[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 168497, member: 288"] This will be a determined team comming in here.. if we go 3-0, there can't be a single "Ya-but" as Warhawk says left around. We will have earned the 3-0 or even 2-1 record if we play with this team next week. Any given Sunday... it is a truth. See Brownies vs Bengals..
