Got the hard sell to move down into upper deck boxes from ushers. We're passing, first row of upper deck reserved on 50 and we can stand because no one behind us lol. Best seats in house

The Beast really has developed good vision out there. He doesn’t possess great physical gifts, but he is becoming quite skilled.

[TheC]

Hate when refs assume a call

 

[HawkCat]

Garbage holding call!!!!

Looked to me like the guy just fell down.

 

[Deeringfish]

He walked. No limp. Idk injury.

I wonder if he got the wind knocked out of him. The tackle and hit didn't look too bad . Maybe got the wind knocked out of him. That can be debilitating.

 

[TheC]

Go!!!

 

[Deeringfish]

Nice first down.

 

[TheC]

Why is Lujan ******* around? Just run down their throats

 

[AdamOnFirst]

I’ll join the Lujan hating crew with that play call, just run the ball!!

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

But there was a receiver in the area!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

[HawkCat]

Game is getting really sloppy.

 

[eddie_gocats]
