Kathy said...: Thanks WERK. I've seen a lot of holding. And the running into our punter. But we can't touch their QB!!; 12:51 PM

Loganville Tiger said...: Our field looks like Astro Turf compared to Orlando's Capital One.... What a mess.....; 12:52 PM

Miller said...: OL is giving him time... can the WR's please get open!; 12:54 PM
wtc said...: where is our motion plays. gus in a shell again.

Miller said...: I guess Adams is the only WR we have that actually runs a route?; 12:54 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Adams; 12:54 PM
wtc said...: How many running plays this half for us.; 12:54 PM

Anonymous said...: Wow....we ran!; 12:56 PM
astatguy said...: Yep, he can run.; 12:56 PM

TD Tate!; 12:56 PM

WarEagleRK said...: We really needed that, finally the offense steps up.; 12:57 PM
Dear Leader said...: The fact that they did not call the pass interference pisses me off...

He hit Adams prior to the ball... we would not have taken it but still that is the 3rd no call they have done and they keep calling crap against us...

let em play both ways or call them all; 12:57 PM
Unknown said...: I think my feed must be about a play behind.; 12:57 PM
Miller said...: 'Bout dam time!; 12:57 PM

cincytiger said...: DEFENSE!!!!; 12:58 PM
Kathy said...: D goes back out on the field. At least this time the O gave them some breathing room.; 12:58 PM
Kathy said...: Some of our other receivers jerseys are crispy clean. Wonder why?; 12:58 PM
wtc said...: DL-I thought the same thing on the Adams catch.; 12:59 PM

wtc said...: Is Hood on the bus now?; 1:02 PM
Scott Coats said...: I think I might avoid Bell at this point; 1:02 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Their offense is the definition of fast paced.

I look away for a second and they have already snapped the ball.; 1:03 PM
Kathy said...: We are gassed. Can't wrap up and tackle.; 1:03 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Please tackle better, please.; 1:03 PM
Unknown said...: Bell has been the surprise of the day.

Hood is probably still trying to find the rest of his buttocks after Roof got finished chewing.; 1:03 PM
WarEagleRK said...: 3rd and 4 here...stop them!; 1:04 PM
wtc said...: NW may get close to 100 plays on us; 1:04 PM
