*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR SOUR GRAPES ***

Yeah!  How about a team that can only score 16 points each game and
still get lucky enough to win?

Whatever those guys are doing (Holding group prayer meetings at halftime,
performing human sacrifices during warm-ups, or sleeping with sheep) seems
to be working.  They managed to get the clock to run out before St. Louis
could move that last yard, and then this week the voodoo curse worked on 
Joe Montana's back.

They shouldn't need any luck for their next three games (although having a
quarterback would be useful).  The three following should be fairly routine
unless the Falcons are for real.  But you can FORGET about week 9. After 
they become lamb chops for the Bears the rest of their schedule will become
considerably difficult, and they should end up at 10 and 6 for the season.

These guys will peeter out during the second half of the season, just like
last year.

Condolences to the L.A. area,

P.S. While we're on the subject of L.A. --- how 'bout them Raiders!
