And agreed... Play calling was terrible....

What I took from the game:

Offense is good!
Defense is bad!
Special teams coverage is bad!
Sproles is pretty awesome!

Guys, honestly, all of the positions that were supposed to be upgraded, didn't look any better than they did last year. I was looking for Charles Grant out there! Our secondary looked absolutely pathetic. By a measuring stick? They are the SB champions! If we can't judge ourselves by this game, which one can we? Tired of excuses on defense. Jenkins is a helluva player, but he is not the caller that Sharper is. Experience would have been a major factor tonight. I say sign him tomorrow.

Well as a result of the championship season we are strip happy. It's cool when it works. But if it doesn't, we look like goofballs. Offense looked good. 08 Drew looked to be back. Hitting receivers in stride and leaving it all on the field. Halftime he looking at the D pics like he f''' d up. WE GON BE FINE!!!! OLINE GOTTA GET PUSH and I would get joique for all the short yardage situations from now on.

Drew threw what should have been 3 INTs tonight. Just sayin...I love the man. He IS the team, but still...

Joique ain't gonna do any better behind that line than anybody else. The problem is the line, not the back.

And I apologize, but I can't accept this. We played terribly. And I have had it with the special teams screw ups. That touchdown, was a major factor in this game. Get it together, or find a coordinator that can... He's had his chance...

I agree the special teams coverage is still pretty bad. But that return was pretty lucky, he did a good job of staying on his feet.

BJ is a beast for the pack

Their defense sucks too. We were in the game until the last play. They also had no miscues on offense. I'm not bowing down to Mcfatrthy. We can beat them, it's not like they blew us out the water. I kinda espected it without Moore and Smith. They are game changers.

Dont forget we played the world champs on their ****ty field...almost tied it..i still say we go 13 and 3 ..our D will get better with Will back and gel as the season goes...this game is history..
