As I mentioned elsewhere it was tough to judge in the weather but here's a few things I saw from Saturday's game
1) Tolzien can hit his targets
2) Starks looks fast
3) The O-Line and WR all did a good job of staying on their blocks
4) Our secondary looked a lot less lost than last year.
5) I know it was raining like all hell but CATCH THE DAMNED KICK
I like the new extra point thing, I hope they eventually go with it

The Quarless drop and the one by Harper in the extra point were poor throws. The big catch by Harper was over the wrong shoulder and forced him to spin around to make a great play on the ball. Getting it to the receiver is good, but hitting them in stride makes for a lot more YAC and a lot fewer drops.
He was also late on his throws to the outside. The receivers came out of their breaks and had to wait for the ball. If the DBs had been starters, they would have been knocked away or worse. He made those plays closer than they should have been. In a real game, you can't be that late with your throws.
He didn't look as sharp as his stats would suggest.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.
