Us Dog fans better enjoy it no matter how lucky we were cause the next four games could be disastrous and humiliating. How many points will the defense give up? How many misreads for Stafford? How many fumbles and dropped passes? How badly will the dogs be outcoached? 6-6 and may not deserve a bowl game, Shreveport or no.

Well, there’s good and bad news. First for the bad…

The icing was spread a little thicker on the “Fire Willie Martinez” cake. when your defensive scheme can’t stop MSU’s anemic offense, you have problems. Everyone knows we have more talent and athleticism than them—that makes it a coaching problem, and one that needs to be remedied after the season—and adjusted during. Will somebody please tell WM that his pillow soft zone isn’t working? When MSU can go 60 yards in 20 seconds at the end of the 4th quarter, it’s not good.

Sadly, this win changed my mind about our final record this regular season. I was thinking 8-4, beating one of Tech, UF, and AU. 7-5 looks more likely if our defense can’t make some stops and our receivers can’t get their heads on straight.

Lastly, shame on the fans that booed Massaquoi’s drop and cheered when he was taken out. Yeah, he needs to catch the ball, but booing the Dawgs is cheering for the other team. I’d rather you not come to the game than go and boo your own team. Poor form.

And for the good news. I saw a very talented, yet still a freshman quarterback in Matthew Stafford. He has uncanny pocket presence and a great arm, but still needs to work on his decision making and field vision. Very promising for the future, though. 20-32 with another 3-4 drops and I believe the first time this season one QB has passed for over 200 yards (Correct me if I’m wrong). Richt made the right choice going with #7. He needs to be the spark that can prove me wrong and lead us to an 8 or 9 win season, and I hope he is.

As I stated last week we continue to show signs of a serious depth problem due to top recruits not making it into the program. It is scary right now to think that we do not have a replacement for the defensive interior that we have been spoiled with since the days of Stroud and Seymour. Our linebackers are not making plays and our defensive backfield is missing headhunters. Why in the world did we redshirt Reshad Jones if he was as good as advertised. Where is CJ Byrd? Jeff Owens and Cade Weston are good young players but they need help. All the dawgs haters coming out of the woodwork in these last few weeks go ahead and get your shots because this team will be in the hunt for the next few years with Stafford and Co.

Georgia is an average team at best and Martinez is pathetic. How on earth do we allow MSU to come down the field like that at the end of the game? Before the sack, how big was the missed PAT looking?

Keep Stafford in the rest of the year so he can develop a little hatred for the Gators, Tigers, and Jackets after they walk all over us. It’s going to be ugly next week.

Some guy actually had the nerve to whine about the “demise of UGA” article whooping it up about our soon to be 6-2 record. Bet he was sweating towards the end of the game. We are a sorry 6-2 with a solid chance to go 6-6.

Haven’t felt this bad on Saturdays since the Goof days. I hope Belue is right about the next couple of years being ours because this one sure isn’t.

I can’t belive that we gave up over 300 yards to Miss State. What happened to the defence we had at the beginning of the year? It is really nice to have a voctory though. I was afraid that those 5! turnovers might be too much to overcome. Lets pray we can bring in a big time RB this year. We have to stop letting all of our 5 start recruits go to other schools, but…the coaching staff has been wasting lots of talent this year.

Folks, it doesnt need a brainer to see our problems, fortunately CR has fixed one by starting Stafford. we became very predictible in our defense, CMR should fire Willi Martenize and invest more in a creative D. coordinator, look at Florida they have 2 D. coordinators. Or look at Alabama their defense is outstanding. the point is you have to change your D schemes every game. and by far we have one of the best D players in college fotball. Vangorder was aggrissive, Willi is very soft and has no experience.go after Tanute of GT Georgia should hire offinsivr coordinator to extend our play book. NEXT WEEK AGAINST FLORIDA, MARTINIZE DONT RUSH LEAK WITH 3 AND 4 PLAYER, GO AFTER HIM PLITZ HIS A$$ AND BE A MAN.

Thoughts: 1. We are having a down year….and we are 6-2. Six and Two, folks. We have serious problems, but let’s not go apoplectic. I’m young, and I remember worse years. The type of unhinged pessimism that I hear from UGA fans reminds me of Tenn. fans.

1. I’m convinced that WM needs to go.

2. We have much to play for…this year. By most standards, if we beat Fla., Aub., and GT.,…all in one year, it is a pretty good year. Will it happen? Maybe not. But it could. If you’ve given up, I would suggest that you are not a true fan. Well, you might be a fan, but not a helpful one.

3. Finally, we will be very good…and soon. Let me posit this…sometimes, it is good to go through lean times to truly appreciate the great times. Uga fans need to suck it up for a while, deal with what we have, and with class, and then enjoy what lies ahead. Go Dawgs.

I agree. We need both an Off. & Def. Coordinator. The defense is too soft and the offense is usually too vanilla. I especially didn’t like that 4 receiver Univ. of Hawaii offense today. As a UGA grad I’ll support the dawgs to the end. I really hope that we don’t make it to a lower tier bowl and play like we either don’t want to be there or like we don’t think we should be there like we did a few yrs. back in the Music City Bowl.

WHAT A BUNCH OF JERKS! NO MATTER WHAT A PLAYER MAY DO WHEN TRYING TO DO HIS BEST, IT IS ALWAYS UNACCEPTABLE TO BOO THE PLAYER. IT IS AN EMBARASSMENT TO OUR GREAT UNIVERSITY TO COME DOWN TO THAT LEVEL AND WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK IT DOES TO OUR PROSPECTIVE RECRUITS.

There are plenty people getting paid and well who are not performing to their potential. Boo them.

Joe Kines’ defense is playing lights out as usual. Unfortunately, most didn’t realize what we had when we had him. We made the politically correct move to bring the guy from Tenn. primarily for recruiting who was clueless. Kines would have to try to make the halftime adjustments to save us. He became so displeased when stripped of his DC duties and having to perform mop-up behind the scenes, that he left to become the linebackers coach at FSU before quickly re-emerging as an excellent DC in the SEC. We currently make NO halftime adjustments. Gary Danielson calling the Ala-Tenn game on TV commenting on the Ala. defense and secondary play “it’s for sure it ain’t the Georgia defense”. That’s embarassing, but I cannot disagree!!!

Mosy of you people are in complete denial, and should not be allowed out in public.

ANYONE who follows the program closely, and hence a real UGA fan, knew we would struggle this season. With our safeties unable to support the run nor provide any supplemental pressure on the opposing QB, coupled with a freshman QB of our own, an offensive line so devoid of talent, not to mention just absolute available bodies, we are supposed to be down this year. You think just because we show up with the uniform on we’d win-PLEASE! This is the SEC, not your high-school team from Valdosta.

For the rest of you who have a clue and an IQ above that of room temoerature, we’ll be fine-but not this season.

Bad News: Our safeties are not making plays. Tra Battle was a walk on for a reason, and Kelin Johnson isn’t stepping it up. The safety play is just plain horrible.

Bad News: Our corners are young and are getting burned occasionally. Mississippi State picked on Bryan Evans most of the day, and he got beat several times.

Good News: Our corners are young, very athletic, and are learning from their mistakes (something the safeties aren’t doing). I’m excited that I’ll get to watch R. Brown, Bryan Evans, Asher Allen, and Prince Miller develop over the next few years. They may make mistakes now, but they’ll be money in 3 years.

Good News: Stafford shows flashes of greatness (duh).

Bad News: Stafford shows flashes of being a true freshman (duh).

Offense: They have the ability to go big. I like the way Richt changed it up for Stafford and went 4 and 5 wide. Stafford has the talent and presence to find an open man and get it to him in a hurry. I also saw our recievers making some good downfield catches. Stafford was off on a few throws and threw it behind his guy a couple of times, but he’ll learn. Lumpkin looks ready to take charge, give him some blocking and he’ll take it 5 yards every time.

Brandon Southerland is a complete and total BADASS! I’m not sure if it is good thing or a bad thing that our fullback is the best player on our team, but I like Southerlands ability.

Memo to Willie: Chris Leak sinks like a heavy turd when you blitz him. So, ah, you should blitz him. And don’t do that delayed blitz crap, stick Dewberry and Ellerbe in their and tell them to knock the crap out of that fairy that plays QB for Florida (I hate Florida).

Memo to Richt: We have to score 40 on the Gators to have a chance, so come out slingin it.

Steve. You have put a little gloom and doom on our offensive potential for the next few years. If as you put it our offensive line was devoid of talent and numbers, when will that get better? If we are that bad why are we not playing the new recruits now? I haven’t seen that many freshmen or sophmores ready to play consistently on the line so I don’t see any future recruits contributing anytime soon.

I love my Dawgs and always will, but I am surprised at how bad we are playing this year. It is so frustrating. Everything is predictable…the offence is predictable, the defence is just plain bad. I hate saying that we need to fire someone, but it may be time to look at the coaching staff and make some changes. I mean Auburn and Tennessee are loving the changes they have made the last 2 years. I think that WM time as D-cord. is come to an end. I think that he needs to go; send Janek the LB coach with him. On offence, I think that Richt needs to get rid of Eason and Callaway. We do need to bring an O-Cord. to help with play calling and to freshen up the scheme. I look at what Clemson, Arkansas, Louisville, and Texas are doing on offence this year and wonder why are scheme doesn’t look more like theirs. I think that we have the talent and foundation of the same system to get it done despite having a freshman QB…I’m trying to look at the bright side, but I am very concerned about next year already. We don’t have an O-line next year at all. We will need to play at least 5 freshman next year on the O-line to just get by. I’m hoping that our WRs learn to catch by next year too. I hope those freshman safties bring a very physical presence that we are lacking this year. I hope that all the LBs that we are redshirting are ready to step up or it will be a tough year again. I agree that Stafford’s junior year sets up to be a national title run, but next year I am not so sure. What does everyone really think about next year?

Georgia needs a playmaker at quarterback. Stafford is not it. Somehow Georgia coaches convinced Josh Nesbitt that he is not a quarterback. Now we must watch Josh beat Georgia for 4 years. Defenses have changed and the quarterback position must adjust. Texas 06, National Championship..Ohio State 07 National Championship..West Virginia 08 National Championship..see the pattern here? Steve Spurrier saw the change and adjusted, his team blew out the same team that beat Georgia last week. This is not a rebuilding year. Vandy, South Carolina, Ole Miss will all are young teams and will be better next year. A mobile quarterback will help you win NOW..not in their senior year like Stafford..ask Steve Spurrier!

Okay, the defense stinks this year compared to past years. That is not really a point to be argued.

And hear me out, I’m not defending Martinez’s schemes and play calling.

But with the offense turning the ball over 5 times today…how can you expect the defense to pick you up and hold the opposing team out of the end zone every time? We’ve had so many sloppy turnovers the past few games in or near the redzone. Can you honestly expect the defense to pitch a shut-out in those conditions?? Face it, it is a team-wide problem. When you add dropped balls, missed blocks, turnovers and soft coverage…you get a crappy team having a crappy season.

That is the kind of leadership Stafford can bring, but only if he is acknowledged as the future and allowed to play, even if he has some bad plays.

If you want to win next year, make sure we reqruit receivers who can catch a well thrown ball. We will be lucky to have Stafford for 4 years as the pros are already watching him.

It will be interesting to see if Richt will have the balls to fire Willie after this season. I disagree, though, that he’ll take a lesson from Bowden as far as loyalty goes. Yes, Bowden was loyal, but his coaches also got him in the top 5 for 14 straight years, so he should have been! If Bowden’s defense had gotten trampled by Vandy I think he would have made a change.

I think Richt will at least demote Martinez, b/c it’s pretty obvious we’re being outcoached on defense. How else do you explain that we’ve fallen apart in the 2nd half of the last 3 games? We don’t make adjustments!

UGA1986: We have signed 22 O-linemen since MR’s arrrival(who should be on the roster), but only eight are on scholarship due to things like Non-Qualifiers, three lost permanently to shoulder injury, etc. I wish we’d expand our search for O-linemen outside GA to areas where we could find some studs who can think and speak in complete and lucid sentences. Do any of us realize how complex the offensive plays/scemes/formations etc are with MR offensive plan? That’s what makes so difficult for freshmen to comprehend.

I wish they could somehow limit these blogs to GRADUATES of UGA who truly love the university, and not the fringe nuts who never graced a college classroom, and make the most noise…….

Cheering for Mo leaving the game today makes now officially ashamed to be lumped into the so called “buudog nation”. I have gone to UGA games since I was 5 months old and have been going since. But until today I have never seen such a pitiful reaction from so called fans. Yall need to get a f*@!ing life that does not involve booing a 20 year old kid that is still the best receiver we have. We have reached an all time low and it makes me sick!! These are all new bulldogs the ones that showed up when CMR won a SEC Champ in 2002.

slider, you hit it! Anybody that didn’t see our QB of the future today dosen’t know a thing about FB and I’m including Bradley. In spite of 5 TOs, we scored 4 Tds today. Excuse me but when was the last time that happened? 5 TOs and we’re history. What about MR thinks the “Texas Gunslinger” is going to throw to the FB, but as MR said after the game, “I guess Matthew didn’t like that play”. So, he goes down field to Trip Chandler for a TD. anybody see Inman comments abouut that play? Our “D”? What can anyone say? I don’t know and next week won’t be fun but we’ve made a start.

People need to take into account the impact of QB play on team results. State’s Henig was just back, and it sure looks like he has the arm to make them a different team. South Carolina - Newton has stabilized that position and they are improving (just in time for UT and UF). Us - Stafford for 4 qtrs creates way more potential for results than has been there all year. With a gunslinger at QB - hey, you never know what kind of score they might put up against the big teams.

It’s one thing when people from the Bug school or people from that school with the ugly, obnoxious orange uniforms and hound dog mascot bad mouth our team. But when our “fans” bad mouth our coaches, players and school, it’s utterly ridiculous. Those “fans” are more than welcome to switch sides. PLEASE, switch sides. Go show your loyalty (ha)somewhere else. My guess is most of you who are so freakin’ smart and have all the answers never even played college football, much less coached.

Those of us who have supported our Dawgs from the glory years of Herschel through the not so great 90’s and now in the Richt years, know that a fan, a real fan, supports his team…always. You do not get on blogs and run the team down. That is not good for the players, the university or the program. Keep your opinions to yourself, and when you are a football coach of a major university, you can speak. Otherwise, shut up.

And, for the losers who boo’d a 20 year old kid, you showed a total lack of character and should have been ejected from Sanford Stadium. These kids are not paid professionals making millions of dollars. They carry a full class load, then spend almost all of their free time practicing and watching film and working for the next game. They are trying their hardest and should absolutely be encouraged, and never, ever, ever boo’d.

Not every team can be great every year. Remember Alabama, Nebraska, Colorado, Miami…teams that were national contenders year after year, but are facing not so good years now? It runs in cycles. UGA is having a rebuilding year. As someone said in an earlier post, true fans who keep up with the football program knew before the season started, we would have a tough year. It is what it is. So, support our Dawgs and be a true fan, or go be somebody else’s “fan”.

By the way, for all the snotty Tech comments, I just finished watching Clemson hammer the Bugs 31-7.

Bill, I can’t say I disagree with you, but you are one “the glass if half empty” sort of guy. It is tough, but we just are not very good right now, but just good enough today to get a win. This team is struggling to learn how to win and from that vantage point, today will help. Finally, the defense actually did something to help cement a win. By the way, all you Stafford junkies are getting exactly what Richt told you that you would get: 3- 4 interceptions a game and few unbelievable great plays. I suppose those interceptions are Richt’s fault…

They are not playing well because they want to. They are a bunch of kids trying to play a game under a great deal of pressure from fans that have no patience and demand perfection every play. My life won’t change because they lose but their’s could because of the way we treat them. I graduated from UGA as did my son and daughter.

And finally what can I say about Martinez that hasnt already been said!! We gave up a compbined 300 yards rushing to bad Colorado and Mississippi teams. 51 points to UT. Vandy moves the ball all over us in the second half. State has one of the worst offensives in the recent history in the conference and they move the ball all over us today.

Hi, my name is Darryl from Dacula. I never attended one hour of class at UGA, but I did play highschool football. I must admit that I love to sniff jockstraps…fills my mind of those glory days when Momma would watch me warm the bench. Now, I just spend my time during games, snickering at true Dawg fans for demanding more of the coaches/players. I don’t like to hear the booing…reminds me of that time at Dacula when our 2nd and 3rd string punters went down, and coach called me away from trash detail to boot one for the team (net 12yards)! I never got over the booing. Why did they all hate me so much (what is a “spanker” anyway?)? Why haven’t I moved on? I’m 48 years old and I’m living each moment of my life through 20 year old kids…I love to coddle them! Meanwhile, the fans who demand perfection, continue to hurl insults at our poor staff/players. It just makes me want to cry!
Enough for now, I gotta go. I’m going to put my “Lord Of The Rings” dvd on repeat so that I can sleep tight…big day at the box making factory tomorrow.

Stafford did a couple of things that were very important. one play in my mind stands out and represents what’s in the future. 4 & 1, deep in their territory. Afterwards MR ,when asked why he went for it, said he was just tired of kicking FG. On that play QB has 2 choices. 1. throw to Fb in the flat or go deep to the tight end. MR says that we mostly go for the FB, but Stafford didn’t like it and went deep for ? a TD pass to chandler in the corner of th zone. Inman, who wanted to go for the 1st dn. says, I’ll never question a play call again. BTW, I liked that 4 WR set and Stafford did well playing the formation. ALTAHAMA, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT ABOUT HAVING A PKG THAT PLAYED TO THE TALENTS OF sTAFFORD. IN THE POST GAME PRESS CONFERENCE, MR WAS ASKED,”WHY THAT FORMATION SO MUCH”? HE SAID, sTAFFORD GREW UP PLAYING THAT FORMATION AND HE’S COMFORTABLE IN IT. I THINK SOME OF THOSE DEEP COMPLETIONS CAME FROM THAT FORMATION. Reptiles 42- Dawgs 30. I’m going to take the over.

We’re one year removed from an SEC Championship, not 20 as it was 5 years ago. The program doesn’t go to being bad from one year to the next. A team might better or worse. Sure the 2006 team is worse thant he 2005 team, mostly through inexperience and lack of leadership, but that doesn’t mean the entire program is bad or not what it ‘used to be’. Quit breeding malcontent. It’s bad enough to have the two losses and the bad/sloppy wins, but worse to have folks in the media making the problem bigger than it is.

Dawg defense is awful and for that reason Willie has to go. As far as Muhammad goes, he needed to go out of the game, he has dropped too many passes this year that were right in his arms. But my question is why did we have to have TV timeouts at a non TV game. Are the corporates doing that now so the fans won’t notice the difference between TV and non TV games so we won’t hate the TV media anymore.

Among thousands of students at UGA you would think there is someone on campus that can kick an extra point and be consistent from 35 yards in.

How in the world are we going to stop the gators with our 12 yard cushion zone? We blitz and the coverage is so soft my son could throw it in there. I love MR and think he is a great coach but WM has got to rethink what he is trying to do, or the gator won’t hang half a hundred it will be 100 on us. Stafford will be very good, but is still a freshman and needs “leaders” on the team to step up and catch the damn ball, and when its a 50/50 ball make a play for God’s sake. How make 50/50 balls have the Dawgs recievers won this year? Next week could get really UGAly really fast.

I grew up going to Auburn games from the time I was about six years old. I attended Auburn and have graduate degree from UGA. I don’t ever recall Auburn fans booing Auburn players. It may have happened, but I don’t remember it. However, I do remember GA fans throwing ice and other trash at UGA players back in the 90’s. This same attitude raised its ugly head yesterday in Athens. Unsportsmanlike fans should save their criticism for Michael Adams. He is a “Doctor of Spinology” and should be working for Carl Rove in Washington instead of drawing perhaps the third or founth biggest paycheck in the country among university presidents. In spite of his effort to make UGA a politically correct dream world, the football program has come to resemble the “Criminoles” in lack of discipline and unlawful behavior of players. Adams is a master at the cover up, and Richt is dancing to Adams’ tune. To quote Jerry Garcia: “Switchman’s sleeping, train hundred and two is on the wrong track and headed for you.”

I admire the optimism from many of you all, but I think we need to face some hard realities. This is the worse team we’ve had since 1996 when we went 5-6. Yes we won the game yesterday, but if we play that way again even Kentucky will blow us out let alone UF or Auburn. Yesterday was not an anomaly, we’ve played horrendously the last five games. We were lucky to win three of our last five.

What really bothers me is how fast we dropped off. What happened? We have no consistent QB play, no offensive line depth, no offensive line cohesion, dropped passes, perplexing play calls, predictable play calls, poor tackling, no pass rush, have a pourous rush defense, no dependable safeties, and most of all we look uninspired and we lack intensity. I think its too early to start firing people, but I do think the coaching staff needs to take a look in the mirror and change some of their philosophies. Either they have become soft or they have become dated because what used to worked isn’t anymore. How CMR responds to this year will define him as a coach.

BTW, have you read the “tired of same old” column by Carter? That says a lot more about the game than I think Carter realizies. Note MRs comments about Stafford’s choice and Inman’s quotes plus Chandler’s comments. IMO, very insightful.

I was listening to this game on the radio. I couldn’t believe the 3rd quarter, again. You definitely blame the coaching. What are Colorado,Tenn.,Ole Miss,Vandy,& Miss. St. coaches doing at half-time to motivate their teams for the second half that Dawgs coach MR isn’t doing for UGA ? To be one play from losing to Missy State is unbelievable. I hear all this praise for Stafford but he throws wildly into triple coverage. He had 3 ints & 2 tds. That’s not good at all. Can’t Richt tell him (in practices) to throw the ball away when a receiver is triple covered ? I think Florida will name the score if changes aren’t made now. I agree to fire Martinez but also consider hiring an offensive co-ordinator too. Can FSU’s Bobby Bowden retire this year and let Richt go there next year, please ?

Those people(not fans)that cheered when MoMass came out of the game showed a real lack of class. We must remember that these are kids. It was obvious that MoMass was upset for another dropped pass, but REAL UGA fans do not/will not disgrace anyone wearing the Red and Black. Without MoMass’ touchdown catch, we could all be feeling as bad as he did when he dropped that pass. Next time, think before you act!

Tebow is like the linebacker playing QB. Gonna have to get after him. Is UGA D up to it? Put 3-6 hats on him every chance you get. Pound him, wear him down…

JJJshabadoo…This Vol doesn’t live in the past. There are plenty of glory years years back there…Bad ones, too. To me, it’s about next week. Heck, even Vandy has HAD it’s day against all the SEC supposed powers. To get baited into the statistical past should wait until January 10th…otherwise it’s an admission of failure…

Massoqaui needs to be booed. He gets cheered for catches and jeered for drops. Every player gets the good and bad from the fans. He’s dropping easy passes right in his hands and not hard to make catches. I hear all this redshirt stuff from Richt but if a freshman is better than a senior he should play now. That goes for more than at just QB too.

TennDawg, Buck, and others, keep fighting for the right attitude here! A guy like the negative posters here has sat behind us for 15 years, yelling at every single thing that does not go perfectly. Tough to handle!

A subtle shift may be occurring with the offense, with the 4 and 5 receiver sets. This might make it interesting if they can give Stafford time to throw.

Can anyone who actually knows football weigh in on the difference between the defense now vs. pre-UT game without just a “fire WM” discussion? Did someone just find the holes and everyone is copying now? (For example, Colo said our defense was not defending the flats) Are the people wearing down, or are better O-lines neutralizing the pressure and exposing the 2ndary? TennDawg, did you play football and have insight into this?

I’m thinking it was more UGA had dominant athletes (Pollack,T.Davis,L.Pope,D.J. Shockley,Richard Seymour,etc.) those years rather than credit the coaching. UGA still drafted top 10 the last 4 years. Those players are on the team now. Coaching makes a difference when you take a lesser talented team and still win. Not taking a very talented team like the Dawgs ARE and losing. That’s poor coaching.

Absoulutely, please tell us your suggestions for making the team better ? We see that you can be the “Rah ! Rah” everything is peachy fan. Offer up some solutions to us why the good SEC teams annihilate Ole Miss & Miss. St. but UGA can barely beat them ? Was I mistaken that we were ranked top 20 in pre-season ? Were we upset fans the only ones not told that this is a rebuilding year and look for the team to go 6-6 ? All I heard about was the great UGA defense and the triple-headed monster at RB we had. Then after 3 basically easy wins came the Colorado game. Where was the effort in that game ? Have you checked and seen that Colorado has been killed almost every game before and after the game with us ? Where does the coaching and player execution go after halftime ? It disappears. I’d like Mark Richt himself to answer that question.

tyyosh - high school football was all for me. I played b-ball for the Dawgs, but I am a big supporter of the football program. My opinion regarding the defense is a little bit of all mentioned: playing too far back in the flats, lack of pressure/blitz packages, questionable tackling, etc. However, regardless of these things and as I’ve said before, I attribute so much of the inconsistencies on both sides of the ball more to youth and general inexperience. Sure there are upperclassmen peppered in there, but UGA is a young team this year, obviously beginning with our signal caller. Can’t believe the folks on here now criticizing his performance yesterday. Sure he threw three picks, but he’s a freshman who’s been thrown into SEC battles. Regardless if it’s an SEC cellar-dwellar or an elite, it is still the SEC, you know the conference that we boast upon so highly each and every year? Instead of the picks, how about mentioning the positives: 62% complete, 270 yards and 2 TD’s? Beat Florida! GO DAWGS!!!

The crap being posted on this site IS NOT voicing displeasure…it IS whining, crying, complaining and b**ing. If YOU were ever good enough to play on a major college team or if you coached a major college team, then maybe your words would carry some credibility. But, I’m willing to bet that’s not the case. But you sure have tons of advice for people who are experts in that field. Maybe CMR should hire you on his staff, as you seem to have all of the answers.

Sure, I’d rather we were winning. It’s a lot more fun. But, when we’re not winning, the measure of a true fan is whether he stands behind his team, encourages his team and gives the team time (more than just a part of a season) to make accurate corrections. My guess is these player and coaches are not sitting around thinking, “Hmmm, wonder what we can do next week to lose”. My guess is they are working their butts off trying to figure out the issues and correct them. And the griping from coach wannabes does not help our team, nor potential recruits…it hurts. In fact, if your lack of class and NOT being a true fan causes even one recruit to decide not to come to UGA, then YOU have hurt the program! But then, I guess you’d figure out a way to blame that on our Dawgs too, wouldn’t you?

What you really need to do is go be a UF fan this year if they are winning, then be a Texas fan next year if they are winning, then a USC fan the next year if they are winning..that’s all you seem to want, isn’t it? A team that is winning? But, then you wouldn’t have anything to gripe about, would you?

You have a play book but its just seeing the defense and adjusting with audibles and then the players executing. None of this seems to be going right from the calls to the execution.

I am a fan who goes to every single home game, rain, shine, cold, or hot, winning or losing, to cheer, scream, wear the colors, wave my I’m GA towel, and do all I can to support my beloved Dawgs. Whatever I can do to support and encourage my team, so that maybe, just maybe, I can help them do a bit better on the field…that’s what I’m gonna’ do. I am not going to complain, criticize or FOR SURE boo one of our players…cause that just sucks and is not the measure of a true fan. So, that’s my opinion, and that’s all it is, my opinion.

Robdawg06, you may want to put down the NCAA2007 that you’ve won 4 straight national championships & 4 Heismans for Matt Stafford with at the Jr Varsity level, put down your beer, and realize that as a coach or player there are 90,000 people watching you and not sitting in the comfort of whatever game chair your sitting in calling your plays that you could do so easily.

And oh, by the way, it’s a GAME. And so far as it being constructive criticism, the idea is to make suggestions on how to improve what your criticizing. All you’ve written is how well other teams are playing or how poorly Dawgs players are. If you want to talk about numbers and success, and why Stafford maybe has more mistakes than Tebow. It’s because he’s played more. Stafford completed more passes yesterday (20) than Tebow has thrown all year (14). He also matched Tebow’s TD total for the year, yesterday. Yes he threw the picks, but he’s a frosh. It’s going to happen. For the record MoMass is a Soph, not a Sr. as you implied.

And you wanna talk about coaching and playing. Coaching makes a huge difference. “I’m thinking it was more UGA had dominant athletes (Pollack,T.Davis,L.Pope,D.J. Shockley,Richard Seymour,etc.) those years rather than credit the coaching.” Seymour wasn’t on the 2002 team. He wasn’t even on a Mark Richt team. Why didn’t such a dominant player lead us to a championship if coaching doesn’t matter? All the other players you mention came to UGA b/c of Mark Richt. And you wanna talk about coaches impacts and constructive criticism, maybe you look at the talented players we’ve had at WR Edwards, Gibson, MoMass and TE Pope, Milner and you notice that it’s not just MoMass dropping balls. That all of them had cases of drops in their careers, at which point you suggest, maybe it’s the coach who’s not doing something quite right. In BOTH cases, coaching has an impact.

And if you want to look on the other side of the fence or over the septic tank and see the greener grass, go stand on it. You admire UF & AU’s victories so much go be a fan for them. You give the rest of us Dawg fans a bad name. I could keep going with this, but you get the point.

robdawg06, your opinions don’t bother me at all; however, when your reasons are wrong IMO, I’m calling you on it. No way can anyone compare Tebow and Stafford. Even Reptiles agree!! Because of Leak, Reptile coaches have been able to put Tebow in ONLY IN SELECTIVE SPOTS, NOT AS A STARTING QB!!! Now, ‘06, here’s a chance to show whether or not you know from whence you speak. Mustain’s numbers at Ark. aren’t much better that Stafford’s and he has a big time running game to back him up. I’m not forgetting that we have a problem on “D” and I think it’s coaching, but, let’s face facts, MR has started to do some things differently(sp) with Stafford. I’ve been down on MR because of play calling in the past but I go back to yesterday and notice a little change don’t care how good or bad Miss. St. is. We have a QB who’s as good as anybody in the SEC. Say what you want, and like me, be prepared for others to fire back. don’t forget, we’re ALL WRONG SOMETIMES!!!

We need to get rid of Eason, Calloway and Martinez and here is plenty of reasons why!! Name one receiver thats has improved since Eason has been at UGA just one!!!! And on Calloway even though CMR calls the plays I have heard him mention numerous times about Calloway’s influence as far as play calling and offensive game preparation and plus the offensive line never seems to play up to there potential!! And finally what can I say about Martinez that hasnt already been said!! We gave up a compbined 300 yards rushing to bad Colorado and Mississippi teams. 51 points to UT. Vandy moves the ball all over us in the second half. State has one of the worst offensives in the recent history in the conference and they move the ball all over us today. I mean State didnt even score a point until the 3rd game of the year!! And Martinez if you are going to blitz you HAVE to jam the receivers at the line and not play 5 and 10 yards off of them with the corners otherwise it does absolutely no good to blitz because they will just screen and out out you all day long!! Enough said!!!!

As you can maybe tell from my “handle”, I am a veterinarian ( UGA 76 ). Veterinary schools are difficult to get into ( harder than medical school ), and only the very best academic students make it. Some of them often have a difficult time adjusting. They have been used to being at the top of the class, but the grading system imposes a “bell curve” on what was the very flat part at the right of the distribution of all college students. Now some are getting B’s and C’s when they formerly got only A’s.

What does this have to do with football? Sometimes top football recruits have not had to deal facing the amount of talent at the next level ( especially SEC ). Their talent made things easy for them in high school, but in the SEC, they have to have that talent plus learn to use it and proper techniques to have continued success. They also need to learn to count on their teammates, that they don’t have to do everything themselves. These mental changes are what coaching is about.

I have some suggestions for the coaching staff. First, when something is not working, the best plan is to go back to the basics. This means work on the fundamentals of football techniques. Second, use the KISS principle. Simplify things for the young players. If they are having to think too much, they are probably becoming confused, and confusion leads to being a “moment” too late on some plays.

As much as I am disappointed with the play of our defense, I have seen CWM “adjust” last year. We adjusted to Florida and West Virginia. It was just too late. We almost came back to win both of those games, and it was because defensive adjustments managed to stop their offenses. And, offensive adjustments helped too. In those games, I felt CWM had failed to prepare the team properly.

With the talent we have, I do feel that this is a coaching issue. I also feel that our coaches can make the “adjustments” in their coaching to do what we need to do. My money is on us “surprising” someone left on the schedule this year ( and maybe more than one of them ). GO DAWGS!!!

JYD34, there’s a lot more problems with this team than M.Mass. dropping passes. For 4 straight games each opponent has come out in the 3rd quarter and owned it. Halftime is designed for a short rest and to evaluate what went right & wrong in the first half. Tebow comes in when Fla. needs a big play or in tight goaline situations and succeeds. I’m sure if he can score on a 4th and goal (from the 5) coming cold off the bench that he could lead his team on 1st & 20. (Stafford) Throwing more int’s. than td’s. is a bad ratio on any planet. Texas QB Colt McCoy is a freshman too. He delivered a win against a good Nebraska team yesterday. You rosy (rose glassed) fans may be ok with losing to Vandy and barely beating Colorado,Ole P**,and Missy St. but I’m not. Back to the coaching, everyobne breathing agrees that Richt mismanages the use of the game clock. Just because I don’t bow down to Richt & Stafford like you entranced followers do doesn’t make me a bad UGA fan. I’m just a Dawg fan that says what most fans think but are too scared to say, the truth. I want more out of this team because its capable of more. By the way, Gibson (A.K.A. butterfingers) WAS the blame solely for several losses when he was at UGA. And JYD34, the player you took your name from was a great freshman too : Herschel Walker.

You can look up and down this blog and look at many past blogs and many of the bloggers are dead on the money about stating the problems with this team. Its true that its easy to second guess anything after the fact. But the problems we stated were after the Colorado game. The coaches have had time to fix it but still haven’t. There is still no sure handed receiver (M.Mass. has played better overall),no energy starting the 3rd quarter,bad clock management,poor offensive play-calling,and very poor defense (especially the DB’s playing 10 yards off receivers and the poor tackling). The culmination of all these problems results in a not so good team. If this team was just a bad team and wasn’t capable of playing better then it would be different. The top recruits are there but just need direction.

So take your man crush on Tebow and put on Blue and Orange next week, so you can finally be happy.

Samoan, Staffsuup, Junkyard34, Stephen and Matt in Ashburn (laughing my a** off, abrevs. don’t do justice), keep the faith and spread it around. Young, young, young we are. All WILL be fine. No excuses, just the truth. RobDawg - just curious, how old are you? GO DAWGS!!!

I said I was through, but I guess robwhiner06 has changed my mind. Regarding your quote, “I’m just a Dawg fan that says what most fans think but are too scared to say, the truth.” Don’t you DARE speak for me or most Dawg fans. I am not scared to say anything…such as you really need to get a life and quit being such a smug know it all.

Your mention of Herschel makes me wonder also: bet if you had been a “fan” (a word of which you really don’t know the meaning of) then, you would have found fault with him also.

I don’t think CMR or the other coaches are perfect. But I know they know a heck of a lot more than you and 95% of the other whiners on this board…including our dear Mr. King.

I’m serving my country in the US Air Force and I’m stationed in Shreveport, LA. I would love to see some DAWGS out here to win some Independence!

Here’s what I think (satire): At the half of the UT game, CMR and staff began looking to FL. The half time adjustments were geared toward stopping Tebow, not the passing game of Ainge. From there it was practicing, planning and continuing to look at FL, not VANDY or MS ST.. So, in using this twisted logic, UGA STUFFS GATORS. (satire)

UGA will lose the rest of the games this season. Now Richt will earn that salary. We will see if his recruiting can win again at uga

I think it’s fair to say that the majority of us were guessing on an 8-4 year, MAYBE 9-3. Most of us were figuring those 4 would be Tenn, Fla. Auburn, and probably S.C. I think most of you would say that you were pretty nervous about going into Spurrier’s house. However, I don’t think any of us were expecting to play as poorly as we have and have scares against Colorado, Ole Miss, and MSU and lose to Vandy!! We blew a 17 point lead against Tenn. We’re lucky we’re not 2-5 but really we SHOULD be 7-0 going into Fla. Mind you it would be an ugly 7-0. The point is we expected to lose a few but not look this inept every Saturday.

Well, it is a transitional year. The team needs work. Some years it is just that way. I commend Mark Richt on giving older players a fair shot, not just writing them off and going with the young guys. I reckon those palyers are learning some valuable lessons in humility. I wish I could say the same for us, the fans. Shame on dawg fans for booing our own players. It makes me embarrassed to be a fan! Let’s get behind our team and help them dig down deep for sixty against UF!!!!

I wish you would stop saying such mean things about each other and about our special dawg team. We should all hold hands and “sing cum by yall” and then roast marshmellows and sing camp fire songs together. Look at it from the sunny side: the good news is that if our dawgs keep loosing, the ticket prices will come down.

I believe that Mark Richt is doing a great job with the team that he has this year. Richt only puts the team in situations for them to make a play. With the amount of dropped balls by the receivers and the lack of experience at line, one can only press buttons from the sideline. So back off of Richt and let’s look at why we have be making mistakes. When a player fumbles in a key situation it is not on the coach. The coach does not play one down. he only calls the plays. The only problem I have had with Richt has been the conservative style of play calling in tight games. You have to take some chances and roll the dice soemtime. But other than that Richt is the best man for the UGA job. Now let’s get Stafford some protection and make some plays. We have had a line problem since last year but it was not as noticeable when D.J was there because he was mobile. For Stafford to be affective he will have to have some time to make his reads.
