2021 Week #16 Discussion

[Hoosier]

We lose six to three. Defense did it's job, offense...didn't. I guess that means their defense did the job, and their offense did just enough to get by.

We're flirting with .500 again, after such a promising ....teasing.... middle season.

GG Orlando! (I need some wideouts with affinities I think)

[Matt]

I did update. The stat site is down but in game html is updated.

[r00k]

I was right about being tentative about Tulsa ... but was totally surprised by the game itself.


This was a game that should have been won, but turnovers and missed plays on defense beat our heavy advantage in yardage and possession.

GG Tarc ... see that you still have a fight on your hands in your division.

Now I have to win next week for a potential wild card.

That was a really odd game. I am lucky to get the road win here but I am not sure what to take away. GG

We have an outside shot to still make it as a wildcard. If we win against Lawerence and Lansing loses to Pitt next week we make it in by half a game. This will be no easy feat. I am definitely sweating it. We got Lawerence once off the bye but I think Jester is back on track now. Not to mention Lansing has to drop a game. A lot of what ifs here but Orlando would love another shot at the playoffs. It has been way too long.

[Beeznik]

My last 2 games have been total defensive domination. It's crazy considering how we were giving up about 400 yards a game earlier this year.

GG Lansing

My defense has been the same way this year. We just got through a clip of giving up 400+ yds a game, yet give up under 200 this one. Just crazy.

[JesterBlaze]

Is jeffrey around? Bauer didn't start.

It didn't look good when Portland's 1st 2 offensive plays were an 80 yard TD to Brady Myers and a 49 yard deep pass to Brady Myers, but the Phantom defense settled in and picked off the rookie 4 times and brought him down for 4 sacks in holding the Seals to 3 points the rest of the way. Obviously this game would have been different with Bauer in there but I'll take the W.

Tulsa, pronounced dead weeks ago, would be as scary as ever in the post-season where the slate is wiped clean.

[CyYoung]

Well, we played a good game and moved the ball well, but it wasn't enough against Wichita. We clinched the division and we can play for a 1st round bye. We'll play the starters in week 17.

GG to Wichita and good luck getting in the playoffs next week.

We're locked in at the #2 seed, Jester, so I'm protecting guys at this point. Omar Robinson didn't play either.

I wanted to get a look at the rookie again, and I don't like what I've seen so far. I guess I'll get Doesburg some playing time next week.

[JesterBlaze]

Ahhh. Didn't notice the AC seeding. FYI Robinson had 7 targets so he's in on some setting or something.

[markc]

GG Voodoo. We had a great running game this week - 272 yards! Weird, got a TD kickoff return last week, then gave up one this week.

I think VAN is in the 2-3 AC seed position. LAW has a better conference record so we can't get #1, and PEN can beat us out for #2. I would love to have that 1st round bye so we'll be playing most if not all of our starters for the Reno game - I may set McNeil's playing time pretty low though.

looks like 6 of the 8 divisions are locked up but the AC North and NC South will have a crazy finish, should be fun to watch.

GG Lions,
That was a well contested game between two pretty evenly matched teams.
I thought it was gonna end badly when your guys tied it up at the death forcing OT, but we pinched it and keep our playoff hopes alive.
We now have it all to play for as we face Montreal with the winner taking the division.

[Argot]

Is this season over yet??? I am really concerned about Wesley May...His passer rating is abysmal...Granted his recieving corps is a bit suspect but really...He was supposed to be the chosen one.

[Beeznik]

Happy to beat a quality team. We are in need of some serious help to win the division. Im talking about a huge upset by Texas and us pulling out a win against LR. Doubtful.

I wouldn't doubt anything when it comes to us. We have had a very inconsistent year. If you look at our schedule, we have had four games that were close. The rest we have either beaten our opponent outright or been handled. We could very easily lose to Texas if we have one of those turnover/penalty ridden games we've been used to this year.

Get some receivers, and when he's fully developed, he'll be fine.

gg... glad to see my team coming around, when I'm eliminated. Wonderful.

GG Lansing

We have been pretty bad the last few games. With a win or Orlando loss, we make the playoffs as a wild card.
