This must be the death nell for all of us "stretching the field" theorists...
I'll try to make this clear -- BARRING INJURIES, Maroney is gearing up for 1600 yards, we'll outscore our opponents (yes, I realize it may be the toughest schedule in football) by well over 200 points (+177 in 2004), before a leisurely postseason trot around the bases...the word "annihilate" won't even apply, it will simply look way too easy.
Now, INJURIES always play a MAJOR role for every team.
Let me repeat........INJURIES ALWAYS PLAY A MAJOR ROLE.
Nothing is ever a lock, but paper lions have never been so fierce....if you can't admit that we're poised to dominate in a way that only one or two teams in history ever have, then you're just trying too hard to be a contrarian.
