but it appeared to me that from what I saw, it's the same old shit. Pass routes to the sidelines, hardly anything over the middle (although the pass to Kmet looked good and maybe that might work in the season), same delayed handoffs that take forever to get going.

In short, there was very little to get excited about. And Jurkovec looked really, really average.

We can't count on traditional rivals and otherwise very good teams to have off-years every season. I think this schedule has at least 3, maybe 4 losses on it.

open play (granted the ball was a little high) and Book running into the end zone when he would have been clobbered well short of the goal line if he wasn't in the protective red jersey.

to take shots downfield.
