3 stars plus hh 17 no longer a lucky number

[wbbfan]

1 demski carried us a lot of the game again 

2 schmekel best game hes played 

3 sergio/sheahan. clutch kick, very good punting 

hh sterns some how dominates the jump ball from behind

block of the game neuf down field for brady on the screen 

crunch of the game cadwallader with a missile tackle after being pushed from being in kick cover 

 

aww that’s dirty, the refs, our second half, and 4thq play call/decisions, and randolph’s decisions. 

honorable mentions, holm, allen, jones, adams, person, wheatfall, and sterns.

I hate almost everything about this team at the moment. The stupidity of going for that FG is even worse because it diminishes all the other stupidity we should be talking about 

MOS - the coach too chicken to throw his challenge flag, but too arrogant to punt. Incredible.

[Blue28]

2nd and 3. And you take out your QB so the D focuses on the run. Stupid. Epically stupid play call. 
 

Likely one of the worst play calls ive seen in my 1/2 century.

See?! I totally forgot about THAT stupidity!

[Blue28]

If you want to put in Strev.  Have him run a short option rolling to the outside. At least you have a shot at converting it. 
 

please fire Hogan.

1. Demski- In consideration for MOC of the league. 

2. Schmekel- Far more impactful than JT, and Lawson too quite honestly. 

3. Wheatfall- Held on to the ball after some huge hits. This game probably took years off his life. 
 

HH- Ball for some solid ST play 

HM- Allen and Vaval. In their first starts, looked  better than Parker and Bonds respectively. Especially Vaval, playing boundary corner (well) and returner as a rookie is pretty impressive.

I didn't see the first one but thought Allen's second PI was garbage.

I’m usually the first one to defend the officiating but I agree. What happened to “Eligible receivers of both teams have an equal right to the ball”?

They were both bad but first was more ticky tack than the straight up garbage second call.

And that one I would love to see Osh challenge to send a message to his rookie that he did nothing wrong.

Especially given the context of the way SY has been with Strev lately, an astronomically dumb decision.

Agreed. Couldn't tell for sure but it looked like 2.5-3 yards. And if you have anywhere between 3/4 of a yard to a full yard left on 3rd  you aren't going for it. Having streveler run with virtually every player on the field keying on him was very likely going to end up that way. Beyond stupid.

And then going for the FG? The way Crum was throwing the ball it was very unlikely he was driving the field with the time left on the clock. Trying the FG gave them that opening they needed. Beyond stupid.

The thing i find crazy with this, is how conservative this 2nd down call is, followed up by the very aggressive FG attempt... 

[17to85]

So Schmekel is basically a young Jake Thomas.... lot of hustle and effort. 

[Sard]

Gotta give Thomas some credit for a couple of plays today... chased down Dru Brown and stayed with him on his cut back, and then knocked down a pass on the next drive.

He said on the postgame that "he thought it was PI."

I mean, Big Jake was given an unblocked clear path to the QB 3 times, but he did make the best of it. And I respect his heart for not giving up on that pursuit. Both metaphorically and literally. 

 Brown was in control of that scramble, though, but when Adams was on him, that was running out of fear and survival. Damn, that dude is quick for a DT. 

Some of the most impressive physical displays on the field tonight, Jake running a marathon, Adams making brown look like Jake Thomas, Schmekel blocking the punt, Vaval closing out Pimpleton for the pkd, Zach running in general, Paddy running 25 yards downfield for a block, Sterns mossing Pickett, Adams and Person one punch move KOs of their OL, and Tony Jones knifing between two blockers, shedding a block and stuffing Stanback for a loss. Honorable mention to Demski for tearing up the RBs' D with YAC, routinely making them look silly.  

When the list of times you physically manhandle the other team in your 1-on-1 match-up is that long, you should win pretty handily.

The worst being the field goal right after
