2019 Week #16 Discussion

[r00k]

Me as we'll r00k
I've been spending all week thinking about what to do and I will spend some time this evening finalizing what I've been thinking about doing.

GL and really looking forward to it.

Game plans are done, roster positions set ... and there will be no second guessing cause it is now locked and loaded.

My routine is to prepare the weekly game plan at the mid week export .... and then after thinking about it over the few days, tweek and modify it before I send in the final.

After this week's midweek, I had a hunch that I would modify the game plans quite a bit. However, I was surprised that I kept true to a lot of my original thoughts. Matt, you definately have the stronger roster ... the question is whether they can they be out foxed. We'll know in a few hours. Good luck. I really enjoyed preparing for this game!

File in... Here comes the pain

In real life any team in Fresnos position, last place with 2 road games to end the season. Good thing it don't matter in the IFL

I usually spend the week formulating things in my head based on what I think I see. then Saturday night or sunday morning put it into the game.
I'm locked and loaded and ready to sim!!

The Vipers have come out of the tunnel and are waiting on the sideline…

Their head coach is pacing up and down the sideline llike a wild man …

now he is going to the head referee …

he is really upset …

and still no sign of the Bulldogs in coming out of the locker room.

just looked over the Norfolk/Newark game and seems that no matter the outcome for Norfolk, it still comes down to week 17 against the Beasts. I could win this week and Norfolk could lose and the division is still dependent on the Week 17 outcome.

Still, this week's matchup is very intriguing.

[Matt]

wow. finished watching my game.
flip over to tulsa v murfreesboro game just as Sanford is throwing a TD pass to give them a 4 pt lead with 40 seconds left.

wow

I think I'm going to cry...

r00k,
amazing game. I thought things weren't going to go our way when Jamison got hurt and started running for negative yards. then Doyle got hurt.

It was a back and forth game throughout. One great moment was when Darrell Logan caught and ran with a 59yd TD. The thought crossed in my head about one of our TE's to be able to do that.....and the next offensive series Quinn Glover goes 70yds for a TD. pretty cool
there was a time in the 2nd half where we fumbled the punt return and norfolk recovered and I thought that was the turning point. A few plays later, Juliio Wheeler ends up with the ball back in his hands.

At the end of the day, I didn't think we'd win this game. Penalites, sacks, fumbles, made me think that it was going to hurt us in the end. Somehow when we got the ball back with 5 mins to go and ended up with a TD to seal it

GG r00k. pleasure to play this game with you

I am a little slower in watching the game. Just finished and I agree totally. When I lose, I want to lose to a team that is better. That happened here. Despite your sacks (that was a surprise) and penalities and fumbles ( I actually had more lost fumbles, damn) , the better team came through. You took over in the 4th and that is what championship teams do. Matt, I gave you my best shot and liked my game plan .... it just was not good enough. Congrats. I wish we had more opportunities to play each other ... well, I guess there could be a long shot chance of that happening again this year. I can only hope. I have a real uphill battle and neeed to focus on WV now. My schedule this year has been brutal ... I will have played all of the div champs in the American Conference ... as well as the two best teams in the National East. Hoping that I can get through to the playoff somewhat healthy.

Again, congrats ... not good game .... great game!

OMG Jeffrey, you really kicked my ass in this one. I know my team is not championship caliber but I didn't think someone could kill me like that. Freeman was plain awfull against his old team.

GG body

Lost my 2 best CBs from my already worst in the league pass defense and my rookie RB who was my greatest interest at the moment. Painful victory against a Hartford team with a very impressive offense talentwise. They could easily pull it together next year and playoff bound.


Norfolk/Newark was amazing as was the Tulsa/Murf ending!! Newark looks very capable of winning the whole thing right now!

[dthompso8]

GG Tulsa..

Heck of a finish... taking the lead with 2 mins left was leaving too much time on the clock.. when you converted the 4th and 9 I knew we were in trouble but allowing a 30 yard TD pass with 40 seconds to go with my CB's is disappointing especially with 17 YAC when in a zone...

GG. I'll have to savor this small victory, since you trounced me twice with your Jets in the NAFL, this season.

Yeah, turnovers were the difference. We really had Freeman's number, for some reason. My secondary does tend to make a lot of QBs look bad, though. We're #1 in passer-rating-against at 69.2!

Just got home from the show an saw I lost, however that was addition by subtraction. I figured I would lose by giving Wingfield another day off, but it was a calculated risk. If I played for the win an started him I ran a good risk of losing him for the entire playoffs. If I rested him and lost, I play Reno for the division championship next week WITH a healthy Wingfield.

Without doing any of the math, I believe it was a win/win with Vancouver going down this week, AND getting Wingfield back healthy. With my fuzzy math, I already sealed up the division championship as I swept the Whales this year so even if I lose next week and end up even with Marc, I have the tiebreaker. If I'm wrong someone correct me.
