Thoughts on Last Night

by Philip Unwin on September 13, 2011

The good news is that Chad Henne and the passing attack looked absolutely fantastic, a total 180 from last year. The bad news is that the defense also seemed to do a 180 from last year. Let’s get this out of the way: the defense was awful, from the front to the back.  Outside of [...]
