Our short week to prepare just got a day shorter because the Saints are headed to chicago today instead of tomorrow to avoid hurricane Karen. That, and players fretting about their homes and families definitely spells disaster. I wish they'd just let us forfeit this one and not get anyone hurt.

Do what!?!!??!? Forfeit?

Wow

These guys get to spend a lot more times with their families than a normal working man. They will be just fine and they can afford to bring their familes up for the game if they like. I am good with going early and think it will help them relax and prepare if there is an "upset" ggame I don't think this one is it.

... but we had a short week to begin with. We played until almost midnight Monday and probably did nothing other than rest and recover Tuesday. We might have gotten a little work in on Wednesday, but probably very little yesterday and none today. Compare that to chicago who played near home Sunday, got to watch us play Monday night and has been preparing ever since. I can't help but worry about all that.

I think you need a Xanax, Doc.

That storm isn't going to do crap. Sean and the team will be ready. We're going to have to cover Marshall and slow down Forte as much as possible. Let Bennett try and beat us.

I think Thomas and Robinson will have a lot of touches and we will still throw, but not as much. I also think we will see more of Humber in this one.

But to use the same logic, I believe Drew has never lost to Chicago in the month of October...

I think what this game is going to come down to is Jay Cutler. Will it be the brilliant Jay Cutler who can do nothing wrong? Or will it be the clueless, error-prone Cutler we saw against the Lions.

I'm betting on the clueless Cutler.

I think you're right but it doesn't stop me from worrying about it. Just losing power over the weekend can cost a lot of $$ because of spoiled food and so forth. I'm also starting to see a few gas lines out there with everyone topping off their tanks and getting gas for generators, just in case.

Sometimes less is more.

Just go out and have fun playing football. What else can they do?
