I hope this is the game of the week.

I hope this is the game of the week.

 

I think it should be.  Also think it s/h/b Saturday night - having 3 Texas teams in 2 games regionalized didn't make much sense.  However there were no weather issues at least.

Back to StL and DC -  its likely a must win for DC coming off a tough game in Birm.  Expect a good game

I'm here at Audi and ready to contribute to the legendary snake

Couldn't, DCU played Seattle.

However I'd much rather this been on FOX, but as I said earlier, probably some NFL-style jockeying for who gets what. FOX gets the champs opener, as well as the United Bowl (both preview and proper) in exchange for ESPN/ABC getting both DC/STL. Of course the other trade-off is MICH/MEM will be brutal (another pitiful crowd, Etling vs. Williams, another write off a la last week only this time on the net side).

Defenders exposing the same RT they exposed last year against St. Louis.

I might have been off about when exactly JT and his receivers are going to get in sync (to put it mildly)

[laxtreme56]

The Defenders are playing like they never left the locker room. Completely uninspired play 

[MGB01]

JT has the dreaded "as many INTs as completions" going.

An iffy roughing gives them their first FD

Becht must regret going for it on 4th down. I mean, late in the half, protect a hard-earned lead going into the locker room.
