I know it was a short week but damn...just damn.

National TV is like kryptonite to us. Just can't handle the big stage.

This one hurts man...bad.

I hope this game emphatically underlines the need for two solid guards and possibly a RT if Barksdale walks. They also need a swing tackle to back up both starting tackle spots.

I'm a Bradford lover but I have to say a mobile QB sure would be huge. Especially in this division. Or an OL that can block better.

I know hind site is 20/20 but we should have gone for from the 2 foot line. We weren't going to get a better shot than that (2 frickin feet) and the Cards weren't going to throw it anymore.....

. They have Barrett Jones as a swing tackle if he ever gets in the game

The way our D was playing you had to take the points. Had to do it.

Defense played well this is one of those games not having Bradford hurts. No offense to Hill.

Every offense to hill this is the second game he cost us. At least Davis excuse was that he was young but hill you expect better from a 13 yr vet. He didn't recognize the blitz and he missed some reads were britt was running free. Hill played like garbage and once again Schotty showed how inept he is as a play caller that has to adjust to a defense.

Well, at least we still haven't given up a TD since week #11 in the Denver game!

What's disappointing for me is the team short yardage rushing attack in general. Well, whenever we see them try anyway, because it seems we pass quite a bit in short yardage.

It might be the Hennessy talking but Schotty can't call plays against a good defense. If the run game isn't working we lose. It's that simple. Check the games we won. If it's not defense or special teams we lose

Nope. I agree. Personally, I think we need to keep attacking the edge with the run game and pass more. I hate to put things on Hill's shoulders in what looks like a down game for him but our OL just isn't clearing running lanes. Joseph and Wells are killing us again.
Yep. And unfortunately it never got better. Good defensive effort though. Doing that little on offense and still only allowing 12 points? Some positives there.

Frankly, I don't know why Zac Stacy doesn't get more time there. I love Tre but Stacy has better leg drive for those short yardage plays. Just don't have Joseph freaking pull. Run the ball behind Saffold and GR.
