Lol.

Hey did White play? Just wondering. I didn't hear his number called.

Yes, only on special teams.

No contributions at WR

Some of the drops that happened were not blatantly bad - these were not butt naked wide open drops. Defender was quite close on a lot of them and the defensive contact played a factor. The real culprit is not the hands, it's the route running. Only Harris and the RB's seem to have much of it, as of late.

I just finished watching the game after reading the game day thread. It actually helped me understand the game as it developed rather than relying on some stupid commentators like Aikman and Buck.

Siemian passed the eye test again. The receivers failed theirs again.

I disagree that Adebo had bad positioning. He tripped and still almost had his hand on the ball. If not, that's likely an interception.

Kevin White was activated using the Covid-19 option (his two previous call-ups were using the PS rule); he had no targets on the day...

His positioning should have been on the outside shoulder of the receiver to push the WR off his route and into the net of zone coverage inside...

But you're right, he did an outstanding job of recovering from that detailed mistake and his trip...

It sucks, but I'll live with it and he'll be better and likely won't make that mistake come a more important game like in the tournament...

Deonte' is the smallest guy on the field, yet he's putting in work.

AK & Ingram are catching as many passes as our "regular" WRs.

Deflating.

Alvin calmly waves @ Trevor to throw him the ball ...
