Why must we always go for the kill shot instead of just picking up the first down! Last night's game was a total lack of discipline.

I'm kinda excited to see how he develops for 2014. Coach obviously believe in him.

I saw Hill reach out and not catch a ball that would have been very catch-able by Graham.

Drew has already taken the blame, but really with a failed o-line, I think he was the least of our problems tonight, and he sucked which goes to tell you how bad other aspects of our offense REALLY sucked including playcall.

I just don't see how/why you don't go to your "playmakers" on that play. I'm also confused why Graham and Sproles were used earlier in the season, at times, totally ad nausium, but suddenly they are simply NOT part of the playbook or very limited.

Watching the post-game interviews, Drew said he did not feel that the noise was a problem -- that they were communicating. He says they were prepared for the noise. That is interesting.

I wouldn't call us a 'soft dome team', we made mental mistakes and had sh*tty execution. A soft team would* have let Lynch and Gore run all over them.
