I think a well thought out and thorough pregame is critical. How many times have you had something pop up that you didn't think to cover? You'll always remember to cover it now.
Who's where on what, at what point does the BJ gives up the goal line and moves to the end line, passes in to the deep corners of the end zone - who has what etc etc etc...
If you just went throught the motions in the pregame rather than getting your head screwed on right, it'll cost you eventually.
You're right, JMN, you do get to know most guys' tendencies after a while, who the stronger and weaker guys are, and nothing beats doing a big game with a great crew.
