I didn't know the f-word could be used so many different ways. Maybe this is just me, but there's got to be a better way of expressing anger and disgust than dropping an f-bomb every other word. Yeah, the Maragos play was really stupid and the field goal probably shouldn't have been attempted to begin with (I would have taken a knee there or at least used Tarvaris Jackson to hold on the field goal instead of someone that hasn't done it since college), but I think some people overreacted a bit much at the time. Giving up a touchdown there sucked, but being down 3 at halftime isn't the end of the world, especially when we were due to receive the second half kickoff. By the way people reacted, you would have thought that that play ended the game, not the half.
Anyway, we got lucky on a couple of occasions and did a horrible job of taking care of the ball at times, but we got the win. The fact that we're winning these games, even though they've been ugly for the most part, should be encouraging. We haven't played our best game yet and we're 5-1. There are years where we would play games like this and find ways to lose them more often than not, but that hasn't been the case this year. Now, I'm not suggesting that we can keep playing like this all season and expect to win a championship that way, but the more of these games we win now, the more dangerous we'll be when we finally get our act together and put together a complete game. Hopefully they got all the sloppiness out of the way in this game because they have two tough road games coming up.
