Snow, rain and cold = awesomeness

Will the flu play a factor?
None of the big dogs have the flu, so Im hoping not.

[Matt]

Love the weather in Newark for this playoff tilt.

This is our chance to avenge our loss(s) to LAW this year. I was waiting for this game.

[tarcone]

Jave, dont let that 41-10 beat down this season get in your head.

[JesterBlaze]

I would love to be responsible for all of the 3 in Newark's 14-3 2019 record! If this season's schedule/record is a preview of the post-season then the IFL better be rooting for the Phantoms this week seeing as how Newark's undefeated against the rest of the league.

Very tough to beat a team 3 times in 1 season but honestly I have to feel like the NC's best based on the head-to-head during the season thus far.

[Matt]

I feel soooo confident this year. You did get me 2 times this year however this is OUR year

[tarcone]

You guys are funny. I guess Tulsa and Oakland should just stay home.

1 game at a time



Bulldog hysteria is running through the entire eastern time zone

Jave, dont let that 41-10 beat down this season get in your head.

Haha, I was psyched to see half your team get the flu, or whatever the fuck influenza is, until I noticed it skipped all your key players

There is no secret gameplan to beating you. I just have to play solid ball and hope for a few key breaks. Starting my gameplan now.

[Matt]

oooo man. this game ain't starting off good at all

[Kozure]

congrats mules. you kicked our ass today. We were outplayed in every area. Just couldn't keep up. crap

Wow!
still don't know how we won this game. lucky much?

gg Jester. we couldn't stop you at all but scored on some big plays. huge long TD from Lucas, then Bringham recovers a fumble for a TD. amazing

[Matt]

still super geeked about this win.
glanced over at the other games

-Portland wins, but loses their QB. Hello Jay Caro?
-WVA got upset by MUR. WoWzer's! Looks like Opie is trying to get that championship
-Oakland upsets Tulsa. wasn't expecting this one.
