and at one point they said we had 4 plays over 20 yards, so even with our running the ball down their throats, we still managed to have some explosion on a few plays. I thought Roddy was gonna catch that one in the endzone IN SPITE of the PI.

i know we won, i hate to come off negative, but just because we won, doesn't mean we played a perfect or mistake free game. I said it a bunch last year when we won so many close games, and i say it again today, we still have a lot of work to do. not causing a punt in the first 2 1/2 quarters should concern us. not being able to score in the 3rd quarter should concern us. giving up a buttload of rushing yards should concern us. we still have a lot of work to do.

if we could just put this second half together with the first half of either of the two last weeks games, we'd be kicking everyones asses.

This. STILL too many third downs converted. Still lackluster in the third quarter.

Of course, Smitty is going to say we have a lot of work to do and all that, but when are we going to see us get off the field on third down and play better in the third quarter? I'm frankly tired of hearing about it. I want to see us be better in those two aspects. I mean, I'm glad we're trying to fix it, but we're not a team with low expectations like we were the first couple years, this is the fourth year and we should see improvement in areas where we have struggled in the past. So far, we haven't seen it. I have optimism about many things for this team, but I have doubt and concern on many things too...
