towel after one loss to a pretty good team? That's a loser's mentality, and I'm glad we don't have guys like you on our team.
From my standpoint, I am not happy anytime we lose, but we are not good enough to go undefeated. WHO IS? Lots of good teams lose every single Saturday.
Yup, we laid an egg in Atlanta, but we are still a very good team. We have good coaches and players who are capable of beating anyone. We're 4-1 and in the top 25 for crying out loud. There are 8 games left to go and every single preseason goal is still left on the table.
Quitters please get lost and stay lost. We don't need you. I'll see the rest of you (at least 80,000) on Saturday.

I know everytime we lose its the coaches fault and when we win the players get credit. I understand that. But at some point you have to realize that coaching wasnt the problem saturday. The coaches may have not said the right thing in the pregame speech that got the players pumped up and excited to play. With all the Ga players on the team that the game "meant a lot to" they didnt need the coaches to pump them up. Just like they shouldnt need the coaches to pump them up for this weekends game.

Why do we have a breakdown each week on ST????
Oct 1, 2007, 10:55 AM
[ in reply to One person missed his assignment on the punt block..... ] |

Again I don't anyone fired but coaches are to blame for weekly errors in the kicking game. They teach them, practice them, and put them in the game. If a player can't get the job done then find a player on a 100 player roster than can get the job done.

And we are 4-1 b/c of the competition. If you think we can beat VPI, Maryland, BC, usc, and even wake with those errors you are crazy. Didn't TB say himself that ST errors were his biggest concern??? Geez wake up!!

Thanks for the info. Now can you also go down through the rest of the top 25 and tell me if they've had any blocked punts or kickoffs returned, or my favorite, missed FGs? Thanks in advance.

I guarantee you that the top 10 teams don't have these breakdowns EACH WEEK. This is not a new development. WAKE UP...TB and his staff needs to do a BETTER JOB COACHING. AGAIN I don't want them fired...I WANT THEM TO DO A BETTER JOB. IF you think they are perfect then you are STUPID!

Have I said differently? All I'm saying is is ain't time to act like a baby and jump ship... but I'm not trying to stop anyone who wants to do that if you get my drift.
And by the way, we don't have "these" breakdowns "every" week. Do we play perfect every week? No way, but who does? Even top 10 teams have some sort of breakdowns every single week. Go ask the 50% top ten who lost this past weekend. There are no "perfect" coaches.

for at least the last 4 years. I definitely put some of the blame on the players, but when it happens year after year after year, that's coaching.

can't think of one right off hand where special teams led directly to the loss
04
GT
03
Didn't WFU return a kickoff or punt when they jumped out to the huge lead.
This doesn't count games that we lost like Md in 06 where our lack of kickoff coverage gave them the ball at the 40 on their winning FG or the special teams debacle at Doak or the bad snap and blocked punt against FSU or Furman returning a kickoff for a TD that was called back or NSCU kickoff return.

Tthe truth is we have a special teams breakdown each week. Other teams across the country can play error free on special teams so it's got to be coaching. Also the OL was not ready to play. I thought Brad Scott said we have more talent than ever?? Again, I don't want anyone fired but some of saturday was coaching. If not then why do we have coaches?????? They need to take some blame.

[ in reply to Lots of good teams made a ton of mistakes on Saturday... ] |

If they are not responsible for the play of the players then why do we have them? We have weekly errors on special teams, I'm sorry to offend you or TB but that's COACHING!! I don't want anyone fired, I just want TB, Rob Spence, Brad Scott, and Powell to do a BETTER JOB!!! Why can't we hold them accountable?

Anytime any team loses the ultimate accountability falls on the coaches. Go ask the 5 teams in the top 10 who ALL lost to inferior teams this past Saturday.

always mean "out-gameplaned" necessarily. I think sometimes what they mean is that the coaches didn't instill enough discipline on week-in, week-out basis to keep the team from making the "little" mistakes that can make all the difference. Some of the missed FG's were fairly long - but one was from a more reasonable distance -the one just before the half. You throw in that with a roughing the punter, a kick return fumble, a blocked punt and you've got a situation where, had we played clean MERELY on special teams alone (forget the offense for a minute) then we could have won in an ugly manner 9-6 or 6-3 - but at least it would have been a win.

We outcoached the other guys?
Since 2000, our coaching has been good enough to land us in the top 25 programs in the country.
I want to do better than that, but being in the top 25 does not reflect whatever it is you think you're seeing.
Speaking of the top 25, we're in it right now and have 8 games left. If you quit, then so be it. You've given up; we got you already.
You might as well find something else to do with your time. We won't miss you.

Some of you guys really microanalyze things huh?
They just played in the ACCCG last year and have most of those guys back. At the end of the year, GT will be considered a pretty good team just like they are about every year. There's no reason to assume we should be able to line up and beat them every single year.
We ain't a top 5 or 10 team right now, and even if so, those guys lose sometimes too.

on the road vs. having several of those players back with a week's rest at home. You can't compare the results of those 2 games. I think the motivation of GT's defense(revenge) after last year's embarrassment at the time of Clemson played a pretty big role Sat.
