Has anyone thought about this matchup? our D against arguably one of the best QBs to ever take a snap?

Brady was injured in 2008 and we were manhandled by Cassel in the snow.

This will be a great litmus test for our defense. Enough pounding on clowns like Wilson, Tavaris, Seneca, and Dalton. Bring on Giselle's main squeeze

I thought that was Brady in the snow, he just put Cassel's jersey on...those tricky Pats, don't put nothing past Belichick :)

No, I'm trying to ignore this one. Most likely, we get smoked like the last joint at a party. Gently at first, then tossed around to every tom, dick and harry to puff like the antidote is inside. Then some wastoid will pick it up off the ground and try to spark off one last hurrah. That wastoid is probably going to be Woodhead who will bust a 60 yarder on us.

Not going to be pretty. At least it isn't in December.

This will be an ass kicking on the scale of the third reich versus France... But I will not despair! We're beating the eagles in two weeks to make up for it!

Yea like I said in other thread don't really care. If we come out of this healthy I'll consider it a major coup.

Yet people on here will be panicking if and when we lose.

This! You can't tell me Kolb isn't itching to beat those guys.

The Cardinals dont have much of a chance. The "Crazy Cards" however, do have a chance. That means the use of wild special teams plays, jungle ball, perfect tipped balls, and fish out of water fumbles.

If the craZy Cards go to NE, they have a chance.

The odds against us no doubt but if we can survive the 1st quarter, we may look good.

I'm still probably drunk off the kool-aid, and I'm not saying I think we'll win, but am I the only one who thinks it could be closer than most people will think? Their defense seems improved but still has a lot to prove, as does their offensive line. I think our defense is elite, so very interested to see what they look like against an elite offense. Kolb has looked best in a two minute offense -- I say screw it and play up tempo for better or worse and see if our defense can actually get one more stop than their defense. We probably won't be able to hang with them in a shootout, but might as well try to let 'er rip.

Its gonna be a bloodbath.





* I really think itd be a good idea to start Lindley.

Here why: We arent gonna win. Period. So why put Kolb out there to get injured? WE need to pick and choose our battles now that Skeltons out.


If (when) Kolb goes down, we are going to be in some rough shape.

Agreed. Up the tempo on that young D, let kolb try and sling it.

I don't disagree with your last sentence, but are you serious man?! I'm sure the team will rally around a coach who doesn't trust his team enough to even try in a game that they should lose. Are we the Korean badminton team all of the sudden?!

I hope we demolish the Eagles. Dog-killer threw 4 picks today and his team barely beat the Browns. I hope our D scores a few times against the Eagles.

We need to break out Housler in this game. Show them Gronk and Hernandez who? :D

Hopefully Whiz and company have been game planning for the Pats the entire off season. I don't think we win but to have a respectable showing would be nice.

If Horton can create pressure then......well I won't pick the Pats against us in the survivor league but I bet many an NFL fan does this week.

Early Vegas odds have us as a 13.5 underdog with the o/u at 49

We need to blitz & pressure Brady relentlessly. If you can knock him down early, he does get a little skittish. This will be a nice pschological challenge for this team. We'll see what kind of intestinal fortitude we have this early in the season. To me, it's a win win situation. NO expectations to win, NO expectations to even play well. So play loosy goosy & knock Brady down EVERY chance you get. Take some chances on offense too! Bring a chip on your shoulder, play downright nasty, even if we see a few yellow flags in the process! If for some miracle, we find ourselves in position to steal one, that would just be icing on the cake.

Brady got smacked in the face yesterday. Kicked in the nose. Didn't seem to rattle him at all.

I would also hope if we win the coin toss we won't defer this time.

I don't get Whiz, I know we have a good defense and I guess he thinks getting it first to start the 2nd half is better, but game after game he defers.

Take the ball first and try to get a lead.

I think we're gonna lose big, but:

1. I'm looking forward to seeing what Horton can do against the evil empire.
2. I'm looking forward to seeing what our running game can do against NE.
3. I've got Gronk on my FF team, so I'm looking for a big win in the office.

Go Cards!!!
