I was frustrated with Retzlaff and, if I'm being honest, kinda wanted coaches to

replace him with Bohannon in the 2nd half. But then I got onto CB and the over-the-top bashing on Retzlaff made me want the coaches to stick with him.

But I think your level-headed post changed my mind again. It makes a lot of sense to give Bohannon a shot in the next game.

But I'll be a big Retzlaff fan as long as the coaches stick with him. I'll also be a big Bohannon fan if/when he gets put in.

I keep hearing that the offensive staff didn't hold Retzlaff accountable for his turnovers...

Yep, because Vegas knows nothing about setting the betting line

If we had an RB or WS fumbling the ball like Retzlaff they'd never see the field

The defender fell down, but as he got up, recognized that it was a screen pass and moved over into the throwing lane.

Sure, it was a good play by the defender but I'm not sure even Tom Brady would have seen him

When did Brady throw blindly to a spot he couldn’t see? Retzlaff has 2 picks in

I'm not sure what could have been done. It seems that they had it probably the best option they could

No one is asking for a freshman QB - we wanted a transfer QB that was good

What do you mean, not bowl eligible? Are that on probation again?

They will not win 6 games this season, rendering them bowl ineligible. You have to win 6 games to go to a bowl.
