So if you had to make a W-L estimate based on this analytical method after this preseason game, what would be your guess?

This team can't afford to lose most likely their best cornerback. I was most pleased to see the 3 rookies (Walker, Muma and Fortner) get significant playing time. I'd expect each of them to keep improving as they adjust to the speed of the NFL game. Walker will need to learn pass rushing moves, but once he does the sky is the limit for him. In the meantime, he'll be an asset in run defense. Without Lawrence, Kirk or Etienne playing, there's no way to yet evaluate the offense. I look forward to seeing all 3 in the next game.

Results of the game notwithstanding for obvious reasons, I hope your trip went/is going well.

Thanks. The HOF is really a great place to visit. One could spend an entire day looking at all the exhibits and film footage. They also have two short-length theatre presentations: one is moderated by Joe Namath (with modern technology it looks like you could literally touch him from your seat) and the other is about the Super Bowl. All football fans should visit at least once in their lifetime. We also attended the Rock and Roll HOF in Cleveland which is equally impressive. Looking forward to the induction ceremony tomorrow.
