Ow ... that one hurt. Gotta give them credit though, great play call and excellent downfield blocking after the catch.

Well, that'll end this one.

Take your pessimism and negativity elsewhere globe. I've seen how these comments add up quickly on these game threads and it's really depressing and pointless.

I think it was kdog who asked why anyone has optimism re this team....I'm optimistic.. we have more athletic ability on the defensive side of the ball than we have seen in the past....I really like our DB's. We have some nice skill position guys...our QB isn't consistent and the line still needs to improve though...they need to improve a lot.

The talent is there can the coaches pull it together? I think Clawson has a year...two years tops... to make it happen

Completely agree. This game has been pretty awful. As for week games, I still stand behind the logic, but this type of play will lead to less fans and less recruits. I think week games are done with the idea for growth....maybe we need to ensure we have a good product before we try to grow it. As for the D we have more talent then I can remember on defense with 3 studs but we still can't tackle and are never in the right place. Schilz is an awful decision maker and I have 0 confidence in claswson. I would honestly inquire about Stud in the offseason to see if he was interested. This is not fun to watch.

On a positive note I think that Schillz has played a pretty solid game so far. He doesn't seem to have happy feet and appears more comfortable in the pocket...when he has had time

Offensive Line needs to figure this rush out

Others pessimism and negativity are welcome, hilarious...

I really wish we had that pick...

[kdog27]

I just want us to once come out and look like we didn't take a nap at halftime.

I think the ESPN crew broke that TD down well...Foster bit on the run...and you can't blame him for that because the front 7 isn't getting it done... so we got burned

I have not watched super close but I think he is one of the worst QBs I have seen in terms of decision making, he puts his WRs in positions where they clearly can't make the necessary plays. It could be because of the line but on 3rd and 13 why in the world are you throwing to the 3 yard out?

I think since the season is lost we need to rotate QB's and see what we have.... Before we let our best QB Transfer

#62 was holding Woods on that one

I really wish we had that pick...

Take your pessimism and negativity elsewhere.

Nice knock down defense.!
