Outlook - Focus on the Positives!

[Philstat]

I know last night was tough, though let‘s objectively look at the positive takeaway:

- Liam did an excellent job overall
- Leary 0 INTs
- Competed against #1 team in CFB
- We had UGA on the ropes a few times with some great drives, some stalled due to penalties
- Stoops called a masterful game for the most part, just ultimately ran out of time and came up a bit short
- Jager will learn from his mistakes
- Davis had some good runs
- Receivers ran a number of great routes, fewer drops

Bottom line, we’ll lose a close game to Bama, maybe another or so, though 9-3 is easily within grasp!

I'm seeing 10-2. We are fine people!

Yeah, absolutely possible, no doubt!

Wow, if you think we keep it close with Bama after watching last night’s fiasco, you’re just not living in reality. I’m not sure we can slow any good passing team down, and we aren’t out scoring anybody unless something drastic happens with our QB and WRs. And Liam had a good game? What game were you watching? He runs the slowest offense in the country and is extremely predictable. We did absolutely nothing the entire second half.

You’re idea of “competing” and mine are different I suppose. #1 the game was never in doubt for them, and #2 170 yards of total offense (or whatever it ended up being) vs. their 1000+ yards (it felt like) is not competing in my book. Our defense could not deal with their offense last night, and when that happens we aren’t going to compete with many teams as we all know our teams strength is almost always on the defensive side. Stoop’s best teams have struggled to score.

OP gonna need a bigger boat.

 

[PensacolaBlue]

Wait, is this post sarcasm and I fell for it? Nobody in their right mind could get anything positive out of last night.

Yea, that’s probably not gonna happen either. Most likely they go 8-4 maybe 9-3. Bama is probably a loss, Tennessee is probably a loss, and miss state scar and Louisville are all coin flip games, and Mizzou is a must win at home

 

[Philstat]

The team will respond, this got their attention, big time, injuries are a concern afterwards, still feel good moving forward.

As soon as I find one (positive) I'll focus on it.

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not,,,

I like Coen and glad we got him back…but he’s like rhe golden child of so many. Last year Scangerello was 100 percent of fault but now this year struggles are Leary faiult or Wr blame…. How can you score 2 TDs and state the offense coordinator did an excellent job?

How did we have UGA on any ropes….it was 21-0 in first quarter?

Jager has been learning thru mistakes for 1.5 years now ..his act is getting old. If he’s a three star offensive guard out of high school…we’d all be screaming why are they playing him vs his potential will come of age

The positives is saw were…

We csn run the ball with this oline…and felt Coen went way more shotgun instead of under center running Ray and play action off more….so Coen had a pretty poor game plan in general

I liked the pocket we gave Leary to throw most of game. When we got down twenty and obvious passing downs…we got bum rushed but overall Leary wasn’t running for his life

Dane Key got back to good hands game

Afari played a good game as did Deryck Jackson

Other then that..it was a mess

The positive:

Not a single team left on our schedule presents the problems of an undefeated Georgia dynasty in Athens at night.

 

[JPFisher]

- Key caught passes.

- Execution was there for the first few offensive drives, but you can't expect to get behind the chains with stupid penalties and escape Athens alive. Once it's 21-0 thanks to drives getting curb stomped by our own players, there's a snowball effect.

- We made Georgia remember who they are and acted as the sacrificial lamb for their third straight championship season. No lube, either, so that was fun.

- I got to ignore a lot of new 10-100 post troll accounts.

- I no longer have a ton of old beer to be drank-eth.

OP, I'll have whatever you're drinking.

Also, well crafted sarcasm, sir.

Right there with you! UGA sure didn’t look like they were on the ropes and like others said, not sure of your idea of “competing”, but in my view, last night wasn’t competing.
