The team walked through every practice leading up to that game because Gruden wanted them to recover. You can't properly prepare for a team with walk-throughs.
I'm not saying we're a good team, because we're not. But are we so bad that even if we're reasonably healthy and have a full week to prepare we'll lose by 30-plus to the Giants? No.
I really hate the fact that we play the Seahawks on Monday night. Playing them competitively could really help our morale, but knowing us, we're more likely to get blown out. I don't see why the f*ck the NFL is making a 3-13 team play the defending champs on Monday Night Football. Makes no f*cking sense to me.
