Group think...

I freaking love this defense. When was the last time we saw this kind of stifling D?

Props to place kicker getting it done.

Offense is coming together. Love the running game at this point.

Play calling is improving with fewer WTF moments.

Absolutely. A solid running game and a stifling D. Are we sure this is BG we're talking about? Not to mention we've outscored the last 3 opponents 109-30. Great momentum to have in the teeth of our conference schedule.

I wish we utilize play action more.

Over the last 6 quarters we have physically stomped the hell out of two conference foes up front on both sides of the ball. We haven't had that kind of team since....1994?

I will own up to the scathing comments I made a few weeks ago. While I still believe they were right at the time, the offense has really improved in the last few weeks. They haven't stretched the field a lot, and they don't need to. They just needed to do it enough to make their opponents drop into coverage.

I've more or less said this before, but I'll say it again. There is really only one defense in this conference that can stop a power run game with their secondary dropped into coverage and that's ours. If our offense can do what it did today every week, we should run the table.

I have to give props to the coaching staff for getting it together. Hopefully, they can continue to find seams, and keep rolling.

If we continue to play at this level the rest of the way, we'll be playing in Detroit. This D is knocking the snot outta people and the O is really starting to gel. The running game is a thing of beauty.

Maybe I can find a cheap flight to Boston? I wish.

I have to eat crow as well. The team has found their identity. This offense is the same one that Clawson ran at Richmond...line up, power football and good short passes. I like what I'm seeing, finally.
