No no no, man! Didn't you see? We actually DID throw it deep in that game, quite a few times. It was all right there in front of our eyes. Of course we're throwing deep. Definitely. Well, I'm pretty sure at least. That's what they're telling me, anyway. You fans just don't realize it's a whole hell of a lot more than just saying, "Lee, go long." I mean, the quarterback actually has to throw it. How is he supposed to do that when they double-cover our deep guys every time? Mmmm...good Kool-Aid.

I pretty much stopped right there.

Naw, just came out the wrong way. I don't disagree, this offense is just a complete vomitorium.

Thanks...I was wondering why I hadn't had the pleasure of a Sully article today.

Well, KH only has 2 picks so far this season, and only one came on a deep ball (vs the Jets). But whatever, right?

Don't blame Krumrie, man. It's the gaps.

It's not the coaches, man. It's the gaps. We're just not staying in our gaps.

For me, the game in a nutshell was this: After our nearly 8-and-a-half minute opening drive, the next two drives were: Pass-Run-Pass-Punt Pass-Pass-Hopeless Run on 3rd and 28-Punt At that point I knew we were in trouble, as it had appeared that TC really hadn't learned anything, after all.

I think you're assuming that we will actually get to the quarterback on most of those plays.

You might say just as pivotal was the f!$%ing stupid block in the back on the ensuing punt return. Nate took it back to their 30, instead we start at our own 20. Ah well.

This was something I definitely noticed during the game. Holcomb took some nasty shots right from the start, nearly every time he dropped back to pass. Our line's inability to keep their defenders off of him was pathetic.

As funny as that is, DAMN...that's one brutal schedule we got left.

Gives me visions of Larry Kinnebrew...

He'll be on the field for approximately 4 plays. Ball will come his way once, he'll catch it for 6 yards. We'll all be underwhelmed.

Where the heck do you find that info?

My recollection of that throw was that it was against the wind and he was pressured on the play. It looked like it was wobbling pretty badly. Personally, I don't see that one throw as an indictment of the guy's ability to toss one long. He's also already proven that he can throw for a mean chunk of yardage in a game, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah...back when we had a real defense...

hysterical!

What worries me is that Raiders receiver, Curry, who just popped his achilles for the second time after sitting out most of last year due to the initial injury.

I think the plan is to plug him in at right tackle when Big Mike goes down again.

Someone needs a little lesson in sarcasm...

Successful runs beget more runs.

Personally, I'd like to see this situation descend into another Flutie-RJ debate. I can see it now...Holcomb just wins, even if he does have a noodle arm. But what about the young kid's fabulous arm and potential? Maybe we'll secure a wild-card spot with one game left to play in the season, and they'll stick JP in for the meaningless finale, and he'll light up the scoreboard, and the coaches will bench Holcomb for JP for the wild-card game, and then...

On a few plays he looked like he was limping pretty badly. I'm surprised we didn't see Jerman in there for a bit, although it makes you wonder if a gimpy Williams is really that much better than a healthy Jerman...
