2023 WildCard Playoff Discussion

Good games all around.

Now we get the overconfident Lions. We let them beat us by 40 this season in anticipation of this.

WTF

What a way to lose. Kennedy was terrible and still had a chance at the end.

still stunned the way we lost.

Good luck the rest of the way Cy

That was a crazy end of game Matt. When we weren't able to get the 14 points lead with 5 min and got a FG instead for a 10 points lead I told myself this could be trouble. Then you score a TD in a minute.

We took the ball to the 29 with some nice runs and passes but a missed field goal keep it a 3 points game. You take back the ball and bring it back to the 22. Another missed field goal to finish it.

Crazy game as usual between the 2 of us.

GG Matt and a good season to you.

Nobody's overconfident in our team Tarc. I know this game this season was an anomaly. If only you'd have accepted to trade me Andrews this offseason. Then I'd be confident Damn Chris Andrews.

Just starting to watch the games and as the #1 seed in the NC I look across the board at who's left (still 5 more teams at this point in my viewing season) EVERY team in the NC playoffs can knock us off. I think GEO is the lowest seeded team and they could easily win 4 in a row and take the title.

[JesterBlaze]

Great games all around. Congrats to all.

GEO comes to town on Sunday. Watching today's contests makes me wonder if Louis Whiting is as great as I thought or if he's the beneficiary of the best DE in the IFL. Either way the Generals have finally arrived and are certainly no walkover.

Congrats to all the teams making it to the next round.

ya, it wasn't so much the missed FG that pissed me off. it's that it was a 39 yd FG with 23 seconds left and it's only 3rd down. run another play and try and get some more yards......

terrible way for Butch Schulz to potentially end his career. Too bad

[ukpatfan]

Phew!
That was a grinding game KK and I was sweating in the last two minutes.
With Hartford having a 1st and goal from our 4yd line at the gun, I feared the worst but a dramatic defensive stand secured a narrow win.
I was watching the solevision through my fingers at that point!!
Tough game and we were fortunate.

On to the divisional round and our third consecutive year with a playoff trip to Portland.
Omar Robinson heads into his old haunt and we're hoping he has a huge game.

Regular season walk-through now over, my unbiased opinion is that this is where the results of jave's trades (stopped short before complete disaster) will be revealed. Anything short of an IFL trophy for the Seals and we're left to wonder if a little more talent/cohesion would have gotten it done.

[ukpatfan]

The way Wichita have struggled lately....I am not expecting it to go well in Portland.
Tough place to travel but you've got to be in it to win it I guess.

[Beeznik]

Arrrggh! GG Beeznik and good luck the rest of the way.

GG. Tale of two halves. Offenses played well in the first half, defenses took over in the second half. On to a scary Lawrence opponent. If I can get past Lawrence, anything becomes possible.

Honestly, I think they both MAKE this defense what it is. Wallace is an absolute terror to opposing QBS, but Louis Whiting is a a complete game changer. His INT in this game was huge. I would love to get another stud on the Dline to compliment Wallace this offseason.

The youngsters that I drafted last year have really contributed big time this year. Haas has been great. TE Weibe has been solid, and Durham has started to really pick it up in the second half of the year. We have some guys in the secondary making plays too, which is nice.

[SteveBsFan]

Blah, thought we were going to pull it out again, but some poor defense at key times results in the first one and done for the Renegades in a few years now.

GG Buddah, good luck the rest of the way
