Good game, TT. Congrats on the win and good luck vs. Denver and for the rest of the playoffs![/quotef160076]
Yes, good game indeed. After looking amazing in the first possession, we seemed to keep going deep on first downs earning us a familiarity message in the first quarter

. I am looking forward to the patch as I still cannot figure this gameplanning crap out. We should have rushed more than 25 times (not counting the QB srambles)or at least passed less than 36 times anyway.
We finally had good position in the takeaway battle yet the first play after the first fumble recovery we throw a pick in the endzone. WTF. Run the ball. Eat some clock. I'm all for going for the jugular but not in that situation. The second turnover was a little further away and instead of going for the jugular (would do it from outside the red zone) we do nothing and try to kick a FG which was blocked. So, two turnovers result in nothing. Ain't gonna work the rest of the way.
Undrafted rookie kicker, Ben Bruner, ends up with game MVP honors despite missing a long one and having one blocked. He's had the most impact as a rookie for us this year and may be a long term solution at the position, especially if he can keep banging in the 50+ yarders.
We look forward to playing Denver for the chance at getting Tucson in the Conference Championship game. What's the consolation prize, two games against Tucson in the Conference Championship game?

What a kick in the nuts. Go Santa Cruz!
