Was considering a James Buchanan analogy, but I think you win.

Did that RB from Buffalo set some kind of record today?

So I haven't been able to watch the game until just recently, but based off stats I've seen and the last couple minutes of the half, some quick thoughts ...

We are VERY lucky to even be in this game right now, let along have the lead. First two TDs were one play drives off of big defensive/special teams plays. Offense has been inept until ...
Once again the offense plays very well at the end of the half.
Running game was unstoppable early. Why shy away from it? Martin was slicing that D to pieces.
I'm still not a fan of rolling Matt out. He's not all too accurate on the run. But if it helps the O line, then I guess it's OK.
BooBoo Gates is going to set some records for us.
Dwayne Woods is a human wrecking machine.
Having Chris Jones running after you has got to be one of the scariest sights one could ever endure.
Binky's got a shot at an NFL roster next year. I'm pretty sure Kamar will be on one.
Defensive line has regressed a bit from the beginning of the year. Everybody but Kevin Jones returns next year, so that should be a point of improvement. That being said, defensive line, even after regressing, is FAR improved from the defensive line last year.
We blocked a punt? Nice ... don't get to see too many of those.
You'd think playing around Bowling Green that Matt would be good at passing into the wind. But, it seemed like he was pretty much inept going into the wind.
Jury's still out on offensive playcalling in my book. It was great last week vs Ohio and this week, while not great, is OK given that we are down our top two tailbacks. Offensive playcalling was dreadful during the middle of the season. Offense had better improve a ton next year.

Looks like this is going to be a great second half ... GO FALCONS!

Lets get the Killer Bs involved (Beck & Bayer). Throw some to the middle of the field.

Stopped reading right here. Thanks for putting this nonsense first.

A) UB has a TD off an INT return.
B) BG's defense has forced a couple FG's, including one with a 3rd and 1 stop around their own 5.
C) Schilz made a couple mistakes into the wind, but has also thrown some pretty good balls.

This team is in a good spot thanks to working hard through a tough first quarter that included a nasty wind and a 10-0 hole. Now lets get a few scores with the wind and bring that defense we saw against Temple to go out a winner in 2011.

No prob TG ... as I said I didn't get to see up until the last bit but the stats look ugly. Defense / ST has been opportunistic though. And about all of those guys are back next year. That's a really good sign.

Oh ... and Brian is the best punter in the league I'm pretty sure.

I went back and read to be fair and you got awfully complimentary after that. Probably should have opened there. :wink:

Gonna get great field position here.

Nice job ST and D, great, great field position. Offense has to capitalize here.

When your fifth string running back can get ten yards .... that's a good sign! I do believe Pettigrew could be excellent in his senior year next year.
