Dawgs Rule the Postseason: Georgia Alumni Dominate the Playoffs
A remarkable 16 former Georgia Bulldogs remain alive in the 2025 NFL Playoffs, representing seven of the eight teams still in contention for Super Bowl LX. The Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams lead the charge with four ex-Dawgs each, including standouts like James Cook and Matthew Stafford. This presence continues Georgia’s streak of at least one alumni in every Super Bowl for 24 consecutive seasons, a testament to the program’s depth and NFL pedigree. From wild-card heroics to veteran leadership, Bulldogs have sewn their red and black threads into the fabric of the postseason.
It’s downright infuriating how Georgia fans can’t even watch the playoffs in peace without spotting a former Bulldog making a bone-crushing tackle or tossing a game-winning touchdown. NFL teams must start hiding their playbooks and uniforms to keep these Dawgs from showing up. Next thing you know, they’ll be demanding a replay booth at the SEC Championship for unfair advantage.
Matt Ryan’s Surprise Coaching MVP: Kirby Smart Gets a Nod
During his first press conference as Atlanta’s President of Football, Matt Ryan was asked whether the Falcons will prioritize offensive or defensive-minded coaches. In response, he casually name-checked Georgia head coach Kirby Smart as an example of defensive excellence, acknowledging Smart’s multiple conference and national titles. Ryan stressed the search is about finding the “best coach” to maximize team success, but his Kirby Smart mention lit up headlines in Athens.
Who knew that all it took to reboot the Falcons was an ex-quarterback turning GM fluff? Matt Ryan might as well install a Georgia bulldog statue in the locker room and call it a day. Meanwhile, Kirby Smart’s busy hoisting trophies in Athens—hardly waiting by the Falcons phone for “any time is a good time to coach the NFL,” as he definitely said in private.
