Frustrating start but as others in this thread indicated, I kind of expected...that is just what Sparty does whenever we play them. But all in all, I think that was a great performance and a much needed test heading into the bye week. Sparty has a VERY good defense and to run the ball like we did on them was extremely impressive. Thankfully the coaches did not abandon the run and trusted our OL and Dobbins to start breaking some runs open, which we did. There were some breakdowns on defense that need to be corrected, but there were some phenomenal plays as well...you can tell how fast opposing QBs know they have to get the ball out with the pressure we are getting and even then, we have guys getting home regularly. Another damn good game from Baron Browning, beyond impressed with his improvement, he is a difference maker. And Wade had an AMAZING game tonight, this guy is just an unreal talent and as physical as they come.
Fields had an alright game and he is doing so well with his raw talent and athleticism, but I feel like he is still lagging on his reads quite a bit. Not really complaining though, he is doing a great job, just pointing out that he still has plenty of room for improvement imo and that is kind of scary.
Bottom line, we beat Sparty by 24 points and there is no scenario where that doesn't make me smile. Damn good job Bucks and get some much deserved rest and heal up.
EDIT: That call on Fuller's pick six was such utter bullshit, I don't know in what planet you could call that a "blindside block". Beautiful return for a TD, should have had 40+ tonight to say the least.
