Somebody needs to step up and make a play on defense. Strip the ball, tip one at the line, somthing.

I'm on dial up tonight :( so I can't keep up, but I notice people with warnings that I don't remember before, are people acting retarded on here tonight or something?

We have to realize that Troy is an outstanding playmaker and a great runner. He currently lacks the vision to be a passing QB. He is out of his element in my opinion in how the gameplan has been put together for today. It is obvious that they have told him to stay in the pocket as long as possible.

The damn shame about all of this is that it is going to take this loss to get us to gameplan to use all our offensive weapons for the rest of the year when we should have been doing it all along.

A gameplan does not make reads, step up in pockets, block, or throw to open receivers.

Do you guys realize how many variations are possible on any given play depending on what the defense does?

Laying the blame entirely on execution is the easy way out. How can you defend the numerous situations where everyone is covered, or Pittman is swallowed up as soon as he takes the hand-off.

Why did we veer from the play-calling of our drive to end the first half? Why are we throwing on first down instead of sneaking Troy?

We have been a defensive giant for years. Not an offensive one. If it's the execution for several years in a row, then doesn't it suggest that at least some of it could be play-calling or coaching?

This is our first road game, against a team that's on a major roll, and has some great young athletes. My discussion on this thread has not even necessarily been about tonight, it has been about this season, last season, etc.

Some of you seriously need to chill. Dont get so damn offended, I am just talking.

We need to try to block a punt or something, because of offense is not going to get us down the field.
