Reports out of Tulsa say 16 inches of snow is expected to fall on the day of the game. With 18 mph winds, white out conditions could happen. There are rumors out of the league office that the game is going to be postponed. The Tulsa front office was deluged with phone calls from fans wanting the game to go on. And on it will go.
This game will go down in IFL history, one way or another.

Good luck morellomre. This is going to be fun.

Everyone hang on.

I have church at 8:30. My daughter has an indoor soccer game at 11:10. Do I have time enough in between to watch or do I wait? I may be too excited to wait.

[BOSS]

The weather conditions really add more intrigue to the game. I can't wait to watch the game as well. Gonna be good weather in Madison, 45 degrees and no wind.

[Matt]

That's Irby weather.

[Ragin]

Come on Tuffy, represent!

[JMO]

im confused about time zones..is the sim in 15 mins or an hour and 15?

[r00k]

Snowstorm in Tulsa seems to have the networks in a big delay

[Suicane]

Sorry guys, sorry sorry. Running the sim now!

[BOSS]

Nice victory Jester!

I thought we played pretty decent on offense but the two turnovers in the redzone really hurt us.

Defense wise we geared up to shut your running game down but Stansfield took advantage and hit a lot of long passes. Thats what good QB's do though.

Our defense sucked balls all year. Its something we will have to address in the draft. We can't get to the QB or stop the pass.

Good luck the rest of the way jester....

What an exciting game.
The snow really affected the game. Both teams performed below normal on offense. Big stops by my defense and an exciting late game rally led by Sanford and Albriktsen.
Albriktsen came up big today. 11 for 162 and a TD.
Sanford outplayed Hamilton today. But just barely.

GG morellomre.

[JMO]

watched the 1st quarter then turned off. typical seals playoff performance. run alot on third and long, fumble and give the other team as large a lead as possible before starting to play. GG Murf. I hope you win it all.

[Cringer]

Congrats to the winners

Good game, BOSS!

Charles Bell is a monster! I thought I'd do a much better job but he was just too strong. Luckily, as you mentioned, he dropped one and we were able to snag the only forced fumble of the game.

I didn't think I'd be able to run on you despite your somehow not being ranked very high in rush defense so that was just a coincidence that worked in my favor that I chose to come out passing the same game you geared up against the run.


On to Tulsa where one GM is gonna get a piping hot serving of just what he asked for last week! :twisted:

Cleveland: Single-Back formation with four receivers, strength is left. The defense is in a 43 with nickel personnel and 3-deep zone coverage, expecting the run. 3-10-BOS23 (2Q: 13:46) Corey Perkins pass completed to WR Daniel Williams for 3 yards. Tackled by CB Glen Wansley. PENALTY: Cleveland was called for Offensive Holding.

Cleveland: Strong formation, strength is right. The defense is in a 43 with nickel personnel and 3-deep zone coverage, expecting the pass. 3-20-BOS33 (2Q: 13:38) Corey Perkins pass completed to WR Roger Egbert for 22 yards. Tackled by CB Sandy Lindo, assisted by S Preston Paxson. Egbert gained 8 yards after the catch.

Cleveland: Pro formation, strength is right. The defense is in a 43 with nickel personnel and 2-deep man-to-man coverage, expecting the pass. Blackburn is blitzing. 1-10-BOS11 (2Q: 12:59) Corey Perkins pass completed to RB Riddick Scialabba for 11 yards and a TOUCHDOWN! The quarterback threw away from the double coverage. Boston 10, Cleveland 6

Decline the penalty and make them kick the FG. Whiting even missed a short FG later in the game.

We just never beat Cleveland. Perkins hit his first 23 passes and was barely under pressure all game long. Still we were in it all game long even after giving up a KO return for a TD to start the 2nd half.

I'm happy for now knowing we won our first AC East title, and our first playoff game. I'm sure we will get a strong test from West Virginia and Norfolk as we try to defend our crown.
