Missed the first half for kid obligations, so the blown lead was probably my fault. Watched second half in real time and then DVR'd the less discouraging parts.
A lot of missed opportunities, but none bigger than failing to lash a blow-up doll to the back of the Deacon Harley on the way in the gate. It's like W&B couldn't part with her for a single night for the good of the order. That guy....
Both of these quarterbacks are capable, exciting athletes. I agree with Ph: Wolford's tackle after that INT showed me he wants it as bad as anyone on this team. We've just got to upgrade to below adequate playcalling. Throwing over the middle in field goal range with a struggling quarterback-WR rhythm down a single point late is just dumber than dumb. As poor as those throws all were, the fact that we were taking those chances is even more disappointing. TE looks like the second coming of John Terishinski. Not sure why he isn't thrown to three times a possession, minimum. Other than that, roll the pocket and give the QB two choices: an open receiver or the trombone player. Running game is abysmal but if we used the tools we have correctly (including rolling Hinton out and let him make plays with his legs), we'd probably open some holes for a traditional running game.
The pieces are there and the fight is there; just need some judgment in how we use the tools.
