I've been away..................

Very happy to win against a young Generals team. We are now 2-0 since trading away Duane Edwards. I don't quite understand it, considering Edwards is a leading defensive player of the year candidate.

Great Tulsa Lawrence matchup.

Is this Lions team for real? they're the only undefeated team left in the IFL

[Matt]

Ozzy was on fire this week. sweet nasty

[r00k]

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.

Kozure, you are way too kind with your remarks. Thanks anyway. The Beasts were really in control the whole game but I am glad we played respectfully and did not embarrass ourselves. Kinney would have been my choice for MVP also. He was awesome. Vinny Haase, an ex viper, also surpirsed me with his play. On D, you are doing alot of things right. On O, Markel is the real deal. Not even midseason yet, but the Beasts seem to be in good form.

As for the SAINTS ... they rock!!!

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!

Jester, conceding that Tobias will take over the crown for career wins.

Thank goodness the game sorts "Quarterback Comparison" by percentage and not wins. So, with a little luck that Tobias does not run the table for the rest of this season and that he does get another loss or two (and also that he finally retires at the end of this season) , the game will still sort the quarterbacks in this thread when opened and Finger should still be at the top of this list!

Not taking anything a way from Stanfield's over all career credits ... he has been awesome ... but seeing Finger remain on top of this list will be sweet.

[Kobeck]

Lynx whopped the Warthogs with a huge PR for TD giving momentum to Anchorage. Schwartz was being harrassed throughout the 4th quarter and 4 different WRs had drops.

On the bright side at least the game was competitive

[BuddaKINGII]

Yep good game Kobeck. Once you have more weapons for Schwartz you're gonna be tough to stop. Those drops didn't help you. Looks like we got beat deep on more than one occasion. Not to happy about Galloway getting more carries than Ramsey. Still alot of stuff to tweak...later all.

GG Matt. We kept it close early, but couldn't stay with you.

Barlow will be getting the nod at QB from here on out. Time to get our future some experience.

[markc]

GG Jave. Impressive 80-yd bomb on the first play. My QB continues to generate defensive top performers. This season has the look of another 3-13 record for the Whales.
