He had no time and no receivers to choose from in the 1st half. In the 2nd half, he was fitting some throws in there that were incredible trying to lead a comeback. The interception before halftime was a bad decision, but I give him credit for trying to make something happen at a time when NOTHING was going right.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05517460393995617201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-8255972190270352392008-09-29T22:26:00.000-04:002008-09-29T22:26:00.000-04:00Another A+ to the fans.

It seemed like Stafford panicked and stopped trusting his line to protect him, and that cause him to make some bad throws.

It works great against most teams, but UGA has better talent than most teams, so of course it will work. Three years in a row we have played a team with a good OL and a veteran QB and three times we've been blown out.<BR/><BR/>His soft zone philosophy will not work against teams that match up against us skill-wise. Starting the Alabama game in that soft zone allow Wilson to get into a rhythm and gain confidence. Looking a the first few completions for Alabama and see how much room we gave their WRs, then compare that to how they defended us. WM's philosophy allowed Wilson to gain the rhythm and confidence he needed.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710149304054232809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-83957544375628469282008-09-29T20:52:00.000-04:002008-09-29T20:52:00.000-04:00Offensively, one of our strong suits is Stafford's...Offensively, one of our strong suits is Stafford's ability to check off at the line. It seemed Sat. that we were always getting to the line with about 7-8 seconds left and no time for #7 to make adjustments.<BR/> Similarly, on Defense, Bama snapped the ball at least 3 times while our players were still looking to the sideline for the play call...what's up with that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-89035991782194069112008-09-29T19:16:00.000-04:002008-09-29T19:16:00.000-04:00Ever since WM has been the DC, we have suffered bl...Ever since WM has been the DC, we have suffered blowouts or even games where it was unexplainably close. There are wide open receivers in every game. Not eveyone gets the ball but it happens so frequently that it is scary when you watch replays. Good teams take advanage of it. No one is sayng WM is not a good person but I would like to believe he (they) learns from our mistakes. The results speak for themselves. We get blown out as if we have no idea what is going on. <BR/><BR/>I do agree the offense puts the defense in bad situations. Bobo only seems to open it up when we are behind and goes way too conserative when we are ahead so that the other team has a chance to catch up. I personally would try to find some coaches with NFL experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-34007049465832951712008-09-29T18:47:00.000-04:002008-09-29T18:47:00.000-04:00Nice assessment David.This game was too much to ha...Nice assessment David.<BR/><BR/>This game was too much to handle in the second half. 24 is do-able, 28 is pushing it, 31 is Mt.

Offense needed to control the ball longer, or keep up somewhat with the shootout. The defense gets more rest, and hopefully Martinez gets more time to make adjustments. A better gameplan from the beginning would've been nice though.<BR/><BR/>I really didn't understand our offensive plan either. Seemed like there were quite a few downfield throws on first down which go incomplete, then we get only two plays to go 10 yards against a tough defense. Why didn't we attack the edges passing more? Why didn't we try to be more creative with the running game, cause we should've known there would be limited success running through the line. <BR/><BR/>How about Knowshon taking some snaps and running an option with Caleb King? Something like that. We have weapons. Use them creatively to help make up for our weaknesses!<BR/><BR/>BTW, is Stafford so easy to read that their safety(ies) could always make it over to our receiver before the ball gets there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-42820178567185006742008-09-29T18:24:00.000-04:002008-09-29T18:24:00.000-04:00Another comment, I have not heard the coaches say ...Another comment, I have not heard the coaches say they had a bad plan.

Yes, Georgia won the second half, but you have to ask how much Bama took its foot off the gas when they were up so big. The only time the game was in question was after Prince's return, and when Georgia desperately needed a stop on Bama's next drive, they weren't able to get it.<BR/><BR/>I completely agree that the adjustments came WAY too late in this game, but I also think Alabama was clearly the better team on the field and was going to win that game no matter what.David Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872368286061273646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-64680192396413628252008-09-29T17:30:00.000-04:002008-09-29T17:30:00.000-04:00I have heard very few people talk about this: UGA ...I have heard very few people talk about this: UGA loses 31-0 in the first half, and wins 30-10 in the second half. <BR/><BR/>If we had been able to adjust sooner, could we have won the game?
