Next day...

I don't feel as terrible as I did last night surprisingly. We were the better team, better prepared, but we gave the game away.

The targeting was not intentional but it was the correct call, we shouldn't have tried to block the punt, and that was the difference in the game. We were holding them to under 5 yards a play with Wade and were giving up 9 a play without him. The game changed immensely on that call.

Justin had thrown 1 INT all year but threw 2 last night. From now on my #1 goal in my "plan to win" is to win the turnover battle because we won up front on both sides but still lost.

We should be really good next year though. 3 OL return, Justin's back, WR is stacked, TEs are back, and RB is very solid. On defense we will return Cooper, Togai, Harrison, Smith, Garret, and we will get Vincent back too. LB we will return Werner, Borland, and Browning as well. DB we get Proctor, Riep, and Cam Brown back. It's a big time long shot but if we get Wade back which I think he should we will be elite on defense again. Overall we should have a FILTHY offense and still a top 15ish defense.

Cheer up guys. The boys fought like crazy and did the best they could.

The two biggest calls by the officials were overturns by the replay booth. One I still say was correct by the letter of the law, if not by the spirit of it. The other was just fucking wrong, and took a huge momentum changing TD off the board when the Bucks really needed it. That was brutal.

Still, in spite of those calls, we did ourselves no favors in the red zone. The first one, however, was hindered by another momentum-killing replay review. The other two were our own damn fault. Dobbins drops a walk-in screen pass - perfect call against their blitz. The other Dobbins drop was made more difficult by Fields, who seemed to get too excited and threw it early and long. A second later he could've lobbed into JK's hands when he was standing in the end zone.

31-0 was easier to take. It was apparent early on the Bucks weren't winning that one. This time the better team lost.

The reason is that you are intentionally being obtuse. Wade did NOT target Lawrence's helmet. If he had, he would have hit him two feet higher. He hit the guy in what would have been his center mass, but Lawrence lowered his head.
