I really really hope something is figured out with running game for this weekend

I almost felt sorry for Mett when he was crawling off the field like a WW2 soilder pinned down by machine gun fire.

ALMOST felt guilty. Almost.

Was that gif from the same moment when Gary Danielson was saying "I love it."? He quickly clarified the statement by saying Mettenberger was a warrior or some such, but I remember in the moment thinking "That's a weird thing for a commentator to say when a guy is crawling on the field."

Well, he was genuinely concerned. I recall the moment well. He hated seeing hurt - was was relieved when he was able to get up.

It was the 4th sack in a row - wow what a defense. moment in timeline in clip....
