Then, we just couldn't stop the Power, only to overtake them on a 47 yard bomb to McCellion with time running out on the clock. From a guy (Lara) who can't really throw the long ball effectively. Way too many, "into double coverage...caught" comments. I though double coverage was to prevent catches. I know it happens but really...this often?

    Ok...so I complain...but still win...problem is....I don't know exactly what I did to win, maybe just shelf the game film and hope for some more luck next week?

    Sheesh...If I'm Pittsburgh...I a bit fumed!

    But i'm not Pittsburgh.
    I've always had a feeling that double coveraged helped prevent QBs from throwing from a receiver. It doesn't mean that throws won't be completed. Not positive, though.

      Yeah you have a team on the rise. I goofed on the goal-line setting forgetting to set it back to zero. Really irritating when you're in run agro and goaline on 3rd and long all the time.

      I wouldn't be surprised if you challenged Portland this year for the top spot. All your young guys seemed to boom.
      I hope we will can rebuild like that through the draft. We need 1st-round talent in the wr corps and secondary badly.

        i'm not expecting to win much this season. same result with Portland, just a different owner. we need some high picks anyway.

        and Sante is out, forgot to check how long. we were fucking useless offensively. Sante is such a waste. i can't wait to make him my backup QB.

            Nice start to the season with a big win over Lansing. They kinda handed the game over to us with the turnovers but we'll take it.

            Was happy with our running game as we were just terrible running the ball last year. We paid some extra attention to that in this training camp and so far it seems better.

            DE Archie Simmons got to Hamilton once and also had a hurry. Were expecting big things from him this year. I like this guy a lot.

            QB Will Irby had 5 TD throws but not very much yardage. He looks like he will continue off where he left last year we hope. He had a fine season last year, his best.

            We travel to Murf next week in a tough matchup. Would be real nice to pull out a win there.

              7 of my 11 offensive starters have 3 years of experience or less. That doesn't even count my top pick at LT either who isn't starting this year. On defense I have two starters with over 6 years of experience. All in all when this team comes around it should be solid for a long while. I just don't know if it's quite ready right now.

                we turned it over 4 times, we deserved to lose. few bright spots in this game..we played like it was preseason week 6. giving up 45 points is embarrising.

                    Im back.

                    What a bummer. Its always tough to win on the road against a division rival.
                    I got what I expected. Good offense and poor defense. Still as mentioned before it took a 57 yard FG.

                    Albriksten-- 5 for 116. Finally a weapon at WR.

                    Sanford-- 18/27 for 285 and 1 TD.

                    Singleton-- 23 for 132 3 TDs and 1 FL. 7 catches 38 yards 1 TD.

                    If my defense shows up, I will have a tough team.

                    GG Ice....wait I mean, TimG. Ill get you at my place.
