Eh, yes and no. Simply put, its a collective group that doesn’t execute well in protection playing for a playcaller who uses a long developing tree. That’s just as much on Rod as it is them. Know thyself.

We can't get out of our own way today.
A bit more pressure this half
Bout time. We talked about it all week. Our guts said to blitz.
Awful play calling
Run game play calling has been terrible. There's few holes in that MSU front, but there are some. The big Corbin run that got called back shows that there are some spots that we can run the ball...and Rod is just making the wrong run calls at the wrong times. Would also rather run than do these swing passes out wide that work as another 2 yard rush.
Pass calls have been okay, but no time for Peters. That's less on Rod.

Is there a count of three-and-outs per team? We have to be high on that list...

This was a winnable game.
Most of us thought so, but the evidence on the field suggests not.

Good to see Lovie giving the refs an ear full

MSU is a very mediocre team. We've made every mistake in the book today and are about to get the ball back with a chance to cut it to 14.
Not sure I agree. If we were at full strength and they were not coming off a bye...would have had decent chance. We have never been in this game...one fortunate td..d has improved as the game moved on..but MSU lost some zip
MSU is better than us.
Most objective observers gave us little chance of winning this game.

This would be an opportune time for a fumble/ strip.
