The fact that this year's Georgia game turned out nothing like that year's game is fine by me. That loss hurt much worse. Pick six to start the game? That really quieted the Tiger Stadium atmosphere quickly.

As I've said in several threads, it isn't as bad. In '08, the entire situation was awful so it was just terrible from start to finish. This defense just makes inexperienced mistakes. Let's not forget, though, that when their backs were against the wall a drive before when the entire Score Board was saying it was over, they got the stop they needed. The next time they didn't. It happens. Georgia scoring is not surprising against this defense.

I just remember seeing how dysfunctional everyone was in '08, the players included. It's like no one had any idea what they were supposed to do. I'd rather see younger guys messing up trying to execute the plan than veteran talent messing up everything with a scheme that couldn't stop a peewee team from looking like they were the Saints offense.

It had talent, but no coaching. That is way better than coaching with no talent.

How does this make any sense? Do you remember what that talent did? Matt Stafford was literally sitting on the sidelines in Tiger Stadium having laughs and relaxing in mist all game. It's much better to have inexperienced talent developing than talent that is completely incompetent. That's why 5 star athletes go to colleges and end up busts. In college, talent is developed in 99% of cases. People like Manziel or Gurley come along, but they're rare. This defense isn't worse, and the talent is definitely there. It's just a bunch of inexperienced players thrown in all at once so it looks worse.
