hell of a game of the week!

really looking forward to this heavyweight tilt!

[r00k]

Well, Vipers are going to WV and are surely to get my their butts roughed up a bit today ... fortunately I will not have to witness the carnage til later because I am ...

singing an old song ... " ELI"S COMING" home to N'awlins ... and is going to get his young ass kicked in Southern style by the Saints in the DOME today. Hoping my real team does much better than my fantasy team.

Heading off for the game and will catch you guys in the PM, hopefully after some partying after the game.

[JesterBlaze]

About to find out where the hole lies in this Tulsa Death Star. I got a young pilot who's feeling confident today!

[Kozure]

good luck r00k. As usual, I think our game will be a close one.

[tarcone]

21-14 Tulsa at the end of the 1st quarter.

[tarcone]

Then we went into hibernation mode. Offense was off track today. Too many passes to Sammy Diaz, Offensive line was shaky.

Well, didnt figure I would go 16-0.

[JesterBlaze]

Great game, Tarcone!

The scoring for both teams hit a wall after that crazy 1st quarter. Phantoms scored a goose egg for the entire 2nd half but had just enough to hold on for the win.

Lawrence is looking very strong right now. 7-1 and some impressive names in that "7".

[JesterBlaze]

I hope to post something on this during the week but haven't had much IFL time lately so:

Tobias Stanfield and Harold "Finger" Lozier now stand tied at 136 career victories!

[Kozure]

Good game r00k. Like i said, it was close. Pulled away to win by 11 with a TD with 2 minutes left. You guys rocked in the second half. We just hung on for our lives.

Also, for the first four games of the season, we had 6 sacks. Last three we've had 12. Hopefully, we have our pass rush issues in the past. Andrew Kinney is who I thought he was...with three sacks and a hurry to earn the game ball for us. And he didn't get on the stat sheet that much, but CB Christian Jacobs had a shut down day. No passes thrown his way. Impressive.

I just wish my offense was as efficient as last year. It's not converting third downs like last year and throwing more incompletions. Not sure what to fix.

[CyYoung]

Great game for my offense again this week. The D gave a lot of yards but kept em out of the endzone. Big game now next week to see if we're for real.

GG Madison

[Chris Rex]

Bobby Osbourne is beginning to feel like Persona Non Grata. No true recognition, even after a 164 yrd 5 TD (4 rush 1 catch) game. He is starting to feel the frustration of steady production with no accolades...

[Pirates]

Uh-oh the Pirates won a game. Something crazy is happening in Orlando. Toby Torres finally woke up.

[SteveBsFan]

Man, made a comeback, but couldn't contain Hartford's offense. I also forgot to change my FG distance which cost me a few kicks.. ugh oh well. gg Now I get to play WVA... grrreeattttt

[Argot]

Reno's offense woke up. Lansing's Sherman Jarvis is a stud. Our corners were chasing him all day long. Next week is huge. Reno and Dakota have an early inside track for the wildcard with Penn and SLC running away with division leads.
