ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! What a crazy game! And I would not have been upset if the Dawgs had won.
I do think that Hurts may not be the first string QB after tonight!
 
If Georgia ever goes, Georgia will lose. All Georgia sports does is choke choke choke choke and choke. It doesn't matter the coaches, it doesn't matter the talent, number of highly rated recruits or stars. It will always FAIL in Georgia.
Unfortunately we've had years of practice starting back when the Braves couldn't get it done. Just like my Capitals, its semi-painful...
 
That freshman has a better arm. And a bit more mobile, IMHO. He’s a dual threat and can finish drives.

The blown call on the punt block was huge. If anything it was a false start and not offsides. Then the missed face mask that would have given Georgia a first down at mid field. Then the absolute pathetic back to back funky wildcat formation calls. Georgia lost their aggressiveness and became predictable, that ultimately cost them the game
This is exactly right. Sure Bama changed up their strategy, and it was effective. But UGA didn’t alter their offensive strategy at all. It’s quite astounding that they don’t have any quick slants or bubble screens in their package. They’ve got plenty of 12 step drop-back sacks and wild dog TFLs, though.
 
Georgia got too conservative in the 4th and was playing not to lose instead of playing to win. I'd rather lose trying to go for the knockout blow than to just try to run the clock out and hold on to win. Rough year for Georgia fans with the Falcons losing the Super Bowl the way they did, and now Alabama coming back to beat the Bulldogs. Maybe the Falcons can get back and win the Super Bowl this time.
 
When you go into the January thread ands it's like a comic-con nerd fight in there, it's time to get out quickly! :)

If Georgia was playing not to lose, it didn't go well for them !

Yeah that happens all too often. I hate it. I was pulling for Georgia, but I didn’t really have a dawg in the hunt. I yell at the tv when I see teams playing not to lose.
 
Anyone but the Patriots.
Patriots are like Alabama to me. I don’t hate either team, but they win all the time and it’s nice to see some other teams win. Makes things more interesting.

Patriots are the dook basketball of the NFL. Belichick=K. Brady=Laetner. Grock and Edleman=Allen, Reddick, Collins, Wojo, and Hurley.

It just baffles me when teams play nearly an entire game and are in position to win against the Alabama’s and the Patriots and they don’t finish the game. They go conservative and play that crap not to lose style of ball. Granted Alabama and the Patriots are good, but if you have you foot on their throat, finish them off.

They got further than they did with Richt. He was a good example of wasting talent not Smart.
 
UGA had no answer for the flying Hawaiin. 20 points should have won that game. Jalen Hurts wasn't going to score 3 TD's. Nick Saban won that game for Alabama. That's why he's the GOAT

It baffles me how many of these really big games feature a substantial discrepancy in the score during early portions of the game, yet they curiously end up going down to the wire.

Yeah, the pattern is ripe .... For cold snap, warm up , rain! That's winter in the South! The big storm Friday looks great ! St Louis Slammer and I get a squall line!
 
I guess what happened in the past is relevant in the Jan thread, but I really just care if we're going to see snow anytime soon.

Analysing the past is part of forecasting the future. It can be lengthy sure but very necessary and good discussion not to mention when you have individuals that have conducted that much research, it sure makes it difficult for anyone to question their credibility when they start discussing storm threats.

It's my fault, it all started when I posted my H5 anomalies evolution for big RDU snowstorms post yesterday. It probably should have gone in a separate thread, but I thought most of the discussion was still great and appropriate but now it's time to move on.
I have no issue with the discussion or being in that thread, especially right now plus analysing the past is vital to know what we need to look for in search of that elusive Southern winter storm.

Idk what's so different about the NAO now vs what was observed in the mid-late 1990s, it's as if the same mechanisms are at work now as were in place then...
 
Thinking about those leftovers I have from 42nd Street Oyster Bar for lunch today. Making me hungry.
 
Idk what's so different about the NAO now vs what was observed in the late 1980s to early 1990s as you so keenly pointed out. Perhaps it's a repeating pattern that isn't being influenced by the background changing climate at all. That's actually a point I hadn't really considered but seems quite logical. Perhaps another 1950 to 1970s period is right around the corner...
JB has been on the side of global warming and cooling phases that span about 30 years. Maybe there's a correlation?
 
I see Panthers fired OC Mike Shula and QB coach Ken Dorsey.... not sure I agree with this I mean the offense has sputtered but I'd lay more blame on poor QB performance and no receivers.

Cam is inconsistent. When he's on he's on. But they do need help with receivers and running backs.

I noticed in using a longer dataset that the NAO tendency (more positive or negative) was related to the phase of the AMO. The NAO trended negative over the course of the warm phase of the AMO and vis versa, however it has trended positive anyway since 2012 in spite of the AMO remaining +

Panthers have a problem developing talent once they get it... maybe it is a QB coach and OC issue to a degree. But management has made some bonehead decisions letting players go over the years too. Time to rebuild completely I guess, I don't see us competing for titles in the near future until things settle down

And their Offensive line. Cam has taken some big shots starting with the Super Bowl and continuing on.
Agreed but as brick stated Cam is inconsistent, at times dropping dimes then misses open receivers.... so who knows maybe new coaches can bring some life back to the offense.

Btw dude, I just wanted to let you know I really respect your opinion and I fully recognize your intelligence and knowledge on this topic. You're likely twice as smart as I am, so don't take anything I've said as disrespect. Do you ever talk to Gary about the NAO? Back when I was there he really wasn't that researched on the topic so I'm wondering if he or anyone else over in MEAS has become more of a subject matter expert on those topics since I was there?
I've seen a few presentations that have covered this topic in Austin and I'll have to review those and the notes I've taken but as far as I know Lackmann hasn't covered it but Dr. Robinson may have. I certainly think the decreases in Greenland land ice may have contributed but it's debatable which mechanisms and why they've amplified the long term trend in spite of favorable interdecadal forcing. I personally think if we manage to get a NINO coupled with an EQBO near the end of this solar minimum over the next several years that we could see another comparable negative stint as was observed in 2009-2011...
 
They tried to change Cam from run fist to a pocket oriented pass first qb. That seems to have created a lot of inconsistency with him. He will never be a great qb in terms of his accuracy or ability to "see the field". If you notice, a lot of his passes get released late, but he makes up for it with arm strength. They should turn him loose and let him run all he wants. That is his strength. Now, it might be too late. He's taken a lot of big hits, and I'm not sure he can continue to absorb that kind of punishment. But he's never going to be a great pocket passer either. idk
