Big Week in SEC Next Week

[WhosYourDawggy]

Huh? I am thinking the opposite.

You are the guy that is predicting a guaranteed win for Georgia and that you guys are going to hold us to 17 points. Good luck with that.

LOL ... which one of us has complimented the other team in every post he made, and pointed out both teams' weaknesses and strengths? And, you can't show anywhere that I posted we would hold you to 17 points because I didn't do that.

 

[Volbound1700]

Just to point out -- Georgia will be, BY FAR, the best defense Tennessee will see this year. So while Tennessee has looked great -- I wouldn't start getting overconfident. A defense doesn't have to stop WR's if they are pressuring a QB. So I'd worry more about Tennessee's OL handling Georgia's front 7. If that doesn't happen -- Hooker may not have the time needed to find those WR's.

Yeah, I actually pointed this out as the factor that could decide the game. However, it went over the head of all the posts in response.

The one point that I disagree with is that Alabama has a "bad" defense and that Georgia's defense is that much better than Alabama.

I think Alabama's defense had a "bad" game in Knoxville due to crowd noise, pressure, etc. That doesn't mean Alabama has a bad defense.

I do think Georgia is vulnerable to the pass. They have showed it both last season and this season against Kent State, Missouri, Florida, etc. They were perfect against Oregon and it they come out and play like that, Tennessee could be in trouble.

Let me sum this up, Stetson Bennett is not Bryce Young.

If you actually watched the Alabama game, it could have gotten away from Alabama in 2Q and 3Q. There were several key plays, notably a 2nd and 24 HUGE pass with pressure on Young as well as the PI call against Tennessee that was only possible because Bryce Young dodged 3 blitzes and got the ball off in a crazy play.

Both these plays kept Alabama in the game and nearly (or should have) won it for Alabama.

I just don't see Stetson Bennett and Georgia making those type of plays.

Granted, the game being in Athens is a HUGE trump card in your favor but you are doing the exact thing that drives me crazy about some CFB fans, "Georgia has statistically the best defense". Statistics don't matter, they are driven by who you play. Of course our secondary is statistically bad because we played against teams with some of the fastest WR cores in the country: Florida, Alabama, LSU, etc.

Georgia's SOS to date is ranked 76th. While Tennessee's is 12th and Alabama's is 6th. Of course your defense looks good when they are going against Samford, Missouri, Kent State, South Carolina, Auburn, Vanderbilt, etc. Most defenses would look stellar against that slate. I really don't see how Georgia's defense is massively better than Alabama or Kentucky's defenses. Granted, I will agree that Neyland got to Alabama's defense and they are typically better and had a bad game. I disagree that Georgia's defense is just way better than Alabama's defense. I think the two units are very similar in talent, ability, etc.



As I stated, this is all a mute point because we play in 6 days and will find out but I wouldn't be so confident if I was a Georgia fan right now. You talk like it is just an absolute certainty that Tennessee's Offense won't score against you and Georgia is going to roll.

Let me say this, Georgia was very lucky last year that Alabama had some critical injuries in the WR core going into the National Title game. This is a part of the game just like turnovers or penalties impact team performance but it did impact Georgia's ability to finally beat Alabama.

Georgia ranks 13th nationally against the pass and they are team who is usually way in front of teams and they have to air it out against them. Teams have completed just over 50% of their passes against them and they have given up the 2nd fewest TD passes in the nation.

Tennessee is going to get some points, but I do not see them putting up numbers like they did against Bama, as Georgia is much more disciplined defensively and they are stacked in their front 7.

You need to take out a second mortgage on your house, empty your bank account and take a trip to Vegas. You are talking like Tennessee is the one favored by 10.5/11 points. It should be a no brainer for you.

I am just not sure because Tennessee's O line has held up every game but Georgia's defensive line is very good. I think you are on point that this could be one of the major factors in deciding the game.

The key with Georgia is that I don't see them matching Tennessee score for score like Alabama did as well. Georgia will hold Tennessee to less points than Alabama but they also won't put up as much points. Also, just the flow of the game in Knoxville turned it into a Bryce Young vs. Hendon Hooker shoot out. Tennessee actually made several mistakes to keep Alabama in the game (the controversy PI call in end zone, the giving up the 2nd and 24 play, the fumble scoop for score by Alabama's defense, etc.).

Nope, I am just pointing out that it isn't a good matchup. Everyone on here is assuming Georgia wins by 14 points or more based on the posts.

I won't lie, I have heard this shit all year and it gets old after a while.

No way Tennessee can score on Pittsburgh's great defense.

No way Tennessee gets by Florida.

No way Tennessee wins at LSU.

No way Tennessee beats Alabama if Bryce Young starts.

No way Tennessee throws on Kentucky, they have best secondary Tennessee has faced to date.

At some point, it becomes a broken record.

"If you actually watched the Bama game" - I have a son that goes to Bama, and I am obviously a huge UGA fan. And you presume I didn't watch the Bama game? SMH.

In the same post:

You: you are doing the exact thing that drives me crazy about some CFB fans, "Georgia has statistically the best defense". Statistics don't matter, they are driven by who you play.

Also you: Georgia's SOS to date is ranked 76th. While Tennessee's is 12th and Alabama's is 6th.

So, to be clear when others use statistics to show why they think they might win the game, it's not ok and drives you crazy. But, when you use statistics to show why you think they favor you, that's okay. Do I have that right? I can't use statistics, but you can?

People look at statistics - not just me - because they tell a lot of the story, although not all of it. Your O stats show you have a great O, but you are trying to say your D stats don't show you have a suspect D. Do you see why that level of inconsistency might actually drive people crazy? So, which is it, you guys have a great O and that's why you are number 1, or your defense is actually really good, it's just that statistics don't show the whole story.

Why should I not be confident ... you sure seem to be. Once again, you are allowed to be confident and post how great your team is, but I am not.

Where did I ever say that your offense won't score against you? I have actually said the exact opposite. Are you even reading what I type? I have said you will very likely get some big plays. I've said you have a really good O. SMH.

For fuck sake you then have to swing on Bama's ball sack with the "UGA won the NC because of injuries." Man, you on a roll today. Are you okay, because your posting seems to indicate you aren't okay.

Finally, it's "moot" not "mute."

Why would we not put up points like Bama? You posted all day long as if we don't have a top ranked O. Why is that? What are you going to suddenly do to keep us from scoring? How are you going to match up with our TEs, or stop our run game. You act as if we don't have the OC that was just awarded the half-season coordinator of the first half year.

You are just like the Georgia trolls being called out in this thread:

What other message boards are saying (UGA Edition)

Agreed. They win their national titles forty plus years after their first one, yet in the interim have acted like they won 10X more titles than Alabama. These people are insufferable. One would think the Ray Goff, Jim Donnan and most of the Mark Richt era against the VOLS would have taught...

www.volnation.com

I hope we beat you by 3+ TDs. Your arrogance is sickening.

I wouldn't be so confident in your shoes and frankly, I know Georgia fans in my area (including one that works under me) and they are not a dumbass like you that thinks Tennessee doesn't stand a chance.

Why not just forfeit the game and not play using your logic? Georgia has this defense that Tennessee hasn't seen before and they are just going to dominate us. (Where have I heard this before?)

Honestly, I am beginning to wonder if you are Uncle Lou at this point.

I never posted you don't have a top ranked Offense, I posted your Quarterback is NOT as good as Bryce Young. I think that is a true statement.

Ah, now I see what you've been shit posting all day long.

You and I look at things differently. I would love for everyone to be saying we suck all year long. That's the rat poison I don't want. Nothing better than to make people like that look foolish.

Also, let's not act like UTjr didn't come out of anywhere. No one saw this coming. You didn't see this coming. You can see why people were saying what they were saying. And now the press is fawning all over you, so why does this bother you? You are ranked no. 3, and likely will be no. 2 in the CFP rankings about to come out - 1. tOSU, 2. UTjr, 3. UGA, 4. UM.

I agree but you are a dbag about everything. You think Georgia is untouchable.

Also, yes I think Alabama has a better offense and here is why:

Bryce Young > Stetson Bennett
Jahmyr Gibbs > Anything in Georgia's backfield
Alabama's Wide Receiving Core maybe about equal to Georgia so you may win there

I think Alabama has more offensive fire power with Georgia. Feel free to disagree with me.

Why the fuck would we not be confident? Think for a minute before you throw up on the keyboard? Why would we not be? We've won 26 of our last 27 games. Reigning NCs. 8-0. Ranked no. 1. We've owned you the last 5 years or so. Why would you expect me to not be confident, especially when I have given UTjr props all throughout my posts. You've lost it ... go take a break. You need it.

@WhosYourDawggy

To be fair, I think we maybe just miscommunicating.

I think you are assuming I am predicting a Tennessee win, I just don't think it is a good matchup for you guys.

I am assuming that you are stating that Tennessee has no shot based off your post.

Perhaps I am just misreading you. If so, my apologies.

I don't think Georgia is massively better than Alabama like you are pointing out, I just think Alabama had a bad game in Knoxville and was caught off guard by Tennessee.

However, Tennessee is getting better week by week and that is something to note as well. The win over Kentucky yesterday was as impressive, if not more, than the win against Alabama.

I haven't said anything about UGA being untouchable. I've even said this is going to be a dogfight, that you will make some big plays, and that I am really glad it's not in Knoxville. You seem so insecure that you can't take compliments and acknowledgment of the quality of your team.

Good thing football is a team sport because objectively UGA has the better offense today over Bama, and that's not taking anything away from Bama because they have a good O. They just have a shaky OL, 1 RB not the pack of them they normally have, and a lack of the big play WRs they normally have.

Fine, I was fiery in my response and you were as well. You are correct that we let this get away from each other.

I won't lie, I love some of your posts and think you are a very intelligent/logically poster. However, I do think you tend to focus on certain points and stick with them that I sometimes disagree with. Notably some of the recruiting arguments. (Take Texas A&M as an example. They have had some of the best classes over last 5 years but are 3-5 right now). Clearly it is more than just recruiting and/or the recruiting class rankings are not always accurate.

I definitely agree with a lot of what you say in posts on here but I don't see it as 100% absolutes like you often argue (or at least come off arguing).

Looking forward to it man. Crazy to think that it could be a 1v2. I don't think Georgia and Tennessee have ever been in a 1v2.

Here's what is happening ... you simply aren't reading what I am typing. You've gotten upset and you are reading things into my posts that aren't there. I have already pointed out several things you said I said that I did not say. Here's another ... nowhere did I say UGA is massively better than Bama. Nowhere. That game would be a toss-up today. I do think we have the better team, but that's an even game on a neutral field.

Just read what I am typing, not what you think I am typing.

I am stepping away as I have things to do.

Your posts about "Tennessee hasn't played a defense like Georgia" or "Georgia has best offense Tennessee has played" read that way.

I guess that I think people are writing Alabama off too quickly off that loss to Tennessee.

I hate Alabama and would love to see them lose Saturday but I have definitely not written them off. Nervous about Alabama 2.0.

I do think Tennessee is an interesting matchup for you guys because our play style is just very different from anything Georgia has gone up against. Georgia usually plays in low scoring, slug it out games kind of like Kentucky.

Tennessee speeds games up and turns them into shoot outs. It is just a very different style of play and that is primarily why we could be a major headache for you guys.

Also where Georgia is vulnerable is the secondary. To be honest, I think all of CFB is still trying to figure out how to stop the vertical passing games at the moment. I haven't seen a defense across the country that can slow it down when ran like what Tennessee, TCU, or others are doing it. I think it has to do with just the change in the play style of the game, the rule changes, etc.
