THIS...This is why we need teleporter technology.

I need a Hungry Howies, some Better Mades, and some Red Pop for Sunday, and it just ain't gonna happen on the Mexican border.

I'm a bad fan because I would rather be outside golfing vs. sitting in front of a TV?

Just consider the source Tom.

Personally I'd almost rather have a conversation with hoopster than Alex. At least his brand of retard was sometimes comical.

I'll be in church I guess I'm a bad fan too.

I'll be watching the game, but in all fairness football is my church.

I bet on games every week, which is kind of like tithing, and I participate Sunday, Monday, and Thursday, so I'm very devout.

Amen to that. Johnson be with you.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Hopefully we can start this season off with a W.

Scared of screens/draws (especially screens). Also worried about settling for FGs instead of TDs.

I loled at the tithing part. AKA even when you win vegas wins.

For the first time in years I am not worried about screens. Especially to Ansahs side. He is so instinctual with them and since we have bigger corners and actual safeties now we should be improved in that area. But the FGs instead of TDs is a real fear.

Lets hope you're right. A DE making a play on a RB screen is one heck of a play, most of the time a LB is making that play and the best one we had for sniffing out screens plays for the Cowboys.

A DE can take the option away or make it harder and effect the blocking something we have seen from ansah during the preseason. Also Levy looked good in preseason so that was nice to see. Maybe this year can be his.

I'm excited. I'll be on here after the game tomorrow to read the aftermath and or celebration.

Until then here's this:

LKP:

On runs over 5 yards we will have a ypc of over 5.0.

Our number 2 WR this year will be a 750 yd WR...aka he might get 46 yds in the game....yippie.

Pettigrew will have a big day. 10 catches 45 yards 4 drops. he might be a 750 yd wr this year too...hes so pro.

Stafford only throws picks on 1st and 3rd downs while the wind is going north east and west......meaning he limits his mistakes on 4th downs and leads the league on 2nd down with the wind blowing south. top 10.

Carey will lock down Jennings when delmas goes down.
