Notre Dame football

These are tough times for the Irish but need I say not uncharted waters. In listening to Coach Kelly's post interview conference after the Michigan game it's clear he get's it. He's been doing this like 25 years. The kids need to buy into what's going on and when that happens they'll start winning again. Everything is relevant until this happens. For me it's gotta come back to the Discipline factor. You get off to a good start and build a lead and momentum but it's what happens once the controversy starts. Opposing teams are going to make changes as there suppose to and how you react to that will determine if your successful not in your game plan. Let's see 9 Turnovers in 2 games you clearly should've won. Not only are these mental mistakes but there confidence killers. Those start to play on your teams psyche after awhile. The main players are making plays but that doesn't include the defense. Bob Diaco Defensive Coordinator after having this unit hitting on all cylinders has got to be pulling his hair out. The schedule doesn't get any easier as they play Michigan St next. For a team that was tabbed to make a BCS bowl game throw that thought out the window. Gathering there sanity back and some composure is of utmost importance. I can assure you this problem will get turned around but how long will it take is the question. 

The NFL season is FINALLY here!!

Wow can you believe the NFL season is finally here? I'm excited as we now have Direct TV and I've got multiple fantasy football leagues so the timing couldn't be better. Most of you know my wife and I are HUGE Cowboys fans and the idea of being able to watch every 1 of there games is enticing. Let's hope they do well. But tonight's much anticipated game between the Saints and Super Bowl champs of Green Bay kick off yet another season. I think Green Bay has a very good chance of repeating again this year provide they can stay healthy. Remember they had 19 players injured and yet they outlasted the rest of the field to claim the Lombardi Trophy. As for other teams I look for the Jets to be somewhat better,and my surprise team this year is Detroit with all those weapons they have. Matthew Stafford stays healthy the skies the limit for this team. There defense has been upgraded and with Megatron your always in the game with him catching passes. Consistency will be there biggest test as this is not a team used to winning. As for the black and blue division there in I feel they'll replace the Bears. Jay Cutler is to inconsistent and they have no passing game and the defense is getting older. And with the new kick off rule that hinders just what Devin Hester can do and he's not a normal receiver as he hasn't adjusted to that role yet. Minnesota now has Donovan McNabb which if nothing else is a quick fix until they can get a full time QB in there. Adrian Peterson still provides them with an above average run game but little else. The defense is decent but that alone won't win them but maybe 6 games @ best. This team will finish last in that division and not make the playoffs. Hard to believe last time they made the playoffs Brett Favre was there QB. Scary ha? Enjoy week 1 everyone. Will have my reactions and comments after this week.
