Forgot the "All of above" With a multiple choice like this I really need an "All of the above" button. Don't forget that Brad Smith coming in and MAKING third downs. And, A defense that kept us in the game. That was so cool !
Brad Smith was awesome - I loved that 3rd down and 1 where he fought for the yard keeping the drive alive.
the best part of the game was penningtons overall performance...but why are we talking about the good things that happend?? everyone knows that chad played great and that coles was good...cuz i know for damn sure that the 4th quarter made me sick. our defense was pathetic in the 4th quarter and that scares me. i mean hey, dont get me wrong, i'm happy w/ the way our passing game looked...but the running game (with the exception of barlows two 8-9 yard carries) and the 4th quarter defense was unacceptable. any thoughts, comments?
My favorite part was Chads overall performance -- He was clutch all the way -- 2nd favorite was getting the win and not throwing a beer bottle through my television set which I nearly did during the 4th qtr .
Theres alot of chad love out there now...and thats not such a bad thing...their really is only one way for this to go and thats down, so i dont expect too many more "I Love Chad" threads to continue throughout the year...unfortunately thats just the way it is
1) The Running Game. Yes, unacceptable. It does seem like we're working on it, though, and earnestly. Bringing in Barlow 2 weeks ago was not exactly an afterthought (or maybe it was, but what the hell). I don't think he was ready for this game for one reason or another and I expect to see more of him in this week's matchup. I'm not a huge Barlow fan, but if he gets it done... well... 2) The 4th Quarter Defense. Yes, again unacceptable, except for the final, 4th-down defense against the attempt by Tennessee, which was all that counted when it came to the final score. I wasn't thrilled with the way our defense allowed such yardage in their (Titans) late drives, but we're still learning, don't forget. Those lessons learned will serve our DEF well, even though we did get a win out of this one, because they know damned well it could have gone the other way.
for me it was the way Pennington played..... I thought there was no way he would be as good as he was so he was great to see him play so well.
My favorite is: Mangold MANhandling 6'6" 320LB Albert Haynesworth on the goalline stance. The Man has a bright future indeed.
My 2 favorite parts were Chads performance and the The great protection from the Oline something we rarely saw last year.
I can't choose just one of those so I choose all. But the favorite one moment/play was Pennington's roll out then throw the ball across to the other side of the field to Coles. That throw showed me all I needed to see. It had velocity, zip, accuracy and it was deep.
