It's about as close to a playoff atmosphere as it gets in September. The media, of course, is playing that for all it's worth for ratings and all, but the truth is, the loser has a bit of a hole to climb out of re: the division title.
I wouldn't say I'm nervous because it's at home, but yeah, this is a biggie.
It's September with a feeling like January. I don't remember wanting to beat a team this early in the season as bad as I want to beat the nine terds. Don't get me wrong I want to beat every team we play, but it does have that January feel about it. It's a great way to set the tone in the NFC West. I know it's just 1 of the 16 in the regular season, but this is a game that can start the beginning of them chasing us not us trying to catch up to them.
