Helluva game

Good game gents. I predicted 31-21...was a point off on each team :)

Seriously though, you aren't far away (as if that isn't obvious). It was weird seeing Jake, because it looked like the playcalling handcuffed him a bit. Also, what was up with that attitude of Smith?

Good hard fought game....I think you'll make the playoffs as soon as your coach stops coaching "not to lose" and coaches "to win". Reminds me of Tressell at Ohio St. to be honest.

I agree entirely,Jake has had some bad performances, but he made some good throws today.I think your team had to at least TRY to pass the ball even if you end up eating it.

In this day and age you cannot win in the NFL with a run game alone except for a game here and there.

This "managing a game concept" is for rookies if your in a rebuilding year or back up QB's to win a game or 2 if your 1st QB goes down.

The play calling is way to conservative.

anyway best wishes and thanks for welcoming to your board.

Steve was angry for a few reasons. During the week, Gregg Williams said that the only way to keep Smith from being a playmaker, was to make sure he doesn't get up. I know he said he was joking, but honestly, that's not something you say in the NFL. That's taboo, and he should have known it.

Also, Darren Sharper hit him out-of-bounds in the first quarter, resulting in that personal foul. That pissed him off, and then, when Darren Sharper got up, he slapped Smitty on the helmet, which is entirely unsportsmanlike. That's why Fox and Smitty were in a rage at the point, both of them yelling on the sidelines. (And if I were Fox, I would've told that LJ to keep his damned hands off of me.)

But yeah, we had our foot on your throat, and we let it up... I'm not sure what happened, but for some reason we got away from the run-game. I know you can say because of the 8-man front, but D runs against that all of the time. Davidson just decided to do some different things, I guess, and that cost us.

Btw, this game proved Deangelo > than every other running back in the NFL. And your prediction of him running 49 yards was a joke...

man, I'll be honest; when you had 1st and goal from the 1 and then called the timeout and had to settle for 3...if you score there I honestly think we would've been too far behind and not enough momentum. That was a HUGE sequence.

    • For a 3rd year QB? That flies with the Teppers and makes the HC and GM look like fools.  Their fear is evident. Their careers are tied to making it work, it's ehy they signed on here and they are professionals who knows what kind of a situation they could potentially have on their hands if they are not calculating about popping up Bryce. I call BS to that sir. It's why every QB after Bryce couldn't make any other rosters past a PS spot...at best
    • Not just Dalton.   But the only real young arm they would let be seen the past 2 years was a really a bad Jack Plummer.  Who was super weak even for that tier  Can’t convince me how weak they made the atmosphere around Young hasn’t been intentional.     
    • Things of note: mentions he has six drops. Six. For all the people that don’t know what a drop is, he has six. That’s a long distance from the league leader at ten. (To be fair, pro football reference has him at seven, still not bad.  Plenty of others is that same range.  His drop % is 6.3, which is low.) Catchable ball success ratio: 83% which is great. Catchable being the key word.  Mentions his contested catch rate is low at 5/18 but that’ll get better I think when he can rely on muscle memory for routes, catches, etc and the game slows down for him
