Week #17 Discussion

[markc]

Well...FUCK. SLC does JUST ENOUGH to advance to the playoffs and we are out. Ohh well, it turned out to be our best year since...since..wow, 2009. So I'm pleased with the strong finish more then I'm disappointed with just missing the playoffs.

Yeah, we hung with them for a while, but our defense couldn't stop the big play. First time I've seen the "defense is not moving quickly enough on this cold day" and "RB looks a little sluggish" messages - kind of humorous.

Congrats SLC on winning the division again, I hate going up against Gomez, I haven't seen another WR catch so many passes when double covered.

I'm very disappointed with the 6-10 finish - especially after we started out 4-2. But looking forward to the draft (and watching the playoffs)

Caro embarasses Warthogs on game opening drive with a 27 yard TD strike to Fields on 3rd and 8.
Warthogs respond with a 51 yard Oksenberg blast Portland 7 Fresno 3 late 1Q
Caro embarasses Fresno again 14-3 Seals end of one. Portland wins a field position battle mid 2Q
with another Caro strike. Fresno responds with a huge TD to keep the game competitive. Unforutunatly
Warthogs left Caro over 2 minutes and Portland got an end of half FG making the score 24-10 Seals
Fresno goes 3 and out to open second half, Warthogs hold Seals - but fumble away the punt. Seals turn
the TO into a TD 31-10 Portland mid 3Q. Warthogs respond with a Chapman TD run 31-17 Seals to end the third.
Seals open 4Q with a FG to make it a 3 posession game.
Schwartz connects with Chapman early 4Q to make the score 34-24 Portland. And that would be the final
as the Seals run game did enough and the Seal D responded the 1 time Fresno got the ball.

looked like you were trying to give the game away with all those penalties but long runs after the catch killed us. GG and Good Year.

GG Kobeck. Caro has been coming on strong in the second half of this season. I think he and I are finally making friends. I'm sure he doesn't mind that I drafted Omar Robinson for him.

I'm still kind of in shock.. I debated starting my rookie QB over Virgil because it felt like a lost cause and Virge absolutely humiliated himself in the previous game... but then I figured it might be his last game and it wouldn't be cool to him to bench him.. and this is the result.. wow

[BuddaKINGII]

gg la...the ko return was the difference in the game. surprised we squeaked in because I thought we needed clev, por, or hou to lose forgot all about murf having to win also. ty Lou you are so gracious...hahaah

Congrats to Oliver McKenzie, who I think went over 200 career PDs this week, though I don't have FOF open to verify. I think he was at 198 and had 2 PDs at some point on the weekly Solovision stat board.

[tarcone]

Yes, McKenzie got his 200th pass defensed this week.
