this is obviously a game the D has to win, as long as borges doesn't lose it.  bo-style field position ball.  right now we have 2 runs and 3 pass plays.  we will lose at that ratio.  2 runs vs every pass should do it.  a punt isn't a bad thing in this game.

Let the game play out a little.  At least give it an entire half before we start to point out how much we suck at this position and that position.  We are playing on the road and the home team is fired up, the fans are fired up, and they know we have a backup in.  Let us settle in a little and see what happens with a larger sample size.  Let's not get down on our guys at the first sign of adversity.  Give them some time.

Strength equipment is expensive and guarantees you nothing.  A strong will is free and can give you everything you want.
