To actually organize and condense the demise of a once aspiring football team; no BS, I like that!

Is Pegues catching enough hell for this? I won't blame just one play in that debacle, but that play was deadly. If he'd have just gotten his *** to class or whatever it was he was suspended for, maybe that doesn't happen.

6) Zero. Passes to our tight ends.

Tight end?

True, but give us credit for breaking out the little used TIGHT END REVERSE.

Honest to god, have you ever seen another team run the tight end reverse. I seem to remember us running it a few years ago.

Was I the only one that thought he should have received the hand-off behind the QB instead of in front of him? In front, the DE was able to clearly see the hand-off and we left no room for Green to maneuver. Behind, would have disguised the hand-off better and would have allowed Green more room to make someone miss or get enough steam up to break a tackle.

The West Coast Offense calls for that handoff to be made in front of the quarterback. We are not changing it. Period.

trying to sum up that big pile of stink we all saw Saturday.

2 - the number of picks we had in the end zone, allowing us to keep the score at a respectable 22-14.

You're the first one that I've seen mention this and not only did we not get a sack, but we also barely got a hand on the m'fer all night. We hit him hard a couple times but for the most part, he had all night to throw the ball. The pass rush was pathetic.

Concerning #2, I don't think there are many teams that have an outstanding backup punter. However, I also don't think there are many teams that would have someone as bad as McAdams on their active roster, much less starting for a couple years.

I think I saw that you guys got 15 hits on our QB. That is partly why he went 14/40. He did get the ball off everytime, however, without taking a sack.

that is a stat to be added. make that #13.
