If we get out of this game without any major injuries, we're golden. _________________

Well, someone has to play on Monday night. We're just used to always playing on Thursdays or Fridays in the preseason, so it's just a few days longer in between.
And on the flip side of waiting long, we do play CLE 4 days after this game. _________________

Hopefully Vick shows up and the D looks good against an elite QB. _________________

Typically, that amount of playing time for the starters is reserved for the 3rd preseason game, but Reid said today that his starters will actually play less in that game then will against the Pats. |
| Quote: | | Monday night should be the closest thing to a dress rehearsal we'll get this preseason and our best shot to evaluate the team before it all goes live in week 1. |

| They're doing this because they play Cleveland week 1. Don't want to give them anything but Vanilla. |

That does have something to do with the starters playing the most minutes of any preseason game, but also having only 3 days of rest in between games has a lot to do with it too. Even if we weren't playing the Browns in preseason week 3, we still would have used the starters more in preseason week 2 IMO. _________________

Most likely yes. Nabbs, Phire and myself can hopefully organize it better and at an earlier date as to get more participation. _________________
