Sleep...now.
Mild thru the weekend here, unless the forecast has changed since I last looked. How goes, Misk?
There's no question that Troy wasn't up to his usual standard of excellence...let's hope he STAYS healthy this season. Ben also had an off-night. STILL, it was almost the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, and I'd have to say that 2 things killed it.
One was Rashard's fumble...and no, I don't give Matthews much credit for "stripping" the ball. It looked to me like Rashard was carrying the ball wrong, holding it up too high instead of tucking it in and protecting it...that was inexcusable in such a traffic jam. Result: Blondie got lucky when his shoulder pad happened to hit the ball.
The other was the penalty that put our boys so deep in the hole at the start of their last drive. IDIOTIC ! ! !
Well...woulda, coulda, shoulda. Maybe this year, there will be fewer injuries and mistakes, and nobody suspended.
I have to disagree with you not giving Matthews credit for the strip of Mendenhall.There's no question that Troy wasn't up to his usual standard of excellence...let's hope he STAYS healthy this season.

What about the drive to start the 2nd 1/2? Wasn't it all on the ground?Oh come on TK, Rashard couldnt hold onto a beer if it had TWO handles! and as for NFL films? well, even a broke watch is right twice a day!
