sure would be nice to not see the other team pulling off the runs we can't seem to.

let's hope so. A lot of young guys, so plenty of space to grow.

Yep. We lost really good play makers who had a huge impact.

I'm also relishing in the fact that cheating ttun nfl players all suck!

Six of eight on third down.

Is that good?

So, will Matt Patricia get this D to perform to a Natty standard by time we hit the playoffs?

Yeah had to be because he’s now passed away but there was like 5 seconds of silence after UFM mentioned #7.

Sayins got more broken tackles than the running backs.

Ha, you’re actually not wrong.

It’s a real issue. This might get the staff to throw stupid money at that Canadian kid lol

Man they gotta figure out how to get by the first guy.

I think I said it last year, but Sayin moves like Burrow, surprisingly slippery. Not the same instinct to run but as evidenced by that first half, they're working on it.

Agreed. Good to see him figuring out when to run, and doing it.

Moves like Burrrow?

Not even close.

I like getting the ball to be honest. Every team takes the ball in the second half. If you elect to take the ball you can likely plan how the beginning of the game will go because you’ll know you’ll get the ball.

Plus my thinking is, the worst thing (typically, minus a pick 6 vs Iowa) that can happen is a punt. Whereas the worst thing on defense is the other team scores.

For sure understand getting the ball in the second half though.

At least 7 years.

Defense showing some holes and the run game has not been a priority in this game, but can't be too upset about that half.

Not a game most will be interested in but the BC/Va Tech game is being played in a Nor'Easter. Fuckery abounds.

A few random observations. Thin line between success and failure is pretty thin. This might look pretty different if Sayin doesn’t escape that one sack and scramble for the first down. But since he did, this little bit of running he now seems willing to do should be huge for the team going forward. Love that they’re using the middle of the field in the passing game and running out of wider formations. Also critical to future success IMO. I don’t like Nate Roberts much as a blocker, but he’s looked very smooth catching the ball and that’s a nice security blanket to have. I just have to laugh at punt returns: Even when the decision making is good, they can’t catch a break and get a good result.
