I salute you my friend.
Going to road games when we win is awesome! Not so much when we don't
though... :)
I've only been to a couple of road games and luckily they were wins so
I can't speak on the losing side. However, I've been to a few home
playoff games that we lost and that is the worst!
Drive Safely and G_d's speed.
When I lived in Nebraska (after the Stapes folded :) ), I used to
travel to Big Red road games and I could tell you driving this time of
year in that neck o' the woods can really be dangerous.
They got destroyed! Worse even live. The Bronco fans saw me with my
Giants Jersey on the bus on the way to the game and they were afraid
the Broncs were going to get their butts beat. LOL!
Oh well, was a fun trip anyway. Great seats.
Why can't or won't Eli throw down the middle of the field? Isn't that
how we used to win games? Always near the sideline.
What an embarrasing performance.
Was a piece of cake. 11 hour ride from Livingston, MT to Casper, WY
then to Denver. Weather was fantastic. 60s during the first two days
and in the 40s Thanksgiving night at the game but no wind. Am so
jealous. We had our usual 50 MPH winds here while we were in Denver.
We brought everthing we owned just in case!

That's what I've been griping about. Sure, there are times when you
want the sideline, but when you are getting blitzed, which has been a
lot lately, that's the worst place the try to throw. There are vacated
zones in the middle where the blitzers came from, and that's what you
want to attack. Plus the defensive backs who stayed in coverage now
only have to watch the sideline, much easier than following receivers
who may cut inside. Additionally, the receivers seem to go too deep
down the sidelines. When the QB is pressured, you don't have time for
that. It's a recipe for turnovers. Hit something short over the middle
and let them try to tackle you while they're shorthanded.
Anyhow, glad you had a nice trip.

Thanks. I didn't think I was imagining things. It was very easy to
see this from our seats (3rd level, near end zone but off at an angle.
better than directly behind the end zone as far as I am concerned.).

Thanks!
