Yeah I agree with you. The play design was issue #1 on the first pick, and I think Sanchez mentioned that Peters was able to read it more easily because Wilson didn't sell running a route before blocking. The second interception looked to my untrained eye like the DB made it back to the ball on the curl before Demski did and there wasn't a window there. I guess Streveler could have thrown it more outside but ultimately just shouldn't have thrown it. But the lack of any vertical passing seems to mean the DBs can just come downhill with no worry about getting beat deep. I'd say the more egregious error by Streveler was the almost pick trying to thread it between 3 defenders.

Couldn't we just nationalize Willie, for instance? Assuming that we weren't so stubborn about using that rule. That alone would allow us to roster one of Woods or Adams in lieu of Kornelson. And taking Ayers off could get us the other one or Houston. Just maddening.

Do you folks think Adams was blocked in the back there on that return? Horrible, horrible sequence regardless

I wonder if accidental OPI is a possible call

I wonder if his foot may have gotten stepped on as well. It looked close. Not good in any case.

Agreed. At a minimum he has some upside. Cameron Lawson and Schmekel is a solid use of Canadian DTs. And if we can get Woods in there...

Brady is big enough to play MAC linebacker. Should we Chris Jones the lineup? /s

I think Randolph got away with a hold on that play. And I'll take it!

I don't question his heart, but I question his arm and decision-making at that point. And heart alone does not make a good quarterback.

He'll play center linebacker!

Matthew Peterson hails from the foreign land of Brooks, Alberta. What an incredible game! If he was looking this poised in camp, I can see why we felt comfortable rolling with him as our backup RB instead of rostering Cooley. I love how understated he was even in celebrating his first career TD on the sideline. Locked in.

I figured Booch surely was Mike O'Shea.

I'm gone to the numbers to process my grief. Looking at the play by play, Brady had: 2 touches in Q1, 4 touches in Q2, 3 touches in Q3, and 4 touches and 1 drop in Q4. That's absolute malpractice by Buck. The three most egregious times to me are: 1) When we drove to the 8 yard line in the second quarter and tried two unsuccessful passes and kicked the FG. 2) Wilson's 4 plays when Zach was injured. 3) The series Zach returned. We didn't throw a pass to Brady until Wilson's first play. So he and Zach weren't connecting on check downs either for whatever reason. We didn't have consecutive completions until the 4th quarter. Ugly. My overly simplified post mordem of our offensive offense is: We should have run more. We should have passed better (play calling and execution).

Thanks for the perspective. At the game I didn't realize the injury was so bad. Lousy roster management that the only backup receiver we had on the roster was Lucky.

Wheatfall should have caught it for sure, but I think we were called offside on the play anyways. It would have given us another down though at least. That was a great throw.
