I'm with on this. Even though I am hoping for a fast start, tomorrow's game has me thinking trap game. And that has me nervous.

PK I to am nervous, actually I'm very nervous about tomorrows game. Why ?
Simply because the preseason has been anything but reassuring. And why would it be ?
We had our "starting" DLine get run over by the opposition, the last time I saw Schaub he was limping off of the field, Slaton looked fat and slow,
2 of our defensive starters haven't taken a snap all year and one of those guys never took a snap in an NFL game, and we are missing 2 starters from the Dbackfield.So yea I'm anxious.
And how could the season opener possibly be a "trap game".

Yes tomorrow has a lot of uncertainties.

How will DRob play?
Will Shaub show signs of injury?
What does Cushing look like in a real game?
Will Barwin play as good as he did in the preseason?
Will Slaton return to form?
Is CBrown a true compliment back?
Will TJones run all over us?

So many questions. I can't wait til tomorrow. My dad is a 49ers fan and for some strange reason he believes they will have a better record than us. WOW

[BigBull]

My heart is telling 13-3, but my head is telling me 10-6.
So I'll go with 11-5.

Why a trap game? Is it because we are playing Ryan's 3-4 D? Seems Kubiak gets confused by this defense.

It is now going into the 4th quarter of the Jets game at home, and we are blowing it bigtime 0 to 17. I am revising my bet to 8-8, and if Kubes doesn't wake up we will be lucky to go 6-10!!!

I'm not jumping overboard yet, but if they get worked next week in Tennessee and Kubiak "loses" the team at some later point, they could slide to 6-10. I'm still trying to maintain hope. The thing that concerns me is a lack of adjustment from Kubiak. Is the time of the smaller lineman zone blocking scheme over? This team is just not tough enough.

Jenkins made our interior linemen look like highschool kids. At some point, you gotta get bigger and tougher. These little quick linemen were chosen because they could get to the point of attack faster. However, as I replayed the game on DVR, not only was Jenkins overpowering them, he was getting off the line faster as well. And to make matters worse he always chose the correct gap to exploit (good coaching).

For the record: Myers was beaten like nail all day long. He should never hold his head up again until he puts somebody on their ass. Even if its a Defensive back. He has to get his marbles back.

I had them going 9-7 before they lost to the Jets. I am sticking to 9-7. Instead of having them lose against the Patriots Im changing it to a win. The Patriots will likely clinch a bye and home field advantage by then and give their starters limited play time.
