If this is how you beat them, I have full confidence in Sanchez to look these guys off onto the sideline and hit the open receiver. Should be a big day for Mark. Their pass rush is ranked at the bottom of the league as well. I know there is a discussion thread, but that's dead so I made this.
My confidence in out team's ability to score tonight is pretty high. What I am hoping to see is a solid defensive performance....like 14 points tops, and no receiver or TE over 50 yards.
I have minimal concerns about our offense against their defense. However, I do think their passing game could potentially pose a problem for our defense if (big if) Palmer plays a solid game, particularly Shipley and Gresham. We've had problems with the underneath routes, and these guys have been playing well. Not to mention everyone is picking us to win in a blowout. I hate that. The only thing I'm confident in is that this won't be a low-scoring game.
I'll wait & see...that's been said about the last 3 opponents, 2-OT & 1 last second win later...I'm still waiting
