And was really worried coming into the season. And it turns out he's still a turnover machine. If you have Retzlaff the same stats and the offense the same final points but took out the three turnovers I would still be upset, but not nearly as much.

99% of us don't care about "other" offenses.

You didn't answer the question. I accept your surrender.

Yeah we have been through this before. The red flags we saw in Sept wins were full on commie parades in Oct-Nov.

Sure but we’ve also seen teams overcome slow starts on offense

Except it is a pattern with ARod, just like it was with Tuiaki.

Everyone was saying this last year when we were 5-2 also. No reason to be blind to the problems just because we're 2-0.

We always start off 2-0. Then the wheels come off. If we can score 40+ on Wyoming it will give ARod some breathing room.
