You got to play 60 minutes and not 20. Turnovers, penalties, lack of fire at the start, lack of concentration, no heart. Georgia stinks!!! 6-6 will be the record. The Dogs have won for the last time this year. Please don’t go to a bowl game at 6-6.

As a Bulldog fan, I am pleasantly surprised we were this close. The penalty called was wrong, but did not change the game. Florida is a better football team right now… to many mistakes by UGA. I think this has been good experience for Stafford. Maybe the Dogs will win 1-2 more. I hope we can beat UK and the experience that Stafford is getting gives him a chance to knock off GT at the end of the season.

The face-mask call was bull, but UGA blew it with all the turnovers. Kelin Johnson made an incredibly boneheaded play when he backed into the punt and gave Florida the ball when the momentum was tilting in UGA’s favor. Like all losses to the Gators, this one is really tough to swallow.

We didnt lose to FL today…we lost to the officials. No calls on FL for Pass interference, a BS facemask call, both early touchdowns for florida were clearly fumbles at the goal line. This is terrible. GET THE GAME OUT OF JACKSONVILLE!!!!! Not to mention the UF fumble in the 4th qtr that UGA recovered, but mysteriously the Florida player was down.

No excuses, We lost, 5 turnovers… besides that we played well, but this was horrible officiating crew I can remember. So many controversial calls that went FL’s way. The whole game, calls, calls, calls. Pass interference on Mo-Mass all drive. Nelson was mugging our receivers. They were holding every play, block in the back on returns—no call. Etc. etc.

Tell MR to take Stafford and Milner along with him to Miami and dont look back. HE refuses to give the other QB’s an equal shot to win but always is quick to blame the receivers when the balls are behind the receivers or when he throws Int’s like there is no tomorrow. I mean look at the picks that he throws but we cant send in another qb. He is not fair and his playcalling is very questionable. He blew the UF game last year and also the WV game when everyone knew they would not punt except MR and his staff. Our offense lookds just like the FSu and UM offense (non-existent). Ride out Richt and dont forget to take your so called wonderboy QB and never ever catching TE.

You dumb half bred Georgia fans are going to try and say you would have won the game if it weren’t for the face mask call.

Maybe you should try reading the rules… a face mask is not only the front guard, but also includes interference to a players chin strap and/or face. There is no question it was a face mask!

Man if Stafford and Tebow were the top 2 QB’s in high school last year then I am sure my Junior High team could have had some top prospects. Stafford is does not compare to Eric Zier shoot for that matter Preston Jones looked better than he has shown. After 8 games you are no longer a Frosh so why he still throwing behind receivers and straight to defenders. Give Barnes and Cox a fair shot. A fair shot is nto much to ask for since Stafford is always given the benefit of blaiming a receiver but lets be honest. Some of his passes could nto be caught by Jerry Rice and Bilenikoft

Personally, I think UGA played an adequate game today. However, the facemask penalty was bad but UGA put itself in bad situations all day. Stafford did show the Bulldog nation something as they played pretty tough today. Next year should be alot better….Keep the faith Dog Fans, we will get better, hopefully having some WR’s that can catch the ball…

When will the officals stop changing the outcome of the game. Unlike when Steve Spurrier complanied after the USC game, I think that our last offensive driver and Fla’s last offensive drive alone were cause to think something was up. I mean the officials can catch a totally bogus facemask, but blow two pass interference calls. Also, the TV showed at one point Nelson taking out Milner in the endzone away from the ball…tell me why that is not a penalty. The SEC is so desperate to get someone a chance to play in the title game, they can’t have Fla lose again. Let them play the game refs, not make stupid calls.

I’m proud of the Dawgs, turnovers and dropped passes and bad blocks and everything else. They showed heart. Yeah, got disgusted w/ Milner. He shouldn’t start again. He showed that. And MoMass shouldn’t either. Not this season.

Defense played well. Stafford again showed signs of brilliance—-and signs of youth and inexperience. A little help from Milner and the O-line and Stafford would have been fine.

facemask???? youve got to be kidding me?? did you see the replay, what a crock… well doesnt matter anyway, if our boys would play for 60 minutes instead of 25, then the stupid bad call wouldnt have made a difference. 5 turnovers and we still were in the game??? Is FL that bad or are we not as bad as we think? My grandmother passed away 10 years ago and I think she could have caught more balls than freakin Milner. I told myself after the Vandy loss not to get emotionaly involved the GA FLA game this year, that win or lose I wouldnt let it effect my attitude for the next several days/weeks. But doggone if those boys didnt go and give me a ray of sunshine to put my hopes and dreams on, a glint of hope in an otherwise sea of disapointment.. I mean the DAWGS actually showed up halfway through the 3rd quarter and made me really beleive again, I got that feeling that majic was about to happen, just get the bal back, just hold them on this 3rd down, and by god we held them, and Im thinking…here we go! why didnt I fly down for this game… and then wait, a flag a crappy call, a nail in the coffin……….and instead I sit here far from home with only 6 more beers to help take the edge off…..

Larry Coker call MR and tell him to ride out along with his playbook and wonderless QB. He can take his TE also. Can someone tell him that to throw the ball out of bounds is not a hard thing to to. Just a flip of the wrist will do it. Give Barnes a shot and also Cox a true shot. Stafford gets afforded the opp to keep throwing picks and then MR blames the team but not the QB.Maybe the line has problems and receivers drop some balls but what about the balls behind the receivers or thrown to defenders or to the ground with receivers wide open. I am not impressed with the QB and the playcalling.

Please fire your defensive coordinator and get the family friend’s son out of the QB position.

We are losing recruit after recruit while Stafford is in there turning the ball over every week.

Can someone tell me this kids TD to INT ratio, plus the fact that he has NO touch on the ball. People say GREAT GAME when our QB goes 13-33 with 0 TD’s and 2 DUMB INT’s.

Put JoeT III in there or even Cox (if he is still going to stay at GA). Stafford is not a bright kid, but Cox is - you have to think of that for the future instead of doing favors to old family friends Mark Richt!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, word up here in Charlotte (Cox’s home town) this week - again Cox is going to be transferring away from UGA. That’s too bad when he is the best of the 3 QB’s AND has the INTELLIGENCE to have the most potential.

Lumpkin, much as I love him, should not be in the line-up to start the 2nd half again. Defense has no fire. Florida was giving this game away despite 5 UGA turnovers and the dawgs didn’t have the fight or the stones to take it. This team is not very physical. Poor play-calling again.

QC threw for 300 yards on UF so when is he going ot stop looking like Mark Brunnell and look like Peyton Manning. Mel Kiper is really off. Look at all the top QB’s that have come into college and see their stats. DG stats looked nothing like MS even Brady Quinn had better stats running TW conservative offense.

Nobody wanted UGA to win this game more than me. That being said, congrats to UF. They made enough plays and limited their mistakes enough to win.

Martinez did a good job with the D today and you’ve got to tip your hat to Matt. The true freshman played as hard as anyone on that field and never gave up. He came up a bit short today, but the future of the offense with him at the helm looks bright.

After watching MoMass and Milner today, I was reminded of T. Edwards and well, I guess Milner again dropping big passes in this game in past years. Lumpkin’s fumble at the beginning of the 2nd half didn’t help either. I don’t remember Hines Ward or Larry Brown dropping big passes in this game. If I recall, they made some pretty big ones. And we all know what Robert Edwards did against UF.

It’s another 365 days until we get another crack at these guys, but it’ll be a good one.

As for losing the recruits….we may lose a few for the 2007 class that are borderline. The past 2 classes will all be coming together next year and will have a better season. Which in turn will limit the damage of losing future recruits. I guarentee CMR will have a quarterback ready and in place the next time we graduate a star quarterback.

Good point NC Dawg. Stafford doesnt have any touch and cant read a defense to save his life. That play to Goodman was a sure TD but Mr. Cannon arm overthrew the ball. I think he is like Mark Wohlers. More worried about the radar gun than the results. I hate to get on this kid cause he is only 18 but hey this is big time football and money talks and BS walks. If the heat is to hot then get out of the kitchen. Richt you have been exposed and lucky for you that you dont have any black QB’s on your team because you would be accused of racism the way you handle the Stafford situation. No one is calling MR a racist cause we all know he isnt but make the other QB’s black and now what do you have. If Stafford had come out and looked like Zeir did then we would not care but when Stafford keeps the job but makes dumb mistakes but insert Cox ot JoeT and they make the same play then they are sitting on the bench.

If you didn’t see Stafford’s potential out there not sure what game you were watching. Yeah QC threw for 300 yards. Very impressive. And the score was 7-38. Zier also lost by 4 touchdowns too. And they actually had receivers who could occaisionally catch the ball. I am sure Richt is playing the QB that he thinks gives him the best chance of winning. I agree; you don’t and that is fine. But to think that MR would play a kid because his dad is a friend of the family at the risk of losing, your crazy.

Martrez killed us and needs to be benched for what appears to be a lack of concentration or fear of being hit. ugh..

Start a campaign to bring back Donnan or Goff. That should make you feel better. Nobody wants to beat Florida more than MR does, but you want to give away the two SEC titles?? By your logic, all the other SEC schools should have fired their coaches last year since they did not win the championship. Fulmer hasn’t won one since 98 and Spurrier since 2000. That would lend stability to the program wouldn’t it? As a matter of fact, why don’t you start a campaign for yourself to replace Richt? I am sure you would bring back the glory.

I feel good about the future against the gaytors though because this is as lopsided a mismatch as they can hope for against UGA and they struggled. We have a long way to go.

Well lets see Corey. Cox has produced a game winning drive for that matter 2 drives. Stafford is a big Dumb Texan just like the one On Pennsylvania Ave. Facts are facts. Stafford has no touch on the ball. Cox has better touch but maybe not he cannon. Cannons dont win championships. Do you think that he can sit down and read defenses with Manning. Shoot Stafford makes Vick look like the second coming of Marino. Name that play that Cox has done that has you oozing. Exactly. Try not to think that Stafford was a highly rated recruit but look at the stats during the game and tell me what you would think. NO receivers go out and try to drop passes but maybe when you try to see how hard you can throw the ball. Maybe he should have been redshirted and let Bobo work with him some more. Bobo was unrefined when he got to UGA but he blossomed into a prety good QB. In time Stafford could be good but right now he should not be on the field and we all know that and if you dont then you se just as clear as Stevie Wonder.

We played better than I thought we would.

I have to give it to Martinez. I have harped on him, but we finally looked like we had a game plan. Great job for the defense.

Stafford showed that he is going to be a fine QB. I have never seen a school that has the receiving corps we do, year after year. Unbelievable that we have this many drops on easy passes.

Richt finally discovered that there is space down the field fro receivers. It sure was nice to see the ball go toward the other goal line rather than the sideline.

To the official that called the pass interference early in the dame where there was no contact: I hope that you enjoyed that call. You should lose your job for being a homer.

My question on the facemask call: Since when do you mark it off from where the play started? Shouldn’t it be marked from the spot of the foul? He lost several yards, it wouldn’t have been a first down. Is that really the rule or did the officials make it up to keep FL in the National Championship chase? If he had gained five, they would’ve added it to the end. On sacks, they mark it off from the spot of the foul. I have never seen it applied like that. Someone check the rule book.

You mutt fans can complain about the face mask call all you like. Then, rewind the tape and look at the phantom block-in-the-back call that eliminated Brandon James’ punt return for a touchdown earlier in the game. The mutt player intentionally fell in front of the Gator player. Face it puppies, the Gators own you! Only two wins in the last 17 games? You should try to schedule an easier opponent. I can’t wait til you lose to GT next month!

Anyone watching this game who has ever coached saw two different teams in this game. TGhe first half, we were totally intimidated and played like freshmen. Second half, outside of the opening turnover, we played like an experienced team. Without the stupid turnovers, which is a youth thing, we win this game. There’s a helluvalot of potential on this team, give em a chance to grow up.

By the way, the kids playing today will not soon forget the taunting and stupid crap that Florida pulled during the opening of the game. They shoulda been flagged, but the game was in the officiating crew’s pocket. To hell with all of them. Tebow is way overhyped and wont finish a single season that he STARTS. He’ll get banged up and lose too many balls, and he won’t be the savior FLA is looking for. UGA wins next year, and every year after that for a good, long while. We’re the crappiest we’ve been in seven years and almost pulled it out against this Florida team, which is full of seniors. Quit kidding yourselves Florida fans, Spurrier is never coming back.

F* you Florida, and f* the refs.

Dear Willie, at the risk of being brash, may I make a suggestion? It is very difficult to sack the QB unless you actually guard the receiver. No kidding. See, if your db’s are 15-20 yards off the receivers and standing there like statues(called a zone defense) the receivers will just run in between them and the QB will throw the ball to them before he gets sacked. You may have picked up this defense from watching the pro’s run a “prevent” defense when they have a big lead at the end of the game. Well, good luck against the Wildcats.

Midniterider,

Obviously I have been watching Georgia football a lot longer than you have. More importantly, I have been paying attention which is something you clearly have not done.
So you are going to blame Richt for the fact that Arkansas beat LSU on a last second play to advance to the title game in 02?? So Bama should have been in the game??? Did you conveniently forget that Georgia beat Bama that year in Tuscaloosa in the “Man Enough” game??????? You are a real smart guy aren’t you? We won the Arkansas game 34-3 and didn’t back into anything. Yeah, we lost to LSU in 03, but even that was better than we had done in the previous 10 years of SEC Championship games. Yes, we got help last year when Carolina beat the Gators, but if it had not been for the phantom call against Vandy in Gainesville we would not have needed that either. You seem to forget how badly we beat the favored LSU team last year. You my friend are clueless.

To go on the road with a freshman QB and play a top 25 team that close is no small accomplishment. Definitely a step up from losing to Vandy and barely beating Mississippi State at home.

Dewan, I’m a little confused. Are you for Cox or Stafford? Because Cox just doesnt have what it takes to compete in the SEC. He is not tall enough to see over the offensive line and doesnt have the arm strength to make the right throws. I like his heart, but sometimes heart is not going to get you past the most top talented teams in the country especially if you dont have much talent to begin with. Also, name me a quarterback in the game today who can read defenses as good as Manning, because it sure as hell isnt Cox, Stafford, or Joe T.

Obviously Corey did not read my blog or he would know that I said Cox or Barnes shold not be black. Hate all you want but the stats dont lie and that is that Stafford is really not good. JT3 and Cox play behind the same line with the same receivers but they dont throw that many Int’s. Stafford is not Zeir or Carter and if you dare say he is then please go hang out with Karr cause you are disilusional. Staford cannot read a defense and any person that has played football knows that. For you all to say he is the best QB to come through the dors at UGA then really you are blind. Zeir without a doubt is the most talented QB (no offense to Frank Sinkwich) to come through the UGA doors and then you have to add in QC and DG and because of lack of PT then you add in Shock. Again stats dont lie. How can Richt not blame Staffor for his INt’s. Please tell me who is to blame? Now if you say well if the receiver had caught the ball the preious play then he would not have had to make that play then what about when the lineman picks up the blitz even thought the QB gave the wrong play call or the receiver stretched out for the ball that was overthrown. I am not a fan of Joe T but hey he gives us a better chance than Staff.

For you Stafford fans please remember that he lost to Vandy. That is an insult to all GUA fans to lose to Vandy and you play the entire game and cant put up points. Staffors also put up exactly 0 points on the Buffs while Joe C put up 14. Nuff said. Bring back Van Gorder or let Bobo be the coach.

Guys, we can’t blame the loss on the bad call even though it was a bad call. The Lumpkin turnover ultimately decided the outcome. Note that Florida’s offense did not score in the second half and we still did not win the game. I can’t understand why our guys continue to drop passes? What is the problem? Maybe pinetar(i.e. Kenny Rogers) will help. Maybe pine period(get them on the bench) will help. I know that we have a young quarterback and our receivers have to help him. He was pressured all day by a good Florida defense(our offensive line is sad) so some of his throws were hurried. Florida was able to win under Spurrier because they had athletic receivers who could go and get the ball. Some of their quarterbacks were not great but the receivers could get to the ball and make the catch. I am hoping that we continue to work on catch techniques. The defensive looked like the defense of a few years ago(i.e. VanGorder years). Another lose today suffered by GSU(fans not happy with VanGorder). I have reassured several that UGA will take VanGorder back if they don’t want him. I am not sure if he can coach an entire team but he could coach defense. Guys, let’s give our defense some credit for a good game. They only gave up 14 points. Stafford’s experiences now will pay dividends in the future. I am willing to have a decent season for some future SEC and hopefully National Championship games. Go Dogs!!!!!!

I always wondered why he played, I am glad you cleared that up. Zier was the real deal and if you sit tight, I gaurentee you that Stafford will break every one of his records.

I have not said anyting negative about Cox because he can make the throws to win the game and no none of these QB’are Manning but come one SEC football is to good to have a QB make mistake after mistake but he keeps the job. Lets go to a what if. If the Ol BalCoach was the Coach at UGA would Stafford still be the QB. And no you cant say well he would be coached better (LOL). Spurrier or Fulmer would bench a Qb and so would the other top coaches in the SEC. Now if UGA was Vandy, UK, Ole Miss, etc.. then yeah he can keepo his job but this is unacceptable for SEC play.

The Georgia players obviously don’t care about playing well; so why should we fans give a damn anymore?

Defensive, Offensive Line and Special Team coaching is horrible; and Richt apparently can’t get his team to learn, concentrate or to care. Keep Richt (for maybe one more year) and get rid of the rest of those pretenders.

Maybe next year; but these dawgs aren’t worth caring about.

The only bad call was the early (and totally bogus) interference call that helped Florida score its first touchdown.

No QB could look good behind that O line and with those receivers. That has to be the #1 issue addressed in the off season. Obviously, CMR cannot handle the play calling as well as being the head coach. Defense was OK today, but still there doesn’t seem to be any fire or intensity. CMR has to evaluate his program and decide what he wants out of this program. Donnan was fired for losing to Tenn. & UF but he didn’t lose @ home to Vanderbilt.

First, my congratulations to UF for the win. Although it was a tough loss, I was somewhat encouraged. For the first time in the past three or four weeks, the defense showed some fire. We still have problems with turnovers. We cannot give up 5 turnovers against a team like Florida and expect to win. Without the turnovers against Tennessee we would have defeated them. I wonder if that loss hurt the dawgs’ confidence more than we realize. Although Stafford made some youthful mistakes, he is getting valuable experience in real-game situations and that will pay off in the future. Surely we have some young tight ends who can catch Stafford’s passes. I hate to say this but I won’t be sorry to see Martrez Milner go. I hope the coaching staff recruits a lot of offensive linemen this winter. In the end a loss is a loss, whether by 1 point or by 50. Unlike some fans, I’m NOT happy that we lost to Florida by “only” 7 points. “Moral Victories” do not show up in the win column.

This was the first time in a long time that we Ga actually showed some emotion. We are gaining experience and I was happy to see the defense actually having some success in the second half. The defense finally started to lay down some hard hits.

This was extremely valuable experience for Stafford and the future is going to be good. The dropped passes are unreal. I have to agree that both the MM’s looked tentative and scared to catch the ball. This has been a constant killer for us. Obviously we are missing a game breaking receiver (much less one that can catch the ball). We need to try to bring in a receiver that has the talent level of a Percy Harvin. This coupled with Stafford would take us to a whole new level. We have been missing this type of threat for a long time. In the past there have been some players that seemed like they would live up to this (i.e., gibson) but it never pans out. Watching the game tonight you could tell how much more open Fl playbook was with the threat of Harvin and for that matter Caldwell. We simply don’t have a threat we can just flip the ball to on a reverse and make a huge play. Every time Harvin touched the ball in the first half it seemed like he could break it for a touchdown.

All in all, there was much improvement and I think that we will build on this confidence throughout the rest of the year and into the next season.

Most of you didn’t see the same game I did. I’m not getting on players but the idiots on here. Stafford had a terrible game. Two terrible INTs. A critical fumble by holding the ball out to the side in traffic. He has terrible pocket presence by having no idea when someone is behind him. That said he is a freshman, doing the best he can and hopefully, he will be great. But, I cannot understand why he gets a pass that the other QBs do not get. He overthrew a TD. Two passes to MM were obvious misses, but two others were not catchable. He made an unbelieveable effort to almost bring in a pass over his head and behind him with one hand and he gets criticized for not making the catch.

Same scenario with any of the other QBs and he would have been benched and someone else given a chance.

As a Bulldog follower, I think it is time to get back to recruiting early and look for real talented wide recievers and tight ends. It is allot to blame from bad play calling. But one thing sticks out the most. TURNOVERS, yea I said it starting a freshman quarterback and using three running backs a game. Where is the faith in the team. It is sad when your fullback is your best running back and the best wide receiver. 9 interceptions in 5 games, put this guy back on the bench…..Let seniors play that have the experience. Go back and look when COACH MARK blew the GAME AGAINST GT ON THE ONE YARD LINE. If you look into the DAWGS needs a real offensive coordinator that can call offensive plays. Not a Head Coach that cause plays when the game is on the line. This is a disappointing season and I agree that it is time to rebuild. Please don’t put the seniors through anymore pain…..CAn we atleast GT on the last game of the season.

Alot of UGA fans will no doubt once again say how great Stafford looked..while completing 39% of his throws, 2 picks, zero TDs, and 1 fumble.

I really would like it if he would show that his is the real deal but to thiws point he has not showed it but neither has anyone else. MR needs to look at his playcalling and see whats wrong. If you are a top rated recruit at the skil position would you come to an offense that has not imagination?

Come on fans, give the team a break! We have been spoiled by four great years. I would be happy to take four good years for one down year. We’ll be back next year with a bunch of guys that have experiences they can build upon.

The team is in the process of rebuilding and I trust Mark will continue with what he has done in the past. Lets be supportive of our young team and watch them grow. Go Dawgs!

Kudos should be given out to UGA for not being complete morons when Tebow comes into the game. I wanted to shoot myself in the face when I watched the games against Alabama, LSU and Auburn (this reason and the fact that every game the commentators would tell the story about Tebow calling Urban to tell him where he was going to commit and before doing so Urban’s cell phone died was enough to want to throw up). When he’d come into the game and when he ran the QB draw, they’d look completey confused. I’m still curious to why it took so long for teams to crowd the line when he comes into the game.

Thinking back to when UGA was good. Let’s see, Jimmy Carter was not a total crackpot, I-285 did not take 24 hrs to make complete loop, bad UGA teams beat good UF teams (think 1985), Biff Pocoroba was a ballplayer not a trivia question. I could go on and on. Times change. Wow, things are so bad they are now saying UF actually won that disputed game in 1904. Dawg fans, Atlanta to Jax to is no picnic even without road construction, but after that effort, it is going to seem like your driving to Seattle by the time you get home tomorrow. Is there anything left to salvage? Yes. Ebay still has plenty of JT2 and JT3 jerseys for your holiday shopping needs.

Since when did the coaches say Barnes sucked?! How about the first fall scrimmage when Coach Richt said, “uh, I can’t think of any thing that Barnes did wrong?” And in the second fall scrimmage, Joe T. was the best followed by Barnes and Cox. Stafford was the worst. As for a family friend of Coach Richt’s, I’ve missed that connection - fill me in. I have been told that Stafford’s Dad said he is staying at the Butts’ lake house for the games - no need for a hotel room.

And yes, I think Dewan is right, give other QB’s a chance. This is ridiculous. I thought Stafford was supposed to be good enough to help us win…this year! But, now we’ve all given up and simply look forward to 2007 and watching Stafford practice on the field?

No coach in his right mind would ignore the gifts Staford has.It’s not how far he can throw it but that he can throw a tight spiral on a flat trajectory 40 yards and he shows excellent intangibles.Some starting qbs in the nfl would kill for that.It’s not unusual for singularly gifted athletes to struggle early,and not all reach their potential,but giving up on him based on a few mistakes,that would be absolutely STUPID!!!!!

If Stafford is our future QB we are in DEEP trouble. He has doubled is int to td ratio. He has no talent. He and MR must be a***** buddies in the truest sense of the word. Milner should be benched for rest of year. He couldn’t catch a gold standing in the rain he is really bad, but he has hope Falcons will sign him he catches like thier WR do now.

The best team won, but man, I would have loved to get the ball back to Stafford for one more go at it. That is what is disappointing about the facemask call. Yea, he called it and technically it was the right call, but that doesn’t make it a “good” call. Refs have to use judgement all day, and I think he could have just as easily not called it, particularly in the circumstances. It seemed to me that the refs were inconsistent. To call interference on the first deep pass and then not call another one is sort of ludicrous. Because if that first call is what constitutes “interference”, then tell me how in the heck pulling MM’s jersey is not interference. Tell me how Reggie Nelson aka, Mr. Cheap Shot, taking our tight end out of the play before the 4th qtr interception is not interference. I don’t care how they call it, just be consistent and don’t sort of make it up as you go along…

No, I was NEVER a Stafford supporter. I still don’t understand why he wasn’t redshirted and concentration and coach support given to the older quarterbacks. You have until the 4th game to decide whether to redshirt or not. Making it a 4 man competition undermined the team - it has NOT paid off. SHould have spent that time getting our top quarterbacks ready. I do think Stafford will be good - one day, but pushing the others aside to try to force that “one day” to today is unwise. Very political - nothing else makes sense. Nothing.

Memo to Dewan…don’t give up your day job at McDonalds because you don’t know s** about football. I doubt you could graduate from Ft. Valley much less the sacred grounds of Athens. The line sucked royally today and there were at least 7 dropped passes today. It’s obvious to most fans that Cox does not have the size to play in this league. Stafford made a bad play in the 4th when he tried to throw away that pass. The rest of the day he played tough. Add the 7 or 8 drops and see where is numbers are? Mo Mass at a TD opportunity, but heard footsteps. Our defense finally showed up in the 2nd half, but they looked like slice butter the first 3 drives. The turnovers killed us, especially the Lumpkin fumble. Like most of the Florida losses, we had our chances and it came down to 3 or 4 plays again this year. Obviously, we are not as bad as we thought, or UF is not as good. Stafford played as good or better than Leak today. The defense finally hit today like we knew they were capable of hitting. The real test comes next week….can Willie get the defense up for UK? I am really disappointed we don’t have another TE better than Martinez. There are at least 2 or 3 others that have not seen the field this year. We can beat UK and have a shot against Tech if Calvin gets hurt. Overall, the team looked like they improved some today.

This was the best game I have seen the Bulldogs play all year. I now have hopes for the last three games. I think Stafford, although just a freshman played much better than the two Florida quarterbacks, I also can see a big improvement each week he plays. There are still some mistakes but they will improve with time.

Bryant and Goodman are good players but not game breakers. I seriously doubt Fl wasted anytime drawing up schemes for how to contain those two (and not because they don’t get the ball enough). Whereas we certainly had to prepare for Harvin. I don’t think anyone from Fl would have held there breath on a Bryant or Goodman reverse. In that first drive we had no idea what the hell Fl was going to throw at us because they were utilizing all of their threats. Our playbook is confined because we don’t have that same type of threat. Instead we are limited to the sprint draw (which lost its spontaneity a long time ago) (evidenced perfectly by the fumble following halftime where Fl was in the backfield w/out even being touched by our o-line). The difference is obvious and has been for many years. We lack the game breaking receivers. Hopefully Troupe will be able to make a contribution next year.

Anyone calling for Stafford to be benched is ridiculous (just ask Vols Fans). The QB limbo is over. Stafford is the most talented and he is learning fast. Granted his numbers have not been phenomenal but he has shown poise and improvement (i.e., reading the Fl defense and running in for a TD). He gives us the best chance to win now and in the future. I was happy to see MR stand up for Stafford in the halftime interview and show some confidence and resolve. This is what we need, the team is begining to find rythym because of this.

Some of these blogs are far to negative. Granted a loss is never a good thing. But we played ten times better than our last 3 games. There has been significant improvement and it is showing. People need to realize the cyclical nature of college football. We had 4 very succesful years and now we are having a subpar season. How many programs can you name that have gone 4 or 5 seasons playing on the level we did and not experience at least one subpar season following the run. Have a little faith.

UGA Football:

The team: “Richt doesn’t rebuild, he reloads”. -from one of the TV commentators, who RARELY are UGA fans

The Coach: ~76% winning percentage in 5 years at UGA. It is NICE to be in a position where even 1 loss is a nightmare, and 4 is HELL ON EARTH. Remember the 90s???

The fans: “UGA fans will buy when they’re winning or losing. Other fans only buy when their team is winning.” - a local (Albany Area) Collegiate Store owner

Together: Ladies and Gents, we got the best school in the Southeast, bar none. Yes, losses on the football field are tough, but they still give us something to talk about. Nobody gets killed, its all in good - hopefully clean - fun, and we get to have another stab next year.

Can we put one of our talented running backs at tightend or receiver so that we have at least one person who will go up and CATCH a ball. We have three outstanding running backs and two are always on the sideline watching our tightend and receivers drop balls when they are in a crowd of defenders (footballs too). What about Joe T., he may not be a starting QB, but he would be a better tightend than what we have, then move Ware out to a X or Z.

Rict can say what he wants, but for the money he is getting and the top prospects we have been getting, we shouldn’t be loosing games with turnovers, dropped balls, and blown assignments. Youth, inexperience, injuries—those you can’t control, the others you can!

Defense, you’ve been hanging in there game after game. God bless, even when the offense does everything it can to help the other team win. Stafford, not a bad job. Improving daily. We need receivers to step up and a tightend that will be consistent at this level.

And, why do we play up or down to our competetition. GA could play a high school team and they’d win 21 to 14. Then, they play a top ten team and win or loose by a touchdown or less. We do not have the mindset that we should be whipping everyone we play when we walk on the field. We should be beating bad teams 45-0, but we hang in there with them even when they are a IAA school. Why aren’t we setting higher goals as an offensive unit!

Now all I tell’um is “wait ‘till next year!” Sure wish the coaching staff would give a little history lesson so we could beat these clowns. We have been a superior team the last 4 or 5 years,”not counting this year” still lost. Whatever needs to be done to light a fire under there butts, should be done! I am very dissapointed in this team this year. They lack fundamentals, leaders on the field, and chemisty. I don’t think mearly not putting some of these guys on the starting roster is enough. Let them sit a game or two and find out if they have enough character to even wear that uniform. Tough love does’nt always work but, it sure as heck will get there attention! They seem to lack focus on game day. There is no reason to simple blame inexperiance for dumb mistakes they have played 8 games now and shown little improvement. Big drops have become the norm. This is bad if you have’nt fiqured that out by now. I don’t care what kind of upside a kid has if he throws 4 TDs and 5 picks per game. That is not acceptible. Who’s lost the recievers or the QB? Something the coaches are doing is not getting through. There are to many good players on the field to look this bad week in and week out. Just some observations not bashing just things that jump out at me. MR will pull it together just not this season. The kind of changes that need to be made will have to wait on next season.

(2 QB systems dont work, SEE DJ/DG, SEE Clausen, Ainge) Hey you know why MR is not on here posting and we are, because we are all spoiled idiot fans and he makes $2 million a year coaching football and he does a darn good job of it. UGA went thru the late 80s and all of the 90s as a team that was STUCK at 3rd in the EAST at best, UGA gets a great coach (2 SEC TITLES, TOP 5 RECRUITING CLASSES, and has one bad year and you want to fire him? YEAH, I would say that is idiotic. GO DAWGS SEC CHAMPS IN 08!!!

The refs missed a few calls. The gators did not called for holding they committed against the best pair of defensive ends in the SEC. I saw a clear cut pass interference on a pass late in the game when the receiver had his jersey was clearly grabbed and the pass would have been catchable if he was’t held but the refs clearly missed it. TV did not. At first I thought it was a clear face mask but the replay told me the refs completely missed the call. Georgia would get the ball back with 2 and a half minutes left with a chance to win the game. I am not taking away from the gators but the refs saved them by not throwing flags against Florida. Stafford is the best quarterback on the roster and he will be the starter if he stays healthy. Florida won with the help from the refs and they know it. I wonder if Florida would have won if the refs called the holding penalties, the pass interference and the biggest mistake by refs had not called the face mask. We will not know. Maybe next year the refs will not be intimidated by the gators and will call the game down the middle. Tebow has to improve his passing if he wants to win SEC games. The defenses like we saw here will stop him and the gator runing game. Florida your win in my opinion was not won fair and square. The SEC should evaluate the officating and correct them.

I, for the life of me, can’t figure out which is hurting us more, Martinez or Milner. One can’t catch a pass that hits him in the hands, the other can’t stop a pass or run? These Pups can’t shed blockers, penetrate on either side of the line or play with a ferocious sense of tenacity. This is not Richt’s problem, but one level below.

Let’s say that the face mask call was wrong. It wasn’t the refs fault that your recievers can’t catch a cold. It wasn’t the refs fault that UGA gift wrapped a TD on your 1st play from scrimmage in the 2nd half. Are you going to blame that on the refs too?

I have a few suggestions for Coach Richt. 1. Fire the O-line coach(blocking scheme is too soft. Auburn,UT NEVER seem to have problems up front). 2.Get receivers w/GUTS(enough said). Have the sack to bench guys for poor play(Joe T. was garbage from the beginning but more attention was paid to his lineage than his actual TALENT/lack of to cover that up). Finally, play w/more urgency/passion(this game has seemed to mean more to UF than UGA lately). I’ll ALWAYS love my Dawgs but we simply weren’t that good this year. Smoke & mirroring will only get you so far.”Wait til’ next year”has gotten really OLD in regards to this game. Just some food for thought. GO DAWGS!!

I don’t know why everybody is complaining about the officiating. If you touch a player’s facemask incidentally, it is what is known as an “incidental facemask” YOU FCUKING GEORGIA DOUCHEBAGS!!!!! For those of you with an edu-ma-kayshun from UGA: Main Entry: in·ci·den·tal Pronunciation: “in(t)-s&-‘den-t&l Function: adjective 1 a : being likely to ensue as a chance or minor consequence b : MINOR 1 2 : occurring merely by chance or without intention or calculation

And, if you are going to say that a single facemask call cost you the game, take a look at your 5 turnovers.

Time go get out of Jacksonville I have missed only one GA-Fl game since 1971. There have been some great times in Jacksonville and I never thought I would want the game moved, however the time has come. When Florida has a week off every year and we do not; combined with us having to travel, we are at an unfair advantage. Do you think Florida would agree to a 10 year contract playing us in the Georgia Dome every year, we have a week off to prepare, and they have to play an SEC game the week before? We could split the tickets 50-50. That is essentially the deal we have in Jacksonville. My limited vocabulary does not allow me to adequately describe my distaste for Michael Adams, however, this would be a good time for him to pull one of his power plays and cancel our contract in Jacksonville effective immediately.

Well, all and all, I think we played well. Lets be realistic, our season was over 2 weeks ago, so lets just call this season what it is, a building season for Stafford, and that offensive line. There were a lot of missed calls, but I still don’t think we would have won the game. We are still struggling with the turnover bug, and that right there takes you right out of the game. We need receivers to catch the ball, and running backs to hold on to it. Our defense looks back to form thank god. We still have a few more games left, and hopefully we can continue to improve.

If Florida did not commit 10 penalties, Georgia would not have had a chance. If Georgia’s only two scores were not the result of Gator turnovers both on the Florida side of the field, Georgia would not have had a chance.

Much better performance by the defense! Stafford is going to be great when he gets some help. Yes the officating was bad but clearly UGA was there own worst enemy with drop passes and turnovers. I am not one to turn on a coaching staff that has brought UGA back to the national scene but Eason has got to go. We have had receiver issues ever since he has been there and it continues to get worse. The only reliable receiver we have had has been the tight end and now they stink too!

Are you a Tech fan? Did you not watch the game? Or do you just not know anything about football?

My response to Carter Strickland.

What a negative column! Yes Georgia has had a frustrating season. We have been in a rebuilding mode, and the related slump, that as Dawg fans, we have not seen in a long time. The first half was terrible, the Dawgs struggled with a lack of confidence and a lack of leadership. The second haft was a prelude to better things to come, much better things to come. The dogs became a team and they found their leaders, on both sides of the ball. The defense stepped up to the plate and began to lead the way. They could have very easily given up after the fumble on the 1st play to open the second half, but instead they “hunkered down”.

You foolishly blame Stafford! Stafford did a fine job and came into his on during this game. Have you forgotten that he is just a freshman, because of Mark Richt’s indecision, this was not his team. Saturday, Stafford became the leader and made it his team.

If you are a Dawg supporter, it is time to get off their case. If you are not, it is time to be afraid, be very afraid, especially if you are a Tech fan.

I will be at the Kentucky game next week, it will be terrible to spoil their Homecoming, but; spoil it, we will.

So, good luck with the rest of your schedule and keep out of our blogs if you have nothing nice to say, because your team is not really anything to write home about - 3/4 of the bulldog fans did not go to the university anyway and are not capable of getting into college anywhere anyway……What does a GA fan call a Tech Fan?

Stafford is a great QB and has shown much improvement. We just don’t have many adept WRs, and CMR continues to play Martrez Milner. Milner still getting playing time absolutely defies all logic. MoMass looked better yesterday.

As far as the referees, the Quentin Moses face-mask call was not nearly as egregious as all of the non-calls on Florida’s defenders holding throughout the entire game. The “non-calls” on Florida’s defense were inexcusable.

Overall, I saw more effort from the team, other than Martrez Milner. He does not deserve to wear the red and black.

Also, Willie Martinez has taken a lot of flack from most of us recently, including from me, but my hat’s off to him. He was prepared for UF. He put pressure on Leak (which everyone knew was the key) and effectively shut Tebow down.

Go Dawgs!!! At least I feel like we are now headed in the right direction. We are going to be awesome by next year or the next - if we get more offensive lineman and if CMR will learn not to play guys (Milner) that consistently drop passes (over and over and over and over). Before anybody writes it, I know Milner is a senior, but there may be somebody out there who’s just as bad.

Well Mr. Dawg 61 you are right in some respects. I am a proud black man who is highly educated.

Currently I am serving my nation as a Finance Officer and protecting your ignorant behind. Other than graduating from elementary, high school, college (undergrad), military schools, and currently 3 credits shy of a Masters from the University of South Carolina, I have been a bum of a person. Thanks for you pointing that out. You are a great person and like I said Stafford is another dump TEXAN. Oh yeah, just because you go to Princeton, Yale, etc.., doesn’t make you any smarter than a person that went to Clayton State. Each school has its high performers and low performers and it is up to each person to make their choice. Stop being so hypocritical unless you stand that high and last I checked only God can look down on anyone, cause he sits higher than us.

Richt has not won the big game. Turn it anyway you want too but the fact of the matter is that Coaches at GA get fired for not beating UF, UT, and AU. Based on that then MR should be gone. If you give Spurrier our team do you think we would have lost a game every year. Tressel has a NC at Ohio State and he beat Michigan who he is judged on. Tubervlle has to beat Alabama or he is toast so why do we relax the standards for Richt. So what, we have been in the SEC championship a couple of years but remember UF had Zook who got fired, and UT had Phat Phil who came close to getting fired. Now if we had gone undefeated and beat UF I would give him his props for because he still cant beat the teams he is paid to beat then I think he has to go.

Well Dewan, I congratulate you on all you have accomplished. If God is the only one that can judge why are you calling Bush and Stafford Dumb Texans? Why are you on here running your mouth about getting rid of Coach Richt, who by the way is a much better man of God than your hypocrital self will ever be. They have one bad season and you want to send him down the river. That really sounds like a man of God. If you do not want to be judged then why do you come on here judging? You can’t expect to post comments like you have and not tick someone off. You can spout off about Bush being dumb, and Stafford being dumb, but unless you are put in their shoes and you have to make the decisions they have made then I am not sure where you have the right. I would rather have “Dumb Texans” with guts making decisions anyday. Oh, I wouldn’t be so proud of graduating from GA public schools with a high GPA, not exactly on the top of the educational totem poll.

And while were at it Massaquoi needs to put more effort forward also. Just because he was demoted for this game doesnt mean he has to stop trying.Ans by the way RICHT,I dont know what your love affair with MATTHEW STAFFORD is but that spoiled BRAT is not the answer at quarterback.How about growing a set and quit playing favorites.

For some of you to call yourself Dawg fans is a disgrace. Right there on the bandwagon during the good times, and calling for everyone’s head during the bad. Mark Richt is the same coach who won two conference championships in five years, and with all due respect to Vince Dooley, will finish his coaching career at Georgia as the best in history. Do I like losing? No way, but I’m old enough to understand that it sometimes happens. I’ve seen all of the Georgia teams since the last years of the Wally Butts era, and I can honestly say, I feel the future is much brighter in Athens for years to come. Does the fact that Georgia still leads this series 46-37-2 tell you anything? Obviously there have been periods when Georgia dominated, just as Florida is doing now. The “worm will turn”. If you are that unhappy with a possible 7-5 Georgia season (which would be bad for the Dawgs), jump on the Tech bandwagon where 7-5 is a good season. Bottom line, stick with the Dawgs thru thick and thin, or find yourself another “winner” to cheer for. Dawg Nation doesn’t need you.

Any loss is tough. Georgia came out in the second half and put a scare in Florida. They did not give up. I am very proud of that. The defense played better than they have since the first half of the Tennessee game. Way to go guys! The offense was not overwhelming. There were several dropped passes. A few are always expected. There were some mistakes, but they looked better against a better defense. For a few plays even I forgot Stafford was a freshman who is learning a new system. He really has some zing on that ball! There are flashes and the flashes are getting bigger and starting to fill in the gaps between. They are developing. I was looking at the AJC’s slideshow with Mark Richt’s comments on the game. It showed 2 pictures of Stafford walking off the field. One was with his head held low. I thought to myself,”It’s ok. Pretty soon that will be a rariety for the boy.” As for the unrealistic expectations and thunderous opinions of some Georgia “fans”, go be fickle and jump on someone else’s train. Someone is waiting to buy your tickets.

I watched a show last night on what used to be the “GA-FLA” rivalry. It was fun remembering the great Dog victories with Washington to Appleby and Belue to Scott and Dooley anbd Herschel. It is just incredible that we have been beaten so many times now since then. It’s embarrasing! What is it gonna take?

They interviewed Spurrier and he said that it was making his players believe that the GA-FL game was a home game that turned things around. Damn, I believe that! He said he couldn’t imagine going up to Atlanta to play GA every year.

I think it is time to get the damn game out of Jacksonville. That may of worked when Georgia was so much better than Florida but now it’s just an additional home game for FL. Play it in Jacksonville one year and Atlanta the next. It is such an added advantage for Florida. Like Spurrier said, imagine Florida having come to Atlanta every year. What if Ohio State had to play Michigan in Detroit every year? Would Auburn play LSU in New Orleans each year? How about that? What if we played Tennessee in Nashville every year? It’s crazy! The SEC is tough enough without having this added wieght.

It’s time to say goodbye to the “World’s Largest Cocktail Party!” Nobody wants to be affiliated with that nonsense now anyway. I’m sure the GA faithful wouldn’t mind driving up to Athens or down to Gainesville instead of this foolishness.

How much longer are Dog fans gonna scratch their heads? Damn!

The only good thing about this year’s game is knowing that Gators are not that good. Leak is a mediocre quarterback and Wynn is not much betters as a running back. They’ll get beat in the SEC Championship. Not much consolation their as I HATE THE GATORS!

Let’s blame everyone that we can for letting another game get away. Hey - I wish we could hang it on Michael Adams (aka King Arrogant I), but the reality is we did not execute and a lot of the heat specifically goes to Mr Milner. If I recall, he had 4-5 drops yesterday and also had some in the game last year, plus some goat horns in the Vandy game. Potential means nothing if you don’t execute during the game. Here is a solution - let’s dress out King Arrogant I (wearing # 1/4 befitting his real worth to the Bulldog Nation) and we will solve two problems: A. Milner sits on the bench where he richly deserves to be B. Some DB will play “Off with King’s Head” thereby solving another problem. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go look for my remote control which was last seen sailing into the yard after drop # 3 !!

Let me tell ya’ll something. Stafford sucks. This kid/punk needs to grow up fast. He is not playing for a Division II team. He is making some terrible decisions that are turning into turnovers for the past 3 weeks. Then he scores a touchdown and goes to the sideline and does some kind of celebration with his hand in front of his face like he has done something!! Hello, act like a leader, we are still down by 14. Wake up, celebrate after you have a 35 point lead, show some class, stop show boating. I think coach Richt has lost some of the class and discipline that in the past 5 years he has worked to restore in UGA. Bench the guys who are not performing, (even if they are seniors)and play all underclassmen if you have to. Inman really sucks, he has cost us at least 2 games this year. I ma sad that we are where we are and that we are stuck with Stafford for the next 4 years. I hope he reads this. Hey Stafford lay off the booze and girls and focus on football, you owe that to your University, play some in the off season if you want!!

And dont book so soon for a bowl unless ur just a bigger idiot than Im thinking.. we’ve got 3 games left…KY and GT are wins.

If we had any offense and a field goal kicker we blow you guys out by 4 tds.

The so called block in the back on our punt return was a week call, looked like a block in the back because in full motion it looks like one, however slow mo shows the guy fell.

Your two touchdowns came off turnovers by us.

Sit here and cry all you want, we were the better team(was there 1 holding call on the Georgia line called during the game, i could point out 5-6). Georgia i don’t think even got called for a hold.

We should have destroyed you guys, we give you two scores on short fields from turnovers and all of a sudden you think you should have beat us? You had 5 turnovers and we left 13 points on the field.

And in the SEC that spells trouble because we’ve got 5-7 teams that are in the Top 25 every freakin year! So shut up and get behind your team!

Now with that said, UT fans are loving that you UGA is getting the crap kicked out them because UGA fans are almost as obnoxious as Florida’s, and that’s should be take as a great insult and wake up call.

And Slim Fck Fill…SOME of the fans suck for badmouthing the coach etc…but I recall lots of the same orange crap oozing from some of the UT fans last year when UT sucked so bad.

I don’t understand why people keep making excuses for CMR. Georgia does have 2 SEC championships, but the fact of the matter is that he 1-4 against Florida. Wasn’t he brought here to beat Florida? Whether or not Georgia has a young Quaterback isn’t the issue! Tennesse beat Georgia 2 years ago with Ainge as a true freshman. I really dont’ see what he had done that is so great! They beat Arkansas to win the SEC championship—big deal! Mark Richt arrived at a time when the SEC was down. Teams such as USC, Miami, and Ohio state were the elite teams. Now that the SEC is back to prominence, Georgia is showing they are not better than a middle-of-the-road team. I appreciate what CMR has accomplished with his time here at UGA, but I think everyone who is expecting National Championships from him—is really overestimating his abilities. He can’t even beat Florida.

First off, I find it hilarious that UGA fans are saying you got robbed. Florida threw an INT inside our 30 that lead to 7 points. Tebow fubled inside the 15 that lead to 7 points. That was it. Your offense had two scoring drives of 30 and 15 yards. Our defense dominated all day.

Secondly, Stafford has a strong arm but makes bad decisions. He is a freshman and it showed time and time again. How many times did he check down to his RB? He constantly forced 15-25 yard passes to Millner (who wasnt playing well). Your running game was also non existant.

Thirdly, Tebow only took 6 snaps. To say that you shut him down is stupid. He had 36 yards on 6 carries. Thats 6/ypc for you Dawgs. Pretty awesome to me :)

Fourthly, to say that the refs gave us the game….that shows that you are ignorant and naive. You dont hear the Gator fans complaining that a “block in the back” was called on James TD return…that was obviously not true. James was already by the lunging out lineman when our 3rd string corner bumped his shoulder into his shoulder. The face mask was definitely a penalty. His entire helmet turned to a 90 degree angle??? WTF? And for the pass interences…they did call it. When your QB is 13-33 and his passes are sailing downfield…I dont think the refs are going to throw the flag every time there is a little contact. You got one call on the last drive…stop crying.

Lastly, I couldnt be happier that UF outplayed, outcoached, and was a tougher team than UGA yesterday. Everyone talks about UGAs defense and blah blah blah…the best defense in the SEC…and one of the best in the NCAA was wearing Orange and Blue baby!!! Go Gators.

PS Chris Leak also played the entire second half with a concussion….and still beat you guys :) Go Leak

I want to go on record saying that he will break UGA and SEC records. We’re having a down year… so what everybody does (‘05 Tenn, The Ron Zook Gators, 03 Auburn, Probation Alabama) so whats so different about us having one. We’re a young football team without a lot of raw,young talent. The only thing I see that should be changed this offseason is the WR coach John Eason; he was hired in ‘01 when we had Terrance Edwards, Fred Gibson, and Reggie Brown. But since production has been in the crapper. Let all the other fans from the gayturs, techies, NCAA cheaters from tennessee and sociology majors from auburn bash us like they want, they did it to Tenn last year and all the other teams I listed above with down years. Mark Richt will have back to the top of the SEC next year I GUARANTEE IT. Meanwhile lets win these last 3 and show the other conferences who’s boss when it comes to the bowls.

A game shouldn’t come down to one or two plays. We can make excuses about the officials, and the lack of depth on the O-line, and inexperience, and on and on. When a so-called “receiver” can’t catch a football that lands in his hands, you are not going to win. And a championship team has to play four quarters. The Dawgs have not played more than two quarters in any game this year.

You cannot blame the blown face mask call for losing the game. The officiating was bad on both sides. You are not going to beat anybody with 5 turnovers, it’s that simple. Stafford is killing us with his interceptions and bad decisions. But he’s just a freshman, what can you expect. I think Richt should have stuck with Joe T as the starter for the rest of this year and worked Stafford into the games to get experience. But just throwing the kid out there is just too much for him to handle at this stage. He is going to throw 2-3 interceptions per game, you have to be prepared for that, it’s going to happen. Richt is the blame for Stafford’s problems, the kid is not quite ready.

And the receivers, what can you say, they suck. Milner doesn’t belong on the field, period. Why does Richt keep going with him? He’s killing us with his dropped passes.

The defense played much better, I will have to give Martinez credit, they had a good game plan for once.

Hopefully all the misery we will endure this year will go towards making us better next year.

You lost the game because of 5 turnovers, a tight end who can’t catch, a poor offensive line, and a wide receiver I will call Fred Gibson II not wanting to take a hit across the middle. Shame on you UGA fans for booing MM even though he deserved it. As I recall a certain Kenny Irons was at a UGA game when you “fans” booed Terrence Edwards after he dropped a pass. Maybe that why he is at Auburn now. Some of you Dawgs saying get rid of Richt are ridiculous. If I remember correctly UGA hadn’t won much of anything before he got there. Lastly, if you don’t like the game being in Jacksonville, FL maybe you shouldn’t come at all. I didn’t hear may UGA fans complain that the SEC championship game was in Atlanta, GA.

The facemask call was iffy, but by the rulebook, the correct call was made. I don’t think it was any more questionable that the block in the back call that on the replay showed the UGA defender falling forward on his own because he got juked out of his shoes. Any rational fan knew that guy wasn’t going to be making a play on James. I also counted at least 3 holding/blocking fouls on UGA that weren’t called. Some calles are going to be missed on both sides, there just aren’t enough eyes watching what’s going on. UGA didn’t overly benefit from any one call, no more so than we were denied by any one call.

dewan = idiot dewan Has not accomplished anything dewan is defending our nation as a Finance officer. NOT! dewan needs to get a life dewan is gay dewan does not know anything about football dewan is just trouble dewan has no friends dewan needs to go away to another school dewan…don’t look back

Now for the real truth. I saw Stafford play high school ball. He had kids there that would catch his passes and for the life of me I see receivers dropping his passes. Not all of them and some of his throws this year has been terrible. But he also looks a little uncomfortable back there right now (true freshman) but next year he is going to be real good and you will all be praising Matt and hoping he sticks around for all four years. And for the record….he has the best arm in the entire SEC!

How many SEC championships did the GAYTORS win Saturday? ZERO! YOU f* still have two championships to go before you can talk to us! The refs stole that game from us! The GAYTORS are highly overrated and it showed! I told you GAYTOR fans that UGA would not allow that Tebow run around crap! WE put some hat in his earhole! Get ready for three more years of that gimmick boy!

Some of you people need to get a life. Football is fun, BUT it is only a game. I suspect that most of you super negative people probably don’t even know how to spell Georgia.

Mark Richt is a class guy. He has represented our university well. We lost to Florida again and the sun still came up Sunday morning.

We had some people make some mistakes. They are human. I am still proud of ALL of them.

Now let’s kick Kentucky1 GO DAWGS!!!

To all GayTurd fans… last year you beat (barely, as I recall) a UGA team with a QB (JT3) with no game experience. This year you had to hang on to beat what is clearly the worst UGA team in years. So, while you have the better team, you clearly are not that much better. For all the hoopla and crap you folks like to spread around, just realize that in reality you’re not that much better than the rest of us. Yea buddy, you can be real proud of beating the worst UGA team in years by 7 big points. That’s quite a football machine you have there………….. NOT!

Now that it’s been a couple of days I feel like I can think a little clearer. 1) You cannot ask an 18 yrd freshman to carry the team. Guys have got to make some plays for him and help him out. He got a little frustrated and tried to press and made a couple of mistakes. He threw some nice passes and threade a few but nobody caught them. Milner looked a clumsy oaf on one of those drops! He’s a senior and has got to help the freshman out! Lumpkin fumbling on the first play of the second half (for a TD) didn’t exactly help the momentum. The point is you’ve got to help him out and you can’t dig a 21 point hole and expect Stafford to carry us to victory (with no help)

Boy am I glad Georgia has Stafford and Florida has Tebow. Wait until Florida has to rely on Tebow’s arm to win a game. Ain’t gonna happen!!! By this time next year Stafford will be playing at SEC Player of the Year form. Mark my words… UGA will beat Florida next year!

I would also like to say that I’m glad that Stafford is playin a lot. However Cox has never lost a game that he’s started. He broke Chris Leak’s records from high school. He’s got next to no college playing time, and he led us to a victory against Colorado. I’m not ready to toss this kid aside just yet. He’s only thrown 28 collegiate passes and completed 17 of them. Hell Joe T. was out for 3 games and he’s got almost 3 times that many attempts. I’m in agreement that I think Stafford is probably the future but let’s not forget that Joe Cox has a pretty stout resume following him to UGA as well.

I have one more thing to say to the BulldogNation. If you think the sky is falling in Athens it’s time for a reality check. Look at the once mighty Alabama program. Take a look at the nose dive Miami program. Tell me you’d like to support those thugs!!!? Can anyone find Nebraska in the top 10 these days? How about Joe Pa, anyone? Uhhhhhhh, where’s Oklahoma? A few years ago ESPN and Sports Illustrated were about to crown Bob Stoops as the greatest coach ever! Wow even USC lost a game. Look at the Ron Zook years, or maybe the ‘05 Vols.

The point… We could have it a lot worse (see above), so button up the chin straps and get on board and be a real Georgia football fan instead of a bunch of fairweather bandwagon idiots. BTW - If I ever catch a UGA fan booing another player I’m going to walk over and punch them in the mouth!

This is great, all the Gators need to do is win and then let all the Dawg fans chew on themselves(fleas or does it feel good) with the help of Vol fans no less-keep running those recuits off folks,there were 14 Gator freshmen on that field so your boy wonder QB will have another 3 years to get to know us real well….I can hear it now for the next year the Gators were lucky because of a face mask, the refs, the game being in Jax,your coaches etc etc. While you were getting by Colorado, Miss State, and Old Miss we were playing real football with Auburn,Bama,LSU and Tennessee.I keep reading these history lessons about once upon a time Hershel Walker ran,Lindsey Scott caught, Vince coached,and my favorite you won the SEC 2 out of 4 past years-count the win loses since WWII, check when the last time Georgia won the SEC 6 straight times or to change sports how about the Gator National Champions BBall team… So this season what have we done….Auburn beat us in the 4th qtr and hopefully will get another date with us, LSU/Bama was Gator bait and Erick Anige learned how to do the Gator chomp(we had to pay the refs extra for that)yes we are very overrated….what is that sound coming out of the hills of Georgia and Tennessee “we hate the Gators”…Music to our ears in the land of Palm and Pine….and Auburn fans please win out we would love to dance again in Atlanta

Boy, what a replay of last year’s game. Fall behind right away, make a small comeback, but lose. Before we go crazy over the defense’s second half effort, remember Auburn held them in check, and won the game. Milner has been a disaster since last year, put him at tackle, if MR thinks he such a great blocker. Colorado must now feel like they are cursed when Milner caught the winning touchdown. Anyone want to say Vanderbilt when Milner dropped another pass. Like almost every person watching TV , I thought Matthew was throwing the ball out of bounds instead of another heave oh into five man coverage. It’s just that high school mentality, thrown it up, someone on my team will catch the thrown. NOT!!!!! This is the worst blocking team I can remember Ga. having. On the first play of the second half,the Florida player was in the back field, running over our line man and hitting Lumpkin before he turned up field. Wasn’t there a time when MR talked about having all our talented running back, who have average speed, being in the back field together. And let’s put another running back on kick off return. Slow and straight up the field, waiting for another knee injury. If we can lose another back, we may recruit a major running back who may could see playing time next year. And yet, I remember over 30 years ago, Vince taking the dawgs to the Sun Bowl and winning. Been a Dawg fan since. We can also still count of Reggie losing the game for Tech.

Georgia lost to Florida 21-14 Saturday. The Bulldogs played the Gators tough and might have had a chance to tie the game late but a face-mask penalty gave Florida a key first down.

What did you think of the Dogs’ effort? How about the play of freshman QB Matthew Stafford? Did he gain valuable experience?

Did you agree with the call on the face-mask penalty?

I thought just for once I’d come over to the Ga pups blog to see if “The Man” was anywhere to be found. Do any of you doggies know this anal loving moron?? No facts on the game just stupid childish insults that make all of you dog fans look like morons. Did ya’ll ban him from the Ga blog?? Is that why he can only be found with his insightful b/s on the tech blog. He’s got to be a teenager or younger cause that seems to be his maturity level. Or maybe he’s just gay and projecting…hmmm…that makes an interesting insight!!! The bulldogs are in the closet and “The Man” is trying to come out of the closet!!! Now I get it!!!

As a casual observer of UGA football, it appears their fans are a bunch of crybabies whose real problem is the fact their team has lost 15 of the last 17 games. They try to blame the losses on officiating because they have no legitimate defense for the continuing losses every year. On ESPN on Saturday night, I saw highlights of the game including the very obvious face mask grab in the last minutes of the game. The call was correct. Quit crying and start playing better!
