I believe this is the first Marquee Matchup in my run with the Toads.

[ukpatfan]

Game of the Week....Wichita?
Are we in a parallel universe or something?

Portland are one of the best GM'd teams out there and we will need a huge slice of luck if we are to come away with the win.
I just hope we don't embarrass ourselves on the telly.

Hey you are 3-0 and favored by 1. Go get 'em!!

[SteveBsFan]

Second divisional game, and first against the Mules this season. I can't say I'm not scared shitless, but I am confident we have a chance. I'm going to be studying film all night and force them to throw to Mario Manahan all day. That should secure a victory. Oh wait.

This isn't a 'must win' game, but it's probably as 'must win' as you can get this early in the season.

Good luck!

Phantoms are having an identity crisis so now is a good time for your team to catch us.

[SteveBsFan]

Interesting early game matchup between us:

Murf on offense vs Hou Defense

#1 scoring offense vs #3 scoring defense
#8 total offense vs #8 total defense
#17 passing offense vs #18 passing defense
#1 rushing offense vs #2 rushing defense

Hou on offense vs Murf defense

#1 total offense vs #1 total defense
#2 pass offense vs #1 passing defense


It's going to be a wild game.

No easy games when playing Houston... always tough this one will be no different..

[tarcone]

I think we get spanked this weekend. Our team is playing a little inconsistent. Sanford is off to his worst start in memory.

Cook laid an egg week 1. We've been all around solid the last 2 weeks. I doubt we win but this will be a great barometer. Haven't allowed a 100 QBR or a 100 yd rusher/receiver yet. I we do that against your guys I'm feeling good win or lose.

[Mike17]

Marco Strobel is on a career-high pass rushing pace... Bazooka Barlow better be on his toes this week.

I remember that no one wanted to offer me higher than a 5th rounder for him.

Damn league...

[BuddaKINGII]

I hope to make the fire-birds my bitch this week-end....Hahahaha
