Where is our rush?

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:22 PM PST reply actions

New game plan for defense: Let’s try actually wrapping guys up and form tackling.

by The Hombre on Nov 22, 2008 1:22 PM PST reply actions

Whoa… that was Trevor Guyton on the field.

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:23 PM PST reply actions

Have we blitzed once yet?

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:23 PM PST reply actions

Can't expect too many of those

Gotta score with that

by Tizoc on Nov 22, 2008 1:24 PM PST up reply actions

referring to our offense

by Tizoc on Nov 22, 2008 1:25 PM PST up reply actions

No way we score from here… not with Riley with a 30 pass efficiency rating. We’re just hoping for a shift in field position.

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:25 PM PST up reply actions

that's what I'm afraid of

Go Vereen

by Shadwhand on Nov 22, 2008 1:31 PM PST up reply actions

We got away with a hold there.

by The Hombre on Nov 22, 2008 1:30 PM PST reply actions

it negates the hold on Follet.

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:30 PM PST up reply actions

HOLY SHIT

Verren is such a good receiver.

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:31 PM PST reply actions

Nice. Hopefully this is a turning point for Riley.

by The Hombre on Nov 22, 2008 1:31 PM PST reply actions

What a bonanza!

Whoo!

by LeonPowe on Nov 22, 2008 1:31 PM PST reply actions

Nice game last night.

by The Hombre on Nov 22, 2008 1:32 PM PST up reply actions

Nice pass by Riley!

by Mister Pie on Nov 22, 2008 1:31 PM PST reply actions

VEREEN!!!!

Finally, someone who isn’t infected with dropsy!

by Tizoc on Nov 22, 2008 1:32 PM PST reply actions

We must use his antibodies to develop a vaccine for future recruits at wide receiver and running back.

by The Hombre on Nov 22, 2008 1:37 PM PST up reply actions

a 95 yard drive???

What team am I watching?

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:32 PM PST reply actions

Have we blitzed yet?

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:37 PM PST reply actions

Coughlin is such a cutie.

by Shadwhand on Nov 22, 2008 1:37 PM PST reply actions

Yeah. Clearly a fair weather fan though. I mean skipping Big Game for a swim meet? Who does that?

by The Hombre on Nov 22, 2008 1:38 PM PST up reply actions

Love Natalie

……but hate ALL VANITY INTERVIEWS….

This is why we need to get rid of all sideline reporters except for a few of them.

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:38 PM PST reply actions

as long as they keep erin andrews

by Tizoc on Nov 22, 2008 1:39 PM PST up reply actions

Our pass rush is awful

… plus we’re not blitzing at all… if we’re dropping back, then we need to cover the crossing routes.

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:40 PM PST reply actions

That was an awesome stop. Way to go D!

by The Hombre on Nov 22, 2008 1:47 PM PST reply actions

Devon Bishop

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:47 PM PST reply actions

Not a single WR or TE caught a pass yet

all our pass yards have been to Vereen or Best .

by danzig on Nov 22, 2008 1:52 PM PST reply actions

riley!
