I’ve got the family decked in gear and we’ll have friends over soon at which point the suds will flow.

Sure, I realize it is a huge gamble and that many of the picks will be busts.  The guessing and the hoping is a lot of the fun! More than anything, Draft Day reminds me that it wont be long before the games start again!  After an 11-5 regular season, I am hopeful that we do a couple of things:

  1.  Back to back winning seasons – yep, I’ll take 9-7.
  2. We make it to the playoffs
  3. We win a playoff game for the fans, the team, and for Tony Gonzalez
  4. We play like a team and there are no individuals that try to make themselves bigger than the team

Those four things are on my wish list. Of course, more is better in this situation but I’ll be content with 4.

As far as today goes, we need three things – defensive linemen (Ziggy), offensive tackle (right side), and a new CB or two.  Here is my message to Thomas Dmitroff:
