This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Post being replied to

yeah, I would tend to think so by jt

I think that Sc is a shadow of their former self, but it is still good to beat them. I think that I would prefer to see a different scheme and that a lot of things get overlooked (such as an emphasis on proper blocking). I actually deviate from the mainstream here in thinking that our defensive strategy was sound and the correct one to take (you can see what would have happened had we played zone more by watching Sc's last drive).

I'm just surprised that these guys are able to devote an entire blog about this stuff, especially after the 2016 election. (oh, and all of the concussion/brain trauma issues as well and the fact that it's really just a bunch of kids throwing the ball around and did you expect us to be competitive in 2014 vs Sc? I didn't.)
