[Oskee] Same old, same old

[Todd Sweet]

I just can't begin to express my complete frustration with our refusal to:

a) throw the ball downfield (I bet we had no passes longer than 15 yards)
when we supposedly have this amazing group of recievers

b) our refusal to throw to a tight end

c) why we don't blitz more


I'll save d - z for later.  :-|

I'm like you...I didn't see this coming at all.  Plenty of blame to go
around.  Players missed assignments, missed tackles, executed poorly...and
it didn't appear to me that the coaches had them very ready for the game or
called a particularly good game.

Juice, in spite of his 67% completion percentage, didn't look very sharp
either.

They have 2 weeks to figure it out...or we're off to a 1-4 start.  That will
put immense pressure on the players down the stretch if we're going to make
a bowl game.
