They lost their best OL and prolly their best DL before the season started. If you don't think that contributed then you are not very bright. Just ask Utah how pedestrian that big bad Alabama offensive line looked after they lost their best guy....
Fade, I thought you had retired from the forum after Georgia performed below expectations this year. J/K..... At least you all made it to a bowl game. We didn't seem to fare that well.
Anyways, Richt definitely don't have anything to worry about for the time being. However, I heard lots of fans were a little upset with him for not getting rid of Martinez. I have in laws from Georgia and they think Martinez needs to go and resents Richt a little for being too loyal. Have you heard any rumblings of this?
Please, his seat haD been warming since 2002, with a spike in 2005.
Of course it contributed greatly. I was posting on the board at the beginning of the season how those 2 injuries would keep them out of a NC. Are you going to tell me that is an excuse for getting embarassed by UF and Alabama when you were a pre-season #1? Every team has major injuries. UF lost a the best TE in college and the best WR in college was not at 100% most of the season. Their secondary was in shambles at the beginning of the year and they injuries to key linemen. I don't hear any excuses out of them.
presumably you have similar excuses for the entire 3 seasons he played at UGA.You are right those 2 injuries arent an excuse. But those were not the only 2 injuries we had. We have started 5 different left tackles. Here is who else we lost for the year

I assume you are talking about Stafford. BPV you and I have had discussions over this many times and we are never going to agree. He has alot of potential but to me it has not been fully reached as of yet. I have no excuses for his play but the guy has help his team win 29 games in 3 years. To me that is pretty impressive.
That is a big list. Is that out for the season or injured during the season? Also, how many of those guys were even in the rotation? No doubt, UGA had key injuries but that is a part of football. I personally think Richt has done a good job at UGA and last years pre-season hype was totally unwarranted and Richt should not be punished for it. However, Richt has a perception of losing big games and of "doing less with more." Do you really not think that a 6-6 or 7-5 season next year, after this year's disappointment, will not put him on the hot seat?
