General thoughts:
Some may have already been said and others will add something to the conversations:
My vantage point was from the sidelines, so it may be different from others:
-GMTM and myself witnessed some weird behavior by the referees on the field on the chop block that was called and then the flag was picked up. Official right in front of me throws the flag ( and i saw the clear penalty as well ) then other official walks over says something in his ear. That guy basically overrules him and tells the head referee and then laughs or smiles back to our sideline. I guess you had to be there but the behavior wasn't professional and looked very shady.
- Coach Rocco getting all up in Pinigis's face for seemingly taking a play off was inspiring as well since you never know how a big 1-A transfer will be treated. I am glad he isn't afraid to call anyone out.
- After our defense lets up 50 yards passing on one drive and we step up and block one pass.... the celebrating needs to stop. When you are getting whooped like that you need to save the emotion for the next play not act like you just stopped a 4 and 1 to win the game. At least i wasn't impressed by that very much
- In weeks past we have been able to pressure the quarterback and i have seen a variety of blitzes. One sack isn't going to cut it, that guy had all kinds of time when he needed it and had 9 ints coming into the game. What weren't we able to do that all those other teams did? I mean i think he threw 3 picks against Glenville st., i just wish i could get the thoughts from the defensive coordinator on why no bump coverage until the last drive, where were the blitzes, shouldn't we pinch our safties up to help on the short routes until thet attempt to throw deep etc?
- Once Rashad is healthy, our 3rd or 4th string RB's should never see the field. Terrel should be the guy who gets all other carries and then lets let him take kickoffs with Wynton in my opinion. He also needs to line up as a WR now and than, as has been said on here before he is a freak athlete and we need to FIND A WAY to get the ball in his hands.
- This is a random thought but, why not totally throw the other team for a loop by lining up Terrell as the RB and running sweep to the right. This gives him the option to run or throw and provides constant unpredictability. He has to roll out to throw anyway due to his height so i think it would not allow LB and DB to think run everytime and really keep them guessing. Some may think that is nuts but i think it just might work two or thee times a game.
Well i guess thats enough for now...its dinner time for me on this Sunday night.

I really do study football and coaching situations and going for 2 is one of the toughest plays to make in football. You don't have a lot of space to operate, you have to get 3 yards which makes running it tough and it is basically a low percentage play. Rocco couldn't possibly know that his kickers were going to miss again last week. They were in a position to win the game. I would rather be kicking a potential game winner than hoping a team misses like we were yesterday. Unfortunately we lost out on both occassions but if the opposite had worked out for us, our season would be totally different. A fine line between winning and losing. I think we will learn how to make the plays we need to make as Rocco grows as a coach and this group matures as a team. I am pleased with the progress of this team.
