Georgia's faithful can't agree on where this is headed.

Kirby Smart's year 11 (2026): 2-0, behind Mark Richt's 11-3 in the same spot.

Most Georgia fans liked what they saw — but a real minority isn't convinced.

Billion degrees , traffic , game was over after the first drive .. people should get paid to stay that late lol

Georgia's top-6 recruiting class signals SEC dominance.

coaching decisionEarly signal — few voices

fans believe Kirby Smart is using more aggressive play-calling

Considering this is the second time this season and more importantly the second time ever Kirby has covered a >40 point spread. It’s quite out of character for this program.

If I’m not mistaken, this is the FIRST time this has happened in Kirby’s tenure as head coach. He just couldn’t hold our boys back.

job securityLimited signal that season

fans believe Mike Bobo is a liability who will hurt the team's chances of winning

It don't make a damn what you say or what you think the bottom line is as long as he's got Mike bobo's offensive coordinator Georgia I ain't going to win s***.

Mike Bobo was 74-31 under Richt as OC. Why did we hire that back? Childhood friendship driving us back to multiple loss seasons?

injury availabilityLimited signal that season

fans believe Georgia's offense is underperforming and not the reason for the team's losses

The reason Georgia lost the sugar bowl is because of the defense. Go back and watch that game, chambliss had all day in the backfield.

The team put up 39 points in the playoffs. Our defense lost it’s pass rush to injury, and Trinidad Chambliss was able to go god mode on them. Out not winning a playoff game isn’t on Bobo.

player performanceOne fan's take

One fan believes Georgia's tight ends are among the best in college football

Not to mention our unicorns of tight ends that we have. We have the greatest tight end room in college football there's no argument there.

player performanceOne fan's take

One fan believes Gunner Stockton is being unfairly criticized by media and fans who prefer QBs with Manning in their name

The media doesn't like Gunner because he's a grass roots country boy with traditional values. Sports media is to a large extent Liberal, Woke, Communist...all you have to do is look at the UGA football coverage that our land grant university gets from the Atlanta Journal newspaper complex. I love and deeply respect Gunner Stockton.

fans believe Georgia's offensive line lacks SEC-level experience

If the Offensive Line doesn't show massive improvement by next Saturday, we are going to get pantsed by Tennessee. Our biggest question mark this entire off-season has been the OL, and they are not looking like a unit that can compete in an SEC schedule.

This Oline plus Stockton is just such a terrible combo when it comes to downfield/intermediate passes. I’m really scared about this offense against SEC competition.

For Georgia to get where they want to go the offense needs to be more electric.
