Hopefully this is the game that Matty breaks that elusive 300 yards passing,  and the Bombers put a very very serious scare into the rider blowhards. 

I'd like to see that but considering the weather, it's gonna come down to the run game and the trenches....... Luckily, we've got the upper hand in that department.

Blustery weather dictates that this game will be fought in the trenches. Our O line is better than Riders but Mason and Thigpen need to be contained. Special teams and kick returns could be big. It's going to come down to fewest turnovers.

I agree with the weather conditions I believe it will be won or lost in the trenches. I think our OL is better then the riders however their DL is better than ours - so I see this as a wash. It will be whoever makes the fewest mistakes that will come out on top and in cases like this I have some trepidation around MN. He tends to panic too easily.

I see this game as a battle between two good teams that have gelled and are playing some good ball. It's going to be a battle of wills and who cracks first. Here's hoping MOS's faith in his offensive, defensive, and special teams coordinators is well placed. If the coaches and players are all on the same page, and at this point in the season they have to be, then we can win this. We don't need anything spectacular, like last game. All we need is for everyone to be responsible, play within themselves and for each other, and to play as a team in all three phases of the game. Go Blue!
