Need a TD here. Pleeeeeeease!
Our own guy prevented at least another 15 yards, but potentially a house call.
Need to get him his 2nd TD of the season

Williams' momentum on the return being stopped by his own teammate just sums up this season so well. Won't complain about the return, though!
If we could score 7 here it might be the first legit feel good moment of this season ir at least since the miracle 4th down conversion in week one
Try a fffffnn run outside the tackles! Bs!
And … nope
We again decide not to run there with the RB. Don't get it.
They stack the box, but Lunney says run it up the gut anyway!!!! SMDH
Aussie Aussie Aussie! Nice punt!

That play had no chance
Nice call Lunney.
That 3rd down play call is on Lunney. Been pretty good prior to that.

The punt team has been awesome though
What is a slant?
Story all year, can’t get short yardage when we really need it.
Just turned on the game about 5 min ago. Our backs cannot pick up blitzes to save their lives. Woof.
