Finish! We shoulda, woulda, coulda scored 45-48 points this game but I will take 500 plus yards gained each and every game win or lose. We will win more games than not with that kind a offensive production.

I'm signing off to celebrate and enjoy this win - it has been a long time coming!
 
leaving so many points on the field, but at least not we are avg 30 a game with the issues and not 15 a game
 
I know that we left a lot of points on the board [two failed 4th down TD attemps inside the 3, two missed FGs] that might have put some lipstick on today's pig.

But it is hard to believe that we had 550+ yards. Just didn't feel that way, especially with how we played in the first half. The silver lining [hopefully] is that we've been playing reasonably well on offense, so when we don't completely excel it seems subpar. I would have killed for 500 yards of offense last year, after all.

But I'm surprised to see those numbers, post game. We did wrack up a lot of big plays in the second half, but it didn't feel like a 550+ yard game.
 
I'm encouraged by the way the defense played in the second half.

Stony Brook is a good offensive team.

If i were motivated I'd love to figure out how many yards we get in the marginal plays from playing fast and getting more plays ( not marginal as in bad but as in extra plays at the margin) . Would also love to know how most defenses do on those marginal plays

Comes in bursts many plays in

I was thinking as went 3 and out a few times that at least we did it fast and left probably 5-6 more min on the clock

we ran an 11 play drive in under 3 min. a 5 play 78 in 1:26 a nine play 85 yd drive in 3:30

8 drives of 40 yds or more none taking 4 min.
 
My bad it wasn't 550 yards - we had 335 yards passing, 214 yards rushing = 549 yards total offense. We must be slipping...

There's no negative to 550 yards my friend. Only you would try to find fault in it because it's not the type of offense you want them to run.
 
Anglerman i was defending the offense. More plays are good. Defenses wear down. Nothing about that was negative. I still bring out the stupid in people

Just love how this team rises/lowers to its level of competition! Played way under their heads yesterday and left me breathlessly underwhelmed. Look out Minnesota!

No we will put a hurting on Minny because we are on the road and we will not be looking past them since it's the last game before a bye week.
