Chris Andrews smashes the Single Season Receiving Yards record this week. He adds another 267 yards today. the new record as of right now is 2232 receiving yards. Wow.

Andrews also surpasses the Receiving TD record with 2 more today. The new record is 20.

What an incredible season.

EDIT: A stat to add to this. Andrews has 1016 yards after the catch. That is incredible.

We need to score 17 unanswered 4th quarter points to defeat Montreal 34-30. Ozzie ran over us but Montreals vaunted defense had no answers for Mr. YAC, Chris Andrews. He had 152 YAC today.

GG Chris.

GO TEXAS!

[Hoosier]

A workmanlike win over Vancouver, and we guarantee our fans at least a .500 season. A win over Fresno in the season finale would give us our best record in five seasons.

Vancouver had a chance to win in the final minutes, but we stopped them on a fourth down conversion attempt, and then we scored from the twenty to go up by nine.

GG Vancouver.

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Well Jave, it's ON YOU NOW 8)

Dude, did you have to break my other QB? I was looking good last week with a 70+ and 60+ qb on the roster, but now it looks like if I get into the playoffs I'll be starting a 33-rated QB...

[Beeznik]

Wow, GG Cleveland. We won the turnover battle for once. Still, our special teams gives up way too much on kick returns. Here I was, watching Tulsa get their shit handed to them by Montreal, thinking the division was in hand...and Tulsa storms back for the win.

What a year. We barely beat Texas earlier this year at home and Tulsa lost to Little Rock. Should be an interesting week 17.

[Chris Rex]

I cannot believe my pussy-fied coach runs it three straight times at the end of the 4th quarter, with my backup RB, once with 2:02 on the clock. They should never have gotten the ball back. I am mystified.

[JesterBlaze]

Phantoms defense is showing up just in time for the playoffs. I hope it keeps up!!

Congrats! That's just crazy!!

3 and out too start game, indluding another Sperg drop and a 0y catch on 3rd and 1 - aruuugh! Huge PR gives Reno ball at Warthog 44 - Arruughhh! Castillo gacked Fresno for 15, 3D conversion, and a Castillo TD catch makes it 7-0 Reno early. 3 Fresno penalties, only 2 accepted on that drive. What a horrible way too start the game.
Johsntone FD is followed by another penalty setting up 2nd and 16 from own 24 and Schwartz unable to connect on 3D. At least Emmons had a good punt. Reno ball their own 20 mid 1Q. D holds Wolfpack to 3 and out and get the ball back at own 41.
Huge Snap Chapman run gets ball to Reno 21 - and there are no flags on the field - but there is a hold to start the drive 1t & 20 from the 31, this drive stall at the 22 and Oksenberg makes the kick 7-3 Reno late 1Q. Warthogs force a punt and take over at their own 19
3 and out for Warthogs. At this point Schwartz is 3 for 9 for 8 yards. 4 PD a drop and a hurry accounting for the missfires. 78 yard PR 14-3 Reno - Arruggh! and that the score at the end of 1. Reno getting some home cooking from the zerbas as Fresno has been flagged 5 times, 4 accepted, to 1 flag that was not accepted for Reno.
Finally a 3d conversion for the Warthogs, 1 of 5 at this point. Schwartz to Roche makes it 14-10 Reno early 2Q. Fresno forces the punt and its a good one as Warthogs take over at their own 18 mid 2Q. Fresno gets a FD which is followed by another hold making another 2nd and 16 situation, Emmons to punt
Another nice PR and Reno has ball at their 38 with 6 mins left in the half, Warthogs get the 3 and out, and Reno pins Fresno at their 18 late 4Q.
Chapman for 5 on FD, dropped pass on second, False start and its 3D & 10 which brings up another dropped pass - just ugly can't win like this. Reno take over at midfield with 4mins left. BIG YAC for Burnnett and it is 21-10 Reno.
3 and out for Fresno. Wolfpack at midfield at the 2 mins warning. 3d & 8 at Fresno 37 - 4 yards setting up 50 yard FG that just clears the bar. 24-10 Reno Schwartz takes a knee to end an ugly half of Warthog football.
2 of 9 on 3D, given up PR TD, given up 67 YAC and a huge YAC TD, punted 6 times, 3 drops, 4 PDs a hurry and a blocked pass with no visits too the redzone. Damn lucky to only be down 2 scores at the half. PLUS Seals are taking care of business at this point. Looking like Fresno is on the verge of a collapse!

HUGE play too start second half. Fresno gives up 1 yard on 3rd and 4 from the Warthog 47 and Wolfpack are in the I with Fresno looking run on 4th and 3 - Beauchamp is chasing McNeil who completes pass to Steverson for 10 before Maggard makes the tackle. Been that kind of day. Beauchamp gets a SAC forcing 40 yard Tatum FG that hits the goalpost wide.
Fresno takes over at their own 30 down by 2 scores mid 3Q. Arugh! Warthogs punting on 4th and 4 from Reno 40 and its a TB. Reno finally called for a penalty with 18 mins left in game. Fresno holds on 3rd and 11, literally Warthogs were called for holding to extend Wolfpack drive. 7-1 flag ratio. and that ends the 3Q with Reno icing the Warthogs 24-10 Reno
Fresno forces punt to start 4Q. Warthogs take over at their own 20 lucky to be down by 2 scores. Schwartz has never came back from 2 scores in the 4Q before. False start, Warthogs convert 3D and both teams are 4 of 12 on 3D now. HUGE 3D pass to Roche, -4 Chapman run followed by 11y SAC 3d and 25 - son of a b*tch!, at least Emmons pinned Reno at the 4.
1 play after Warthog D is familiar with Reno run play Reno runs for 16 - arruggh! Reno running ball down Warthog throat, and of course more penalties don't help. 9-1 now from the zebras. Make that 10-1 as unnecessary roughness puts ball at Warthog 31 with 6 mins left, POs are slipping away. Tatum connects. Warthogs down 3 scores at the 2 minute mark.

Reno played perfect ball and Warthogs could not match. That last drive where Wolfpack ran the ball down Fresnos throat was expecially tough cause Fresno is built to stop the run. dissapointing too say the least.
Well gotta win and hope for some luck to get into the POs.

[Argot]

lol...we wait until the last games of the season to put together a winning streak?...GG Kobeck...Here's the stat of the game. Penalties, Fresno: 10/70, Reno 1/5. Home Field advantage maybe? nevertheless good to keep Chapman and Schwartz from big games. I credit my defense and special teams on this win.

Still alive. Beat some backUp ASS today.

Need some help next week I think. We need to win for sure.

[BOSS]

Took care of business on the road @ Chicago. We picked that guy off 5 times today. LOL

Everything that happened today sets up the Demons to nab the final WC spot. Take care of business @ home this week Matt against Virgil and company.

We should handle business @ home against Dakota but they have actually won 3 of the last 4 against us. Too much on the line this time, we'll be ready for them.

Jave walking into a division title in the WEST. Nobody wants to win that division.

On a sidenote, the league lost a 94/94 rated DT today to repetitive concussion syndrome. Even House M.D. can't fix this guy. He is out for 104 weeks but we all know he is out forever.

[JesterBlaze]

Glen Ross out for TWO YEARS!! Huge monkey wrench in any LR plans.

[Matt]

we lost our boy Norman Enright today.....I hope ankle's don't trigger ratings hits.
