It broke down after like 5 seconds or so though... he had plenty of time. Fitzy usually has a good internal clock. It was just not working on that fateful down.

Easy to fault Hopkins on his apparent lack of effort to recover the fumble, but he's quite a scapegoat today for the fool who actually fumbled the football. The inopportune brain fart fumble by Andre was a game killer, too.

It was obvious to me last night just how much Cushing has fallen off. Sad that he is no longer his pre-injured self because that Cushing was an animal. Now the team has a heavy contract on hand with him.

I'm sure chuck appreciated that XSF got the start last night, however abysmal he might have been in pass pro. Started for Brooks, who I guess was sick. Left guard was reportedly not feeling well, either.

Still impressed with Foster's vision. He makes the OL look better than it is often.

And I'm positive there must be a rule in place (unnecessary roughness at a minimum), but on the kickoff after the onsides, I would have just placed Tuggle 10 yards away from that fool to clean his clock immediately after the ensuing kickoff. I'll eat those 15 yards to send a message.
