Week #1 Discussion

[VitoStallion]

Solid way to start the season. I'm glad I get a good measuring stick game in week 2 as we play host to the defending champs.

The Dragons are a scary team man -- nice work on that roster

[VitoStallion]

#1 pick here we come. This year is going to be painful.

SLC has cursed Hartford for signing away TJ some seasons ago. The ONLY way to lift the curse is to have SLC beat you guys in the regular season 3 times

We squeak out a win against Reno. We'll take it, but we have to get to better to be considered a serious playoff team.

[TimG]

GG Texas. Nail biter to the end as always.

We start the new season with a much needed win. It should still be a semi rough year for us, but we are slowly getting better.

GG Georgia, Thought I had it there in the end.

Was part of the curse winning the Imperial Bowl in 2009 with Palmateer?

What???!!! You seriously did not just imply that I drafted for glamour. Now that you finally made this groundbreaking discovery about the lines (lol) you want to blast my rebuild? C'mon Jave, you can't honestly look at my team and tell me that I've not recovered from salary cap debacle quite nicely. I may not have a winning season with a 2nd year QB and an 11-year vet at RB, but I will be competitive.

I blew 2 draft classes chasing players until I sat down and settled on the offensive/defensive schemes I want to run.

Iceman knows that I wanted to go defense with my pick BUT I had a serious need at WR -- Dewitt only had a TE to throw to. I lucked out by having NT Ordona (the reason you'll be drafting another C/G next off-season) fall to me in the 2nd and even hit on my 3rd rounder (WILB) as he's an exact fit for my defense.

Fuck being sexy on paper -- have you seen the screen shots of the Stallions in uniform? Especially the Crimson Jersey / Black Pants combo---bitch we are sexy on paper and on the field :P

As for double teaming Gomez -- you might just want to do that next game

Haha bro, naaa. I just couldn't think of anything more creative to say after losing yet again to ya. It's all good. I discovered the problem. I still wouldn't double him but it appears I set my D up wrong and had linebackers covering receivers. Since I didn't activate my rooks till the last second I was scrambling to get everyone in the right place and just dropped the ball on that. No worries, I will see ya soon in Oakland.

[Warhammer]

thanks ... hope the season gives you a few more breaks that you got in this game. What I saw on the field was not a Hartford team.

What was odd in that game was the first quarter we looked pretty even. Then it got ugly.

I am also pretty damn bloody embarrased by the game. We just looked bad, and you nailed it, that is not Hartford football.

No, the curse was levied after that win (flames on my bald head)

I'm just giving you plenty of talk---you told me I'd better do it this season

JT says the fans want more of that bitches panties up on the battle staff next game so he's got some work to do...

I was hoping nobody would notice. Now if we can only turn it into on-field success. So glad to have Mount Hood back after missing all of last season.

Thanks for reminding me, I need to polish that bad boy again...

Beginning to think the same thing after our Week 1 game. Still smarting over that one.

[Vic Carucci]

The output is the work of gstelmack's utility, but Vic has taken the time to get it on our board.

yes. Big thanks to gstelmack for the utility and all he offers to the FOF community
