After the fumble and targeting penalty the team didn't lose focus. In fact we played with even more determination. We are slowly taking on the personality of our head coach. Great to see!
The team played with poise and discipline in the face of adversity.

Agree. Well done by the players and the coaching staff. I'm guessing a previous coach would have been escorted off the field after that horrible targeting call.
When down 21-7, we stuck to the game plan to RUN the ball and didn't just pass it like crazy to play catch-up.
I just knew that we would lose once Gerry was ejected, but the offense had great T.O.P. and kept the ball out of Rosen's hands.

You had better win when your offense is on the field for over 16 more minutes than the other team's offense.
The 3rd quarter was just amazing. Who would've thought we would come out after halftime and play like that?
6-7 is not good, but at least the team ended on a high note that can push them through the offseason with some optimism for 2016.

Great building block for next year, stimulus for recruiting, and just good old optimism!
I have a better feeling about this team at the end of season than I've had about another in a very long time. It feels like the team is buying in to the coaches.
red rover 70, you have been getting drunk off the Kool-aid for awhile and have been almost too positive about this team at times...
I may not agree with or care for everything you say, but it's crazy fans like you that find the positive side of anything that helps make me optimistic about the future.

You know I've rustled a lot of people when I questioned the players and their non focus this year. I've been taught to air any problems. Getting any issues into the open allows an open and frank discussion about problems. It allows both parties to understand what exactly the problem is and what needs to be done to fix it. There is total accountability from that moment forward. I credit my Marine father for this approach to solving problems.
