Fan claims · every quote verified verbatim

player performanceLimited signal that season

fans believe the offensive line is allowing too many sacks

I really hope we can see the O-line give him breathing room like this for the rest of the season

yeah he’s a great qb (fuck all the anti madsen folks) but it’s the o line breaking that makes him need to scramble.

One fan believes referees are missing obvious fumbles

If the refs knew what they were doing, we might’ve gotten that second fumble
