad but without a replay it's hard to say. I'm surprised nobody complained about the push on the UGA int not getting called. The refs seemed to let a lot go, but also we had some bad face mask penalties in there - I think 2 on key plays.

On that note, it seemed like every close first down never had a replay on TV. The tv crew spent more time on coach faces and fans than reviewing key plays - for all of the hype of the acc review crew getting broadcast we were completely let down here.

I thought the INT was a push as well. Receiver should’ve fallen down.

I feel like we valued seniority too much. When we had players go down on defense with injury we seemed to get better, not worse.

 

[YellowJacket4Life]

Our issue yesterday was we finally played a defense that was stout enough to control the LOS in their front 7. We got very little push and they were in the backfield far more often than not.

Our offense was pretty much all Haynes King this year and after 2 games of him gashing the mutts defense, they finally had the front 7 to handle him.

We do not have a WR that stretches defenses deep and keeps the 2ndary honest. Nor a very good possession receiver for the underneath stuff to occupy LBs and get them in space and conflict.

This years match up with the mutts was not a good one for us. The defense decided to play well, but yeah.

Funny. When we lost a couple of defenders, I told my buddy how much worse can the backup really be?

IMO, this was the biggest mystery of the season regarding the CBF play calling mindset. At times throughout the season, we saw 4 different TEs make big plays/ catches in a game only to see the TE calls disappear into the abyss so to speak. Against the dwags, Seither had 2 catches for 49 yds with a long of 30 yds. It's easy to 2nd guess as a fan, but why not run the well dry if it continues to produce so to speak. We over played the jet sweep well, as well as the constant HK keeper well which about got him killed.

 

[JJacket]

What safety? Haynes clearly got out on play 1 and the RB is an eligibile receiver? You an ACC official?

I don’t think anyone who roots for GT claims the refs lost the game, I think all of us are simply frustrated that once again in this game we are on the receiving end of extremely unfavorable game altering calls. It happens every single year.

Yea, douchebag announcer lobbying for a grounding when Jamaal is within 5 yards of the pass and had fallen down

That's what I find perplexing. We've seen some innovative things, like he can come up with some effective and sometimes downright brilliant plays but then appears not to understand how and when to utilize them, especially from one game to the next. Maybe he is handcuffed to the game plan and isn't all that great when things aren't working as planned.

I don't get the sense that he is an in game adjustment savant adjusting play to play. Sometimes it just seems like he gets lucky when things work, other times you see some dumb things like running King 3 straight times up the middle when the opponent is keying on that (which seems like a perfect time to set the opponent up).

Its like he a genius and a moron at the same time, which clearly means I don't understand it, but it has been very frustrating at times because the genius part is definitely there.

 

[erikill]

One thing I did appreciate was Roman Reigns speaking about the game. We really should be using more of that to get us fans somehow. Hopefully we use him as an advocate for GT and build new future fans

 

[gt_white_gold]

MBS is a shithole and I hate it. Move our cupcake game there and öööö that place forever.

We should have kept the Georgia State game, tried shifting it to the dome and canceled the game against the FCS team

 

[CornerBlitz]

I felt we had some head scratching calls at critical points, but UGA is pretty stout against the run, but we should have utilized our TE's more. That throw was there for the pickings all game. I must tip my hat to our second half defense. I can't help but wonder if we didn't benefit from some of our secondary starters getting banged up and the subs actually outperforming the starters. For one that #31 was playing solid defense. UGA had over 200 yds in the first half with 150 coming on the ground. Even Booger McFarland said at that pace UGA would go over 300 against us. Guess what UGA's final total yardage was 260. Hopefully it's something to build on going forward. THWG!

Great points. My question is, who put the game plan together? Nothing we did Friday resembled a Gideon game plan…absolutely nothing. We played aggressive in the secondary and swarmed to the ball in run support. No passive coverage and ill timed blitzes.

uga’s backup center played the second half. He was a freshman and looked every bit the part. We did make adjustments, but for the most part they simply couldn’t use the a gaps in the second half because of the center.

Well whatever he did was aggressive and worked. He adjusted to their running game and stopped them. Maybe we’ll finally put together a complete game in the bowl game and get the 10th win.

I’d need to watch it again, but I think we played aggressive man coverage and had more of a gap control run scheme, even in our blitz scheme. This was a huge change from pat games.

I couldn’t figure out our run assignments the past 4 weeks. We left gaps wide open and did not contain and played soft off man or even softer cover 4.

It also helped that the oc' son was knocked out-of-the game and the backup center was a gaping chest wound in the A gap...

One positive of NIL is the factories can't stockpile talent as easily, this is an exhibit to that assertion.

Helped what? UGAg has 4 and 5 star OL's across the entire roster. GT's NG was out for the game. Don't give me some whiney bitch shit about replacing a 4* or 5* with a 4* or 5*. Boo ööööing hoo.

 

[OldSchoolJacket]

If we play that game at BDS the outcome may very well have been different. May we never sell another home game to make it their home again. I'd gladly bypass the 10M for a win over them. That whole environment was a shit show.
