Happy with the win, making a long trip overseas and playing well is tricky. Lots of sloppy play by both teams today. Things that stood out:

1. Lots of really silly penalties. We have to clean that up against better competition
2. Left some plays on the field. Russ over threw Baldwin on that deep throw, but Baldwin also doesn’t seem like himself
3. On that 3rd quarter drive with Russ’s poor interception, it seemed like we were forcing it to Baldwin. Almost as if to get him in flow
4. Moore is really turning into something. I personally like him better than Paul Richardson


Hopefully we clean this up and finish the season strong :irishdrinkers:

1. I'm really convinced a different crew would have meant fewer calls.

4. Yes, yes he is.

The pit
O-line played real well.

Pretty much a flawless game except for penalties, and that dumb interception at the goalline.

I hope Flowers is ok, he is as starting to play well.

A poor attempt by the NFL to try to keep it a close game...

O-Line has sure come together with Sweezy and Fluker getting in there together. Even Ifedi looks decent.

Reports were that Flowers was suffering from cramps and could have come back had they needed him.

Yep, should have been a shut out. When we challenged the turnover, and they upheld it to the surpise of everyone, the announcers, their "expert" in the studio.... it was pretty obvious they weren't going to pile on the Raiders. Even though it was obvious the guy fumbled it and we picked it up. Which led to their FG.

Oh well, what are ya gonna do? :Dunno:

Hawks played an awsome game today. Very satisfying win.

There are very few teams that look good this year. It will be a year where the team that gets hot at the end makes a
run. Therefore you need to win these early games so that if we are that team that gets hot, we aren’t already eliminated. A win is a win and this one was a good one.

The refs were definitely flag happy today

The only penalty call that I remember disagreeing with was the block in the back(on Fluker?) on the hitch screen to Carson early in the game. We definitely could've been called for the helmet to helmet on Cooper.

I also totally disagreed with us losing that challenge as that should've been a no-brainer IMO.

1. But we won't

2. Agreed

3. Probably true, and not a bad idea given the game script.

4. Moore looks great, on the come.

This play and too many others in recent years are why I have zero faith in the replay system.
