Ya, thanks for the thanks. Logging the weekly games here gives me something to do with gameday anxiety....

Dang, several hours later and I'm still a bit flummoxed..... That was a winnable game. In baseball terms, it's like we're a bunch of singles hitters. Get men on base (dink and dunk) and keep the lineup moving (time of possession). Trouble is, when we run into a good pitcher (QB), we don't get on base as much and can't keep up and I find myself craving the occasional 3-run homer (ala Flacco/Ravens/deep ball), All. The. Time.....

The thing about Schaub, aka "Matty Nice"
, is you look at the stat line and it says he went 34 for 51, 66.6% completion, 343 yard, 2 TD's, 1 INT and you think that is a pretty good stat line. Definitely a case where the stats don't tell the full story. One can get fooled into thinking the accuracy is OK. On some of the incompletions, you wonder how he missed the receiver - on short passes even. A certain amount of throwaways per game will occur - this is normal and as we learned with Carr, advisable. Still, if he were more accurate, I'm thinking he should be connecting at a 70-80% rate in this system. In his defense, it does not help when the receivers drop balls... but I'm not so sure he can "make all the throws" anymore..... Maybe something was discovered today on the 2 pt conversion.... throw the ball up high and let your beasty receiver fight for it...
One of the NFLN guys just mentioned "Romo" when Schaub threw the INT and I can't disagree....

So, we're picking 26th? 27th?
