2018 Opening Week Discussion

[Pirates]

Well we sold out to stop the run and it worked. Unfortunately Burger ate us.

[Chris Rex]

Good game, Snipes! I'm glad it wasn't a 5 quarter game.

Here's something that kept me cursing the whole fuckin game:

Everything was set to literally 50% pass, 50% run, with more run if I was up.

I was up most of the game. At one point the ratio was 39 passes to 11 runs.

I wanted to punch the fuckin screen. Hard to drain the clock when you're throwing EVERY FUCKING DOWN for some unknown reason :-/

[tarcone]

That was unexpected. We go into Texas and hammer them. 35-10. Wow.

Singleton scored another TD.

Sanford was sensational.

Defense was what is was. Prescott was the MAN.

GG TimG. Division is still mine.

[VitoStallion]

My offense starts the season with an 18 play / 93 yard march and the new-look Dusty Two gets 6 sacks. Has the stampede returned?

nooooo, did not have my export in time and it cost me.

Usually don't get pissed off about this game when it comes to any of its crazy AI crap it does in games because it all averages out in the end, but this, combined with me missing the export just pisses me off.

Sorry r00k. Don't mean to ruin it for you. Just pissed off about it. Done with venting for the year. Time to shut the f up and try to rebound.

Dang dude, I can't believe you didn't have a GP in ... these games are the ones I look forward to the most ... and I know you have a soft spot for them too. Well, GP or not, the Vipers are not what I signed up for this year. Losing our ass by a ton to the second stringers ... and lucky to pull out a f'n win by the short hairs .... damn.

Also, I was screaming at the game too. I think it was in the second quarter ... had you stopped on my twenty or so on 3rd down ... we accept a holding call and sure enough on the next play we get called for defensive holding and an automatic first down and eventual TD. If I was really on the sidelines, would have given up the 3 points.

And your rant is OK by me ... I would be doing the same thing ... just glad to get the W (I think our division is going to be hell like last year). Now off to see if I can put something together against the Imperial Bowl Champs next week.

and Kozure ... we do meet again ... I will send you an alarm clock, I don't like playing against a REX gameplan.

[tarcone]

Man, Jarvis and Watt just make me want to

[CyYoung]

We were dominating most of the game but not able to reach the damn end zone.

Very good game overall. The defense played really well.

Happy about this 1st win.

GG to Dakota. See you in week 10

GG Vito. Our offense couldn't get anything sustained going while SLC had 3 10+ play drives for TDs.

So is the 2019 draft file available yet?

[kingfc22]

Glad to get the season started with a win. The crowd in Chicago decided to stay away due to the rain even though it was 82 degrees out and it was the IFL's debut in the city.

Too many big plays taken away due to penalties as well. We need to clean that up before we face Dakota.

[Kobeck]

Warthogs win by 3 but I am stuck at work so an HTML update would be Fing awsome. I will blindly say gg Jeffrey cause I am sure it was being 30-27 and all.

[DakotaGeorge]

I didn't watch the game yet I usually do but all n all didnt look too bad and my guy went from livid to angry so we are heading in the right direction.

[sidewinder66]

Congratulations Chris,

Good game by Montreal, not so good game by IWC. Running game doesn't work yet, passing game doesn't work yet, defense is barely ok, result: loss in a division game.

well, 15 more games for me to figure out how to use these players.

[Kobeck]

Well it was a good game. Portland spotted the Warthogs 24-0 lead by the early second, but game was tied at 27 with 9 mins left. Fresno reached midfield and started to crumble under the pressure turning 1&10 into a 4&23 at their own 34, but rookie P Emmons boomed one OOB at the Seals 7 to flip the field. Portland got a FD but Fresno forced a punt that was FC at Fresnos 42 with 4 mins left in the tie game. After a couple of quick FDs the Warthogs were at the Seal 26, but a hold foiled the drive setting Oksenberg up for the game winning 43 yarder. Prestbye grabbed a Caro desperiation heave and the Warthogs were able to gind a FD out to please the sparse home crowd.

[Mike17]

Well, the outlaws shut down Gino Markel, but that was about it. Bud Weiser and Donny Bressany tore it up, as did RBs Battle and Ricci. We scored on every drive but 3.

Danny Oullette did ok for his debut, but he did throw a pick, and we put him on his back 4 times

Sedrick Vance finally snagged the elusive career tackle record. He gets to go out this year with his name is the IFL history books

[Beeznik]

We beat up on Little Rock. We looked ok but there are definitely things that need to be fixed.
