2019 Wild Card Discussion

Good game David ... it was exciting to the end. Good luck as you move forward. Lots of tuff teams but I think you can hang with the best of them.

Good time for a flu outbreak. yay.

[JesterBlaze]

Murfreesboro running it on 3rd and 4 and then 3rd and 5 on the final drive and scoring the TD on the latter was insane!!

Surprised to get the easy win that Matt predicted. Congrats on another good season and division title, Cy!

I feel like I had the right offensive gameplan in for this one. I knew you would scout me a lot and did the opposite that I do normally. We weren't able to score and made a lot of costly mistakes.

I've been beaten by a better team than mine. GG Jester, good luck the rest of the way.

[Matt]

great games guys.
I watched all games at various stages just flipping through solevision.
Congrats to everyone who competed and to the winners.

Can't wait to play Lawrence!!

Great Game Jave. It was a fun (lots of ebb and flow) game to watch. Of course it just had to be Stuart to have the great day and show me how stupid I was (like I didn't already know that). I thought my defense was pretty stout going in but you had great success throwing - I don't know how many 3rd and longs you converted but it seemed like quite a few.
There were a few key plays throughout the game but when it all came down to the end of the game we had a couple of chances and we couldn't convert/your defense was up to the challenge. You have some good young talent on defense to go with Wingfield/Doyle.

Good luck against Tulsa!

Winston Scott had a pretty good year overall - now I'm kind of hoping he'll stick around for his 15th.

Just to follow up on the third down thingy - I think this might have been the difference maker...

Damn I celebrated too fast...Iwc came back with a little over a minute left to beat us a hell of a game. Jacobs did flib it too!! LOL Ah well Im just happy I made it to the play-offs...we should be able to build on this team and make it pretty good so I'm excited about the future. Time to do some trades...Hahahaha

[BuddaKINGII]

Norfolk was sleepin' against Murf...

throwing 3 interceptions in the first half and still winning the game, I wouldn't have thought it to be possible.

We had a terrible first half offensively, but the defense kept us in the game and Anchorage's offense wasn't playing as well as I expected. In the second half Wooley got his act together, settled down and played well, including the late game winning drive.

Not sure if we deserved the win here, but it was always a close game, so anything could happen.

Now off to Portland we go. Definitly need a much better QB performance to have a chance

[BuddaKINGII]

yeah my offense sputtered but it has for the last several games. Tryin to figure it out prolly cuz I quit being aggressive...ah well gg on to next season...good-luck with portland...

GG Norfolk, was expecting to see the same result as week 3 to be honest so very happy to come away with a win especially after going into the 4th quarter 13 points down..

I am a worried about a couple of injuries but better that than the season already over..

[Kobeck]

Mules overcame -3 TOs for the home win. One of the more impressive PO wins for Opie.

Yes I still follow them closer than any other team but Fresno.

Will be tough next week with the starting RB having a high ankle sprain.

Man! You had an outstanding gameplan. I was watching the first half and you just ran up and down the field doing whatever you wanted. I was really sweating it. I couldn't help but laugh everytime Stuart caught a pass...geeze he was really pissed about being passed over! We played just well enough to get the win. Next year could be a whole new story.
