What I saw:

(1) Offensive line played better. Not great, by any stretch. Hell, probably not even good, but better.

(2) Larry Johnson had nearly 50 yards rushing in the first half. However, I attribute it to sheer persistence from the coaches to make sure we finally got some positive yards running the ball. Granted, LJ was probably -25 yards rushing in the 2nd half. There was no creativity, no real continuity between running and passing, just 50 yards rushing. In odd fashion, we never tried to take advantage of it with play action passing.

(3) The front 7 played well for about 2 series. Once, forcing a fumble. I thought the secondary played well. But, I've thought they played pretty well all year.

(4) The linebackers suck. It's almost as if they're not even there.

(5) Outside of the sack and fumble recovery, Manning had plenty of time to throw the ball.

(6) Cassel looked bad. It was hard to use the "he never had any time" excuse this week because he had time on a number of occasions. Not every occasion, but he had his chances for sure. He overthrew Bowe for a sure-fire TD. He underthrew Engram (or was it Wade?) for a sure-fire TD. He was behind on slants and way in front on outs. He looked pretty bad.

(7) I hate to complain about playcalling because I think playcalling is subject to execution almost exclusively. However, I will say that I never understood our run, run, run, run, run approach until we get to the 1 yard line. Then we go to shotgun and try and throw the ball. Plus, as mentioned, if we're going to run that much, we should throw in some play action.

(8) Colquitt is awesome. I bet his leg is sore today.
