Very disappointed in LaPolice’s gameplan so far. 

Lapo is getting too predictable again.  I know it's cold out but it's ridiculous that he's not using play action or trickery.

Rookie throw, vet move is to take the sack

Woohoo! Nice pick!

That quieted the crowd down!

What game are you watching???

Yes!

TD!!

Why wouldn't MOS go for the 2 pt conversion there? A single convert gets you nothing.

Nice call

O’Shea hasn’t quite figured out the benefits of going for two yet. Give it another 10 years. 

Half time. We got this.

First half observations

• usual playoff jitters to start
• O-Line was having a tough time making gaps between the tackle
• Zebras aren't calling much. At least two blatantly obvious offsides and a few holds they ignored
• Wol is a beast. 
• Crappy time management last minute. 
• Paddy, you cost us a few points with that penalty
• Gutsy call on the FG attempt, Medlock had the leg but looks like it curved at the end

2nd half needs

• smashmouth football. No big plays given up on d, don't be so soft
• Keep slamming with Harris and the passing threat
• Misdirection, misdirection, misdirection. 

 

LETS GO BLUE!

Uh.... to go up 7? People always seem to forget that if you go for 2 and don't get it, the other team can take the lead off a touchdown + 1 point convert.

Add on squibbing kickoffs.  Medlock isn't hitting them long and the cover team isn't covering them.

Lankford would have hit that FG.  Yes I am drunk.

Wolitarsky- "quiet,really quiet" nice shot lol

Go back to sips not gulps:)

Sarah O: how did you find rge first half crowd noise? 

 

Drew W, dead faced, looked right her: quite...

Beauty quote.

 

Field position is the only reason they are in. Improve that and no turnovers and we win by double digits.

I like the pressure

I see Suitors green pom poms have arrived in the scene.

They've always been there. 

Demski is a problem.
