Yowser!

Let’s keep Moore’s engine running. Why send in Willie to get hurt? We could use the Moore / Willie / Russell triumvirate to the end of the season (and beyond).

Too Bad

no one on the O staff can dial up a winning play inside the 10. Two short FG could spell disaster if the D can’t step up for the rest of teh game

We do need to start getting it in the RZ. I personally would have run on that 2nd down. Make that 3rd down really short.

Man...

I think right there we had the will power. We coulda stomped them out. Not a good call. Honestly I think we needed to just slam it down their throats.

They suck so bad, what are you afraid of Tomlin. They arent going to drive 99 yards.

YOU DO NOT come back on our “D” down 13. We feast on obvious passing situations!

They wont go pass happy just yet. Its still too early. They only need 2 TDs, we need to score more.

We let NYG get back from 14-0

I like our chances as long as our punter and long snapper dont go down in a heap.

BTW, you know NE only has allowed 13 FG’s prior to today. We got 3. Not sure if thats good or bad.
