I get that Denver put up 34 on us. I don't get that we only scored 17.

Yikes!! Good game, QS.

At least it was a close game...until the coin flip!!

We ran the ball well, just as not as well as we had previously. Three turnovers definitely didn't help and waving the white flag on defense all day surely isn't the way to win a football game.

That vaunted Denver defense, you just never know when it's gonna come out.

[MalcPow]

No complaints. Tough year for you guys so far Minny.

Thanks, when our offense manages to click (especially with some of the riff raff players lined up alongside our big money guys) we seem like a pretty tough out.

[Passacaglia]

Good game, SkyDog. You guys outplayed me by far, completely shutting down our passing attack -- Rubin was throwing something like 80% coming into this game, and he was 9 for 23 today. Wow. Billy Hastings saved us with his 177 yard rushing performance, and even then we needed some luck (i.e. a 95 yard fumble return for a TD) to get us the win.

[Julio Riddols]

4 losses out of the last 5. Its obvious where our problems lie, and there will be changes made, especially after the performance we put on this week. 6 dropped passes? 12/33 passing? Wow.

All we needed were a few points but we couldn't move the ball if we had to.

[Suicane75]

Well my offense started to work and it was a little closer than the score indicates. A blocked FG and an ensuing TD drive by the Gmen really turned the tide of a pretty close game.

I am the drizzling shits at defensive gameplanning though so cest la vie.

[Coffee Warlord]

I'm just hoping either Jeff Ciargahoobitydoobity stays unretired / good for a couple more seasons. Long enough to where we can give him a defense and a couple more WR targets. He's been awesome with what he's had to work with.
