Great Game Keith.....

I will take a loss to you by 3 with a backup QB and all. I could not stop Tart but kept him out of the zone.

Thanks Keith...

we have come out of the gate hitting on all cylinders. I was was planning on starting latham at qb to start the year but he got nicked up in preseason. So Loving got the starting nod is playing great.

Deason is proving he needs a few more carries and will cut into jackson playing time who is playing very average.

Our defense is playing very well and is the suprise of this team so far. However any injuries could really hurt as this is not a deep unit.

[Coder]

I guess we can all quit ranking Vermont as the top team from now on keke?

[roadrash]

Sweet, I can put my underoos back on.

Hell of a game RoadRash, friggin eerie how similar the statlines came out, it was almost a carbon copy, possesion for possesion game. When we kicked that FG with almost 2 minutes left I was scared as hell you would put together a final drive. Real good game.

Damn it, three games in a row. . I seem to be a 2 minute offense away from beating you.

This is gonna suck. . but hey! Lokk at Beamers ypc. . .

Finally, we find a way to win one. Out of all the teams I've ever be GM of, this one just constantly keeps me guessing. Just when I think things can't get any worse, they pull of a huge win like this. I did tweak the gameplan a lot from what I've been doing. Colella can't be depended on to win games. So I tweaked it more for Connell and for Colella to not make the mistakes to cost us the game. Big win! Hopefully this will get us heading in the right direction.

So you enjoy 5.0 ypc for Beamer w/ an 0-3 record more then you enjoyed his 3.2 ypc and division championship?

Haha, I was just thinking I was a bit dissapointed in my passing game......right up untill I had to look again at my win/loss record. I will take an average offense and the wins anyday.

[JesterBlaze]

I almost gameplanned a victory away as my quick jump to an 18 point lead caused me to start going way too run heavy early in the 2nd quarter. Phantoms hold on for the victory though and a share of the NFC East lead!

I felt bad for morellomre. This game wouldn't be fun to watch rooting for Lansing as there were a lot of heart-breaking plays early on.

[Argot]

Ouch: 2-1 barely beating the Cows, but losing Rocco for 5 weeks pretty much ends our season. And with him being in his 13th season, it may be time to get someone else under center.

[sovstar]

DAMN! So close to being 3-0... That said, good game Jeff, I was scared of the deep game, and you ate me alive on the short stuff.

Aye. I about died after Beaver fumbled and the first play was a TD (to be called back soon thereafter).

Both defenses played pretty well. I would've liked to have been a little more aggressive on the run defense, but I'm fine with intercepting Hickman 3 times.

You really loaded up on the run and it was pretty effective for the most part. I think the difference was probably the field position I was blessed with in the 2nd half.

When you win. . you look for improvments. . when you lose. . you have to look on the bright side. . .

What are my chances at coming back from an 0-3 start? Possible. . and I won't give up, but something ain't quite right this year. . . I am hoping that the difference is the few starters I am missing, and that they will be back in time for a late season run. . .

Bye week, then two more road games starting at Fresno. . . This could be a long first half of the season. ..

But once again, I have always been afraid to start injured players who are probable because of the long term reinjury issues. . .

What was impressive was that both defenses played very well against what each of us concentrated on. Then, they turned around and got the TOs that led to scores. What would have been interesting is what would have happened had we not missed that FG. It would have made the plays after that fumble much more interesting. That said, it would have been more interesting had that bogus call not been made!
