The fumblerooski is our best redzone play of the last 2 weeks.

Jamison with the trifecta - sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery. Cool.

That's because Mason runs precise routes. That third down underthrow was all due to JJ who ran three yards beyond the first down marker rather than the one yard that Schaub expected.

[Nconroe]

Seems Schaub low on his passes quite often again

Best place to get a personal foul. I mean, how far can they push you back?

Whether we win or lose, we need to win the personal foul battle. We have to show we are not the pussies the bullies in this league think we are.

I think winning convinces them of that. Losing and getting stupid penalties gets you laughed at. Smith needs to push the guy before the whistle.

Refs are killing us.
