4th road game in of the season, brutal. Not the way to roll out of the gates. We are not good enough to overcome this kind of schedule yet.

[Guest]

We've managed to fall two games behind early. You hate to use the term "must-win" this early, but this game is danged close to a must-win for us. The good news for us is that it's against a defense that we should be able to move the ball against.

We will do our best to help you out.

My schedule has been brutal up to this point.

[Lintyfresh85]

wow, we suck worse than I thought we did.

[Delandis]

wow, we suck worse than I thought we did.

I feel like Denny Green after that St. Paul game..."they are who we thought they were, and we let 'em off the hook!" Now we have to lick our wounds and hopefully win against Gainsville. But hell, they are 3-1 looking to get an easy win against us.

Riders travel to New Mexico to face Sgt. Tomorrow's Los Alamos team. It's imperative we win this game to keep our head above .500. We picked up a rb off of the waiver wire, RB Horace Perkins formerly of the Phantoms, and in limited action due to rust, he actually carried the ball 11 times for 55 yards while fumbling only once. An improvement over Scovill.

Hopefully the new addition helps clear up the fumbles we're experiencing since Alloy and Banner retired. It's getting to the hair pulling point right now.

So, looking forward to Los Alamos, but not looking past them. Sgt. Tomorrow will have this team ready and will improve this team as time goes on. .

Another week to see my Grizzlies get blown out. Hooray.

[Acid]

Tough game with New Orleans this week.

It'll be interesting to see if my defense can stop their offense, and if my offense can actually be decent.

[kingfc22]

Tough game with New Orleans this week.

Will certainly be a good game, but New Orleans has yet to play anybody early this season so this should be a good test for them.

[Clay]

First ever regular season meeting between Utah and Motor City. They can score a ton, so our D will have a major test. After getting pushed up and down the field by Memphis, we'll need a better performance. Could become a simple game of first team to 40.

Should be a good early season battle of two AC Division Leaders.

Need to avenge that 14-13 playoff loss last season.
