This could get ugly early. If that happens and the team mails it in early I sadly see a 4-12 season.

Last year, after that disappointing collapse in Baltimore, we really looked like we were finished and I expected them to be the Cards of old and roll over and play dead. Instead, they came together and finished strong. I don't expect a repeat. If we lose the opener embarrassingly we could be on an unstoppable slide. Every opponent in our division has improved IMO (and the Rams were nowhere near as bad as they played last season) and our non conference schedule is scary.

Somehow, between now and Sunday afternoon, I have to come up with a way to believe in this team. For me, it's just no fun going into a game with anything other than a positive attitude. I don't suppose you know where I can buy that stuff you're drinking? I'm gonna need a 5 gallon drum of it but price is no object.:)

The interior Oline is gonna be fine if not good. I don't care how PFFFTTT or other websites rate Snyder; he started a majority of the games for the 49ers who had a strong run game and protected Smith well.

Massie will make some mistakes and get beat quickly at times but he'll get ir done. Batiste has had some solid performances but we've only see him play OT during preseason so that's why I'm nervous about him.

Bones is going to progress before our eyes. I think because Ryan Williams can make something out of nothing a a lot out of something Defense's will finally have to play us more honestly.

Now it comes down to Whiz and Miller creating a game plan that makes the most sense for where this offense is right now.

$50 bucks a gallon and it's a mixture of spirits and .......

I'll drink to that. I'll mix some of this stuff up and let you know if it does the trick. I should know around 2 PM on Sunday. I actually think our rookie linemen and Skelton will improve as the season goes on but not enough to overcome our killer second half schedule. Flip the order in which we play this season and I could see us picking up 7 or 8 wins.

7-9. Though it could be 10-6. Or 5-11.

It's a hard team to gauge, because it's a pretty talented team, yet we suck badly at LT, RT, QB, and don't have a big time pass rusher. So I'll be conservative here.

How do we go 10-6? If Batiste and Massie work out and Skelton plays well, I think we go 10-6.

I think it's crazy comparing some of the Tobin, Mac, Green teams to some of these Whisenhunt teams. Back then we were literally counting on 10 players to step up their games to have winning years. Now it's 3 or 4.
