2020 Week #12 Discussion

[SteveBsFan]

We are hoping to be at least respectable in our matchup with Houston.

We are hoping to crush you! Houston is on a mission this season after my playoff hopes were crushed last year with a 3 game losing streak to end the season.

I do know one thing, it will probably be a close game. All but 3 of my games this season have been within a TD, including 7 of the last 8. If my offense is great, my defense will find a way to make it close, and if my defense is dominating, for some reason my offense forgets to play. It boggles my mind.

Gonna get our 2nd win against Norfolk this week. : )

Argot ... it would be fitting justice for you to do so after I slandered your team in the pre-season predictions. Cavazos is not fully healed and he will siot out another week ... and we have been playing pretty crappy in these last few weeks ... so take your best shot, this is your time to shine.

P.S. >>> dang, just noticed that the game is rated a "DONT BOTHER" and is the lowest rated game in that category, to boot. I cannot remember ever being in a DONT BOTHER game. I feel like a virgin.

You should have no problems moving the ball against us. We lost out top Safety for the year, and 2 more that won't be playing this week. If it's close, then you need to re-assess your team.

You still have some studs on defense. Two great CB's with some guys up on the line. It was a great time (for me) for Bennetts to be out, but still tough up front.

On offense, Ward always has the potential to dominate, and Bruce will be a monster. Luckily I get to play him when he's a rookie and won't have to see him again until what, 2024?

It should be a good game with a huge impact on the standings for both teams.

I like that 4 out of the 8 divisions have two teams tied for the division lead. The leader has a 2-game lead in 2 divisions, 3-game lead in one division, and we won't even talk about Tulsa! There should be some good division races heading down the final stretch (but hopefully not in the NC west).

Love what you've done with that franchise...but be sure that OAK and SLC will try to lessen that power ranking in the coming weeks. This could get interesting down the stretch in the west and It's hard to sweep your division mates here---might need to check that.


I think we're going to get killed Sunday, but I'm hoping the dice rolls in our favor.

Oh I agree, SLC is making a run and it wouldn't surprise me to see OAK make a late run either. My last 3 games are on the road with WVA sandwiched between you and OAK, so that could spell trouble. I hope that I only need to go 1-2 in that stretch 'cause otherwise things could get dicey.

Which also means I really need to hold serve at home and beat Chicago this week. They've got a solid defense so we can ill afford a letdown.

Back from vacation and need a result over the Pirates today.
A Lawrence and/or Newark win would help us stay in touch too.....

two missed field goals, an interception in the end zone and an interception returned for a touchdown in a 24-21 loss. Just not our day. Good game Salt Lake.

[Hoosier]

We pick up our third win of the season and we're starting our third quarterback. The underrated Upshaw actually looked better than the veteran replacement qb Fogarty.

GG Texas...

[Kozure]

crap and lost bernard strong for a couple games.

[SteveBsFan]

Un fucking real. I had the game in the bag, but blew it. I'm at a loss for words. Completely devastating loss. I'm going to have to go through my game plan with a comb and see why the fuck I can't hold a lead. I must have some settings flawed somewhere because I just handed this game over.

Not to take anything away from the comeback, but we shouldn't have been allowing big plays with such a lead. My guess is I don't have the proper settings to adjust to a more prevent defense towards the end of a game.

Anyway, season is still alive, just a speed bump. Now Norfolk comes to town, so the schedule doesn't get any easier.

[ukpatfan]

Got the win...phew.

See a handful of big name QB's got banged up.
