Where was the contain? The entire right side of our defense was absent, chasing ghosts inside.

Yes they are clearly winning both lines of scrimmage if this keeps up we could get blown out

Lack of receivers strikes again. Ricky didn't even try to come back on that ball. Just stood there and let the defender get the advantage.

Why did Stone fall down on the throw? OL gave him a clean pocket.

Stone doesn’t have the arm strength as advertised

What’s up with Stone’s throwing motion? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a QB at this level fall to the ground while throwing a ball without being close to being touched. Not to mention where he holds the ball makes for an incredibly long throwing motion. Not how they draw it up. Not good.

At risk of being a pessimist, I don’t think this is our day. The entire D just looks off. Out of position, losing the edge and especially missing tackles giving them an extra 3-5 yards on many plays.

For the first time since Tulane, it feels like we just haven’t shown up. No energy or focus.

The team does seem to be playing with more fire this quarter. Must have been a good sideline speech.
