Georgia Bulldogs v. Auburn Tigers Game Day Open Comment Thread

Georgia Bulldogs @ Auburn Tigers


In light of the number of comments to have appeared at Dawg Sports over the course of the last few days, I don’t think I have to tell you that your reactions, reflections, responses, and ruminations to this afternoon’s renewal of the Deep South’s oldest football rivalry go in the comments below. Please play nicely and keep it clean.

I will also take this opportunity to identify the Dawg Sports honorary game day captain for today’s contest on the Plains. I have selected Jimmy Campagna, whose 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Auburn in 1952 sparked a 13-7 Georgia victory over the Tigers in Columbus and tied Lamar Davis’s school record return against Tulane in 1940. (Lindsay Scott and Thomas Brown later eclipsed that mark in 1978 and 2006, respectively.)

Go ‘Dawgs! Auburna delenda est!

What are these large number of comments of which you speak? I haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary this week…

A simple request:

1) Please keep it clean
2) Dawg Fans: Please be postive
3) If you dont like a scheme or call, that’s ok, but, please, no blame gaming or “fire xxx” or Coach XXX is an idiot (see note 2).
4) Add insight, color and your thoughts, not blame, hate, or worry for next week or the bowl or next year.
5) If trolls show up – do not respond to them. It is pointless.
6) Let’s enjoy this one today. )

Well, I vented a lot about Special Teams

and how you couldn’t judge the defense this year with bad ST play, and my stance is the same now.

by tankertoad on Nov 15, 2008 12:44 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

What was that?

The wind’s a factor. The field goal kicking has left a lot to be desired recently. You have third down on the three. Run it up the middle and, at worst, set up a makeable fourth down.

The play calling was good up until the third down call. The pass was a mistake. Power football. Man up.

Go 'Dawgs!

"a lot to be desired"

is a very delicate and tacful word choice.

And yes – Knowshown x 2 would have been nice. He can go over the top from the 2, we have seen that.

Father Dawg, the whistle blew

With our penchant for untimely personal foul penalties, they just let him go. Shows how informed the Auburn crowd is.

I'm not anti that fade

Green still came down with the ball, but got forced out. I guess seeing Knowshon more would have been nice, but Stafford and Green have made plays all year. I can’t fault him for that call.

Why did we send Blair Walsh in there just then? Did any Dawg fan NOT see that one coming? Moving the ball at will, and we do that? Agh!

by Father Dawg on Nov 15, 2008 12:45 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That wasn't the line's fault

That was blocked like a yard behind the line of scrimmage. Walsh didn’t get the ball up. You have to believe his pysche is hanging by a thin thread right now.

The ball's inside the GA 10-yard line after a special teams play

So, an "interesting" choice of going for the FG with 3 yards to go and a pass and FG

has resulted in Auburn flipping the field.

T Kyle is the statisician, but I am CONVINCED, field positioning is a huge weakness this year.

Do we need to just work on scoring on big plays outside of the red zone?

I don’t remember us doing it as much this year as last year. It would certainly help us score without worrying about getting in the red zone.

Heres the thing

If they decide that he is the man, they need to give him all the reps from spring practice on. Miller and Gray, and maybe even Knowshon, have been splitting time there. That leads to uncecessary inexperience, which has translated to problems on the field.

I know he has all the talent in the world, but he is yet to prove to me that he can use them to effectively play QB for more than just short spurts. I know he is going to have all the money a person can dream of thrown at him, but he would really be better served long term by staying.

I dont know if he will go pro or not

but if he stays, I hope he has a serious sit down heart to heart with some good friends, his mom and dad, and maybe CMR and realize he needs to be committed to the team, the school, and the moment at hand, and realize this isn’t Texas where he was god-like. He is a fine and good young man, but he needs to prioritize what he wants and where his heart is.

Well said... It's hard to characterize this team and this

game without being too negative. I sure as hell don’t know how to do it. If they weren’t so talented it would honestly be easier to take. It just shouldn’t be this bad. Someone mentioned it last week but maybe we would be better with a lower profile QB.

We have the ball at the 50. We’ve not turned these situations into 6 points, and they do. Let’s change that now.

That “disaster” is 8-2, ranked tenth in the B.C.S. standings, and has the lead on the road in a rivalry game.

I don’t believe the season is a disaster by any means, but we need to quit looking for the mental breakdowns to stop at this point in the season. If it hasn’t changed by now, it won’t. This is the makeup of the team and we need to look for the best out of them understanding there are going to be some head-shaking penalties along the way.

by tankertoad on Nov 15, 2008 1:57 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Thats the problem

At the UF game, the halftime mindset was “Oh crap, here we go again.” They just convinced themselves that we were screwed. I was thinking the same way, but was in the stands and I’m allowed to think like that. They need to realize that they should be dominating this game, come back out, and do something about it.

by SG Standard on Nov 15, 2008 1:59 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Precisely

Well said. Georgia has outplayed Auburn. The offense just needs to execute, the defense needs to keep doing what it’s doing but clean up the foolish penalties, and the special teams need to not make a complete hash of matters.

The defense has played well...

So we have that going for us. It’s nice to see Willie move away from the cover 2 a little bit more often. However, I’m not sure if performing well against this Auburn team is much of an accomplishment.

I think it's all of the above. And you're right, those are very important

factors but they don’t force personal fouls and 3rd and short redzone fades. There seems to be so many factors week to week that it will take an entire offseason to address them effectively. I just hope that the same people that were around when this started will be able to change the mindset because we know it will still be the same coaches next year. At the very least, the coaching staff is part of the problem but they won’t be CMR’s solution so what will it be? What do you do to change this?

by VDawg on Nov 15, 2008 2:08 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

The biggest thing to me...

…is the lack of senior leaders. The players have made that painfully clear in the last few weeks that no one has really stepped up. Next year the team will be a little older and hopefully someone on the defensive side of the ball will step into that Kelin Johnson role.

I looked at my wife after Staff missed Massaquoi (sp?)...

on that long ball and said, “We’re talented, but I just don’t think this team is that good”.

I know that’s probably a shared sentiment and it’s dreadfully obvious at times, but we just don’t seem to click. Our talent has won us a lot of games, but it was the missing “team” aspect that cost us the others. If we just out-talent our opponents in these next two and a half games and go to the house 11-2, I’ll be happy.

Regroup, and come out as a team next fall.

Been a tough season to watch even in the wins.

Again, I know I’m just saying what others have said, but I just needed to say it.
