Week 8, Discuss.

I am Tulsa's Bitch...

I can not seem to win against them. Great game Tulsa.

That was the ugliest 13 point win I've ever witnessed. You seemed to have some really good gameplans though, P. Luxx, so keep your head up. The VAN loss might not have even been the worse part as 2005 1st round pick Alfred Dunlap needs to go under the knife.

[SteveBsFan]

Wow, what a sloppy game by us. 13 penalties, allowing more than 50% completions on 3rd down while only completing 3/13, but then again most of my 3rd downs were 3rd and extremely long due to the penalties.

Yet again my defense allows the opponent to march down the field at will, but I did play against one of the best teams in the league in their stadium, so I didn't expect much better outcome. Just venting, what a lousy way to head into the bye week.

Good game, Albuquerque, you really dominated on all sides, except special teams (one fumble, although not lost, and one PR for TD), but since your offense dominated, you really didn't see that all too much.

[sovstar]

Uh.. Irby with 506 yards passing against Orlando.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

[Suicane]

I lost my backup QB for 4 weeks. This has been the most horrid season ever. Good game spunky, i set my gameplan to shut down your recievers but i blitzed too much and got my ass handed to me.

[VitoStallion]

Best O-line is now on IR. I knew I'd take some lumps but I didn't think we'd be this bad!!!

:loser:

Yeah, seeing all those penalties blew me away. False Start after holding after False Start. I guess my fans were pretty excited, both of them. I came in with the expectation of making Sanders beat me and he couldn't. Timmerman is a beast though, keep riding that horse to the playoffs. You slowed down my running game pretty well, but the passing game clicked when it needed to.

Iowa City, Norfolk, lose a game or something dammit

Yes, indeed. Probably my fault, too. A least a little.

Beaton, my starting MLB has been out and I wanted to had some muscle in the middle because of your tough center and guards, so I experimented with playing him at MLB.

Oops.

I benched Colella. Healthy scratch. His 51.0 QB rating is unacceptable. I was more confident in Donaldson managing the game and relying on Connell than asking any more of Colella right now. The 22 points is our second highest game total of the year.

I'm not worried about the team or bummed out too much. I'm working on getting my young linemen some experience and rebuilding. It'll happen. We'd be a lot better off by now if not for our quarterback's completely abysmal season.

Onward and upward!

[Argot]

Bogus...

our offense controlled the game...

but, Hooten threw in INT from Lansing's 4 yard line.

And Nelson throws two bombs with less than two minutes left on the clock to the 2 yard line.

Is sacked twice.

And on third and goal from the 15, throws a TD with 20 seconds remaining...

The Spirit fans...what's left of them booed them off the field.

LT Page is out for the year, SS Brito is going to miss another 4 weeks.

When I saw Timmerman rack up like 70-80 yards in about 2 drives, I thought this was going to be a game where I clawed back, took the lead and shut down your offense because my defense tends to improve as the game goes on. Sadly, shortly after that, like you said the penalty stacking started to kill me. I can handle a false start here and there, but when it's followed with another false start and then an offensive hold, that puts me in a huge hole.

Like last season, now would be a perfect time to be able to see who's getting these penalties. O-Line penalties killed me last season too. Maybe it's just one guy causing the problems. I thought it may have been Mahler, and still possibly could be. Maybe today it was just a bunch of random O-Line guys trying to hold a tough defense in check.

Anyway, like I said I expected a loss, hoped for a win. It's going to be a long second half. I get to play the mostly healthy version of LOU twice, an improve Murf team that destroyed me opening week, nasty teams like IWC, Little Rock, and Columbia, a tough Texas team in their stadium, and probably a more healthy version of the Cards. Good luck the rest of the way, i'm just glad your division is out of the way for me now. 2-2 against it, not bad I suppose.

[Pirates]

And we are Madison's bitch. At least our punter was solid. Now we lose our premiere DE for the year. Also, of note. Our O line is really pitiful. I say nice game but I think you guys just played catch all day, while we sat on the bench.

Sorry about your backup QB especially considering McMurray's injury. That's just wrong losing two QB's like that.

Great job on the defense though especially with what you have left on offense. That run defense shut my guys down.

[dberner30]

CLE got a bullshit win over us today....we had them whipped...and to make it bad they get us to OT...then we go offsides on a missed FG to give them a 2nd shot and they get the win....FOF cheats.

[eckman]

We did claw out the victory and we played by far our worst game of the year.

Considering we fumbled 4 times lost 3 and threw 2 int's and you couldn't put up more than 6 offensive points(only a fumble return for a td was only td) not sure either team deserved to win today. It was a strange game.
