We will win.

i'm convinced we will.

[markc]

I don't have a good feeling about the Oakland game. We've caught a few breaks the past two games with Oakland and it may be time for a shift in momentum. I think Gunther's play is the big wildcard in this game.

[r00k]

The WV-Norfolk game should be a wild one. The Beasts only lost by one point to the Vipers in the first week. Another two points in that game and they would be the only undefeated team in the IFL. The Vipers have lost only once as well, three points to the Mules.

It was a 32-31 affair in the first week ... it could be very much the same or perhaps defense will rule the day. In any case, I truly enjoy my match-ups with Kozure and look forward to these games as much as the playoffs.

K... still need to do a game plan but very looking forward to seeing you on the field this Sunday.

We travel to Lawrence to continue our rivalry. This game features 2 of the top IFL quarterbacks. This one could be a 47-45 type game. Strap your chin guards, fellas. Its going to be wild.

[Beeznik]

We will win.

i'm convinced we will.

I agree, this will be a tough one on the road for us. I think we'll probably lose. Although, I thought we would lose @ Vermont and vs. Lawrence too.

We get two big time defensive players back from injury for this one, Harris Garrod and Jerome Watkins. It would be nice to build a nice lead and have the defense hold it this time.

[VitoStallion]

Hmmmm, why do I have a bad feeling about this game???

Gameplan in. Hate to go into Norfolk when first in the division is on the line. That week 1 debacle could end up haunting us big time. A win today would help erase that.

Good luck r00k. We have two very similar teams, stat wise. I think another 1 point game isn't out of the question. If we can play well in the red zone and on third downs on both sides of the ball, I think we should be OK to make the game competitive. I think whoever struggles with that this game, loses.

[Kozure]

stopped watching at the end of the first half. no reason to continue that. Good game r00k. No excuses. We got our ass kicked.

WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no idea where that came from. Didn't expect this outcome, but what the hell, I'll take it.
As nice as it is to perform well and put up a lot of points, my HC Eugene Poston continues to not follow my inputted game plan. Jamison can't get it going still.
I'll take it, but I'm totally confused.

tough loss Beez. Good luck the rest of the way

[sidewinder66]

good game jeffrey,

this team continues to puzzle me. one week they play horribly and the next week they have a very good game.

important three game stretch against Wichita, Montreal and Cleveland coming up. Wondering which team will come out in these games, the good one or the bad one. We need to be more consistent to compete in this tough division.
