    Thomas SHOULD have scored at the end of the half on that shuffle pass. that was a really creative call with the motion and he would have waltzed into the endzone but we missed a block. again 'this close' to blowing it wide open.

    i agree; he runs really tough between the tackles, but has the patience to find the seams. Gilliam is REALLY good at the off-tackle run. he almost put the game away with 2 or 3 10+ yard runs on that last drive (make the FG and its over). Thomas has also really improved in the passing game, both as a receiver and protector. I'm guessing they feel a bit more flexibilty with Gilliam, so they stay with him a little longer.

    looking back....we were 'this close' to blowing that game out. Doss had his hands on a ball in the endzone on the first drive (TOUGH catch, but one we have come to expect of him) and we settled for FG. And, we couldn't get it into the endzone after that incredible catch before the end of the half. get both of them, and its 24-6 at the half with us getting the ball. I know they were lamenting their INT's , but the first one of ours should have been caught and led to a scoring opportunity (they missed a LONG field goal, so credit our D). the 2nd INT led to one of their redzone INT's, so kind of a wash.

    i know there's some 'IF's' there, but if ONE of those had been TD's instead of FG's, we'd have been in a position to turn up the heat on defense in the 2nd half (instead of the run-first approach we had to play, leaving the flats open). but, its a WIN!

    Quick check on southwest, two adults non stop from either San Jose or Oakland would total about $1400. A little too steep, especially in December

    I think Hawk was pointing to his head to acknowledge Maier dancing around for 2-3 seconds before the first kneel down. Those seconds were just enough so we didn’t have to give them back the ball

    My wife and I were looking at flights to Spokane from Bay Area. The ‘wanna get aways’ Frday non stops out of San Jose were the best deals; about as easy to fly out of there than Oakland for us. We are staying put though; have to skip the 28 degree weather

    I’m exhausted! Fun game. It felt like we had chances to put them away, kept them around and it got hairy. We had the ball at the 2 after Doss’ phenomenal catch but settled for a FG. It felt like being up 20-6 and getting the second half kickoff could have put them on their heels. Then the INT that kick the WR In hands at the 5 was the other. Score there and it felt over. We fortunately picked them off after the long return but lost momentum. The other INT was very uncharacteristic and I think led to a TD.

    Finally, make the relatively short FG late and it’s over.

    Run D was exceptional. Their big TE/WR had some big YAC’s. Run game was solid, pass game good in first half, struggled with pressure in second.

    Damn, a playoff win!! That was fun

    If anyone is hanging around in Davis after the game, maybe we can share a celebratory drink after downtown. I’m staying over

    So we have 9 pages of comments and we still have TWENTY hours before kickoff. That’s a little different

    I’ll stick with weather underground; they rarely let me down. Shows little chance (<20) between 10 and noon, falling to 5% or so after. Total rainfall predicted to be 0.05 inches. Sounds clear to me. The brim might be damp. Bring a tarp
