2015 Week #15 Discussion

[Hoosier]

I think it's time to hand the team off to another g.m. I can't get this team over the hump...at all. Perpetual .500 team. Frustrating.

GG Anchorage, GL the rest of the season.

[Argot]

Wow...we can't even beat Oakland.

On a side note off of Hoosier. Some of us are really missing something. LOU got robbed again this week. having it inside the 20 in overtime, getting 3 false starts and an illegal use of hands backing them up to kick a 49 yard FG that missed.

Stuff like this makes you wonder if some teams are just cursed. Then you have Portland with a shell of a team left who is going to the playoffs...you would think cohesion itself would have killed them.


Very, very frustrating.

[tarcone]

I knew it would be tough against Texas. We put them away in the 4th scoring 17.
Stavros had his best game of the year. Strange though, he either gained 13 or lost 4.
Sanford played like the Sanford of old. 20/24 265 yards and 2 TDs. For a nifty 140.4 QB rating.

GG Tim

[JesterBlaze]

GG, Coder. Your young QB put up quite a few yards on us!

Injuries continue to mount for the Phantoms. Post-season is gonna be a different story us than the regular season was.

[JesterBlaze]

"Propane" still leads the league in rushing yards despite playing 9.5 games due to 2 injuries.

[markc]

GG Vito. We got up 2 TDs early and made SLC mostly one-dimensional (at least I guess that's what happened).

Yep

GG Brando,
That was a very tough game with two dangerous offenses airing it out.
Perkins is a difficult QB to rattle and he found his go to guys consistently.....we found it very difficult to contain them, but luckily Diedrich and Robinson showed why they are elite and they carried my team home.
The Outlaws have suddenly found ball security to be an issue and that's something they need to address and quick, but we also grabbed some turnovers to level things out.

I'm more than p*ssed that Tommy Bean blew his knee in trash time.
WTF!

An important win but at a cost.
We're counting on Vancouver to do us a favor next week and we'll see what happens week 17.
If Wichita can win out and Cleveland drop a game (Killer Whales?) then I think the Outlaws can snatch the division thanks to a better record against divisional opponents?

[BOSS]

Good win against LANSING! GG LANSING...

PENN is keeping the pressure on us to keep winning. I sure don't want to be in a must win situation when we head to PENN for the season finale. Hopefully, PORTLAND can handle business this week and beat them for us and we win our game against LA to clinch the division.

Regardless of what happens I'm pretty stoked to have a competitive team once again. This rebuilding has been hard and took longer then what I expected. We're a very young team so the future looks bright especially on defense.

Offense is a work in progress and need an infusion of some more talent at the skilled positions but we have some decent building blocks on the OL and some decent RB's who play above their ratings. Only problem is they cough the rock up too much sometimes for my liking.

Not taking LA lightly this week. Some talent on that team and they are capable of beating us. Glad the game is @ home this week.

Can't say enough on what a surprising rookie season DE J.C. Wayne is having for us. He is 2nd in the league in Hurries (26) and 6th in QBKd (15). You usually don't see them kind of numbers from a rookie. Usually takes them a couple of seasons to get that kind of production. With 6 sacks to boot he is DROY so far IMO.

[GGill]

WOW! What a freaking joke! Besides the BS in the OT, 14 penalties for 105 yards compared to 6 for 40? GG MURF!

Blah. We have completely played below our talent level all season. Looking forward to the draft.

GG Madison.

man that sucks. Hope he comes back 100% next year.

Great game. You caught us playing run in some key spots and just gashed us with your passing attack. I've been waiting for that to happen all year. It's funny to me that the only thing that kept us in the game was forcing turnovers because this whole year, we've been awful at forcing turnovers. We somehow started 11-2 while being something like -9 in the turnover ratio. We'll need some good fortune to win at Vancouver this week.

Come on Boss, do your dirty work yourself

It's gonna be very hard for us. We need to win out against 2 very good teams. We're gonna be at home so I have hope but our play is so streaky this year that I'm not too confident about it.

I thought Cote would be a lot better than that in my offense.

[VitoStallion]

exactly it -- I was hoping to keep it closer there so we could pound the rock

that's the one thing I think we have going for us when we match up and if we can't run...butt hurt



GG

Next season man...course CAR/OAK will be a 'fully operational Death Stars' by then. Well maybe not OAK
