Week 14 Discussion

[SteveBsFan]

Can't win a game where I'm favored 8)

Congrats Houston. This cost me the game lead I had on Reno and really hurt the Stallions. Way to play spoiler

Haha thanks, i'm finally winning some of the close ones. Too bad I couldn't do that earlier in the season, I would be gunning for a playoff spot

[Cringer]

Glad to see my gameplan against Columbia worked ... don't have time to relish the action on the viewer. Katrina is bearing down on New Orleans and I live on the water right outside New Orleans. I am getting out of Dodge. Will log back in when I can.

Atleast you stayed until after this weeks games.


Best of luck to you. Hopefully if I head that way (one of our main routes) it will be out of the area enough by the time I have to be up there. It should be......

[Matt]

I really can't see this happening. Competition is just too good in this league.
We'll just take it one game at a time 8)

Ha! Your full of shit. You know you have an eye on this. You play Orlando (9th worst rush D, Crespo had over 150 in game 1), Fresno (7th worst rush D), and Lawrence (who Crespo has a 121 yard game against this year).

Plus, Crespo is over 150 in 3 straight games now, and has over 100 in 4 of the last 5. The game he didn't get over 100 he had 96 yards on only 18 carries.

I'm not full of shit. Well no totally
Orlando has much better talent than they've shown. No doubt that they will come to stop Alan. I'm really looking forward to the Fresno game. The Beaver vs. Crespo

[George W Bush]

ooh we won! I turned Hooten into a gunner this week and it worked much better than trying to run the ball down peoples throats like last week. Dakota is now 6-6-1 and only 1/2 game back of Pittsburgh, with Pittsburgh coming to town next week.

[hawkster]

Scared the shit out of Vermont and Virgil Sepulveda. Blew the lead in the end though thanks to a 57 yard TD pass with 16 seconds to go. Go team!

[dberner30]

The shitty play from Wichita continues.....We are now competing for a top 10 draft pick it seems. That sucks.

[Warhammer]

Wow, that whooshing you heard was a can o' whip ass being opened. After close losses the last three weeks, the Grizzlies put together a record setting performance. Team records were set for points in a game, most yards from scrimmage, and fewest rushing yards allowed. Individual team records were set for most key run blocks (Damien), most completions (Hickman), and tied for most passes defensed (Brown). The win puts Hartford back in the race for a wild card spot after WVA lost to Tulsa.

Wow, you have only been over 30 points 3 times now in three seasons. I am a little surprised by that even though I know your offenses history. 1 30 point game a season is what you have. Looks like your offense is done for this year bud.

BUT, we have 3 straight games over 300 yards (which I don't think we have done before). PLUS, we have have 3 straight games with over 200 yards passing, which we have never dreamed of doing before. Much of this is due to some changes I made a few weeks ago with formations and personnel in those formations. I think it has made us a much better team offensively. Our increased 3rd down efficiency in the last three weeks indicate this, fewer yards to go and increased %.

The reason we have lost two of those three, is the changes I made on defense with the return of Martin. We moved Scott outside in an experiment (he actually projects better as an OLB) but have been afraid to pull the trigger in making that move permanent. He has struggle a bit, but in the long run, I think we are better for it. Things finally paid off today, as the defense played well.

If things continue on this course, we are going to be a team no one wants to play, IF we make the playoffs. If we don't make the playoffs and get a good draft pick, imagine what we will do NEXT year!

Front page update completely. Everything. Done.

I need to catch up on PotW awards though, been a few weeks. Doh!

Time to work out though, can't believe it is 13:36 already

[MrBigglesworth]

Something happens with Mann when the game is on the line. He can't make a play to save his life in the first three quarters, then turns into superman. This was his 10th 4Q comeback in 17 wins. As opposed to Irby, who seems like a God any time and has my vote for OROY even with Crespo running everywhere.

We outgained them 492-273 and needed OT to win 20-17. Interception in the end zone on 2nd and goal and two missed FG's. WR Richard finally had a game worth a first round pick, with 5 receptions for 124 yards.

Can I get any worse luck with offensive linemen? Rookie Dronett is out for the year, the second year in a row two starting linemen have made it to IR. His backup is arguably better anyway, so it could be a good thing he got hurt, right? No, no, the FOF Gods would never be so kind. Weil got hurt on the last play of the game. He is just probable though (crosses fingers).

Excellent work with the Crespo pic!

Great work

[JesterBlaze]

379 yards in 3 games and Crespo is over 2000 yards rushing as a rookie. I have to say, I am very much rooting for this to happen right now.

He better get about 385 of those in the next two weeks if the rook wants to hit 2000. :twisted:

[JesterBlaze]

I'm really looking forward to the Fresno game. The Beaver vs. Crespo

Beaver might not be playing in that one after this week.
