I just don't understand why they insist on logging massive minutes with Buff? Maybe cut his time down ...

Buff will make a quality 3rd line forward for us

Submission of the decade... it was insane

Is it a moral victory if they can keep the loss less then double digits

I believe Matty D said it best that football is where you go to escape. No need for this kind of stuff when watching the game. I also agree that I find it interesting that people in terrible countries (Burma for example) are completely massacred in large numbers... yet that kind of stuff gets ignored and/or the players have zero interest in creating public awareness for that...

It was way more then Hurl... the defense is just way to soft. Way to many times guys were 5 + yards off the receiver.

Wasn't that Bryant? And didn't he miss the block which lead to the fumble?

The D was soft, but they blitzed. Hell on the first Banks TD Heath was in on a blitz. The big issue was soft coverage plus not getting to masoli with the pressure.

So many times they had Masoli deep in trouble and he tossed a prayer down the field... only for our db to be 15 yards away from the receiver. I would say the d-line did their job, lb'ers were also decent. This was on the db's being so bloody far away and/or just not making the play.

Team looked completely unprepared, caught with their pants down many a times. Guys who usually make big plays on defense ended up getting burned. Lots of missed tackles. Outcoached. Shot themselves in the foot several times in the first half. For some reason they kept giving the rock to Flanders instead of Harris early on.

I only watched the first half.. I'd give a ball to Denmark, Santos- Knox and the refs for missing so many blatant holds.

Hall is definitely gone in the off season, I don't see any reason why they would bring the guy back? The defense is way to passive with all that talent. Lankford... well he did no favours for himself tonight. Bring in the next guy who wont' give away an easy int like he did late in the 2nd.

Red Dead Redemption I dare say is the best story in any video game ever made?

He doesn't look like this :

A great way to set the tone for the season. It seems like this club over the last 2 years has been constantly chasing and digging themselves out of holes. It seems like every week the media and fans are expecting this team to take control and to dominate and to get over the hump... after so many years it's kind of hard to stay optimistic.

It's only game one... but still they really can't lean on the excuses this season. I would find it funny though if someone were to accumulate all the excuses that Maurice makes post game after each loss... it'd be funny to read the variety of excuses and how he crafts his words to appease the media for the dismal results.

The Sky is falling?

I haven't watched the game... but based on the stats our goaltending looks terrible while Anderson is standing on his head?

I'd only trade for Jackson if Dressler is done for the year...

He hasn't played in 2 seasons, I expect very little from the guy.

43 points is good?

I don't know about that... Roberts put the team on his back many times and carried our team to a lot of victories on his play alone. The guy would always somehow turn a dead play into a 30 yard gain.

That isn't say much about their D...
