    After so many months without real football, my wishlist for today's game is pretty simple:

    No injuries.
    and a W!

    If I could add anymore:
    First play: One early shot with a deep route to DHB (to keep their S back).
    No bubble screens (applies to all game long, no exceptions)
    D Williams having success early (opening the play action)
    Eli, Coates and James making the most out of their opportunities
    AB cooling down, not falling into JN's strategy
    Our Dline and LBs getting some sacks
    Wouldn't mind if some of those came from our DBs blitzing (Is Blitzburgh making its way back?)
    A couple of ints, one (or two!) by our new DBs (Davis / Burns / Gilbert)
    In a perfect world, everyone stays healthy and we make no mental errors too! (penalties, bad playcalling)

    What's on yours?
    Enjoy the game!

    No shots down field to DHB or Coates or anyone else on 1st downs followed up by a running play that goes no where putting the team in 3rd and long situations.

    Establish chemistry between JJ and Ben.

    Secondary no looking into the backfield and guessing. Know your role, play your role and be a hero on you own time.

    Front seven collapse the pocket, unleash hell, destroy but wrap your man up and drive him to the ground.

    Remember the Superbowl was never won in week one on one play. It's a journey that starts with one step.

    1- WR corps stepping up to support AB and Ben.

    2- O-Line getting a good push and protecting Ben (and if they do well, DW will take care of himself)

    3- 4 or 5 sacks and consistent QB pressure for our D

    4- FORCE a couple turnovers

    5- No soft, pattycake, passive, "allow the catch" nonsense on 3rd and long. And get off the damned field!

    6- No injuries.

    7- A win. But if I even get 3 of the 6 I ask for, that'll happen anyway.

    edited to add: you can pretty much copy and paste this for every game. ;)
