re: What's your take on the game?

Agreed, reedus. While I'm excited about Lock, this is Mauk's team right now and it should be. Mauk has the experience, and that will be critical as the competition improves. Lock is the future, but we need Mauk to play well. We have very young receivers who made some mistakes and will continue to do so. Their drops made Mauk look worse, and while admittedly his performance wasn't great, it did the job.

I also believe having Hans and Boehm go down early screwed us up. Obviously, Hans is the biggest part of the running game. And losing Boehm's experience and leadership on the OL hurt. I don't think the loss there can be underestimated. Hope they're both ready to go for next week's game.
