On one thread, I see talk of how we went very vanilla on both sides of the ball against Jacksonville... then on another thread I see "Play Mallett..." But Denver will not have played by the time we're playing, so we can't know that we don't have a shot at a bye yet, even if Houston wins. So you've got to win to carve one more game off the odds.
That said, I think we'll see just enough to win (against a reasonably talented "b-level" team). I think we'll see vanilla but with plenty of horses in reserve if things slip. Nobody's looking to get to #2 on the all-time offense list, unless the Fins just fold up tents. The goal is to win the game. It's possible we'll bury them quick, but it won't be because we're looking for a record or a statement.
The optimal outcome would be to win with a reasonable margin without showing a lot of additional cards. You know... "Just win baby," as the late Al Davis would say (Our old West Coast personnel guy.)
Now watch 'em hang 62 on Miami...
