The good:
We needed to exploit SC’s poor pass defense with downfield throws and we did it in a big way behind gutsy play from Mertz and gutsy calls from Billy. Receivers and TEs rose to the occasion with clutch plays all over…
Smack is saving us on STs. The block was just a good play by Carolina.
The bad:
OL is going to get Mertz hurt if they don’t get it together, and the run game is sputtering now that Johnson and Etienne are probably playing hurt. Bye week is huge for pass pro and run blocking to improve. SC has poor run defense and we did nothing.
Defense has taken a step back with missed tackles, lack of control up front, and giving up explosive plays, but unlike the last couple years in games like this they did get some key stops. They’re young and still learning. Gonna take lumps. Just lucky Mertz and the receiving corps balled out in a way we haven’t seen in a minute.

This week Mrs G and I celebrated #31 and she decided we should go this weekend to an Arts festival in Blue Ridge, Ga. I figured WTH and off we went (I DVR’ed the game, of course). By 2:45, we were both ready to hit a brew pub where we saw, ultimately, the first half before heading off for an early dinner.
After watching the 2nd half at home, I decided to check in here. If anyone wants a good laugh, start at around page 7 and read some of the most moronic posts ever made on GC. Yes, the defense struggled at times (in a hostile environment) but ultimately came up strong on their last two possessions. The offense was outstanding.
How good was the the offense you ask? We had almost 500yds. Oh and our “lousy passing game?” Yeah 423 yards. Yes, that’s a “4” at the beginning. Were we awesome? No, but we won an SEC road game in a tough environment against a decent team.
We still have a long way to go, but let’s enjoy a solid victory. Remember this was a team picked to finish 2nd to last in their division. As of today, we actually could still finish 1st. Let’s be happy for a change. Two weeks from today we may have cause to be pissed, but enjoy today for what it is.

Watched entire glorious game before reading this thread starting on page 5. ""Moronic" hardly does some posts justice.

Can he really be serious with this series of posts? My goodness. Enjoy a great comeback win, something I doubt anyone on this board believed would happen with 5 minutes left.

Um, the Music City Miracle and the Cal - Stanford marching band fiasco come to mind.

Dumb? That post is what lit a fire under Billy's ass and got him to be an aggressive play caller today. Your welcome.

You simply can't be this stupid, so I'm going to assume you are drinking. Every coach in America aside from Mario Cristobol would have done the same thing as Napier. You're avoiding the possibility of a blocked punt BECAUSE ITS A FREE KICK. The likelyhood of a shanked punt is zero as there is no block attempt coming on a free kick. On the otherhand attempting a punt up 4 points gives a higher probability of a block, shank, or return for TD....especially considering the coach on the other side of the fields last name is Beamer. Napier was 100% spot on and you are just embarrassing yourself.

Yeah, I was wrong with the prediction, and admitted as much after the game. I'll defer to you next time since your obviously always a 100% right with your prediction.
