Well, the time of possession is 24:39 lions to 14:36 for us. Offense can't stay on the field so defense is tiring out. If the lions can run that many plays you're not gonna keep them down forever.

There's no way he is worse. I've seen Cassel make consistently solid 10-15 yard passes. NEVER seen that from Ponder.

Defense is getting tired. They've been on the field so long it's not even funny.

I haven't seen those two plays yet but it doesn't sound like it.

Our defense doesn't seem to have an answer for Reggie Bush either. :(

####. I had thought the organization as a whole was trending upward and that Ponder was the only thing holding us back.

But the defense and the coach look pretty awful today. Maybe there are more problems than I thought. You never want to draw too many conclusions from 1 game, but this might be a long season...

That can't be possible :wallbang:
A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.

Attenton Bill Musgrave, that is how you use an athletic RB.

Reggie Bush has over twice the production as the league MVP and it's all due to playcalling.

Musgrave is hurting this offense.

Peterson has been awfully quiet since the 1st play of the game... time to break one.
