Again, DB not looking back for the ball. Gives up big catch.

They must teach that but I dont like it.

We need to score 28 + in the first quarter cause our second and third quarters are really bad

I’m assuming our DB got caught peeking in to the backfield on that pass play.
Probably. But regardless I feel like this defense struggle to string together consecutive stops. They particularly struggle to get off the field when another team is trying to answer one of our scores. It’s frustrating. A 3 and out there up 7 at home would be a tough spot for NW to be in. Now, they’re still in it.

Correct! Sad that again we can't follow up great DTs. With another Great DT. Really makes having a standout defense a lot easier.
I’m not even sure they were great. They were very good and could beat doubles at times. Just really strong in the middle.

Mozzee almost cost us big time. Got hit and tried to bounce it rather than lower his head and just get the first.

I would have snapped the ball there. I’m not sure we actually got the first down. Why give them 5 minutes to review it?

After this many years on TV, how is Helfrich still so terrible?

Mutters to himself like a 90-year-old man in a nursing home.

I actually love Haarberg. But he's not really a Tebow qb. He struggles with these power plays. This might be the first one I remember where he gets it. He's closer to a sweep speed qb despite his size.
