GT at uGA Post Game

[LongforDodd]

Let’s add up the number of bad calls against each time and call it a game.

I still know who should have won and will never get over it.

I watched an enlarged slow motion replay of the hit. Made me angry all over again that the announcers established the narrative of the tackler’s helmet hitting the ball. That’s only true if King had been carrying the ball under his chin. No, the hit was high chest area / bottom of face mask. I actually saw no evidence the ball was hit. If it was hit, it was secondary and glancing. The slow motion is horrifying. You see King’s head snap and his whole body quiver. All his limbs go limp for a second before he falls to the ground.

The launch using the crown was textbook targeting. But we will never know why it wasn’t called because there was no review and thus no official explanation.

It was like everybody was so excited about Georgia recovering a fumble nothing else mattered.

I would make two changes immediately. No, it’s not enough, but it’s a start to at least get the game flowing at that point. Just get it over with. I’ll have to think about other options but these are my first 2 small changes.

• Once you get to the third OT no more switching sides
• Once you get to the third OT you get no timeouts. None. If you had one unused from that you got at the beginning of OT then tough luck. You don’t get to keep it beyond the second OT

Clearly there are stadiums set up with the home team having a “sound” advantage with cheering. The visiting team deserves a shot to not have to play on that end of the stadium,

Here's one:

Might be targeting and might not be targeting. That view is inclusive unfortunately. And per CBK the officials told him the play was reviewed unlike what the voices in the video claim. The review is important as it is easy to see why on field officials did not call targeting. King is in the middle of a group of OL and DL players. Really sucks he fumbled the ball. CBK also said he was told the "tipped pass" on the PI play was reviewed. The Tech defender did have his left arm around the receiver and did turn the receiver's body a small amount before the ball arrived.

Would have been nice if one of those plays went our way. They were both close judgement calls.

The Grand Conspiracies are really better suited for the CFP rankings where it is in plain sight.

Found it on my smart TV. Haven’t looked for it on portable devices.

Maybe.

It’s YouTube. Title is “Tech Robbed.” It’s 1:05 minutes long. On IPhone you can see King’s head snap. On a big screen TV you can see the shock wave go through his whole body. Zero video evidence that the helmet hit the ball.

You are absolutely correct. And at that point they should just leave it in the "away" end. Of course I'm biased so maybe that's just that part of me talking HAH HAH.

Here's one:

That’s the video I saw. Textbook targeting. First thing the tackler’s helmet hits is the chin / neck area of King. Head whip-lashes, body momentarily goes limp. One of the most brutal targeting plays I’ve seen since the targeting rule has been in place.

Side note is I was watching a little of the uga Texas game and I had to turn it off because I saw several attempts by uga to tackle using the crown of the helmet. Luckily they missed but who taught them to tackle like this? That’s technique from my high school days! I guess they’ve learned that dirty play pays off.

Just a dirty football team. Whatever bad happens to them, they deserve.

So I had a brief convo with a dwag at PT this AM. In response to a comment that Ole Miss had beat the crap out of UGAg, I asserted that Tech had, too.

The dwag said wtte: that’s not what the scoreboard said. To which I stated they need to give a Christmas gift to the ref.

He asked if I was talking about the fumble (he knew immediately what play I was referring to). His response was, “Not targeting. He was a RB at that time and was not defenseless.”

I replied that the rule doesn’t require him to be defenseless, which he contended with. I finally told him just to google and read the rule, it’s right there in black and white.

He finished his PT and walked off. It was respectful, but he knew they got a gift. Somehow that strangely felt good. Ha!

No call for targeting by the UGA safety#17 who clearly led with the crown of his helmet on Haynes King. Not even a review of the play when you can see with definitiveness it was targeting on the jumbotron during the replay. Going to a three (3) man rush with 5:32 left in the game up 14 points was just another boneheaded decision that Key allowed his defensive coordinator to make. No re-routing, no matching of routes by defenders, no pattern reading at all, no passing off and delivering, no match-carry-deliver from underneath defenders... Coaching and lack of preparation failed the Yellow Jackets against UGA. Up 17 points at the half to zero and give up 42 to lose the game. Embarrassing...

We were down to our 6th and 7th string DBS. I understand the idea of keeping it in front of you. If king doesn't fumble we run out the clock and it looks like a good call.

I was Christmas shopping at Lenox last week wearinga GT hat and a dawg fan wearing a UGA shirt came up to me and congratulated me on the way our team played and told we should have won that game. Didnt teally say we were robbed but his tone indicated we were. Very nice guy.

So we are down to a few db and you think we should reduce the dl rush.

Its the same defense that we had in first half vs SCuse. The qb passed for 300 yds and we ran the ball utm.

Normally no but here is the scenario. We are up 2 scores its 7 minutes left in the 4th quarter we just ran it down their throats. The worst case scenario for us is them to score very quickly on this drive. The best case scenario is we force a turnover. The acceptable scenario is they take 5-6 minutes to score. resultign in them needing an onside.

We drop 8 against a Turnover Prone QB in a hope of confusing him into throwing an interception. It does take them enough time to make it down the field to score that we can effectively run the clock out with a typical drive for the game. It makes sense in that situation.

It did not make sense at Cuse.

Football is situational. Had we brought a 0 blitz and immediatley got burned for a TD like UGA did right after tey took the lead against bama allowing a deep ball TD literlaly seconds after they came back from down 30 you'd be complaining that we shouldn't have been blitzing our 7th string safety...

Sensible dwags know we won, but for the refs. Mouth breathers...not so much.

Easy to be humble when you win.

I couldn’t disagree more. We had given up around 250 yards at that point. Keep doing what you are doing. He was never throwing a pick with no pressure. We rolled out a red carpet and gave them a TD and used hardly any clock. A stop and we win the game. Instead we unsuccessfully didn’t use any clock and kept the game going. Even if we didn’t fumble I hated the decision.
