This ball control offence requires mistake free football for 10-12 plays each drive but it hasnt happened. Two killer fumbles and Fabian holding call all sniffed out promisIng drives. Receivers picking big up little in the way of YAC yards. 9-6 halftime score not going to sell a lot of tickets.

Two turnovers....Gore and Allan fumbles and Fabian's holding call hurt offensive momentum....Gore just giving extra effort and it was stripped and Allen was hit just as he was handed the football. Steward was badly beaten on the play with a quick swim move and Lemon was in our backfield. Allen had an excellent first half running the football. He looked good. Toronto started putting 5 men on the line of scrimmage to try to take away our run.

Jennings just missed Iannuzzi on a post who cut in a little more on the post move than Jennings anticipated....so close and no cigar.

Defensively, we played well overall but just too many lapses. A penalty took away a huge Toronto pass play and then we let Toronto off the hook with two sloppy defensive plays. Adam Bighill had a terrible first half.

We used a lot of 3 man defensive line in the first half.

Special team tackling coverage breakdowns haven't helped.

Phillips sure sniffed out a quick screen and looked gone....a great anticipation play and too bad he didn't hang on for a Pic 6.

We gotta play better offensively in the second half and put some drives together.

We've been a good second half team so far this season...we'd better be in this game if we want to go 3-0.

Excellent run by Allen nullified by holding

Penalties and fumbles killing any momentum the offence has had this game.

Defence has been on the field too long. Ray is starting to make plays
