They may as well not even bother to show up.

OLB is Falcons in a blow out! Everything else you said was pretty accurate, though.

Well Shanle is under-rated, and we kicked the tires on Peterson once and passed. Gregg Williams knew something about the 34 year old Peterson he didn't like.

Weatherspoon is an unproven rookie (with huge potential).

I'll give them the nod, but not a blowout.

I'll say that's pretty accurate, but as far as TE Gonzalez is pretty damn good. Collectively I'd probably say our TEs are better though.

We will win because it's our destiny and what Danno said!

Thats what I meant. I think Gonzo is better than Shockey, but Thomas is far better than Peele. But since both of our TE's contribute so much I gave a slight nod to us.

This arguably could have been a draw, but I chose us. And oh yeah... I'm biased.

I think Shockey is a better blocker than gonzalez, both can catch.

I agree with that. And Shockey's spit-in-your-eye, no-way-you'll-stop-me attitude is a major plus for the rest of the team. He is a leader, albeit an unconventional one.

shanle can't cover a TE if he was riding on there back.....

i bet he can spell their.

sharper referred to shanle as under rated. i'll take his word for it.

Activate JUNIOR

Danno...said we might have a hard time earlier...didn't you? Win/win for you now...

Oh; Junior?!

If we play like we did last week, we will lose, which isn't a win-win at all.

No...not for all of us...but for those who predicted a possible loss and follows that with a thread that tells us why we will win...either way it comes out you will be able to say, "I told you so!" win/win for you.

We will win if we play well, no doubt about it. I am predicting a win.

The ONLY way we lose this game is if the O-Line and D-line play like crap, like they did in San Fran.

I'm not really a "told you so" kinda guy. And if I'm predicting a win here, and picked them in the experts pick-em, how exactly would I say "I told you so"?

"I told you if we played like crap we'd lose" - Wow, not exactly Nostradamus-esque.

OK, how about if our O-Line and D-line play like crap again and we lose, I promise I won't say "I told you so". :bng:

We will win because Payton will have a simple game plan (because of the short practice week). Nothing fancy--the players will know they have to execute to win. Nicks and Evans will dominate, PT will roll, and the offense will eat up time of possession and score touchdowns. Vilma & Co. will not shut down everything, but will make enough stops to win.

Saints 24-20

No worries, Danno...just giving you a hard time. :) You know you're one of my favorite people around here. I love the way you debate without getting personal. Like I said...all in good fun.

We'll win because we're the better team.......and what Danno said.:)

yeah... and he can get burned alll day by TE's like we have seeeeeeeeeen.... apparently sharper dosen't know what he is talkin bout....
