We are playing a lot of people on DOnly saving grace is we could be playing everyone to see who is any good
Or we could be horribly coached
Ice things in Q3 and beyond. Mullen is giving his dissenters fodder. It’s just dumb.

The INT thrown by EJ was quintessential Cousin Eddie. Yes it was a terrible throw and a horrendous read, but IMO you CAN'T run that route combo that close to the endzone. There is just not enough distance between the flat receiver and the corner receiver. Given that, regardless of whether the defense is in zone or man to man, the defender responsible for the receiver underneath has no reason to smother him. So he can play a little more off b/c even if you throw the ball into the flat, the defender has plenty of time to rally and make the tackle well before the goal line. And throwing the corner route as we saw means the up defender really only has to move a few feet to make the play. Terrible thought process by Cousin Eddie.
BTW how about the 4th down QB sneak from the 5ish yard line. EJ's fault? Maybe. But that is truly a sign of a totally undisciplined team.
There is a reason we can't open the season against anything beyond a Division 7 team.
Soooooo, just ignore the other receivers, a couple which were open for td’s? Ok.
Sidewalk prophet. So far, you’re calling it, Chief. Early feeling is like a return to Champ with a shtiier D. Hope Dan’s got Merlin the Magician talking to ‘em at the half.My prediction: We are going to win in disappointing fashion, yet those who look at the box score and don’t watch the game or are morons are going to tell us how crazy we are and can’t be happy with anything.
Those who watch the game, and know their ass from a hole in the ground will know…and then we will drink more.
Edit: added “more”.
Oh, you mean other than the wide open drag route directly in front of him? My bad.Maybe, but you miss the point. That was the play and the first 2 reads and probably the only reads given that you are that close to the endzone. You have a QB who has little IQ and had thrown into traffic already numerous times. Usually when goal to go inside the 10 you don;t have a 3rd or 4th progression play called due to the lack of field to work with and usually do not have a lot of time to have that many progressions.
This team is gonna be sodomized by Bama. They might be worse than mullens very first team. At least that year we still had some semblance of defense. This season is going to be painful.
