Week #5 Discussion

[tarcone]

Well, the offense really missed Brick. We couldnt get anything going. So the defense took it upon themselves and played a masterful game.

GG Mark

Lots of injuries and the flu hit Tulsa. A test of depth for Tulsa and a ray of hope for the 1-4 Wolfpack.

[Matt]

FYI
Wolfpack is much better than their record.

[tarcone]

I hope not. Or it will be a long day.

[SteveBsFan]

GG Anc, close one

[JesterBlaze]

Madison led for most of the game but the Phantoms had just enough to pull out the W in the 4th. Very good game, BOSS.


Penn is just ridiculous right now. Good to see Mr. Hamilton fitting right in!

[ukpatfan]

My running game sucks. Glad I could win, but running ball is not something we are very good at this year, nor is red zone offense.

Good game Wichita. Luckily, I pulled out a win.

GG WVA,
Managed to keep it respectable....phew.

My running game was really hurt with Norris out but new wideout Stonebarger continues to excel.

Last two games we've played two AC East powerhouses and I'm glad to say Wichita have kept it competative.

Glad we have the bye week to work on Norris in the treatment room.

Haha I was about to say Argot has had my number since he took Reno over...lets see if we can get a legitimate win again a TOUGH division rival!

And...he STILL has my number. Sigh. Going to watch the game and comment later.

Great game Jave! You came storming back and just felt lucky to get the last minute touchdown. I was glad to get the coin flip because I just was unable to stop Jarvis...I hate him.

You had all the turnover stats and we still managed to squeak it out...

Our division is messed up...What the heck is going on there...Vancouver? SLC 2-3? Going to be a slugfest to the end.

Bryan McNeil's day makes me think we can now jettison Collela without too much worry.

[Matt]

Oops, missed 2 game weeks. Good games guys. Where can I download last week's box?

you can always grab from here.

gg tarcone.

Yeah - your defense just completely stymied us - 9 straight punts! Your special teams were excellent as well. To add injury to insult we had a rash of injuries, the most serious being a concussion to Nitschke. Obviously I really hope this doesn't start him on the road to retirement.

[morellomre]

ugh, ive dealt with guthrie's fumbling issues his whole career - numerous times trying to move him or find an alternative. now we pick up a hot shot rookie and start to gameplan around him and he gets the fumblitis bug. i really hope this was just one a game thing or something he can work out of through experience, but the lansing front office is not happy right now.

no clue how we pulled out this game though.

[Mike17]

Mike ...

A good solid game that could have gone either way ... very evenly played IMO ... but the ball went your way at the end for the win ... that 45 yarder to Markel broak my heart. Liked what I saw from my recent WR pickup, Newman. GG, you have a good team and it may not be the last time we see each other this year.

GG r00k. This was a good one to watch. A very closely matched game. We got a few more lucky breaks, but this one really could've gone either way.

Hunter Battle continues to look good carrying the rock (4.89 ypc on the season). Very happy with the rookie performances from him and TE Bressany. Bressany doesn't get many looks due to the 6.3 nerf on TEs, but I'll take his 19.86 avg/c even if he only gets the ball once or twice a game.

[kingfc22]

We can't do anything on offense. I completely changed my game plan and the results were still as shitty as ever.

I guess we just suck.

[Jave]

We couldn't stop the pass, we couldn't stop the run, you racked up 500 yards of offense, scored on your first 4 possessions...WOW, I don't even know where to start. How is it you hadn't won a game? I know my defense, nor my gameplan is THAT bad, I'm at a loss for words here.
I sat down this morning to work on the gameplan but you toasted my defense so bad i don't even know where to start making changes. And WTF with my first 3 out of 4 games being on the road. That NEVER happens in the NFL, why do we have to put up with it in the IFL? Never understood the scheduling. Congrats again, Argot, I don't think I have ever won a matchup with you yet...would have to look to make sure but jesus, it's like playing SLC every week. I can't win a division game to save my life.

lol...take your meds and calm down. This was my first home game...week 5!!! With all that offense you still almost won. And...to tell you the truth...I did take some extra game planning time because I knew it was you... : )

What freaked me out most was Oakland aggressively expecting the run and Castillo still ran for 5-7 yards.
