[uncfan888]

Great breakdown by Bill Voth over at black & blue review. 

He goes over nine plays in the first half that really hurt us. Check it out if you like

Yeah we really beat ourselves that game. The second half looked ugly but we were absolutely the better team that game.

Cmon now. Everyone knows it was all due to.poor coaching and Shula. The players were perfect because even if they make mistakes it is still the coaches fault for not anticipating the future and planning for it in advance. The players can't help it.

Yikes that was a good break down of how execution was a problem.

Yep, it would have been great to have had those 2 interceptions, and the KB block in the back on Fozzy's TD wasn't even listed

Excuse me it was on page 2

I'm just going to assume the entire article is just the the word "penalties" in 128 pt font

Exactly.  Like I said before penalties, turnovers and special teams are costing us games.

That was probably the biggest fug up of the day.

At least you got this statement correct.

Damn I hate the look on that safety. Had Dickson open short and didn't throw it his way. The other part that seems to confuse me is that it looks like Cam was looking the way of the defender when he got past Oher and he still hung on to the ball. I guess he was expecting Norwell to pick up the block but that is an incredibly dangerous decision while in the end zone.

Oh yeah and on the Funchess drop we had a guy open short on the right that looks like he might have given us a 1st down. Given Funch should have made that catch but the other option looks to be an easy 1st. Meh, oh well HOPEFULLY they will view all this stuff, learn from it, and fix these issues going forward.

I noticed this as well, it seems he's looking to the left as well, I don't understand what was going through his head to where he doesn't see the Linemen coming and also doesn't see Dickson. Oh well. Keep Pounding.

Damn Cam had Benji open 20 yards down the field on that safety. Also he's gotta climb the pocket on that play.

The first half was a prime example of what can happen when you let a good team hang in there.  Should have been at least a 3 score game after the first.   The offense is its own worst enemy right now.  

This team has been a tale of two halves for a while now (that is almost 100% coaching); it just seems that they typically get up enough points so when the 2nd half collapse comes they can squeak it out.
