How's everyone watching the game? YoutubeTV beefed me

I have Uzzu TV. It may or may not be legal, but I never have to worry about having the rug pulled out from under me by TV networks.

We're going to look like a real football team for the first time all year, aren't we?

The Dave Aranda way.

I'd rather have a big running game take control and ground out a big lead in the second half. We need that.

It's nice to see us play like a focused football team for once. But where the hell was this all season?

Honestly, it just pisses me off more that it takes three or four losses every season before our coach and team realize that playing clean football and winning are actually important.

Trigg yes. Sawyer……questionable. Can't see the field well enough and takes too long to deliver the football. Might make some money holding a clipboard. Too good a person to languish in the NFL.

Maybe. I think Dave probably had a rare uncomfortable meeting with Mack where he was told that the way that we finish the season is going to be very important for his job security. I still think that six wins is the golden ticket

Looks like we are finally playing to win instead of playing to not lose...I will take it, but agree its frustrating it takes losing and being on the hotseat first.
