I get to travel to Canada this week!!!!!

too bad it's the left coast. oh wells. looking forward to facing what looks to be a tough Vancouver defense.

[JesterBlaze]

Game time and only one post and that from the guy who's running the games. Not a good sign for our little league.


Oakland and a potential upset of the decade (?) based on in game rankings has me scared right now. Not sure I'm gonna watch the games right away.

[Matt]

It's called the "mid season stretch".

Well......we gave ya a run ya sonofabitch! Haha. I lost, yes, but I couldn't be more pleased. You just ended my season but at least we put up a fight!! Not sure about crack smoking Greene. I demand a steriod test! And 22 in the 4th. WOW, just fucking WOW. Don't know what to say about that.

[Kozure]

Good game, California. You're defense either played great (probably) or Harding played like a guy that hasn't started a game in a month and a half. He just couldn't get crap done against your defense and that was a major reason for our loss.

That QB of yours is going to be great, but my pass defense has a habit of making every QB look great.

[Matt]

ugh!!!!!! what a game. I knew playing like shit the past few games was going to catch up with us. Seems like we got bit this week. Fumbles really hurt us, and what is likely what lost us the game. Our defense, which blew in the 1st half, came to play again in the 2nd half. However, when it counted and we needed a stop, we let them convert 2 big 3rd downs before stopping them on their their 3rd attempt. Always seem to have trouble with the damn KillerWhales!!!
Hey Burger!!! what the hell were you doing throwing a long bomb on 4th and 2 from our 48 when we needed a FG to win? You suck!!!!!!!

Hell yeah you did!! Horace Donovan is every bit as tough as I expected he could be! You're well on your way to a GREAT squad though this year seems to have passed you by. Great game, Jave!!


2nd week in a row the Phantoms come back from 21 down to snatch a victory. Stanfield now has more 4th quarter comebacks than the Great Harold "Finger" Lozier and can arguably be considered the IFL comeback kid... or... old man.


The Leash never made me so proud as this series in today's game:

Oakland: Kley is blitzing. 1-15-OAK29 (1Q: 08:08) Horace Donovan pass fell incomplete. ILB R.J. Kley hurried the quarterback into a bad throw.

Oakland: 2-15-OAK29 (1Q: 08:00) Geoff Wilson ran inside the left guard for -2 yards. Tackled by ILB R.J. Kley.

Oakland: 3-17-OAK27 (1Q: 07:33) Horace Donovan pass fell incomplete, intended for WR Kent Mulligan. ILB R.J. Kley simply crushed the receiver as the ball arrived.

Now to see some of the other IFL action...

We hang on against a spirited Georgia squad.

I cannot figure this team out. We just cant seem to put together a good game. My defense was not good today. We made their crappy QB look awesome today. I have built my defense to stop the pass. But we cant.

Singleton is bringing back memories of 2012. He ran all over Georgia today.

Sanford is just not right this season. Im not sure what his deal is.

GG Georgia.

[Matt]

I spent the whole time glancing over at the LAW / OAK game. I'm thinking in my head that it's ok if i lose because LAW is losing. So I end up losing, only to switch over to see that freak Stanfield pass to Greene 6 times in the last 3 minutes of the game, including the game winning score. So I look at his stats. 14 catches on 22 targets.......4 TD's>>>> 210yds. Not looking forward to meeting these guys

[Matt]

Oh, and good bye A.J. Robinson. He tore his knee up in this one against VAN. Man, this game hurt big time!!!

[Jave]

Ya just can't beat this:

Tobias Stanfield pass completed to WR Shake Greene for 22 yards. Tackled by OLB Ken Allmon, assisted by CB Nicky Doyle. Greene gained 9 yards after the catch. The quarterback threw into double coverage.

Tobias Stanfield pass completed to WR Shake Greene for 12 yards. Tackled by CB Nicky Doyle. The receiver ran his route right over the middle of the field. The quarterback threw into double coverage.

Tobias Stanfield pass completed to WR Marty Silvan for 6 yards. Tackled by CB Heath Borum. The quarterback threw into double coverage.

Tobias Stanfield pass completed to WR Shake Greene for 13 yards and a TOUCHDOWN! The quarterback threw into double coverage.

Tobias Stanfield pass completed to WR Marty Silvan for 20 yards. Tackled by S Morris Capstraw. The receiver ran his route right over the middle of the field. Silvan gained 9 yards after the catch. The quarterback threw into double coverage.

Tobias Stanfield pass completed to WR Arnold Greene for 20 yards and a TOUCHDOWN! Greene gained 7 yards after the catch. The quarterback threw into double coverage

Man, I just don't know what else to do here. I had the game plan, but this is fucking insane. Like Brady to fucking Moss!!

[Matt]

oh, and thanks Tarc. Blackshear played for us today much like he played for you!!!!

Our team as a whole is crappy, not just our QB.

I was surprised it was that close. We got some lucky turnovers to make it a game. I'm starting to wonder if we're gonna win a game this year.

As for our QB, besides two REALLY bad games, he hasn't been all that bad. 8 of his 14 INTs came in two games. I blame that on the fact that he's a rookie.

GG Tulsa.

[tarcone]

Yeah Blackshear has his days

I think Lawrence will go 19-0 this season. I just dont see anyone beating them. They are playing at a level way beyond anyone else.
