I'm sick of DeBord's 1980s-style Big 10 play-calling. One of the reasons we fall behind every game is that he starts every game with conservative play calling--two Hurd runs, a swing pass to Kamara and a punt. We do nothing offensively early in games.

The only time our offense clicks is when we're behind by 14 and Mr. Big 10 opens the playbook and starts using all our weapons. Did we even throw a pass to a TE today? How many passes did we throw to Malone? Dobbs didn't even run the ball once in the first quarter.

And whenever the game is close, he is conservative. If the florida game had been close in the 2nd half, do you think we'd haven been throwing downfield to Malone and Jennings? Hell no! We'd have been running and punting and probably choking late.

How about using all our weapons from the start of the game? How about a little creativity from the start.

You realize we were moving the ball with relative ease but had 2 turnovers which led to points, right?

Dude, all but about 5 teams in the NCAA would gladly trade spots with us at the moment.

Not in the mood for negative threads tonight. We won the damn game and that's all that matters. Shut up already and enjoy the win. 5-0.

The Hurd fumble and drops this week and last week aren't on Debord. I'm usually a "blame the coordinator" guy, but he's called good games the past two week. The players on the field need to execute better and not shoot themselves in the foot. I hate to admit it because I'm not a fan of Debord, but he's doing his job.

UGA was playing the pass really well all game. Then Hurd can't secure a TD pass. Croom can't catch. Josh "best hands" Smith can't catch a TD pass that hits him in the hands. Heck, even Jennings dropped an easy pass in the 1st half.

No, he doesn't because he was drunk watching the game and sputtering like a red faced baby every time something happened that he didn't like.

There were 2 consecutive drops in the end zone deep in the red zone as well. He probably screamed for runs then though...

He might have missed the DeBord call when he came right back at Georgia with their own scoring play but a poor throw led to an in-completion and a near pick.

It doesn't matter what he saw or missed either way all said and done, the guy shows the level he's at when he posts.

I truly feel sorry for people who can't enjoy a win like this. There has to be a screw loose to go negative after a win like that. Personally I'm still smiling :)
