Whalers 3rd?!? Is this Bizzaro World?

[JesterBlaze]

Scouting the Matadors is like looking in a mirror. I didn't realize how similar that team from the AC West was. Gonna be a fun game.

[BuddaKINGII]

crap we are gonna get smashed! whats up with my schedule...we could easily be 1-3 and here I was hoping for 3-0 to get a start on my division. not gonna happen, maybe they will falter lol

[Kobeck]

Warthogs have no hope

lol
you're favored to win this game! Don't forget that you're at home for this one. It's going to be a hell of a fun game though. really looking forward to this one.

Well, I didn't get the stud players on our roster the extended pt in preseason, nor did I get to experiment with gameplans due to the injuries, so... with that little caveat aside,

it's time for some football. Lawrence presents a problem...it's hard to cover a Phantom on a pass route..one minute they are there, the next ..they're gone. Phantom's have that disappearing thing down to a t. And their defensive line is problematic...why fight through a block when you can just walk through walls?

Damn Phantoms... and when they get all excited, they leave ectoplasm all over the football...


We really don't have a ghost of a chance...

[Pirates]

No pressure Portland. If you lose I am thinking you will plummet in the Power Rankings.

[Mike17]

I'm still mad about losing to Wichita in week 1. I'll be taking out my frustration on Dakota this week. I'll be trying to drop 50 points and injure Brady Myers.

Strickland is gonna be dragging his nuts across your boys facemasks all game long.

[VitoStallion]

Lose by 3 to the div champs only to get another dance with a solid defense. Good job on that defensive build son

Hope you got yo' popcorn ready

[Suicane]

Really can't afford to start the year 0-2 at home so I guess I gotta baton down the hatches and prepare to put a clubbering on some blubbering.

[tarcone]

GOING TO CHI-TOWN!!!!!!!

Look out Rush Street! Here come the Tigerhawks!

Sure you can...it'll just make your late-season comeback all the more sweet!
Rex Richard peformed pretty well at home, but on the road against STL defense will be a tough test. I fully expect to face Jay Caro.
