Great exciting game...Everyone, left everything on the field. Everyone was in it, to win it. Ponder, I've been hard on you, but you came through, Walsh again, AD!- I feel for him, but it's about wins. Our receivers- Jenkins, Simpson, Wright actually had good hands.
Loadhold: You gotta play smart.
We have a decent secondary when everyone is healthy...but our depth is just not there and it showed.
Not too many teams can survive loosing 2 Cbs.Quote:

Easier to practice for and to know who to help with. However, moving him around will force a teams to not simply practice....help to the left and run power to the right or bootleg to the right.Quote:

Great game & a great win! A nail biter at the end like I thought it might be as we have seen so many times in the past.
Ponder played very well, better than expected & connected on two 20+ yard passes that were very nicely thrown & vital in the win as was the pass hitting Jenkins on the sideline. If he could throw farther than the typical 5 yards like that & be more consistently accurate, more often, fans wouldn’t be talking about bringing in QB’s like Romo, Vick or Sanchez.
My only knocks on him in that game were some floaters that were thrown & that there were open receivers on the field that he did not see or chose not to throw to.
Many people knock on Musgrave, but as I said before, I think he’s calling plays he feels Ponder can execute with confidence & he’s limiting his longer throws until he can prove he can make them more consistently. I think he held his leash the right amount.
AD continues to be a beast this year.
Disappointments:
They wasted way too much time dilly-dallying around on that last drive & seemed complacent once they got just inside of Walsh’s range. Visions of Gary Anderson came to mind & felt they could have easily run a few more plays to AD to try & get more in range with better time management or stopping the clock. Fortunately, AD broke the last run & put us into a much better kicking situation.
I wish that last run by AD would have made it to the endzone. What a fitting end to a remarkable season it would have been to beat Dickerson’s record, score the winning TD, beat the NFCN Champs & propel your team into the playoffs all in one play in front of your home crowd.
Loadholt. Still racking up stupid penalties & false starts to add to his collection.
Lets remember one thing when talking about Peterson not getting the record. Dickerson got the record in a 14 game season. We now play 16. Is it really a record when the parameters are not the same? Yes Adrain had a wonderful season but even getting that record you still have to remember the time in which Dickerson got the record in 14 games.Quote:
