Dumbest playcall of all time? UGA fans melting down

Kirby says it was there.

What a tool. Has no concept of risk/reward. Convert and you might have a chance to win the game. Fail and you lose. Brilliant.

I’m missing the open guy:

This disastrous UGA fake helped hand Bama the SEC title

 

[KronoGator]

It was there as long as Alabama flopped on the field.

Not only that but Fields is obviously RUNNING. He starts left, sees an end staying home, cuts back right. He doesn't look downfield at all. Unless he just Driskeled it.

There is a DEEP STATE in SEC football!

One of the dumbest calls in such a tight situation. I could see if you were losing, but again. Dumb call.

 

[TN G8tr]

If I didn't know any better that was more like Ray Goof and Kirby Dumb.

Another one for the record books happened in 2002. Marty Morningwheg, coach of the Lions at the time, in OT wins the coin toss, but takes the wind. The Bears get the ball and kick a FG. Game over.

Marty Morningwheg is on the list of worst NFL coaches of all time along with Rich Kotite and Ray Handley, precisely for things like that.

Kudos to you sir for joining the game management, risk/reward thinking team. I talk about it all the time regardless of the result of the play. it is why I so desperately wanted a coach who can manage the game b/c as that game showed, the difference in games like that can be so small, that every play truly counts. Look at how Bama blew the chance on their first drive of the game. managing situations is critical in games where the teams are almost equal.

Everything was against making that fake punt call, if he wanted to go for it then he should have left his offense on the field as they had been having success all game. It was a mind boggling bad decision which made it deliciously good for us. Did that UGA youtube guy have any more 30 year old coke to chug?

If they needed less than 5 yards, I could at least see the justification. 11 yards? It's a near-impossible pickup, especially on the ground.

I'm with Donkey, Fields never looked to pass. At all.

 

[Billgator]

Kirby blew it and could have stopped it. Blew their chances at SECC and playoff in one bonehead moment. Mark Richt 2.0

 

[Since65]

Well, of course Kirby is going to defend the call. I'm pretty sure even after all these years Doug Dickey would still tell you that "4th and Dumb" was a good call. Just because he tells you why it SHOULD have worked doesn't mean it wasn't still a bad call.

Smart defends fake, says Bulldogs deserve CFP

I was sitting back down right around the time the snap was being taken. I really thought they were just going for a 4 and 11. Never once have I thought it was a fake punt. Once they played it and Fields got stuffed, announcers calling it a fake punt, I was flabergasted at the stupidity. Who in that stadium was fooled? Only ones that got fooled are Kirby and co for thinking bama is ready to receive...

 

[EyeDocGator]

Compare UGA's disastrous attempt at a fake punt and Mullen's masterpiece of a fake punt against Vandy. We have the better coach. Once we get the players we will dominate the SEC.

Fify.
