doing a lot more blitzing... and its working

Finally

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Chill fella. It sucks I know.

 

[You]

Keep running it, GD. Give the defense a break.

 

[MoseSchrute]

brilliant, get the GD first down

 

[Motigerhawk]

So close

 

[NickM]

All of Ruddock's deep balls flutter badly.

 

[ihawkeye]

I like the play call. D will hold them.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

powell slowed down...

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Love everything about that...except it not working out. Well thrown ball !

 

[You]

I like the long pass play call. Unexpected, and it almost worked. But now D is going to be back on the field.

 

[bphawkeye]

well - throw for the home run at the end of the 3rd at 3rd and 1 = OK. but at some point Iowa when ahead needs to churn the clock ....

 

[Sparky]

fck - why is this so close!!!

3rd qtr - 24-20 1:13

damn

I'm guessing before the day is over you're going to be banned. Enjoy your week off.

We ask for more aggressive...we get just that...and still....

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

All of Ruddock's deep balls flutter badly.

That one didn't flutter...it was perfect...Powell slowed down.

 

[Motigerhawk]

Go for it on 4th. Its mid foeld. Your defense is playin well. You out weigh the defense by a lot. Balls to the wall.

 

[You]

Why don't we run a fake punt in a while?

 

[TChawk]

Can't put the D back on the field that fast, they been there pretty much all 3rd qrt....

 

[Sparky]

That one didn't flutter...it was perfect...Powell slowed down.

The replay showed differently. It was a flutter ball, if it would have been a spiral it would have been deeper.

People will complain no matter what. Don't be that guy Mose. They made an attempt to step on their necks and it didn't work out. I'd rather see them try and lose then not try at all.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

No doubt this game is closer than I like.
