Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread, Bama vs. UGA...

[DzynKingRTR]

Only if it were accompanied by a half a dozen questionable officiating calls in their favor and at least three one-in-a-thousand bounces of the football type plays...

uga is a 24.5 point favorite and I expect them to cover and then some.

By the way we are ranked Number ONE in the AP and 2 in the Coaches poll.

I honestly can’t ever figure out if it’s how the stadium is built or just the general attitude by Alabama fans who attend games, but BDS rarely gets loud and raucous like JHS, Tiger, Kyle, Swamp, or Neyland. It can get pretty loud but it’s generally a night game with a lot riding on it. But go to the other 5 i mentioned, and you are going to feel the crowd in any SEC game that they host.

Loudest I’ve seen games personally at BDS

1) 14 Auburn
2) 24 UGA
3) 07 Arkansas
4) 15 LSU
5) 13 LSU

Last night there also a good showing of puppy fans as well, and they were loud and obnoxious. But the Bama crowd was on point all night. Hollywood’s TD and Brown’s Int were earth shattering moments.

It’s both but the lower bowl was not built to retain crowd noise at all (not saying that was even a consideration when it was being built).

it’s not like those other stadiums with rapidly rising bleachers creating a sharper angle to direct the noise back inside the stadium. The upper decks have helped to keep some of that noise in, especially the end zones.

I don’t know, they will have a pretty big hangover from the game last night.

Oh and guess who Georgia gets to take their frustrations out on next week.

Starts with a “A” ends with an “N”

Barn starts with a "B".

While the officials DID call three OPI’s on UGA, there were at least three others not called, and two were rather obvious-one where Georgia receiver grabbed the right shoulder pad of the Bama defender and pulled him out of the way to get space and another on an out pattern to the sideline where the Bama defender was cutting underneath and Georgia player grabbed him to prevent the pick.

And the amount holding by the UGA Oline in the second half was ridiculous. They literally were tackling our d line guys. They showed a reverse angle shot of a UGA receiver making a catch. We had sent #13 (Moore) on a blitz. The left tackle had him in a bear hug.

Officiating across college football is getting worse and worse. Officials in many games can’t even get spotting the correct. In one game I saw yesterday, the side judge was 15 yards behind the play, came running in and spotted the ball a full yard behind the actual “spot”.

I was SCREAMING at the damn TV about all that holding for the entire 2nd half. Glad I’m not the only one who saw how egregious it was. Also saw the same calls they missed on GA’s receivers. Bloody ridiculous. I’m not sure what the current status is of college officials but the game deserves a more professional approach to officiating. It’s high stakes, there’s a lot of revenue at stake and questionable officiating can have an extreme impacts on games. Replays don’t solve a lot of bad calls or non-calls. It’s beyond time for changes.

Anyone else see Bernard do a backflip after the last snap? Super athletic.

Too much "me ball" for Milroe in the 2nd half. It almost cost us the game.

Sorry, this is just not true. The coaches called it that way. There were 3 questionable zone read plays in which he should have handed it off instead of keeping it, but there were also a few in which he should have kept it but handed it off. He was not trying to be the hero. He was just having a tough time with those reads because GA was making it hard.

The reality - those should have all been RPO plays or pure pass plays, because the middle of the field was wide open.

Milroe was running the plays that were called.

More superman ball than me ball - a similar trap into which we fell with Bruce Young.

Rather than making it tougher on the players you want to make it simpler in those cases...

Too much "me ball" for Milroe in the 2nd half. It almost cost us the game. I think that was on our coaches. If we had utilized the TE passes and mixed in some running backs more in the 2nd half, we could have won by two or three TDs.

They shut down the outside plays that worked so well in the first half. I couldn't figure out what they were doing to compensate. It was almost like they failed to foresee Kirby's halftime adjustments.

It is normal for teams to adjust at halftime, so you have to be prepared as a coach to pivot after you see what they have changed. Alabama just didn't. I suspect that DeBoer just refused to believe that GA could climb all the way back, especially after Alabama stopped them so easily on their first possession of the second half. He was wrong. He will learn from it.

Please kill any and all talk of Georgia is the new dynasty, blah blah blah

John Parker Wilson, A.J. McCarron, Jake Coker, and Mac Jones belong is this picture also. Each got one of those 9 wins. This stretch dates back to 2008.

Honestly the game after the 4th drive is misleading. I know the common takeaway is going to be “Georgia fought back” or “They finally figured out Sheridan or Wommack” but the reality of it is that no one expected Alabama to go up 28-0 on Georgia after 4 drives… to include Alabama.

Shannon Sharpe made a great point last night in that it’s far easier to play out of a 28-0 deficit than it is to maintain it because one side the game plan is simple and the other it’s a race to the bell if one side just says “I didn’t hear no bell ring”. Which Georgia has too much pride to just lay down.

Milroe played his best game ever. Anyone who says otherwise watched a different game or is purposely hating. He proved he is a legitimate quarterback and has improved immensely under the Deboer/Sheridan/Shepard system. We don’t win last night without him… full stop.

I think everyone with grounded gripes will point to the defense, but let’s also understand that Georgia had to go for it on 4th down 7 times to just to get back in the game. 3 or 4 times on their own side of the field. If they weren’t down huge those are most likely punts. The point being is that our defense forced Georgia to play desperate and totally play out of character. This isn’t a Pete Golding defense and most of those guys making huge plays are freshmen out there.

I think the only true gripes I have are the two double passes we did. But if they would have worked then we are probably calling them acts of genius, but as they are they were drive killers.

Overall Bama is still Bama. New Coach and Same Georgia Nightmare.

Not sure if it has been mentioned; but Milroe completed passes to 11 different receivers. Impressive play calling and execution.
