[Matt]

Well here we are with a gigantic game against Orlando.
"the streak" is on the line and if ever Orlando should beat us, now is the time. Great young team that's turned the corner. Glad to see that the Pirates are having success.

A NC Championship game rematch this week in Vancouver. I'm still kicking myself for not picking Bill Willis with my 27th pick, but course the main thing is to try and stop Andrews. GL Tarc.

[SteveBsFan]

Sweet, game of the week yet Denning still hasn't healed from his hamstring injury that apparently is going to kill him. Should I play him or not? Tough decision.

i don't know why you haven't been playing him. his healing is random and his condition cannot worsen. there's no reason you shouldn't be playing him.

[Suicane]

If he dies, he dies.

I told him via PM that I thought you were joking when you said this last time. As far as I *think* there are multiple stages to hamstring injuries in FOF: strained and pulled being two of them. Right now Beans' guy (and my own SLB) are just strained with the risk of being pulled. Or am I wrong on the workings of FOF in this area?

I've been sitting guys with hamstring injuries until 100% health since IFL 2003.

I ALWAYS play my guys with Hammy injuries. I've never once had someone get hurt worse/again. Not to say it won't happen, but has never happened to me.

Just my 2 cents. Guess it depends on how desparate you need to win.

[ukpatfan]

Being from the Jesterblaze coaching tree I always thought strained hammys could become pulled too.
I don't know that for a fact.......but a pulled hamstring can easily be the end of a guys season. Is it worth the risk?
Personally, I'd avoid playing the guy unless it was a must win game.

[Matt]

Look who's back!!!

[Matt]

Good game kurt. I was sorta rooting for your guys in this one early. I don't know what it is, but we have some sort of spell over your team.

GL the rest of the way.

[ukpatfan]

Goddamit.
We stand toe to toe with the Beasts, scores tied 10 - 10.
Diedrich hauls in a long pass only to fumble at midfield and WVA return the fumble for a go ahead TD.

We key on their passing attack virtually all game, are in the correct D most of the time but does that stop Markel?
Nope, he just keeps slotting passes thru the double coverage into Strong all day long.
We also lose our top CB for the game, our FB breaks his ankle and it looks like we're out of the playoff running already!

Oh well, at least we'll have a high draft pick.........wait!!
Arrgggh!!!

GG, WVA.
Not sure if you are still under a human GM but if so, congrats on the win.
