What crappy play calling. We all knew the Als were going to pin their ears back and come after us. Three times, 3 strikes. Nice call Chap. you imbisile.

If you can't punch the ball in three times from the one, you don't deserve to win the game, those offsides weren't really relevant to the stuff on the run either. Just had to get it together.

That is coaching folks... NO end.... so that is the end
Lumby not in for QB sneak WTF????/ Then he is in.. no end...
That is a coaching blunder... you can't be doing all those changes down there..
I said it before. ..rolly is not ready for these critical situations... they need joe or needed to get out around them.. bad call on qb sneak

Buck played great.
We should have rolled out on the goal line. Fake dive. QB rollout. Geroy to the corner.

They better beat HAM next week othgerwise it might be back to back ass kickings byt the green weenies.

I agree. Looks good on you Wally. You and your staff better give your heads a shake. Why did you not call a TO to settle the guys down??

Who are you again?
Have to think that the effort was there, just enough errors to kill our effort.

Fake the dive play. Keeps the D in tight.
Buck rolls out after the fake.
Geroy goes to the corner. Buck can run or pass. Basic high school play.

Easy to second guess the calls now, but they could have just as easily scored on the play and really should have.
Just too bad that we ran out of time down there, that would have changed the Als defensively for the worry of a throw.

My thought exactly ! Poor play calling. Again too predictable. Spread the receivers out, run option play.
