Bama lost because the starters went down. The backup's competency is a different topic.


Every team needs backups to step up when something happens to the starters. Sometimes they step up, sometimes they don’t. For bama, they didn’t. For uga, they did.

When your starting QB gets hurt and your team is better off it's a lucky break that he got hurt. You're trying to use something fortunate for Georgia as a bad thing.


This is what we were waiting for!

“Your backup was really good, so you cannot count that one.”

Unlike UGA, Bama didn’t have a quality backup qb in 2021. Bama got lucky young didn’t get hurt.

The topic is how they earned it.


Earned it. That's the important word here.
Georgia earned it.
Alabama did not.
Georgia had quality depth.
Alabama did not.
I'll go a step farther...Alabama lacked heart.
Good teams overcome adversity. There are legendary sports stories of teams that are knocked to the mat but rebound to win the game, of athletes who limp onto the field and to lead their team to a game winning touchdown. It takes courage. It takes heart.
In 2021, the wheels fell off of Alabama after the SEC Championship game due to lack of depth, and the team lacked the heart needed to overcome it.

Do you think starters play every snap? Breaking news-- they don't.


9 of your starters played every snap.

Georgia was built for the long run. They had quality depth and took advantage when the wheels came off of Alabama in the 4th quarter of the national championship game.



Odd how the quality depth didn't show up in the first game when Bama wasn't as depleted. Or, how the wheels fell off when Bama was without 2 receivers that Georgia never could cover, or the top 3 corners being out.

Odd how heart seems to be determined by which players are there and which aren't.

You were waiting for an injury that helped your team that just adds to the injury luck factor? Ok.

This is unrealistic, but it also applies to every team, which is where a hypocrite like you really struggles.

Usually when a team loses its Qb/WR1 combo, like uga did with JTD/Pickens, that’s not a good thing.

If it happens, You better have a backup QB and backup WR capable and ready to go like uga did.

Bama wasn’t equipped to deal with such significant personnel issues. Even you know that.

How did that work out for you?
33-18. That's how it worked out.
It's a real shame Alabama lacked quality backups or the heart to overcome injury. A real shame. Bammer has lost its grip on top of the college football mountain.
Slipping.
Sliding.
And making excuses.
A real shame.

For Georgia, it was a great thing. He wasn't a good QB. That's why he didn't retain his job after he was good to go.

Georgia had to deal with an injury that likely removed a player that they wouldn't have won a NC with as well as good overall injury luck to the rest of the team. I wish Bama would have had to deal with that.

How many teams have lost 2 receivers with 1100 and 1600 yards to season ending injuries in the last 10 years?

Obviously an attempt to cover the embarrassment of your last comment.

Why is that odd? Heart has to be shown by the players that remain. The players no longer there are...no longer there.
You've totally lost your grip on this argument. Give up. Surrender. You are Custer riddled with arrows at Little Big Horn. It's over. You lost.

Answer the question. How did it work out for you?
How did the lack of depth work out for you in the national championship game?
Which team was built for the long run and which team ran out of gas by game 15???
Answer the question. Don't cover up. The answer is 33-18. That's the answer. See if you have the courage and heart to answer properly.
You don't.

Lots of teams have lost multiple key players, not just Bama. This even includes UGA, though you do some serious mental gymnastics to deny that reality.

I am not even upset about how over the top anyone with “dawg” in their username is now days. We can’t expect 40 years of frustration and the memories of repeated bludgeoning to be erased overnight. Heck, many of them weren’t even alive then. It is a process. I expect they will get better at winning.

Do your thing Dawgs. Fight any perceived slight you might feel.

Pure silliness. The 2021 UGA O would have been badass with him and Pickens throwing the ball around at 100%. They were big reasons why UGA 2021 was hyped up. It was a very big deal both got hurt.

That's a different topic than having the starters not go down.

Georgia wasn't built to cover Metchie/Williams. You're bragging about depth when it was injury fortune/misfortune that determined the game.
