[Matt]

didn't realize that the game between LRK and NWK would be worth watching outside ouir respective markets.

but it is!!!!

we really need our defense to turn the corner and start to play well. it's frustrating to see what they've done this year after what they accomplished last yr.

[tarcone]

Sanford is playing at the level of his 3rd year. Need some consistency.

Could be under 500 for the 1st time in who knows how long.

[DDT]

Good week to turn the corner. Our defense is improved due to the addition of a great CB but our best defender Robbins is unavailable this week. I'll go with the vanilla offense again and hope to get some lucky dice rolls.

[ukpatfan]

Wichita host the Matadors as we try to equal our best ever start (5 -0 in 2004).

LA's defense has stiffened considerably (hmmm, can't think of any other way to phrase that!) and Mallard/Bazooka gives them options.

Expecting a tough game but looking forward to it immensly.

No pressure Dakota, but a win against VAN this week would be reaaaaaaaaaally nice

[Mike17]

It's about time I had an easy game

yep, it's the Viagra we're using in the training room. Looking forward to another good game...would be nice to knock someone from the unbeatens...

[SteveBsFan]

Favored by 12.5.. I smell a loss

[Chris Rex]

Fucker!

[Chris Rex]

Sometimes I honestly crack myself up...

Grrr. The pressure is on VAN. Hopefully this will be our last game with Rex Richard starting at QB, and we can come out of this 3-2 instead of 2-3.

[Matt]

likely a slight delay this am.

i'm going out for breakfast with the fam. will be back and games should be done by 11:30am

[Matt]
