[War Damn Six]

It's here, for all it's still worth.

Someone still had faith in us.

So you’re saying there’s a chance!

We shall fight them on the seas and oceans...in the air, on the beaches and landing grounds; we shall fight them in the hills and streets, the hood and suburbs, at Taco Bell and Walmart, Home Depot and Buffalo Wild Wings and we shall never surrender... navah, nevah, vevah.

[GH2001]

 The AP....lulz.

[bgreene]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the top 25 shouldn't even come out until at least a month into the season.

Yeah, but you haven't said it in a long time, so it doesn't count.  Welcome.  Post often.  Submit your dog to Jumbo.

Hard agree.  There's too much rigidity to those (generally unfounded) rankings.

You're not the boss of me!!

[jmar]

Yeah me too.
Looking forward to seeing all of this talent and depth we've been hearing about on full display.
Want to see a full compliment of well conceived play calls and an offense that finishes drives in the redzone.
On defense I want to see a smarter, veteran unit that is stingy against the run with relentless pressure on passing downs that yields multiple turnovers.

I know it's a stretch but I think we can win in 2024, and win bigly!

jmar knows what’s up. I’m just ready for our boys to be feared again. Respected week in/week out.

I really think we have the makings for a great year. I love the defensive backfield, all ballers.
We have very good depth up front and a slew of pass rushers just biting at the bit to wreak havoc.

We have a very solid o-line and three backs that can keep the chains moving, provide pass pro and catch the ball in open field.

And we have numerous options on special teams due to the increased talent level that will really shine on Saturdays.

We're gonna be pretty good.

[The Six]

I'll have what she's having.
