Week #14 Discussion

[VitoStallion]

GG Houston, I had hoped to keep the momentum going

[r00k]

GG Georgia ... I should have never been able to stay in this game. The Vipers were simply awful ... I can't bear to comment on it any more ... this team is spent.

With that being said, the rest of the division ate some crow too. So it looks like the division crown will come down to division play as division teams face off in two of the final three weeks. This is killing me ... sseing a chance to be in the playoffs with a team that is clearly not of the caliber needed to earn such a berth.

My miserable season continues with my 10th loss. Another starter goes down as Hawkins has a sprained ankle and will be out 2 weeks. He will join Doyle, Bailey, Mulligan and Barton on the bench to watch the carnage that has turned out to be 2013.

This has been one of the worst seasons in franchise history and I will be glad to see it end.

GG Anchorage. Where are all the naysayers on DT Toby Torres? He has a 70 tackle 10.5 sack season going. Plus 6 FF.

Donald Hanks is close to being a season saviour. I am not looking forward to playing Lawerence after their Californication this week, but the next game is a must win.

Time for even more gameplanning. I finally feel like some tweaks are working. Not huge stuff, but little stuff. I don't think we can do enough to stop the Phantoms, but what the hell. We will let Torres loose and try and disrupt as much as possible.

This team is AMAZINGLY horrible. Here we are 13 weeks into the season and they can do NOTHING right.


Almost allowing TWO hundred yard rushers today(Winters 77yds and Tribble 85yds for an astounding 5yd average between the two. So we defended the pass right? NOPE, we give up 2 scores and 200 yards through the air as well allowing Hairston a 91 QB rating.

We start the game going 3 and out 4 straight times.Get an 8 play drive for a FG and go 4 and out 3 more times. So in 9 possessions we fail to get a first down on 7 of them. NOT ONE FUCKING FIRST DOWN.
We give up almost 400 yards of offense, commit 9 penalties, get sacked 3 times, and have an amazing 3rd down percentage of 11.5%. Thats a fucking pathetic 3 of 14 on 3rd downs. WOW!
We get nearly DOUBLED on time of possession(LOU 37 minutes to OAK 22 minutes) and go 1 of 11 on long passes. In short, we can't pressure the quarterback, can't defend the pass OR run, and can't score. Other then that, it was a great game.

Every single fucking coach I have is getting fucking FIRED. I don't care how great his stats look. These guys couldn't beat my high school JV team. I am blowing this shit up in the offseason, this is just unbearable and unwatchable. There is not ONE thing redemming about this team.

funny, I'm seeing the same thing with my team. I really don't think we are playing so good that we should be at the top of the division. One week we look great, and the next we look terrible. Next year is going to mark a big year for us. We'll have a little bit of cap room and I think it will be time to revamp our defensive front four. Or at least add a new DE and DT to play with Otey and Glen Terry. I think we will have a huge focus on the pass rush. This team is just terrible at reaching the QB. Our lack of a pass rush is by far our biggest weakness.

Phantoms punt on our opening possession but OC Bryant White saw something (or nothing) in that drive and proceeded to conjuer up one of the greatest offensive showings in IFL history: Lawrence scored on every possession from that point out and rolled over the limping Heroes 55-28.

The Heroes' decision to throw long only 3 times against a mirror image of weak pass defense has most observers astounded. Surely Sante's 130 passer rating could've been turned up a notch yardage-wise effectively.

:behindsofa:

haha Classic!

[Hell Atlantic]

clearly, after a game like this my DC knows this is his last season here.

Sante scored 3 td's and passed for over 250 yards, no int's. he is not the reason why we lost. my defense is.

[kingfc22]

Unreal. We have a TD wiped off the board due to a penalty, 2 missed FG's and a 4th and 18 roughing the punter that led to Little Rock's winning TD.

Way to blow it guys!

Look on the bright side, you get to play me again :P

Thanks, my season may be shit but there are a lot of bright spots i've noticed on my defense. The stats don't show it, but I think i'm only a few players away from good things.

[tarcone]

Tulsa WR Chris Andrews is putting together the greatest single season performance by a rookie WR. 79 catches for 1176 yards and 12 TDs. 17 20+ catches and 5 100+ yard games. Amazing.

[Matt]

I just love this slide we're on. Just making it interesting for the Phantom Phans. We'd love to back our way into the playoffs and have people sleep on us.

GG Norfolk. This was by far the best game we've played since I took over. I was surprised at how early 'the defense was very familiar with that play' notifications were coming up for your offense. I felt we could win it when that started to happen, but you still managed to stay in the game.

[Jave]

Look on the bright side, you get to play me again :P

Haha, don't you worry. No matter the record or what's at stake or how many guys are injured, the Devils will be ready to play you. You can bet cash money on that!!
