I think he was drooling over the passing numbers I gave up the first few games. . .[/quote]

Sorry about that

The beat continues in Wichita. Another 3 INT performance overcome for a victory. The defense bends but just doesnt seem to break. WVA next week in the battle of the unbeatens. Expect to see 4-1 at that point. Thats where the rubber meets the road.

Another loss and no matter what I can't run effectively anymore. What makes so bad is that I used a game plan from last season which was run heavy and I STILL pass it 31 times (???).

Good game Tulsa...I'm beginning to think that 8-8 won't be so bad at least I get a higher first rounder

Hey at least Booker has matured

I think the passing came because you got down early. It seemed once I was up 14-0 your coach got a little flustered. Playing down all game makes teams tend to pass more to catch up.

I was scared Tart was gonna tear me up when he busted that 20 yard run early. Especially given that the run D last game was poor. But we held him down. I think a lot of it had to do with seizing an early lead and keeping it.

Good game, had me scared, especially when you nailed that long TD towards the end...

I will update the sports page in the morning. Have it started but I am going to get some rest in. My stomach is crappy, I'm a little sleepy, and I think I strained a muscle working out today.....great day, atleast teh Toadies won...

Another 2 point loss. Son of a Bitch!

Well, at least my Kicker was perfect.

Beamer had a good game 24 for 104, 4.3 y/c, 1 TD

Kroll gave up two ints, I'd have to say he's the leak in my O. I know, Sov told me so about 8 weeks ago.

My D was bad, although my gameplan mostly held up. . 3.9 yards per carry by Boston isn't so bad considering my past experiences. Only problem is my more run oriented D approach is cutting down on interceptions.

All-in-all, this sucks ass. I bet Hack has a few more choice words for Kroll again this week.

tried to switch it up...

My experiment failed, well sorta. I tried to sneak in a pass attack figuring Hartford was going to load the line up, Latham proved he can't hold down a passing attack. The game was wild with my team turning the ball over 5 times! How about the 10 million dollar man though, a sack and a 98 yard td...money will spent

[Kobeck]

Anchorage DL stiffeled the Mules OL. Only two KRB's for the Mules and like 15 or so for Anchorage. Tone for the day was set on the opening posessions. Anchorage fumbled the opening KO away and Mules could not punch in a TD and only got 3 while Anchorage crushed Murfreesboro on their ensuing posession for a lead they would never loose.


Good game Lynx

You just got one helluva a lucky break at the end. If we play that game again, I bet I win. This is just a tough loss to handle, the first couple of games, no problem, got my ass handed to me. This one, I do everything right and still come up short...

[MrBigglesworth]

My QB has gotten worse each game. Today I had ten yards passing -- TEN -- with 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.

Rodriguez is playing like he's possessed though.

Dola

The left side of your line combined with center is 27-52 in key run blocking opportunities. Pretty damn good.

It was a crazy game all around. Let's not forget I am playing without two star OL who are hurt plus my team fumbled and threw and INT going into the endzone. There were many calls and turnovers that made this game a weird one. Glad to have come out on top but surely you didn't face the true Clawz either.....

That is a bit skewed. He had two long carries, one a 72 yarder and I believe a 52 yarder, which pissed me off.

I see your argument, but it's one that I hardly understand or believe. Some NFL backs are of the sorts where they are just waiting to break 1, 2, maybe 3 long ones. Robert Smith comes to mind. Now I'm not saying that Rodrigez is defintely that kind of back, but run defense is all about containment. If you hold a guy to 2.5 yards per carry for 3 quarters and then manage to lose the game because you let a guy bust one for 80+ yards I don't think you can make that big of an argument on how good your run defense was. For three quarters, sure, but overall your team wouldn't have gotten the job done and the runningback should get credit where credit is due. Stats are stats and, to me, that's the bottom line.


Wow, that got long. Sign me up for the Rodrigez fanboy club.
