This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Dont overreact to the BG game by Vairish84

Williams barely touched the ball.

Patterson was out, and the OL was split. Spindler looked like a freshman. Some good, some bad. I had worried that Fisher was ahead or that the others was bad. Tosh Baker should have been collecting tolls, at least he would have gotten something. I was kind of hoping Lugg was not not going to be one of the Top 5, but he clearly is. So are Zeke and Fisher. Figure Patterson gets back in there, and then you need one more.

It is not the coaches who call the targets, it is the QBs. They make the reads and throws. Gold team had the better OL, but never ran. Coan clearly has confidence in Davis and Wilkins, not so much in any of the others at WR.

For the blue, I think Buchner only threw it to Keys. Payne leaned on him a lot too. They did throw to Lenzy.

Styles got a could of targets, so did Watts. Johnson had one, and it was a lousy throw at that.

The D as a whole was much better than the O. They did however give up a lot of long passes.

The problem with the BG game is that the players know each other well. There is a certain zero sum element to it. For every time Keys was open, it meant that someone wasn't good in coverage.

If the OL can gel, the team can be competitive in the big games and win the ones they are supposed to. I think the corners looked fine. Same for the safeties, especially adding back Hamilton.

And the best of all, Buchner showed enough to create QB controversy.
