We're not taking advantage of good opportunities. Should be ahead right now. Defense has been making a big play on each series so hopefully they can keep it up.

Is there a team playing in a bowl game that has a worse Red Zone scoring percentage (touchdowns) than BG?

Unless I misread it, BG is under 50 percent in scoring TDs in Red Zone chances, with two more misses today.

I blame poor play calling.

Today's very predictable play calls, especially on first down, haven't been any better.

I guess I was hoping after they went hurry up in the one series, that maybe we'd see something different.

Guess not.

I don't know about bowl teams but we were 118 out of 120 about a month ago when I looked it up.

Its very effident that we have a three-year starter at QB that the coaching staff doesn't have confidence in throwing the ball down field. All the passing plays we are currently running are designed to minimize the potential for a turnover. I realize we have a great defense, but at some point the offense has to make plays to win a game.

Lets see if we make any second half adjustments on offense.

Just saw FalconFreak.


Now their QB will have something to think about when he drops back.

I'm not sure what I enjoyed more...the fact that we caused that fumble and scored, or watching 290 lb Chris Jones run with the football

What the hell is wrong with our punter? He's gone from one of the best to one of the worst all of a sudden. Why the change in style of punting, too? Whatever they're attempting to do with him, it has failed. He's been very off in this game.

Maybe that safety will wake up our offense when we get the ball back. But first we need another stand by our Defense

We're calling plays like we are up 14 in the 4th quarter.

Clawson is so conservative with a leads it drives me nuts... and never makes much sense. If you get an even bigger lead you can take more chances with Blitz ect... giving your D more of a chance to make plays
