SKOLding Hot Takes – 5 things to be happy about, 5 things we need to improve

5 things to be happy about, 5 things we need to improve Well the game vs the Cowboys was shocking, horrible from the first drive to the last, and I wish it just never happened. As we are now just over half way through the season, it’s time to take stock. Time to look…
