Down 4 on the road I'm feeling pretty good let's see what kind of adjustments our staff is capable of

Based on what? Their #5 has looked better than our entire WR corp combined. Their OL looks better. Their secondary and linebackers look better. s*** Clifford looks better than Bo. What are you watching? 

What happened when Clifford got pressured on that last throw?  He threw a pick.  It’s pretty easy to look great when you’ve got all day to throw.  That’s too easy.  Their number 5 is not that much better than Robertson.

Lots of folks here need to chill out.

It's a fan based sports forum during a live game. It would be boring if everyone e thought the same.

McClain barely touched QB. Must have broken a nail.

 

Maybe a helmet to the ovaries?

People here over reacting. Now we can make adjustments and let's see how it goes. Everybody needs to play better. We are very lucky that ball wasn't a pick 6' Bo can't keep making those mistakes.

Wr have to catch balls. And let's see if we can come up with something to get a bit of pressure

We really have looked a bit sloppy. They haven’t.

Every adjustment that we need is coachable/schematic, in my view.

I'll choose to remain optimistic.

Welp the silver lining is we are in the game and a half of football is in the books. Now it comes down to who wants it more.

[au302 2,669]

Good news is we did't play great, not Bobo and Mason's finest halves, but only down 4. I think we have a real shot if they adapt and we get some better execution. If not, we'll be in trouble

I've been trying to remain patient with Shed, but losing it rapidly. I don't see any reason he should be targeted more than Hudson, Capers, and Canion. Johnson Jr. is also a better deep ball target

I know he has the experience but they need to sit down and figure out another plan. But the other options are guys with very little experience and putting them in this huge game on the road.

Trying not to give up big play? And doing a decent job of that. 2nd half can maybe commit more to rushes.

Going to lose if you think that was a “decent job”.  Going to have to pressure Clifford.  

[AUx 3,010]

Hope he has a very healthy and fine season after tonight.

Our D has looked like Keystone Cops out there at times.

[MaitlandTiger 325]

We tackle better, and open up the playbook, we have a shot.  This is a vanilla offense we have shown.

Yeah don’t know why people are overreacting. Only down 4 at the half on the road vs a top ten team and the offense has shown promise. Just gotta fix the little mistakes 

[tbone4jc 2,241]

I am anticipating what adjustments will be made... we get the ball first and score it will sit well with me

[boisnumber1 2,819]

Did #6 Johnson make the trip?

There's a difference between difference of opinion and swinging from "sky is falling" to "national champs" on every play.  Its like a lot of folks have apparently forgotten what a competitive road game looks like.

Said I liked our chances if it was a 3-7 point game at the half and I stand by that 

Same difference and I like where we are. Bo is STILL a work in fill in the blank.

[W.E.D 11,070]

Don't think there is too much to worry about. Their TD was a few broken coverages.

We seem to be playing OK on offense, not great. Defense seems to be playing a little reactivate and scared their QB will run on us.

Get the ball. Score a TD. Fix the defense. Win the game.

Show up, give a s***

True, but I would argue worth the risk. They're gonna have to get thrown in the fire eventually anyways

[gravejd 3,270]

Going to be a fight in the second half. We get ball. Gotta find a way to get more pressure on defense and we need to lean on the running game more in second half. Make them stop the run!!

Bo didn’t make Shed drop those balls. Let’s be fair 

[j0hnnyRingo 1,445]

Tank with only 8 carries…

 

Did he touch the ball after his TD?

Who predicted a shutout?
