I think everyone had much higher expectations that things would settle down starting with this game. Unfortunately, the killer mistakes are still dominating any chances of really competing.

i don't want to be negative and i hate beating a dead horse......
can jj please give someone else (anyone else please) a chance to take the first snap.

i really don't think blm has it. Even without the typical rookie mistakes i just don't see anything that he does well. especially well enough to warrant a start as a true freshman.

Well, that sucked. I wonder if we will ever get our team together and play a decent game? Too many turnovers and too many penalties. Our D hasn't blown a coverage yet. Guess that is a step in the right directions.

The D I think did alright over all. The O line looks like the O line of old. BLM is way over his head thus far. Where is Martin? We could try a run every now and again.

Well, we do get to kick off to start the second half. If the D can bow up and stop TCU and if the O can get its act together for one series, then maybe we can at least act like we are in the game.

D is not really playing bad. Only one long drive given up for a score, and the rest is to's. Mitchell really needs to get rid of the cranal-anal inversion or get out of the game, we are beating ourselves.

I hate to admit it; but BLM really does look like he is over his head and not at all ready to step up and lead this team at this point. It is clear that he is still having trouble with his reads and does not really understand the offense yet. Situation is complicated with O line getting pushed back into him on most of the plays.

BLM would be better if everyone of his lineman wasn't getting beat. That's why JWill was so good, he could move around more.

I disagree. JJ is looking long term and we are witnessing the hideous growing pains.

I understand growing pains but i really believe that blm will just ultimately result in pain and a waste of games. That is what makes me so mad.

Another easy first down. The out routes are open all day long just as they have been open for the last two decades.

First sign of relief will unfortunately be next year with some experience and an influx of some more talent and depth.
