Congrats Mark. I'll try to join you in the AC championship game so you can have the pleasure of beating me on the way to the bowl.

I haven't seen the results but I guess I won. Sweet!!!

An AC championship game match up would be the way I'd like to go out. Good luck in the playoffs.

First: Kozure, my sincerest congrats on the undefeated season ...
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Second: You and Jeffrey will hopefully have to postpone your circle jerk party if I sneak past Wichita in the wild card game.

looks like I should have been playing the rookie T earlier in the season. Will see how the WRs do in the offseason. Warthogs need some DBs that can actually play in the IFL

Oh well good luck too all the teams in the POs. Guess Fresno dropped 4-5 draft slots with the W, but Ill take it every time.

kkiley ... GG ... you have definately put on new face on Hartford ... this year was a continuation of your building project ... and all is looking good. It is easy to anticipate a more scarier team from you next year. See ya then.

[Chris Rex]

We go into the playoffs on merit.

That goes without saying. Good luck!

[Pirates]

Great game, Kurt, though I can't understand how after 20 seasons you've forgotten how to spell "Lawrence"!

Haha, I think after all those losing seasons I blocked it from my mind.

GG Coder.
We won and are hitting stride. Hopefully the injuries we picked up aren't too significant.

i'm updating html now.

First of all GG Jester. It really came down to the wire.

We got a whole zoo of monkey's off our backs with that game.

a- First time in the playoffs since 2005
b- First winning record since 2005
c- Swept Lawerence!!
d- Best rushing performance in a season since 2009
e- First 1000+ yard rushing performance since old man Wesley Connell played

Two things that really stood out for the Pirates.

I thought we missed big back when Jester took Humphries right before us in the draft. We were able to get Nixon a year later and he thumbed his nose at Humphries this season and in this game with 139 yard day for 8.39 yards a carry.

Secondly, Winfred Reilly is truly amazing. I don't know what we would do without him. He finishes as the 7th leading tackler with two missed games and wins the game for us in OT agains Lawerence with a 71 yard pick six. Who thought a 6'4" 267 lbs MLB could run like that?

Can't believe we snuck in this year and I hope we can put up another miracle game come Sunday!!

congrats man.

Regardless of where you play, if you made it to 10 wins in 2021 then you made it to the post-season. If 8-8 division winner Tulsa had 2 more wins then whether or not you made it to 10 would have been decided your fate in it's entirety.

Orlando started off 2-5 but made the post-season. So much for early season "must win game" talk I hear yearly from GMs.

[Pirates]

Yeah but it was stressfull as hell!! The last 4 games were must wins. We also had 4 losses of a TD or less. The first two games we got beat up bad. The gameplan tweaks on O and D took a bit to kick in.

[SteveBsFan]

Got my groove back too late in the season. Maybe next year

[Argot]

heh...almost beat Vancouver...can't wait til next year.

[jley618]

We completely choked away this season. Grrrr.

GG Pennsylvania.

[Suicane]

Got my groove back too late in the season. Maybe next year

Maybe not. :evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:

[SteveBsFan]

Maybe not. :evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:

Don't let that winning record go to your head. You're going down

[markc]

Just got to look at week 17 results - gg Argot.
Looks like I lost the conference tie-breakers with Penn and Law. 13-3 and 12-4 the last two years and I can't get anything higher than a 3rd seed
Oh well, still happy to be in the playoffs.

Congrats Orlando -- I'm not looking forward to playing against the league's best rushing team, and Wilkins, and Reilly, etc.

Also congrats to the undefeated Beasts
