The game for week 3 v Colts is in.

Danny Slavin's Colts are 2-0 and look very strong indeed, this will be a difficult game for the new-look Steelers.

Have strengthened the defence with another coaching action this week and am hoping that some changes in the offence will also help to cause the Colts some problems.

In reality, I don't think anyone is expecting a Steelers victory, but I am strangely optimistic going into the game!

I hope that at the very least I put in a good performance.

This game will no doubt give me some indication of how the rest of the season may pan out.....will be endeavouring to beat the Turnover newsletter prediction of a 5-11 season!!

good luck MTP, hope all those discussions we had pay dividends.

The Jets gameplan is in.  This week we are up against Martyn's Browns who look unbeatable on paper. I have tweaked a few things but will struggle against his awesome O and D lines.

Maybe Norman is right and the honeymoon is over. At least I have some inkling of why there was a honeymoon. I don't know if I can get back on track this season though and may need another offseason to right the ship.

Al, thanks for the best wishes.  I am focusing more on defence with this team than I have with my Cardinal franchises,trying to optimise the "star" players and be prepared for a lot of pass happy opponents. Unfortunately I am 24 LP's short of doing what I need to! (no doubt a few losses will ease the problem...).

On offence, I am using (for the first time!) different reactions to those that I normally use, so it will be interesting to see how this affects the performance.

Tom, good luck v Browns.  Hopefully you will help my cause and win!  You can have a second honeymoon you know!

Browns gameplan is in - playing to my teams offensive squad strengths, which I think (if my scouting is correct) tie in with the Jets defensive weaknesses, but we'll see! Never confident when playing Tom, never confident in AR, and never confident when going with this sort of GP in AR, no matter what my squad looks like!

If I win this I may start feeling confident about my season tho, if I lose I reckon same old same old for me in AR yet again...
