Leathernecks

Allen was literally thrown to the ground and then targeted.

Hard to catch a pass when a defender is holding one of your arms.

This officiating is just garbage.

There are worse situations to be in. 

Like being down 31-3 at half.

I would have to think McFadden is getting them fired up in the locker room. Really need to respond to start the half. Terrible call, but our guys have to realize we're more than just 1 player.

Just sickening how much that targeting cost us.

Really hope we can get this into field goal range. That targeting was a major gut punch. Getting points here would get the energy back.

That's so freaking stupid. That's not why the rule is there. He was pushed, and Ridder was hit and moving forward. Such a terrible interpretation of that rule.

Our DL has gotten more pressure this game than they've had in a while. Love seeing Handy get in there.

May we say we have them rattled? that is what, 4 false starts?

At least. They are definitely rattled.

Should be a 3 score game. Iowa had buried us by this point.

Maybe. The 4th down and TO have kept them pinned deep in their own territory the entire quarter. Maybe it got our defense fired up to make stops. Impossible to speculate how things might have been.

There we go! Great job! 

My poor dog is not having a peaceful nap.

I LOVE OUR DEFENSE!!!

Son of a....

Great blitz pickup, great pass, great catch.

Niiiiice! Best throw of the season.

Why not take point?

I don't have any issue with it. If you want to play aggressive, you need to make some aggressive calls. The way we had been moving the line, it seemed like a safe bet.

Man, nothing happening on that 4th down call. I don't have an issue with going for it, but just no push.

OL doing ok so far ya'll think? 

They definitely came to play today!

Man, there gave been more good play calls today than all of this year and last year combined. 

I hope our OL holds up today. They were saying it is over 100 degrees on the field. Hope guys like Jones can stay fresh.

See, those are the plays we've been missing. Make the defense think twice before going all out on a pass rush.

Have we ever had announcers say our crowd noise is affecting the other team? This might be a first.
