Wow, bad call by NW on the last play of the game. Hanging your 2nd string QB out to be clobbered is not very smart coaching...

This game is another example of how this team has evolved with regards to coaching and talent. In the past this would have been a nail biter. Now we attack with our superior talent and depth and finish with a 41-13 win.

Great teams win 41-13 in conference and still feel like they played poorly.

And we kept piling it on unlike our teams of the past.

QB controversy.
the fact that Drew does not pose run threat (intentional) is allowing DEF to play different. with not much downfield, we have a crowd at the line. OL may not be playing great, but the system is inviting DEF to play us like this. we are going to see this until we can show we beat it. Potts is actually playing well and might be a good option in 4 min offense. The other thing that is odd is how we cannot run the clock at the end of the game. We are snapping with 20 seconds on the game clock and with penalties and incomplete passes we use no time if 3 and out. not sure why we do that.

80zpjm.jpg Has anybody seen Abdul Carter? For all the early season hype, he sure hasn't had much impact. Maybe the whole "Sticks" thing was a bit premature or overstated? I'd like to see him be more of an impact on the game.
