The defense will keep it interesting, but the Cowboys will pull away by the 3rd Qtr.

I agree, especially with #1. I got razzed in another thread for calling out Randle El and co. Other than Moss, they are a joke. Randle El produces, but not on the level that was/is expected of him when we acquired him. With him and Patten the passing game was supposed to be opened up more for Moss under Gibbs. Thrash was a threat during his first stint with us under Norv, but not so now. Too many guys dinged up. To be honest I am expecting another Steelers game tonight.

Excuse me for "razzing" you some more, but what exactly was the expectation of ARE when he was first brought here? Because looking at his career numbers in Pittsburgh, and comparing them to what he's done here, he's clearly been playing at a higher level the last 2 years.

What are your expectations of a #2 WR numbers wise?

Can you point out some other #2 WRs in this league to see where ARE stacks up?
