Seems to be one game that’s better than the res
And those night ESPN games are now such dogs

The 718
SMU kicker has hit from 50+ twice. Lots of schools with playoff aspirations don’t have a guy who can do that.

Too early to panic, but definitely frustrating that the D can't seem to get a 3rd down stop early on

That's 3 straight 3rd down conversions. Maybe Martindale should go back to hosting Tic Tac Dough?

If the lineman doesn’t hold the defender, he either sacks the QB or forces him to throw it away. Not a terrible gamble — he probably gets away with that if the official wasn’t right there.

So no harm actually done. Still -- they need to be able to get an actual stop without getting bailed out by penalties. This is like the Pats defense vs. Philly in the SB.

Question:

Is there anything I hate more than pulling out your quarterback to bring in a guy to run the ball who is neither a good quarterback or a particularly good running back?

edit - Maybe the Saints giving Hill $40Million is something I hate more.

Which is going to be higher, the number of times they mention Wink Martindale or the number of points his defense gives up?
