Well........here goes:

--Cardale drives me crazy. I think he is stupid. How can you not be ready for a snap when the play clock is at 1? He didn't watch the play clock the entire game.

--His footwork is awful. He doesn't make good reads. His accuracy is inconsistent. But, he has a good arm. LOL I never thought our QB would be hurting us.

--Zeke is a stud. I love when we run him between the tackles. Feed Zeke!!!

--Number 54 is hurting us on the OL. He is the LG. The RG is playing very well.

--Number 59 on the DL had a very good game. Bosa played better. Washington had another good game.

--McMillian was a stud yesterday, He made a lot of plays.

--Teams should not run to the edges on Ohio State. We are too fast. They have more success running in the A and B gaps.

--Our play calling was better, but I still don't get why we run wide when Zeke was tearing it up between the tackles?

--The coaching staff seemed to lose faith in Cardale late in the game. I hope JT starts next week.

--I think Hubbard is going to end up being a very good player.

--I hold my breath every time Marshall gets the ball. I either expect him to take it all the way or fumble. I kinda feel the same way about Wilson. Btw---was Wilson trying to get a block in the back on the 2 yd. line on Zeke's first TD? LOL

--I think we stay at number 1. Florida State did last year despite worse performances. Mich. St barely won. Ole Miss got crushed. ND lost. TCU has struggled except for yesterday. It's not a big deal. Just gotta stay in the top 4.

They really don't. They miss Devin Smith terribly. I also think they don't have much in the TE game, and miss Jeff Hiermann.

Cardale is missing throws though. And when there is nothing there, he's just holding on to the ball. He's gotta learn to just throw it away, or if he has a lane, take off and run.

They need to be better on first down. It's just like the Browns. They really struggle on first down.

His last touch he had his elbow and the ball up and out exposed for grabs.. The ball came out...fortunately the ground caused it.

I kind of agree with both of these things. I think Jones is just athletically gifted and happens to have an incredible body for football. But, I really think that he has very little between the ears. I doubt that JT would take those horrible sacks that Jones did. I think his footwork is a direct result of his lack of pocket presence. He's like RG3, has no idea when he's getting pressure or where it is coming from.

As for the play clock play, I think Urban should have called a timeout. No one was lined up correctly and I think the center just snapped because he saw the clock. It seemed like he was the only one ready for that play. Really bad clock management. That could have become a very crucial drive for us, the coaching staff did us no favors on that play.

Regardless of who plays QB, I think OSU is missing Devin Smith and Evan Spencer quite a bit. These WR don't seem to be as open as often this year. I also don't like Vannett as much as I liked Heuerman at TE.

The loss of Tom Herman is glaring .. Lack of confidence in Jones ( come the fourth quarter ) glaring .. Team is not going undefeated this season .

The defense showed show flaws in their armor as well. Offense can't keep turning the ball over. However I've always felt the defense was just a type of defense meant to protect leads.

Yesterday stunk up my TV. Individually stupid people did repeatedly stupid things. Penalties are horrid. Our offensive play calling was confusing. Feed Zeke.

Ohio State has won because they have more talent than the other team. Very out of sync and they don't have any identity.

Another crappy opening series... We'll be lucky to score 20...

They had this team 3rd and long and a penalty sets up 3rd and short. It's just like watching the Browns!

And the defense just gives them an easy TD on a series that started inside their own 20...

We'll win this game, but I just don't like this team

We have errands to run and I was hoping to do it at halftime when we were winning 28-0... Looks like that's not happening...

musical chairs at QB here

And they have to keep being cute with everything. Feed Zeke... The end.

I was hoping this would be the locked-in starter game...looks like Urban may just keep the rotation as more situational?

looks like Cardale will be the QB until the red zone ... at least for now

Honestly starting to think losing would be good for this team. They need a wake up call.

Can we criticize Urban Meyer yet or is that still not allowed?

This team is making me hate Saturdays as much (maybe more) as the Browns make me hate Sundays, unless it's a bye week...

Did you already try to do that and you caught grief? I really don't anyone is above reprieve here.

Our D has played horribly today and we were supposed to beat this team by 31.5 points?

I blame the players for being full of themselves.

This will sound arrogant, but I never fear this team losing. They've got too many great players. I'm terrified of us having consistently bad habits though.

Man do Marshall and Miller break a lot of ankles or what? They have some sick moves!!

Michael Thomas is REALLY good.

This QB can't freaking throw a completion, but has rushed for damn near 150 on this defense. Why are they not spying him?

15 yard run on 4th and 8. This is getting freaking ridiculous!!!

Defensive line has lost contain all game.


Maryland is idiotic. How do you leave Joey Bosa 1 on 1 with a freshmen tackle?

Zeeeeeeekkkkeeeee!!!

Winner winner chicken dinner

another lackluster win (better than lackluster losses like the Browns have each Sunday)

but I don't see this team trending upward at all ... we seem so BLAH ... and I don't think we've played anyone yet.

As long as he's winning, I don't think you can. Plus, if a Cleveland coach wasn't doing well after a championship season, I wouldn't care.

So how do we all feel about Braxton in the draft?

OSU had better get it together, because that team up north is back!

I was thinking about the same thing.

Before the Indiana game I made a bold prediction, OSU will lose to Michigan state and um. I really think we need to start JT. I think the upside to cardell is his big arm, but if you don't have a Devon smith to go get that deep ball, JT is a better choice for this offense.

Braxton is a beast!

Developmental still. But getting this year to start the transition is HUGE for him. So talented with the ball. I hope he goes to a situation where they can afford to be patient with him, because he could be special in the NFL.
