Nice interception there Mr. Rolle.

Had to look up Jamal Rolle, CB, 24 yrs old, 6'0", signed off Green Bay practice squad, went to Catawba College.

Turnovers for us have been our saving grace on a number of occasions. We have just learned how to turn the ball over.

Fitz is usually getting a lot of time in pocket today . I guess Fosters wrist feels much better after that 56 yd catch and run for TD.

I dunno if the D quit or is just totally gassed, maybe a little of each, but that was a really bad effort by them on that drive. Game is gettin away from us now.

almost like Bullocks missed FG took the starch out of our defense. We couldn't stop a run at all that drive by Eagles.

Wow, second INT by Rolle. and an INT by Buoye for TD early. Maybe these two guys ought to be our starting CB's if they can turn the ball over this well. Although perhaps their open field tackling isn't as good.

Maybe not at this point In the season, but IMO we cut our ties with JJo and Kareem Jackson. It seems like every other random DB is playing better. I'd rather deal with their young mistakes from time to time than JJo and KJaxs over paid ineptitude.

BTW Fitz is an idiot...
