Man I hope Terry Wilson cashes in on the hype before he has to take any real reps.

All of that is part of football. This was a winnable game in spite of all the mistakes. And there was still a chance at the end, if the whistle gets blown when it should. ZC was under siege all night and was nothing short of heroic.

Yeah the real difference on points ends up being the exchange on the QB fumbles.  They punch it in.  We kick a FG.  

We also missed a 49 yard FG which is basically routine at this point.  

People are very negative but the way both teams played very undisciplined in that game it was basically a coin flip.

Both OL's were pretty terrible.  Sask was far more committed to the run, especially once they saw how Harris was moving.

So the Oline, do we see something like Vanterpool for Wallace on Saturday? If Kramdi is back, he'd help balance the ratio and Vanterpool could replace Woodby. I mean, we need a Kolo upgrade but I'm not holding my breath. Heck, Logan hasn't offered much but no idea who you replace him with.

Why not just put Vanterpool on for Logan?  What does Logan bring to the table if we can't block anything anyway?  OL is so fundamental to doing anything consistently on O.  Build that out first then fit the skill guys around it.  **** if you need 4 imports, you need 4 imports.

Do Peterson for Cobb.  Cobb never even set foot on the field.

Can do a lot of things on D to get another DB on.  Personally don't think Vaval should start and return too.  Other guy they could get on is Echols who is very capable returner and receiver.  I'm sure Echols would be fine to gun on punts and kickoffs too.

In fairness to Allen, I think we need to decide what we want as a fan base. I’ve been asking to let the talented young guys play. I’m not going to get upset at a guy like Allen for a wildly obvious beat as a young player, it comes with the territory. I’ll take that over the (as an example) approximately 376 times Bighill didn’t blow a tackle because he was three steps away from being able to make one. 
 

The one thing I would like to see from Cam Allen is for him to realize the difference between when he needs to hit and when he needs to tackle. I’ve been overall decently happy with him other than that, even with the blown coverage yesterday. 

I'd like to see Allen at the boundary corner.  Neither of Vaval or Lawson are good enough players to be anywhere but field corner.  Lawson has been getting better, Vaval really still figuring out what offenses are trying to do.  Like that late 2nd down conversion to Johnson, Vaval is at the right depth to disrupt two routes, then he hammers down at Robustelli who is bracketed underneath and therefore not an option for the QB unless he's going to throw it right to us.  Him vacating to the dig opened up Johnson for easy pitch and catch first down.

Allen to me looks a lot more aware of route concepts and how the QB is trying to move him around.  That deep shot him and Nichols both got caught watching Harris eyes and stopping their feet while the receiver obviously took advantage running by them.

I think you could mold Kelly into a Ian Logan type safety.  He's not completely lost in man all the time but just teach him to stay on top of everything and come downhill.
