Week #10 Discussion

[Kobeck]

138 win HC Rapaport O play calling - Good, D play calling - Excellent

Rookie HC Pomeranz D playcalling - Very Good, O play calling - Very Good


That should be a wash, with both teams getting better calls on the D side.

ridiculous today, just ridiculous

[Kozure]

Special kudos to king for knocking off an undefeated. Always like to see our division do well vs. the others. You are have a great season and glad to see it until we meet again in the final week.

Huge game for you next week vs the dreaded Beasts.

we aren't that dreaded anymore. If Hartford had 10 more seconds on the clock, they would have forced overtime. We were hanging on by a thread in the second half of this game.

[Kobeck]

and another thing. I have not had MY gameplan executed since the last upgrade. I have started from scratch, used the canned ones, ect... every week my gameplans are Rexed.

I have no clue why. refrained from bitchin' about it until now though.

4th play of the game:

I lose pretty much my team captain and most of my pass defense opening up the floodgates for a aerial onslaught.
I manage to keep chugging along what is suddenly a very competitive game and power our way to a 24-17 lead when..........

And that for all intents and purpose was the end. Vancouver goes on a tear scoring 21 unanswered points and the division lead.

I'd love to meet ya at full strength but GG Mark.

That sucks Jave, sorry about that and gg anyway. Donovan was slicing and dicing my defense, going 8 for 8 before he went down. The way he was leading your offense, It was highly unlikely we could've kept up with you.

The division is yours to lose now.

The injury to Donovan reminded me that we are one injury away from complete disaster. And we've had no success at all beating Reno, which comes to town next week. They've won 8 in a row against us. But it is cool to have a good shot at the division!

I watched the end of the Reno-Orlando game, that was very entertaining. And one of the undefeated teams goes down - so what is the best reg. season record ever in the IFL? I can't find it in the almanac.

Go to Global Game Options, open it, go to Edit Global Options, check NO to Coach Resets Gameplan.

That should help.

[tarcone]

Best season ever is 14-2. Tulsa holds the season record for wins with last seasons 17-2 mark.

[Kobeck]

Wow thanks Tarcone. I guess Jim "upgraded" that for everyone huh.

Any of the others need ticked in a particular way? I only play IFL on the laptop, well IFL only on FOF2k7 anyways.




Oh and away from my gripping - tough break Jave. I know how that feels. On the upside that should not be a career impacting injury for a QB, but I have no clue how FOF2k7 handles it.

[tarcone]

I set them to no except for Hide Results, Add Formation Info and Save GP and Depth Chart. Those are Yes.

[JesterBlaze]

Congrats, Matt! The NC East, and maybe the NC, is yours now.

I'm totally confused and pondering a Phantoms defensive player fire sale in the off-season. Opening FOF for 15 minutes each Saturday to get a last minute gameplan in isn't clearing things up for me either - strange.

P.S. 6 more tackles for Sedrick Vance. Only 39 away from the all-time record

Getting real close now...

Good teams find a way to win regardless....you earned the win bro. I'm still gonna try to keep up but with no pass defense, and no pass offense, not looking good. Regardless it was still a good game. We just didn't plan on having Donovan go down so my gameplan needs a complete rework now.

ouch lol

Wilkins has a monster game in a close loss. GG Reno. I never expected to do much this year, but Wilkins is out stripping my expectations. He could have a 4000 yard rookie season. MLB Reilly is really having a sophomore slump. I need to get him more involved. I can't wait to get more talent on the O line and secondary and we may actually start to threaten.

remind me not to hire that DC, but remind me to hire the Pirate OC

[tarcone]

[Matt]
