I thought your keys were good country, however:
No sacks of Ben and he threw for over 300 yards - push
WTF won the TO battle late which gave them their last 3 points and helped secure the game - small check
Neither team ran the ball, WTF with 40 something and Pittsburgh with less than 20 - small check, WTF ran better but no one dominated from the offensive side in the run game
I think at least 4 passes batted down by the WTF. Sweat might have had three himself.

1st and goal inside the 5 - great defensive stance.
Couple of stops on 3rd or 4th and one.
Cam Sims and Logan Thomas.

I'd say a pretty good game plan by you country. :thumb:
I also said the part of getting after Big Ben was batting his throws with the defensive lines length

I believe that is port and starboard daughter of a Naval guy!! Forward and aft too.
When I was tiny, Dad would remind me that left which is a smaller word equaled port which is also a smaller word... heh

Let's see, bow and stern. I'm giving out of names for naval vessels since I crawled in the jungles of Viet Nam while you guys had a clean bunk to sleep in every night aboard ship. How could I have been so stupid?

Thank you for your service and what you did.

That was my job for 15 years dad, from missiles on F-14s to nuclear missiles on submarines. I love BOOM!!

I hear you my friend and those 155mm howitzers that felt like an earthquake under my feet when we launched a 95 lb. round went BOOM too and 16 miles downfield that round created an earthquake of its own when it exploded. No wonder I can't hear good out of my left ear today.

Tell me about it but please speak into my right ear since my left ear might not hear you very well.
Jet engines took out all the midtones in my hearing. I bet just like me you wouldn't have traded it for anything. Serving my country and playing with some of the coolest toys in the world was more fun than a person should be allowed to have. I have never asked for a dime from the government, I knew what I was getting into and have no regrets.

I agree with you 100%. The only regrets I have is the sadness I went through at such a young age seeing some of my fellow marines get cut in half with machine gun fire with a head laying here, a leg laying there, and an arm laying somewhere else. I continue to thank God everyday for allowing me to get back home in one piece. I mean that and I should be ashamed of myself for complaining about some hearing loss in my left ear.
