[KESpider]

Ugly! Now we will see who we are as a team in the second half.

And I said that before we went 3 and out and gave up another TD. Just awful considering we are in the season.

This is probably the most annoyed I have been watching this team in a long time.

This is not a good Maine team. We are really screwing over the season with this game. A lose here might force the need for two convincing wins over much better teams than Maine just to skid into the playoffs.

 

[spiderdevil]

Apparently they are cold, playing like they want to be somewhere else,

 

[SpiderVol]

Need to consider a change at QB for the 2nd half.

Rocco is struggling out there today.

 

[urfan1]

in spite of their record I knew their D was still good. 2 weeks to prepare is giving us real problems

 

[ViennaSpider]

I'm paying $7.95 for this! Can't believe the Spiders are playing so poorly. Wake up!

 

[SpiderVol]

It might be too late Vienna.

 

[SpiderFan]

Typical spiders since 2010 this game is in the books

 

[TBSpyder]

Tsk, tsk, such negativity. I'm predicting a Spider victory. And, for those who disagree with me on this forum, ...........

Anybody think we can shut them out in the second half and score 18 points? I need something so I can keep watching.

 

[spiderdevil]

I think they play two halves. Maybe we'll right the ship in the 2nd half with a quick score and some momentum!

 

[Eight Legger]

The highlight of this broadcast, Compliance Corner, is currently airing....

 

[paward]

We can right this ship.

 

[MolivaManiac]

Touche, TB. Welcome back. Again.

 

[Eight Legger]

Why is this game on Fox Sports Central? Fox is not good at geography, evidently.

 

[MolivaManiac]

Great question. How can I get a US Cellular account?

 

[32counter]

Helkowski was ripe for a punt block.Cosgrove scouted us well for an easy 7.

 

[MolivaManiac]

Good stop to start the 2h. Offense needs a drive now.

 

[MolivaManiac]

We need somebody with more confidence that Miller returning punts. We'd be better off putting on a punt block and leaving nobody back.

 

[Eight Legger]

I see that our punt return strategy is "Get out of the way and let the ball roll for 20 yards."

Apparently there are tons of Russell Westbrook fans in Maine...

 

[DTSpider]

Who told Danny Rocco we could make the playoffs with a win? I think the Liberty fans know this feeling.

I sure hope Strauss is ready for next week.

 

[DTSpider]

How do they miss the block in the back on Barnette there?

 

[ur2K]

Is Fisher hurt? Or do we just not like giving him the ball?

 

[urfan1]

I wondered the same thing, I can only listen, but it seems to me they are in Rocco's face on almost every play

 

[urfan1]

good drive, now we need a break on D

 

[DTSpider]

Actually had a decent looking drive. Green is as they ran some play action and screens. Moved the pocket and slowed down the Maine blitz a little. Really need a big defensive play here to get the ball back.

 

[Spider_Byte]

I can't believe they didn't let the clock run out before running that 3rd down...

 

[Spider_Byte]

**groans**

 

[DTSpider]

Unbelievably bad INT there. Stared down the guy the whole time. Double clutched and threw into double coverage.

I don't understand how anyone that watches this team can defend Michael Rocco and say he is a good qb. We have no shot unless Strauss comes back next week. It is a shame because the defense is starting to play championship football.

 

[whampas]

Not today.

 

[TBSpyder]

Rocco fires a pass to receiver, with two defenders already in front of him. Hard to see, why anyone thinks Rocco is a better QB than Strauss. Please, prove me wrong.

 

[Eight Legger]

Ballgame.

 

[whampas]

It's time for number 14. But Danny doesn't have the rocks.

 

[ur2K]

Terrible terrible effort today. Not a worthy performance of the #8 team. In the country

 

[spiderdevil]

4-0 in turnovers with 2 TD's scored is an uphill climb for even Tom Brady. Should have run the ball more with the lead in my opinion, but that's football

 

[SpiderVol]

We need to start the best players we have even if it costs is a redshirt year.

Rocco now has 9 INTs to 5 TDs. That is not sustainable winning football.

He has now cost us 13 points because of two terrible passes.

We have given up 23 points bc of 4 bad plays. We beat ourselves against UNH and almost did against Liberty and others and are now doing it again today.

See ya'll next week guys. Hopefully our coaching staff considers a change at QB if Strauss can't come back.

 

[32counter]

Gotta win next 2 games to make playoffs

With a loss today,we move from a 1st round bye to having to go 2-0 to possibly host a 1st round game.
