what adjustments can the bombers make in the second half with  this O Line?

max protection with the FB??

Everyone takes a turn smacking Wallace upside the head?  Like that scene in Airplane.

[Jesse]

Telling you, desired is:

Stan Vant/Rand Ko Neuf Lofton

Everything else is injury-induced.

We'll need some real NAT OL in off-season/FA/DP if we don't want to be forced into 3 IMP OL in '26.

I would have agreed, but they can throw Vant in anytime they want. Still rolling with Wallace.

[TecnoGenius]

max protection with the FB??

Eli/Ike probably won't do much against these DL beasts.  Back when we had a super jumbo Wallace/Eli/FB package we could have.  We don't do jumbo much anymore, and super jumbo isn't even ARd much this year!

Isn't Vant still on IR?  He's got some nagging thing, I think ankle.

Maybe we feel we need the ratio help right now, especially with Kramdi out and Demski iffy.

I'm pretty sure all of Mafia knows that Vant at LG is 3X better than Wallace.

gotta try - just my opinion

[Pete]

lets see if we can finally stop the first drive of the third quarter, huge for momentum and yes having another olineman in would help..logan is dispensible

[Go_Big_D]

too many games where wallace has sucked.....

[Sir Blue and Gold]

OK TecnoGenius....  I'm trying to be positive now....  Jason Hogan is going to make adjustments 2nd half

He's just going to hold a mirror up to the playbook and start at one.

[TecnoGenius]

I think the key to the win now will be everyone making that little extra play succeed.  Stuff like that long bomb underthrow by Zach.  The Sheahan mistake.  The Castillo mistake.  The Logan screen drop.  Wallace whiffing 3X.  Neuf whiffing.  Allen getting burnt.

Everyone just needs to step up and get that little extra.

Some guys are, and that's good.  Mitchell and Clercius so far are killing it.  They're stepping up.  So what's up with the vets?

This is a very winnable game.  Just stop whiffing and make plays.

SSK is supposed to be the league-leading best team!  What do they look like this game?  Hot garbage to me.  They've done nothing except a turnover and a wide-open Nield bomb.

[Pete]

our d had a terrific first half lets keep it going!

[TecnoGenius]

Remember, we're supposed to be the weak underdogs that suck rocks right now.  If I'm a SSK fan I'm wondering why I'm only up by 4 in this LDC.  And I'm still afraid...

[The Zipp]

pretty low offense for both teams

someone is going to break it open

[dd]

too many games where wallace has sucked.....

Agree. He s big enough but just not quick enough, getting beaten badly often

[Ducky]

3 sacks
a fumble leading directly to the first score against
Blown opportunity to go up by 14 after the Harris fumble
69 yard TD against
Missed FG

Wonder how the team will respond after a very disappointing end to the first half. Team has not been good at adjustments.

Clenching the rest of the game.
