With their schedule this coming season Tomlin will have to do his best Knute Rockne impression to get them over any psychological hump they'll encounter.

Pretty good game last night. Dixon looked pretty good. We just need to step it up when it's really time to play.

Since I haven't watched the game I cannot comment on the rest of the team, but whatever I hear about this Reid guy, is not so good. Not good at all. Every time his name came up, it's not good. I think it's time 4 us 2 cut him.

It was not a pretty good game. There were some bright spots like the play of Ben, Timmons, Dixon and Kemoeatu. Other than that there was some really bad play. Sweed sure didn't look like the highly touted receiver he is. He whiffed and dropped a lot of passes.

The guy was a third round pick in 2006 and has yet to justify his draft status either as a punt/kick returner or as a receiver. This was supposed to be his game to prove that he belongs on the team. He failed to do the one thing that all players say they need and that is the opportunity to prove themselves. The only thing Willie proved was the coaching staff's lack of confidence in him.

Seeing how this thread went I guess it was probably a good thing I had 3 a days this week?
