Love that our team is composed of a bunch of "no-name" guys who aren't Divas. This is a huge reason why our team has the chemistry it does!

Paulsen has really developed into a fantastic run-blocker. He's a HUGE part of why Mr. Plow got 200 yards against the Turds, and why he's a 1600-yard back this year. He's had some nice catches also; just another unsung hero on this team that's filled with them!

What is the officiating crew assigned to our game? I've looked at a couple of sources but couldn't find it. A couple of games this season were significantly affected by the officials in my opinion.

Really hoping Ed Hochuli's crew is not involved. Also hoping that we don't get refs who love to throw PI flags. Nothing worse than having a 30 or 40 yard PI penalty go against you in the playoffs. I'll refrain from jumping on my soapbox and saying the college game has it correct with 15 yard max PI penalties.

That catch he made where he held onto the ball while the defender was trying to strip it, was EPIC. He was reaching away from his body to catch the ball and hold onto it, so he literally had to fend off the defender's stripping attempt with his mere fingers alone, and not only held onto it, but made sure he got the first down. Heroic attempt.

Definitely the antithesis of some of his drops, especially during the opening drive on Thanksgiving and against the Steelers. Hopefully he's done with drops for the remainder of the season. We really need for him to continue to come up clutch, especially on 3rd down.

Paulsen is an undrafted free agent brought in to be an in line blocker.

He is catching balls not only because of the loss of Davis but because Niles Paul has disappeared off the radar screen on offense.

Not to be snarky, but it appears the wait for the next Shannon Sharpe still goes on.

How do these ESPN bloggers get their jobs? Its obviously not because of their journalism skills. ESPN NFC West blogger Mike Sando says Griffin is "basically running the Baylor offense." Ummm, you sir have zero clue.

He did that in the Carolina Panthers game too.

Hopefully we can go after FA Jared Cook from TN. He is young, huge and catches the ball well. We would be alright next year with Paulsen and Cook and hopefully Paul could step up a little, remain the 3rd string TE and keep being the ST ace he's been in all 4 facets of ST...not including FG's or extra points.
