The Offseason, Thank God, is Over

PrintSo. Sunday. 1 p.m. Eastern.
Forecast is for gray skies. Overcast. Chance of showers.
September. New England. Land of bed & breakfasts gearing up for fall foliage season.
Watching leaves. Change color. Fall.
Y'know. Paul Daugherty's kind of place.
Plenty of raking action.
Especially if you're Bob Kraft. Tom Brady? Well, maybe we can squeeze out a few bucks. Randy Moss? Not so much. And Logan Mankins? We don't need no stinkin' o-line anyhow, right? And even the Pats' own site is down on the defense.
Wasn't it the Mike Browns and not the Krafts who were supposed to be taking a victory lap in the uncapped year?
Anyhow.
It's almost that time. Cleats have been sharpened. Sunday, pads will be lashed onto hulking shoulders. Colors donned. Helmets raised. Chinstraps tightened. The season beckons. And we will march on a road of bones.
Who Freakin' Dey!

Who Freakin' Dey, INDEED, my BeerRun!
Who.
Freakin’.
DEY!!!
Tops will be popped off of “lovely beverages,” salsa jars and ‘rita salt (hey, I’ve been to see Buffett in Cincy…I know what goes on around there!).
(Who’s got the call on CBS? [checks the506…] Ah…Nantz and Simms. Hence…) TV volumes will be turned down and radio volumes turned up. Firefox sessions aimed straight for the Open Thread.
And prayers said for The Fifty Three, Marvin, Zim…and yes, even Brat. :-)
I fully expect a win. Honestly if the Bengals lose it’s a bad sign for the rest of the season. The Bengals are the better team. I cannot wait to see Carson move the offense down the field with ease and I cannot wait to see the defense stop Brady in his tracks.
And for that matter, I can’t wait to see tOSU shut down Miami.
We all said the same thing last year
after they lost to Denver. Even if they lose, they can make up ground. It’s never shameful to lose at Foxboro.

Found this quote on the Patriots site:
I don’t think it’s likely that the Patriots can find guys off the scrap heap that will make a discernible difference on defense.
New England, meet Mike Zimmer.
