Ferentz and the DB’s need to get in the officials ears about Offensive PI.

And our DB’s need to find the ball. They are just throwing it up for grabs on some of those throws.

offense can’t waste possessions, like they did on the Grono misthrow to the TE.

I know that was probably the only way they were gonna score, but that's the danger of trying to score every return .... left no time for even a FGA.

So the offense isn't coached to bump into the defense when they jump off sides ... a la the punt ... which would've given us 5 yards and a first down !?

Dammit, that's a bad decision by Wetjen. Should've just went down after getting to a certain point.

the opening kickoff TD high ended real quick. first time since 2017 the offense is keeping us in it

is there anything parker can do schematically to improve the defense? it looks really bad what they are doing to us

Seriously...I have no idea what he was thinking there. You don't play hero ball and go out you set up Stevens on a silver platter. That really sucks.

Just not very smart by the punt returner. This is the dumbest and softest team I’ve seen in decades. Especially on D. Do they think that they’re playing tag?

I thought the same thing live, but the dude it hauling a$$ on the punt return. Making guys miss.... It's hard to check that there's 2 seconds left on the clock and go out of bounds.

On the flip side.... He runs out on purpose, but the clock hit ZERO. Then fans complain too
