They still had a chance to win this game. I'm well aware of what Kirby Smart has done for UGA football but, he has major issues. The LOS play is not very good...the pass rush is just about non-existent...the DB and Safeties are horrible in pass coverage (and missed tackles)...play calling and having the best players executing the plays are questionable. It all starts and ends with Kirby Smart.
My confidence in Kirby Smart is not what it was.

Same. More about piss poor tackling, diving at ankles, slapping at shoulders, shoulder bumping again…
Looked like a Black Friday at Hobby Lobby.

Our tackling has gone to shit from where it was 3-4 years ago. I can't believe that doesn't drive him crazy. You know it would not be tolerated for even a week by Saban.
I fear Kirby has CMR disease: stubborn and loyal to a fault like a battered housewife that keeps saying, "You don't know him like I do, he's really a good person."

Kirby has morphed into CMR. The team looked exactly like a CMR team. Bobo is, and always has been, a total disaster. Schumann is Grantham 2.0. Kirby is fat and happy and isn't going to make any big moves. The fan base lived off of 1980 for 35 years, Kirby knows he will retire long before 2022 fades from the fan base's memory.

NIL and the portal has changed the game drastically…I woke up Sunday not really being that concerned with the loss…5 years ago, that wouldn’t have been the case..
As to the Saban comment above, there is a reason he retired.

Agree 100%. I was more pissed about getting home at 2 am and being exhausted than the loss when I woke up on Sunday.
5 years ago, I would have stewed over the game until Tuesday.
