Week #11 Discussion

[Pirates]

Heading into Orlando for the 1st of 7 must wins to end the season. 6 of 7 puts me at 11-5 and I don't think that cuts it for an NC spot this season.

Ya this is a big one for us too. We somehow have to get back on track after the loss of Mueller. I started Hanks instead of Twyner to shake things up. We will see.

[Matt]

man, we sucked rotten apples today.

I waited all day for my guys to not show up to this game. As usual, Virgil tears us apart running and throwing. THis guy loves to eat Bulldog.
ugh!!!

so frustrating.

[CyYoung]

What a terrible game for us. It was painfull to watch

Alvin Mann played an horrible game, we abandonned the run too fast and we had a 6.5 yards a carry average.

It will be a crazy finish in this division

We pulled that one out of our butts. We couldnt stop LR until the end. Offense was average. I tweaked my passing game and we ran a lot more. Doesnt make sense.

Does weather affect your gameplan?

13 QBs have over a 100 rating in the IFL. Thats amazing. And only 3 are close to retiring.

[JesterBlaze]

Well it appears that going 100% aggressive pass defense, while doing nothing to increase my chances of stopping any QB's this season, does indeed open up running lanes.

I actually closed solovision being down only 3 in the 3rd quarter. Not sure how much more of this lack-O-defense I can continue to watch.

Good gameplan and victory, Kurt! The Phantoms have pretty much been eliminated from contention for the 2nd straight season.

With Newark stumbling the Pirates are now in the hunt though!

This is just a feel from watching my games but imo strong defensive lines don't have enough effect against weaker offensive lines and of course coverage is almost non-existent. Strangely my DLine has had it's best days against the best OLines/OLineman it seems and disappears in the games I'd expect them to get 4+ sacks.

Does FOF even have a "QB threw the ball away" line to simulate the 3-10 times in almost any given game that a QB throws the ball out of bounds purposely?

Dewit 20/28 254 yards 4 touchdowns. Didn't Given blow my corners up a couple weeks ago for 4 scores? Is there any fucking point whatsoever to having excellent corners? They have made like...ummm, ZERO difference this year.

Teams are averaging 64% completion rate for 221 yards, 23 points a game. Most of that is passing. I've slowed down a few teams but that's about it. The majority of the winning scores were passing, not rushing. Not only is no one scared to pass against us, they have more success passing then running. I don't get it. I basically have TWO Champ Bailys, and it makes little to no difference.

Regardless grats on another win Vito. You have my number the last 5 years or so. Heres to another high draft pick........

Vipers snatch 8 ints from Hartford quarterbacks ... Warhammer, this definately was not your day.

Still lliking what I am seeing on D as the results have been amazing ... reworked the basic schemes of the D plan about game 6 and have made minor tweaks each week since.

Odds are that the D will not show up one of these weeks. There is a good chance that it will be this week vs. the Toads since the team has been attacked by the influenza flu.

Damn.

Wow! Congrats on that! :shock:

[SteveBsFan]

another loss. Ugh. I am pulling a Philly benching Richard for a game to wake him up, I doubt it will work though because he's basically an idiot.

Well all I changed was I put Connell to 100% instead of 90%. Oh and I changed my QB. The weird thing in this game was we were over 11 yards to go on 3rd downs and there was another stat that went against us but I dont remember what it was. I will say, Torres woke up after a 3 game slump. He definitely reasserted himself. He had 2 sacks and 3 knockdowns. He is having a hell of a season.

[BOSS]

Good win against Dakota!

I don't know if anybody noticed or not but Dakota only threw 3 passes all game. Talk about smashmouth football, both of their backs had over 20 carries. Was kind of a shock watching the game.

This NC North is gonna be tough to win. Madison, Pitt and Lansing are a 23-7 combined.
