I've started to take a step back from my initial reaction to this game, but I am still extremely disappointed and shocked by what I saw. Not just the play, but the plan.
After the loss to Alabama Kirby went all in on we are going to win with "Georgia style Football", but I had hoped that was lip service and we would really use those 2 weeks and this game to work on our passing game. After all of the criticism from... ya know... EVERYONE, I thought we might finally see JT in this game or at least see another attempt to further develop the passing game with Bennett.
I am okay with the answer not being Mathis... we saw already that he was not ready. I can understand Beck not being ready as well, but if we find out that Daniels was/is ready and this was just Kirby being pig-headed with a he'll show everyone chip on his shoulder, then we have a problem.
Even when the Becks and the Vandagriffs of the world are ready, there will always be "something" if our HC is that stubborn.
The best leaders are flexible and address valid critique. The best leaders recognize when times change and they change with it.
Gotta be honest... Haven't seen it from him yet. I also wasn't thrilled to see his post game comments when he was called out on todays performance and denied that there even were any offensive struggles. I gave him passes oh.... the first 4 or 5 times he's demonstrated this behavior, but I've been consistent on saying how long I would be lenient in my judgement: Last season I really started looking at things with a critical eye.
Last year we had no receivers.. This year we had to depend on transfers to LEAD THE TEAM. I guess no one will pass true judgement and chalk this season up to COVID, but you can find and excuse for everything. The question is how long do you want to listen to excuses. Personally.. I don't care what the excuse is any longer.
Now don't get me wrong... I know my opinion doesn't mean anything to Kirby, UGA, or anyone. I'm just a guy giving his opinion to some other guys, but there my opinion is.
God Bless and Go Dawgs
