We just threw a TD pass underneath, using the middle of the field.  I have no words for this because it's been so long since I've seen such competent play design.

it's been open this year and years past. QB would never let it go.

We gotta run more to stay out of 3rd and long 

I really don't like how we're 2nd and 10 every possession. Might just be execution though as there's been a few missed throws.

Damn who is #13 great play on kick off coverage

I don't mind the 2 point attempt, honestly. Easy to criticize when it doesn't work, but keeps the pressure on and shows confidence in the offense. 

If you go up by 11 it's really advantageous but when you screw up you're an idiot.

[tbone1430 1,346]

What gives me hope is we have already hit 6 different receivers. Looks much better play calling wise getting the ball out quicker.

2 pt conversions didnt do arky any favors last week...

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Liking the LB run fits so far

[Zeek 16,650]

We need a true pass rusher so bad. When was our last sack by the DL?

Football statisticians say teams should go for two on every TD. (And never punt.)

[Tiger 8,823]

Teams have been killing Steele on the 3rd down screens when we blitz

[EastAl_Tiger 225]

again with the failed blitz

McClain is all over the place. Love the way he plays.

Understood - and I don't really have a sound argument other than... it didn't bother me. Just seems the reward outweighed the risk, given how the game is/was going at this point.

Now... they get a little momentum here, even drive down for a TD, and maybe it looms larger.

[Tigerbelle 5,299]

We don't care about the little nickster so shut up about it. For once I agree with Ginger Mac....no big deal.

This is the biggest thing. I don't know if they tell Bo who to throw to each play but we've had too many games where one guy gets 90% of the targets. 

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Wooden is a man

[wareagleguy 1,393]

LBs are run fitting much better thus far

[Zeek 16,650]

Our 3rd down D is mind boggling sometimes

[JGLEATON 1,244]

WOODEN!

[WVR 818]

I really like Wooden. Plays hard!!

I would think it's even more heavily weighted, statistically, if you have an overall talent advantage over your opponent.

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

You can’t call PI tho. It would’ve had to be holding. That’s garbage lol

[Zeek 16,650]

How do you not rule that uncatchable? 

[PigskinPat 2,579]

Holy crap that was uncatchable 

[Pedaler 1,001]

Bad bad call
