This is the way. White at home, dark on the road. But, white pants either way! No mas all red!

Worst kept secret…

Oh no, the secret's out!

 

[Absolute Zero]

Oh no, the secret's out!

Yep...shhhh!

Maybe Josh Dobbs will be a pleasant surprise?

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Maybe Josh Dobbs will be a pleasant surprise?

He didn't play poorly with Tennessee last year and he had 1 week to prep for his 1st game and no Henry in the back field. His 2nd game was much better and they probably would have beaten JVille, but he got strip sacked and that cost Tennessee the game.

Edit to add, that was a much higher pressure situation with Tennessee battling for a playoff spot and higher expectations, than what he's walking into in AZ.

 

[BritCard]

Washington's OLine is probably the weakest link on their team. We saw some success with our first unit, with better OLines than Washington's.

I'm not saying we will see success. I just wouldn't put it past us either. I wouldn't be surprised if we got 3 sacks let's say.

Easily. Brandon Thorn ranked it the 31st worst O line in the league.

Leno, Charles, Gates, Cosmi, Wylie is not a good line.

Interesting, thanks Ron!

So Sunday it will be a scenario where the resistible force meets the moveable object. Haha.

If not for the weather forecast, I'd definitely go over.

You think having more than half this Board eat crow is pleasant?

There's a lot of speed in our pass rush which lesser tackles are going to struggle with.

Our problem will come against good tackles as we don't have the technique or experience, but speed is always a danger.

 

[SECTION 11]

We’re going to win this one by some jencky score like 22-18. Book it DanO.

This is Section 11, I’m having technical difficulties so I’m wearing this masterful disguise.

It could happen. I have my doubts our journeyman DLine is any better, but I guess.

I'm not counting on it either. In order to have a chance of winning, it will need to happen. Since I think this is the only game that I think they have a realistic chance in the first 5 weeks, it's telling.

IF we can get Howell to turn it over a couple of times. Tipped balls, strip sack, force some bad throws... whatever.

then maybe, maybe we could squeak out a victory on Sunday.

 

[SECTION 11]

It’s like I banned myself for the last two weeks. Heeerp derp. Derp.

Gridiron Uniform Database says Red Tops and white Pants. I hope so.

I hate to read that there is a VG chance that the game will be played in bad weather.

Welcome to the bandwagon...I've been saving your seat.

That might be a sucker's bet. 14.5 requires the Cardinals to score 3 times.

Does a 2 pt conversion count as a score? If so, the point after would too, right? Or would 2 TD's with 1 2pt conversion just count a 2 scores, or 4 scores?

 

[Garthshort]

Very duable (Sp?) when you throw in two pick six's.

Yeah but Vegas isn't being technical like that. Odds say Cardinals or any team usually goes for 1. So highly probable that 14.5 would mean 3 or more scores.
