Lions

As I mentioned in an earlier post IF we could handle the Bears , the biggest concern is going to be a let down against a losing team(Lions). If we play as we are capable, and win, it will show we have matured as a team. Also, regarding the Bears, we looked like a dysfunctional family in the first quarter. Another sign of maturity was pulling it together. I think the coaches felt that after two weeks of teams seeing our films, it was time to maybe try a different style of play. Once I saw the long sustained drive, I felt we were going to be back into the game. I also posted earlier about running the bootleg in the redzone. I think what you saw Brooks do on the TD run was exactly was I was referring to. :) Great win, no let down. 4-0 would be a great start.

I think this team is to determined to have a let down and over look the Lions. After all they have the same amount of wins as does Pittsburgh. (unbelivable) I see them ready to go next week and this game ending early.

No offense meant, but that wasn\'t a bootleg. It was Brooks scrambling. I do agree that they should run more roll outs and bootleg\'s tho...

No offense taken, it didn\'t come out right. You are right it wasn\'t a bootleg, I was using his ability on that play as an example, of what we could do if we bootlegged.
