Through the years, this matchup has been the one that makes me the craziest since I live here and deal with it and have since Oiler days. I can't freaking stand it. The Toxins have been VERY quiet the past two weeks. I had to avoid Facebook for two weeks last time we played. I didn't say A WORD till the game was over and then had a bit of fun. But this year.... hardly anything....Also, last time we played in the regular season I watched from UNDER THE COVERS listening to my dad in the other room. I knew we were winning - it was always his most important game. Dad is gone now and I really want a win for him.
Fitzpatrick is not a bad QB. We almost let that Rams QB beat us - I don't even remember his name! Anyway, the Toxins are not the same sorry team they were last season. The coach has done well in changing their culture in the short term at least. They have a few weapons and they will ABSOLUTELY be up for this game. I'm worried about Carter being missing from our D but I'm smiling hoping we can keep up the balance on the O.
I do fear a trap game.... but that could be because someone last night in chat said Cowboys fans had Battered Wife Syndrome. I know I shouldn't make light of that but it's just being scarred so long -- the moment you get high as a kite on a win, you come crashing down with a loss the next week. THE DIFFERENCE this year is the TYPE of win we had. It was a COMPLETE win - I haven't seen our team look like that in YEARS. It was like watching a very beautiful memory. So that gives me confidence.
But I think I'll still be under the covers.
If I go to a bar, you guys will have to gather Bail money..... just sayin'... thanks.
