Because most people expect a repeat of last week's bludgeoning, they will play way over their heads this week.  

Yanno and I hate to think like that but not just because of last week but the entire season that some of us have been saying.....I am a Birds fan and always will be but....

Honestly? I dont know what to expect today....

They are done if they lose today. People will say any given Sunday and believe until the end but a loss today says an epic amount about who they are.

If they can't get up for this game the coaching just isn't good enough.Talent gaps happen but good coaches overcome and scheme. They are the biggest issue I have with the team right now because the ones here last year got more out of them.

It will also tell us age has caught up with the DL. They aren't getting pressure and age may be the biggest factor. 

We will see but tonight will tell us all we need to know about who they are.

I don't have much of a reputation to wager, but such as it is, I will wager it that Dak produces a classic choke job. He's a fine QB, but in the big games, he can't cut it. No nerves, other than the fact I have to get up early, about 5.30am, ro watch the game before work. Even worse is trying to sleep until then because I know the game is on

I totally agree with this....its the exact same thing I have thought all frickin season...I can't believe I would rather have Shane back....I actually thought he was pretty horrible....
