-81- McMichael
Active Roster
And here's why...
First, Chambers will walk onto the field to a standing ovation and get cheered wildly after every pass on his way to catching for over 100 yards in this game. Believe it!
Lucas will throw for around 250 yards (about 75 of them going to McMichael) and for 2 TD's (might run for another, too).
Ricky will get almost 30 carries and run for about a buck-fifty. Look for him to catch his share, too.
And... most of all... our #$&*%@% kick-ass defense is going to BRUTALIZE "Bleedso" and the Bills. INT's, sack, hurries, knock-downs, forced fumbles... you name it.
See, so far, it's been a nice honeymoon for Bledsoe. But, now, he gets to be reacquainted (sp?) with what things were like when he was still slinging it for NE.
As for Henry... he is a pretender. His "career" game last week was against Houston... and they (Houston) weren't prepared for him to run, i.e. they sold out to stop the passing game. We, on the other hand, have a STRONG and balanced defense that will contain (if not shut down) the running game and then hurry Bledsoe into mistakes. The key will be forcing lots of third and long situations and then going after him.
Look for Bates to throw everything, including the kitchen sink, at the Bills... especially from the front seven. What we saw in Denver... the blitzing... yeah, baby! That worked! And we WILL see more of it.
Again, as for Chambers and Lucas... and Ricky, and McMichael, and Ward and McKnight and OG, and Edwards and Konrad. And a really pissed of offensive line that wants to prove itself after an "off" game.
Come on people!!! CHAMPIONS win games like the one coming up... with a backup QB... and a list of injured players.
And they win them BIG TIME!
These guys are playing with the heart and soul of CHAMPIONS. That's how I see them. I hope it's how you see them. And I hope that they see themselves that way, too.
GO 'FINs!!!
