Our players can tell themselves that they’re the better team, but we were a team that didn’t know its ** from its * on the field today. That was easily the worst game we’ve played since Richt’s been here.

As you say, Jeff, there was nothing the Dawgs didn’t do wrong today. It was a pathetic effort that says a lot more about us than it does about the Gators. Florida was a vastly smarter team today. We were poorly coached, poorly prepared, and vastly deficient in every facet of the game.

Congrats to the Gators. I guess we’ll have to “Remember the timeouts!” until next year.

(Yeah. That’s bulletin-board material.)

Did not belong? r u an idiot? You must not have watched the same game i did. Our defense held their own and so did our offense. the huge difference makers were the offensive pass interference that wasnt called when allen almost had his jersey ripped off and then the defensive pass interference when green was held to put the defender in the position to get the int. take those two away from florida and the game is different. I give it to Florida for the win but i just love how those things get overlooked.

You guys already know I’m smart. I have an undergraduate degree from a really good NORTHERN school and I have an MBA from Wharton. I live temporarily in the South, but nevertheless love the Puppies. Thr PUPS were screwed. If the refs had not cheated we might have lost by just 3 touchdowns. Nevertheless, we really do have the best team. Take it from a really smart guy. We have wom the recruiting battle for the last 10 years. That is all that matters. Where were the red pants?

“the huge difference makers were the offensive pass interference that wasnt called when allen almost had his jersey ripped off and then the defensive pass interference when green was held to put the defender in the position to get the int. take those two away from florida and the game is different.”

That kind of statement is the reason why this program gets no respect. When you get your @$$ kicked, you don’t have it in you to admit it. The team was overrated and got punked against the only two good teams it’s played. Just deal with it. You’re a second-rate program and you’ll NEVER be a national championship caliber program.

Wow, a great open minded article and right on target. Any Georgia players that think this game was closer than the score needs to take a drug test Monday morning. No person with any sense of reality could say that this was anything but a thorough butt kicking by the Gators. Get a grip Dawg Fans, the Gators out played you, out scored you, out coached you and in the end showed what a completely over rated Quarterback Matthew Stafford is. No leadership, no accuracy, and his last trip off the field showed no class as well when he head butted the Florida linebacker. No excuse for that at all. And what’s up with Moreno tapping himself out of the game all the time? Is he so out of shape that he can’t stay in the game and finish the drill? Coach Richt aren’t your players supposed to finish the drill? Moreno can’t even finish the drive much less the game. But hey, here’s the bright side Dawg Fans….hopefull Mons Venus is still open in Tampa when you go to the Outback Bowl.

By heeldawg

Hey, the better team won today. I’m a Dawg fan but we were out-coached, out-hustled and out-executed—again. Sure, the refs made some bad calls (and bad no-calls). But 39 points’ worth? Not hardly.

The playcalling in the red zone was absurd (QB misdirection? Not running the ball on 2nd and 3?). The onside kick in the first half was asinine. The turnovers in the third quarter were deadly.

This was a beat-down. The turnovers hurt a lot, but those were mistakes that great teams don’t make. Stafford missed open receivers, threw into coverage (as usual), and Moreno couldn’t get rolling (and when he did, he’d take himself out of the game).

Georgia’s a talented team that is not well-prepared for big games. That’s coaching. It is an undisciplined team that makes crucial errors (turnovers, penalties) in pivotal situations. That’s coaching. It is a team plagued by the limitations of its coaching staff to the extent that it cannot compete at the national title level.

This season is 2004 all over again—if we’re lucky. We badly beat the defending champs LSU that year, as well, but lost to Florida and won the Cap One Bowl after being ranked #3 in the preseason. Hmmmm.

The dogs got beat by two top five teams. Jacksonville is hardly a home game for Georgia. Florida was and is the better team this year. Probably will be for quite some time. I am a UGA fan as you can tell. There is one difference between me and the rest of these idiots that vent their pathetic frustrations out on a blog by a low rent paper. I could care less that the score was 49-10. I have a life. I would have felt the same way had Georgia won 49-10. I would not get a raise at my job had the dawgs won. Matthew Stafford will go onto make millions in the NFL. So will Tebow, Moreno, and several others. This is the great irony of sports. When it is all said and done, these athletes could care less about what we think. Football is a money game. There is one thing I will say about Tebow….He is a winner. Stafford is yet to prove he can win. Kinda like a Tennessee quarterback about ten years ago. He, Peyton Manning, could not win the big one in college either. A Super Bowl did just fine.

Georgia stunk it up. The only thing worse than a team without talent is a team with talent that plays like bums, and I think this Georgia team fits into that latter, dubious category. Dooley had some teams like this, I can think of at least three (77, 79 and 84), and the first and third team in that group did not win a game from November on. It remains to be seen whether this team will join those — they could still run the table and end up in a mid-range bowl. But I’m afraid this lot has the potential to poop it right up till the end. The personal fouls and classes behavior are completely inexcusable, and if Richt can’t reign it by next year he has no business coaching at this level.

The puppies were over-rated at the end of last year. But Richt and Georgia are the charm of the media. Even after last year’s insult to Ga., Fla. and the college game of football. I guess payback is hell! Richt seems to think other coaches can’t recruit, coach, and motivate as well as he can. Well, he better wake up. He’s lived a dream life so far, but he’s about to hear the wrath of the Bulldog nation. Just pulling stunts like last year’s celebration, and he will have honed the skill of motivating your opponents. Just keep it up. We all reap what we sow.

I’m embarrassed to be a GA fan. We can not kick field goals and we kick an on side kick to last years heisman trophy quarterback. You have about a 10% chance of getting that ball, if not they got a 90% of getting at least three points. Our kicker and our coach put us in bad situations, which set the tone for the night. This is an emotional game, we let them get all the emotions through poor play and bad coaching.

Hey Scultz, “UGA never belonged”? Are you kidding? You must have been watching a different game? Here’s a “Reality Check” for YOU. Total Yards: UF-373/UGA-398 First Downs: UF-22/UGA-21. Time of Possession: UF-29 Mins./UGA-31 Mins. There were 3 differences in the game. #1-TURNOVERS, #2-UGA’s missed field goals early in the game gave UF momentum #3-Horrible Officiating. Why didn’t the zebras just take the guess work out of the game and dress in blue/orange? Tebow getting a first down on UF’s 2nd drive. A play Richt challenged and was CLEARLY right. Even the CBS announcers stopped drueling over Tebow long enough to say that Richt appeared to get hosed on the call. That pretty much set the tone for the rest of the game. Oh well, such is life for the Dawgs. UGA was whipped on the scoreboard which is all that really counts. But, you’re giving UF way too much credit. The “reality” is UGA beat themselves. If YOU didn’t see it that way, perhaps you’re the one who’s delusional?

When a coach has to resort to “Bush League” celebrations as with the touchdown celebration last year, convincing your players that the color of jersey you are wearing means something, depending on what color clothes your fans are wearing, to win ball games, you are searching for anything to win ball games.

That said. Florida capitalized on everything and yes there was some crappy officiating but guess what? Florida capitalized on that. They took it to the bank like google stock a few years ago. do I think they are the better team? No but they were the better team today just like Alabama was that day.

But of course that won’t happen. It should! But it won’t. CMR is too nice. The kool-aid drinkers will find an excuse. The refs(We all know Penn Wagers hates georgia, we need to play in spite of that), our youth (Florida will return all 11 starters on defense if Spikes doesn’t go pro), our OL (Bobo was the dummy who had Stafford passing on 2nd and 3. They looked decent with Florida playing 8 in the box), whatever.

The fact is we made a million mistakes, Florida didn’t and they took advantage of all million of them, and Urban Meyer started the death of the Mark Richt era in Athens.

I don’t believe anyone w/ a pea-size brain is saying that anymore.

However, I’m not dogging Richt, I respect the guy and think he’s a very good coach but based on his record, accomplishments and what I’ve seen from his teams this year (Bama, Fla), the gimmicks (Black jerseys) I’m starting to believe he’s just another Tommy Tuberville.

Good but not great.

Yo Paul Lanier - Stats are for LOSERS…please don’t make determination on stats…heart, soul, focus, determination, coaching, and talent play into the ultimate equation. Unfortunately, despite UGA’s top 5 recruiting classes for the past umpteen years, UGA can’t get past barely above average. We cannot become a dominant force - not even close..why? I wish I knew, but a lot obviously has to do with COACHING. LSU and FLA have become the dominant forces through the past several years. And FLA still owns us over the last 20 games. Alabama may be the next coming…we’ll see. I’m absolutely DISGUSTED at the talent we have and the results we have produced thus far. Sorry…the SEC is tough and you have to produce. So, don’t flash some statistics and think we’re better than we are…we aren’t. Great teams find a way to win, play complete games, and are focused, determined, and play as a TEAM.

We will be breaking in a new quarterback…hopefully Gray or Murray. Caleb King makes the right cuts, but he is too slow to make that matter. We are losing Massaquoi and I haven’t seen a receiver yet who appears they can step it up and take some of the heat off AJ. WHAT CORE??? I surely hope you guys aren’t talking about Sturdivant…1 OL isn’t going to make that big of a difference. Ala and UF have shown we are rebuilding…not reloading like the class programs of the country. We are geting top flight recruits, but they aren’t, aside from AJ, difference makers when they arrive. Simply put, we aren’t quite where we want to be yet after 8 years.

Glad to see sanity among some Dawg fans. Haven’t seen much all year. Started #1 before any games were played. Muddled around but won the first few games. But the moaning and groaning had already begun. Dawgs moved down in the polls which was clear to anyone with an objective mind = which seemed to be lacking with the Dawg fans. Then the Alabama shellacking and the fans who felt they were #1 and had been screwed by the media and poll services starting blasting Rodriguez and some of the players. Win a few more games and begin to think about how they’re really a #1 calibre team and the different scenarios for getting there. Now another shot of reality vs UF. After the game Zeier and his post game talk show host were waffling saying that at the beginning of the year they really didn’t think this was a national championship team but if the core group stays together that next year will be the year. Say what?!!? Is thereany wonder most folks loathe Dawg fans. Totally unrealistic but that doesn’t slow down their arrogance. How could a team with top 5-10 recruiting classes every year underperform so often? If you listen to the posters in this thread(and the UGA announcers in the first half) it’s because of the referees. What a bunch of cry babies who never accept there could be a character/discipline problem that robs the team of achieving its full potential. And that goes to the fans as well.

Where’s Bradley??? He wrote preseason that Tebow would win the Heisman again but Georgia would beat Florida again. Did he have the day off? I want see an article from him about why he was sooooo off on that prediction. I am not even a UF fan but a USF fan who is watching all his neighbors living in a fantasy world about what was coming this weekend.

Stafford is the most over rated QB in Georgia history. If I’m wrong (which is rare) then we have some pretty lousy coaching. Over rated, over hyped, over BS’d. Program is headed in the wrong direction. What to do? What to do? And by the way Coach….Jesus doesn’t win F’ing Football games and last time I checked, that’s what you get paid $3 Million a year to do.

UGA players must all be from Georgia and on HOPE because they do Georgia Math so well. Start with #1 and don’t show-up for the games and they keep getting bad GRADES #16. CAN NO-SHOW or FAT MATT still go in the 1st round as Jr.s or are they going to SAVE CHRIST mark WRONG as SR.s? HAHHAHAHAHA. Can you guys win some games so that come Nov. 29 you actually matter? Just picking FUN. You say GT don’t matter because we haven’t beat you lately, but THE GATORS say the samething about YOU. HAHAHA. UGA VII is BAMA’s and GATORS BIH, but soon to be BUZZ’s too. NO-SHOW were you wearing that HEISMAN GOLD THONG today? P.S. Lewis Grizzard just rolled over in his grave to get FKED by a FLORIDA GATOR AGAIN.

Its good to see the Dawgs are going to play at the Georgia Dome this Year. Peach Bowl style that is. Hey Jeff you picked the Mutts Friday & your boy Mark ” Insert foot in Mouth” Bradley said and I quote “Tim Tebow is a great player. Tim Tebow is the Heisman holder. Come Saturday, Tim Tebow will be the second-best quarterback on the field.”. That one really cracks me up.

This is the score when you have to play the Gators and the refs. Give me a break in that first half. Tebow is clearly down before the first down stick on that third down and Richt’s challenge was correct. Somehow the idiot SEC replay officials can’t get it right. Then on the same drive we intercept a pass but are penalized for doing to a Florida player what that player was doing to our player but somehow that idiot SEC official can see our guy holding the gator face mask but can’t see the gator holding the Bulldog face mask. Unbelieveable…typical sorry SEC officiating. When you are playing from behind like that the whole complexion of the game changes.

I love the Dawgs but this was a game of disappointments. I am disappointed that Coach Richt does not know how to consistantly emotionally/mentally prepare his team for big games. I am disappointed that Moreno too often takes himself out of the game at the most crucial points, especially in the red zone. Most other backs don’t do that. If he’s too winded maybe he should run more wind sprints during the week to prepare. I’m mostly disappointed that they lost the game and played poorly but still thinks they didn’t play that bad. I don’t like Florida but I will pull for them to kick Alabama’s behind then go on to win it all to prove where the best teams come from.

HA HA HA!!! Now we can stop hearing about that national tite crap. You are not even going to win your division. Again. And in typical redneck form, their half-brain players think they are the better team after yet another butt-whopping. Give it u little doggies. You are nothing special!! HA HA HA!!!!!

* Could it be that despite our Top 5 recruiting classes for the last many years the the JACKETS will be ranked ahead of us on Monday? Should be? Could be? Do we blame it on bad calls and unlucky breaks? I don’t think that counts…The only saving grace to this whole debacle is the fact Tennessee is in the cellar. LOL. *

Embarrassing. We do have some highly skilled players, but we cannot/have not utilized that talent. Some of the play calling has been just ridiculous, not only this game, but others as well. The defense has given up way to many points, not just in losing, but winning also. This was even worse than Tennessee last year, and I thought that was about as bad as we could get. I hate to say it, but I do think we have some serious coaching issues. Nonetheless, Go Dawg’s ! ! (not sure where we’re going however).

Florida is the best team in the country at this moment, and anyone who can’t see that doesn’t know football. The Dawgs got beat by an incredible team, with superior coaching and talent. This is not to say I don’t care for the way they run up scores on everyone (not just UGA), but I have to tip my hat to their team. They will continue to impress - the football nation, pollster, talking heads, and me. There is not another team this season that will compete with them. They will be champions again.

With that said, many of the so-called fans who blog here, who don’t play a down, and wouldn’t qualify to carry a jock strap, are the most vile, sick, rude people on the face of the earth. Do you think it’s easy preparing for these games, making mistakes and listening to you’re warped views in these blogs? I’m not talking about me or other bloggers… it’s the players who you know will read this. They don’t deserve your hate and ha-ha’s. They play for their schools, for pride, for each other… and for your entertainment… and for TV to make a fortune on their efforts (read ESPN). Yet, when they don’t go undefeated, or win convincingly enough to please you, you all go ballistic in these blogs and tear them and their coaches down! What’s funny is these kids will go on to lead productive lives, and probably never darken these blogs where so many underachieving low-lifes and insecure babies love to reside.

I’m proud of the Dawgs… today, this year, last year, forever. They didn’t take the week off like a lot of folks did. These kids do the best they can every day to make us proud and, win or lose, I will always support them. Again, congratulations to the Gators! May you win it all and make the SEC Nation proud!

Hey Paul Lanier, add 150 yards in interception return yards to Floridas total and now we’re getting somewhere. Drives starting inside your own 10 yard line because of picks is never a good ingredient to a successful game.

Yes UGA is overrated. They beat LSU by virtue of 3 INT’s by the freshman LSU QB and they went 3 and out in 5 of 12 offensive sets. Last week the headlines said UGA stomps LSU but in reality the real stomping was this week by the Gators.

come on lets be real here. there was horrible calls in this game and the refs didnt call penalties on gators. majority of the gators points came because of no calls on the reffs if them calls were made this game would have been different. of course the score ended the way it did because uga was on passing plays for the rest of the game, they couldnt do what they did best(run/play action) i mean come on gators won and played better but come on did yall really watch the game

How could a fine team (talent wise) be any more unprepared to compete than Ga was in their 2 biggest games? Simple,you can’t! We have the talent to win 8-9 times without playing great games. But we don’t have the coaching to get them to play great when the competition is as talented. Not only that, they are so badly prepared they give up 90 points in those 2 games and score only a handful of points before the game is out of hand!

Really did anyone really think the dogs were going to beat the gators? Georgia has not played a COMPLETE game all year. Prior to this game Georgia looked sloppy against Vandy, Tenn, and kept LSU in the ball game. Didn’t anyone notice that Florida is peaking. I told everyone that to compete with the gators Georgia was going to have turn it up alot of notches. That did not happen.

Yo igotxx3, you are kidding, right? Even without the questionable calls the Gators win by 4 TDs…not sure your point here. ?? We stunk up the field today and there’s no real excuse for it with the talent we have. You are way too kind. And remember how much this coaching staff is getting PAID.

I’m extremely disappointed in the support and devotion we demonstrate on a regular basis for our professional teams. The Braves for example dominated the Nineties. Out of nowhere they went from obscurity to notriety. However, they lacked genuine fan support during their times of tribulation. Our Bulldogs failed to control the game, penetrate, execute (which is nothing new). Missed opportunities, Penalties at critical moments, lack of penetration, motivation, and determination. We all have to bare the burden of an unfulfilled year. There’s no reason why Georgia lost to Alabama and Florida. It’s not Coach Richt’s fault. Poor execution is all of our responsibility. I hope we all learn the lessons this season has so graciously disseminated to us. One game at a time, celebrate when the ultimate goal has been accomplished, and stay hungry. Georgia wasn’t hungry this year. They are neither Overrated or Unachieving. They lost to tough competitors. They could have easily won both games… It’s not over. Not by a long shot. In spite of the humiliation / embarrassment, we shall prevail, and I believe this will happen in Coach Richt’s time. We can’t replace him. It’s impossible. We can’t become flaky, inconsistent, and hypocritical when the chips are down. Where’s is that Georgia pride. We all need a “GUT CHECK!”

I can’t wait for the next Mark Bradley Column. Is your boss a UGA alum? Stroke it a little to the left next time Mark… tool. Gators came to play. So did the dogs, but FL proved to be the better team. No shame in that Dog Nation. Just don’t try to blame on the refs.

When you Georgia fans are predicting a national title again this July, remember that you HAVE TO PLAY THE GAMES FIRST.

The sleeping giant in Florida is forever awake. Thank you Steve Spurrier for what you have started, and Urban Meyer for continuing the domination.

And please - Mark Richt - never leave Athens. May Georgia’s love affair with mediocrity never cease.
