Anyone else think Georgia will lose again in 2014?

Not sure who will defeat Georgia in 2014, but the Bulldogs are playing like the team will lose another
Brandon Wilds moves on the Bulldog D.
Georgia surrendered 38 points to SC. 
game, or maybe two.
Convention holds that Georgia has an easy schedule the rest of the way. Or at least that is what Gary Danielson of CBS indicated when he tried to blunt the blow of Georgia's loss to SC.
South Carolina would benefit from a Georgia loss Should the Gamecocks stumble again, a Gamecock loss would not sting as much, in the SEC-E race, if Georgia drops another game.
Georgia is just not as good as billed. Maybe the big win over Clemson propelled Georgia upward in the pundits' minds. But maybe that win was over-valued.
Tennessee fumbled away its shot at beating Georgia, in Athens Saturday. And if The Vols' starting QB, Justin Worley, did not have to sit out a few series, with an elbow injury, his team may have pulled it off.
And if Todd Gurley is not able to play, Georgia will be average, at best.
Even if Gurley stays healthy, he has to carry such a heavy load, can he continue to be effective down the stretch, as he tires? Gurley IS the Bulldog offense. Not sure if there is a plan B. 
Georgia Coach Mark Richt may be showing that he's running out of gas. There seems to be a strong resistance from a coach, and the college football media, to admit a coach's run is over. See Virginia Teach and Frank Beamer. 
Richt has had some great years at Georgia. He is a very good coach, or has been. If he ends up leaving Georgia, he could go with pride, and a sense of accomplishment.
Too many times the suggestion that a program should end a relationship with a coach, is met with: Who can you get to replace him?
South Carolina replaced Lou Holtz with Stever Spurrier. Duke replaced Ted Roof with David Cutcliffe. Texas A&M replaced R.C. Slocum with Kevin Sumlin, and so on...
Georgia is a big time program in the SEC. fans have every right to be expecting more if Richt stumbles this year.
