one thing sticks out - but could be misleading...

they score the most pts in the 4th qtr. usually a good thing. Here, with a team 3-7 , may mean they were getting some soft yardage/pts in garbage time. Just the same, we have to keep them from getting 4th qtr pts.

If Pro is the opposite of Con, what is the opposite of Progress? Congress!

agreed, Phil

I’d like to see a domination from start to finish, but I fear it’ll be a neck-and-neck shootout down to the wire, with both defenses playing quite sloppily on the short week.

It's gonna be a great year.
