Week 14 Discussion

[hawkster]

Now that I'm less pissed...

My QB picked a great game to lay an egg. 3 INTs including one in the red zone. I allowed a grand total of 12 completions, but after losing two secondary starters kept giving up just enough to screw me. Tulsa has the ball on my 28 and it's 3rd and 20 with 2 minutes to go with Tulsa up by 4. I stop them there and they kick the FG, I try to tie with a last second TD. Instead the fuckers get a 21 yard reception and it's game over. That kind of shit happened all game. Despite that, my defense and constant Tulsa mistakes kept me in it, but my offense couldn't do shit after Hanks' pick in the end zone. I needed this one, now I have to hope for Hartford to lose to teams with losing records while I have to count on beating Anchorage and Portland. Fuck....

GG eckman.

The game wasn't close at all, as our defense decided to show up for a game.

freaking Mangrum and Peltier keep getting reinjured. I'm afraid to sit them at this point, but it would be nice to have them healthy for the stretch run.

[Suicane]

Good game Boss. My defense, save for one 99 yard drive allowed, was stupendous. Maldanado is out for the Houston game though. Mother#%$^

Now the decision, do I keep Sanders in there or give Mark his job back :?:

Take the Colonel out, for Pete's sake take him out. I'd rather take my chances with McMurray.

nice win for the outlaws...

and jeff we lost to them because the game cheated.

[P. Diddy]

Good game P. Luxx, it looks like it was closer than you anticipated.

No, it wasn't closer than I anticipated. That was false humility and resignation to being in the wrong division.

[P. Diddy]

And good job taking Burgos out. I didn't think you could. Except for his TD, he was a non-factor. You are an able opponent!

[BuddaKINGII]

Good game Columbia! We couldn't get past the 30 yard line in the early on and after that it was all downfield. Mintz you bitch kicker... :lol:

[spunkywhitebread]

Great job Texas especially with the defense. Caro has had a hot hand recently and you cooled him down.

And the injuries just keep piling on for the second season in a row. I lost a starting CB, starting FB, starting G, and a backup WR to go along with my other injured receivers. It could be worse I guess. I could be Texas or WV with 6 guys out. Ouch.

[Hell Atlantic]

almost won my first game in a long time. a tie still sucks.

in any event, the game was very exciting to watch. a missed extra point by CAL is what allowed this nonsense to happen.

Steamin' JB Lincoln can not go one game without ripping off a huge run.

You should have seen what I did in 2004, that was easily my best coaching job after week 9 or so.

It's pretty obvious by looking at my Scouting Report that I kinda like my tight ends. Otherwise, I wouldn't have mentioned Burgos before the game, but I figured you'd know that he was our biggest weapon with all the injuries in the backfield and wide receiving corps. I have three good TEs. Even Bracy is a great blocker. But Connell is 100% again, Dean and a few of the wide outs should be, too, soon, so hopefully we'll finish the season strong and at least put a respectable record together even if we miss the playoffs. I think I'm making good progress with this team, but we'll see how next season goes.

Quite honestly I am impressed with how the team has come together considering the cap hell I think that team was in. I was actually worried a bit about Connell, whenever you have a back like that you've got to worry about him. With no WRs to cover heavily, I was able to keep the safeties home which helped to contain Burgos.

What I really need to do is keep my base offense in the gameplan longer. This is the 5th game or so in a row I have jumped out to a big lead, get out of our base offense and then get out of our groove. I think I need to change my numbers a bit.

Still, I am asking myself what could have been if Hickman wasn't out for so long. We've played great ball, and our defensive stats are a bit misleading considering the teams we've played this year. Our offense has already set a team record for points and we still have 3 games to play!

Connell is excellent but he was questionable for our game today, so I ran him, but lightened his load a little with a decent free agent I picked up this week. Luckily, he didn't get worse - which is always the fear of playing an important guy who's injured. Dodged a bullet. The only half-way decent wide out right now who's healthy is the rookie, so he's getting some great experience already, sort of a consolation, I guess.

As far as the base offense goes, yeah. I hear you. I've tried fiddling with the point ranges a lot this season to try and accomplish that with varying success. I do have the league's most over-rated QB, but he's actually coming around and plays well if I can keep the ground game as a constant threat - even with a bit of a deficit - and pass block. He needs a few more targets so you can probably guess what I'll be looking for in the draft this off-season - aside from another corner! Yikes... Can't wait to play Jeff's team with that gawd awful YPA against. QBs are just throwing around Perez and torching the rest of the secondary. Bice and Martinez are going to be a challenge - if they're still in the line-up on the last week of the season, that is.

Only way I will ever sit guys is if I have the #1 seed wrapped up. And that's not likely. I will not be pulling an "Anchorage" in Week 17.
