Deal the Cards

The good news is we have another home game. The bad news? Well, AZ seems to be a huge thorn in our side. They seem to match up well against us, but maybe I’m still in shock from the game … Continue reading

The Madden Curse Strikes Again

Fuck the SI jinx. The madden curse is a real thing. CMC’s calf strain has of course gone from just the preseason to a couple games to achilles tendonitis and an IR stint for 4 more to now possibly longer. … Continue reading

Long Week Loss Week Lost Week

Hate this shit. Wallowing through the week after such a demoralizing loss is a bitch. I really have no idea what is wrong with this team. This far into the Shanahan era and we are stumbling and bumbling through a … Continue reading
