What an awful call.  Just embarrassing.

O’Shea needs to at least sit Nichols for a series or two and see if Streveler can provide a spark to this O.

I think Nelson might be really good.

He almost broke that one. Regardless of how this game turns out, playing him over Lankford was a good move.

I like a lot of things about O’Shea but everything he has ever shown us is that he’d rather go down showing loyalty to his guys than make a controversial QB change in a close game. 

We'd be better off running Harris every play

Here we go grab that momentum and never give it back

For the love of god score a bloody touchdown.

What a horrible penalty on Loffler. 

Bad call but Loffler needs to be more ball aware. If he did his game would open up.

We’re not going to win this game kicking field goals. 

Nichols pocket presence as increased on this drive *knock on wood*. 

Nichols looking a little more poised.

Nichols looking like he's settling down. 

cue the draw to harris

ah. screen. close call.

Pitiful blocking by the O line on that screen

Our vaunted OL needs to block a 3 man rush. 

Credit to the CGY D they are giving our oline fits and not letting Harris break free from the first tackle. We are still in this just gotta keep our legs moving

Still seems just a half a beat to slow.

Man

Streveler. ****. 

You had him Nichols, them throws into double coverage

Lol. 

That was 6. **** me Streveler.

That was our chance and Strev missed him. Offense continues to blow it.

That could be the game changer. No wind. Time to throw. Wide open. ****. 

I feel bad for Harris. Doing everything in his power and his QB's are both shitting the bed.
