Only wish our defense would have found some sort of advantage given 8 months to find one.

Our defense didnt have anything to look at regarding the Eagles team. Once they did in the second half we allowed 5 first downs. The Eagles won't be a surprise much the second half:
The Eagles have had four years to watch our team's offense.
I saw that we had a problem not calling the proper protections in the second half. Using Griff as just a pocket passer is a waste of his talents. He started to be able to feel the rush in the second half and use his game to make off scheduled plays. This team doesn't scare me.
We still have the opportunity to be very good.
