Talk me down: Did we quit?

skymike · 10-11-2010, 04:56 PM

I said it on another thread. bad clock management. Why do we continue to call timeouts at the line of scrimmage. I know a lot of teams, do that as the prevailing wisdom allows, but it drives me bananas..... You always end up needing that wasted timeout at the end of the game.

We did not "quit," but our coach apparently thought it was third quarter.

I actually saw some rather vicious defense being played by us. Ask their Joe Schmoe QB how he feels this morning.

I think we need REGGIE! Trade those FG's and missed FG's for LEAPING TOUCHDOWNS.

It just didn't seem like we were prepared at all. Fine, we're not getting as many big plays this season, but don't turn the ball over and we still win.

Make a 29 yard field goal, and we're undefeated...... In a game of inches, you can't afford to give up ONE. They need to make a sticky of that, and post it on their freaking foreheads.

We didn't get outcoached. Arizona scored 30 points off of our offensive turnovers and mistakes. We played like doo doo. And we better get it together @ TB or we will be sitting @ 3-3 looking stupid

Didn't look like our Saints out there.
I knew i seen something different starting with the first game.. but hey.. a win is win right?
Luckily we're in the beginning of the season and have time to fix all this crap, we're going to get back our wounded and end the season with a bang.. i still say we're playoff bound.. beyond that? It's up to the football gods.

There's no excuse to not be in hurry-up mode at that point. As flat as they were, I would have tried it at the 10 minute mark.

We need to start running 2 minute offense with 14 minutes left on the clock. In the first quarter.

Looked to me like we got a nasty case of the "big head".

Looks like other teams has our offense figured out. How many times this game Drew looked down the field and no where to go. We end up dumping the ball off for little or no gain. And yeah, I don't no what they were doing at the end of the game. We really need to get it in gear. How much longer can we say, well its a long season we have X number of games left to improve. We need to start improving now, like I know we can. Lets crush the bucs next weekend, Who Dat!
