Easy TDs if Bradford was more accurate on the passes to Thielen and Diggs.

Especially the throw to Diggs (What an amazing catch by Diggs, BTW). If he'd hit him in stride, Diggs would have definitely had a TD.

Put your flame suite on. Your bashing Bradford.

You constantly diss Asiata, but he's the least of our problems. It gets old.

Dude he's averaged 3.5 per carry in his career. Sorry I hurt your feelings but he's not good. He's never been good. No matter what is in front of him for OL, he's never been good. So I'll continue to say he's not good because the proof is there. Our line is bad yeah. But just because they are bad doesn't mean Asiata is somehow good

Dude, he's a short-yardage power back... that's how he's been used. Nobody is saying he's Barry Sanders or Walter Payton... he's a serviceable power back. And he is good at pass protection.

I agree that Asiata is not some superstar, but even AP had a terrible average (worse than 3.5) this year behind our starters. Our current OL is the problem with our run game, not Asiata or McKinnon.

I wish you'd cool it with the immature stuff--"dude" "pal" "hurt feelings" etc.

I never said that. But I wouldn't even consider him a good power back. He's good in pass pro and that's about it. He has no clue where he's running. Consistently hits the line with his head down and couldn't break a tackle to save his life.

You're really getting too sensitive about some of this stuff. I'm not sure when the word "dude" became immature. You're the one that got all bent out of shape regarding Asiata. I mentioned that EVERYTHING was bad. Not just Asiata.

Love that we are sticking with the zero yard first down run after a solid pass gain the play before.

Not as short as McKinnon... this season McKinnon is averaging 3.1 yds per attempt. Asiata is averaging 3.3.

Clearly, Asiata is the problem.

1 for 7 on 3rd down.

Kai Forbath is the MAN!

We're basically watching a soccer game out there today with the kicking. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

We're gonna score 33 today... 3 at a time.
