60 minutes of a Tony Kornheiser-Brett Favre love fest, can't wait.

I took the day off work, so I'm ready.

That extra day of waiting is rough though. At least it means I can watch Miami take down the Patriots.

Some general keys that aren't redundant (assuming LT is out):

Control Antonio Gates- We have faith now that Revis can contain a team's number one wide receiver, so Chris Chambers should have a cross-through, and Dwight Lowery seems adept enough to cover Vincent Jackson. However, we haven't gone up against any elite or even above-average tight ends dating back to probably Kellen Winslow last year, so it's important to see how we cover Gates with linebackers who primarily are run-stoppers. This will determine whether Darren Sproles is able to eat away yardage simply because of the personnel the Jets will have on the field.

Make the San Diego Cornerbacks prove they can stop you- so far, the Chargers' defensive backs have been bad to downright awful, so I want us to keep attacking them until they remember how talented they are. None of this three straight runs garbage; the Chargers are still adequate in stopping the run, but have shown little in the way of stopping the pass. If Antonio Cromartie looks like he's in mid-season form again, then Schotty can go back to his cookie-cutter running plays.

Don't Miss a Chip Shot- Please. It's really amazing how much the momentum changed in both games when we missed or were unable to kick field goals. This isn't exactly a coachable game-plan, per se, but, for the love of God, don't miss another 30 yarder.

Return the Ball out of the End Zone- Our special teams has really been lousy thus far, and much of it has to do with all the touchbacks opposing kickers have gotten. Line up a little deeper and just return it, even if you only get out to the 15. It's tough on a quarterback to always know he has to drive the ball eighty yards, and there is no momentum gained on a touchback to spark a fire. If Leon at least brings it out of the end zone, Brett Favre will have something to build on, instead of starting from scratch.

That should just about do it, I believe.

And please, don't even bother posting if you're going to say "Protect Brett Favre" or "Stop the Run" unless you're going to offer special insight in to how you plan to do that.

This game is a lot bigger than people think. If we can win this game, I see us going on a bit of a winning streak for the next month or so. Look at it like this. If we can go into SD and manage a win, then we have the Cards, Bengals, Raiders, Chiefs, Bills, and Rams. All of these games are more than winnable. The worst case scenario I see coming out of this stretch of games are 5-1. By this time, Favre will be Brett Favre. Our offense will finally be called to his style of play. The already great looking OL will be set. Our already great looking D will have it's tweaks worked out. Then of course we have the always hard to play Pats, Titans, and Broncos which will be a hard three games. I feel like SF is a definate win but you never know. Buffalo will be hard, any game in Seattle is difficult and then it's the Phins. So let's say we come out of week 10, 7-2, then lose our next 2 of 3, then split the last 4. That would leave us at 10-6 and a good chance at a playoff berth.

What I'm saying is that this game can save us one in the long run from going 9-7 to 10-6. That's a big deal in the AFC standings. We also need to steal one from either NE, Tennesee, and Denver.

Just something I've been thinking. A little homerish and crazy? Maybe. Possible? Sure If our team lives up to expectations.

If you said we could go into our bye 2-2 a week before this season start would you not be happy? So no, we can still lose this game and be fine as long as we beat the Cards in week 4.

As long as we go into our bye at .500 or better we will be fine. Don't forget, we are still gelling, we knew the first 5 or 6 games would be a little shaky. Our first like 5 games after the bye are gimmes.

We can beat bother Denver and Oakland. The Broncos have yet to play a good defensive team. Oakland's passing game isn't that great but they have a great running game, but our run defense also looks great. SF has beaten Detroit and an injury plagued Seattle...not too impressive.
