... And made some memorable plays that seasoned all-pros would be envious of.

One of my favorites of the season was this pass break up by Pritchett. It's straight 'Matrix' reflex stuff.




There have been so many 'extraordinary effort ' plays this year from our 2nd stringers. It's been inspiring to see.

It’s wild our defense is still extremely good regardless of who is out. Players are stepping up, coaches are coaching and Macdonald and his scheme work. It’s been fun to watch.

No doubt. I think the garbage time scores they give up this season have skewed how good they really are. Several games they have been way up, only to see some 4th quarter scores make the game look much closer. Drives me insane, but it's clear that's just how they roll.
The system he has put in has made 2nd and 3rd string players look pretty damn good.

Honestly, the poor officiating really had a hand in trying to swing momentum the other way in the 2nd half.

Ready squad players stepping up.

Some props for Pili. He's been in on goal line stands, he's stopped 4th downs, and he had a takeaway on special teams.
