Our yearly trip to Portland and it's looking as huge a task as ever.
Gotta hope my two ex Portland stars step up and make some game changing plays.
GL Jave, I have a feeling it's gonna be wild!

[Beeznik]

Oh, here we go...

We are going to need things to go our way if we're to come out on top in this one. We can't have the penalties we were getting all year and we NEED to win the turnover battle.

This game features two teams that were statistically great this year. LAwrence had the #1 offense and the #2 defense. While we had the #3 offense and the #1 defense. On paper, it seems like it should be a close game...on paper.

Good luck Jester!

[JesterBlaze]

Good luck, Beez. This one is coming up fast for me. Hope to get an export in later tonight.

[tarcone]

Well, The Lions again. I hope we perform a little better this game then the last time. We play very well at home, so that is a bonus.
Sanford has to play well. If this is the end of his great career, I hope he makes a John Elway type exit.

Good luck, Anchorage! Jared Meadows has been working with our defense all week. Hopefully that makes his big bonus worthwhile.

If Terrell "Propane" Davis didn't get injured on me then I liked Amos' chances of pulling an Elway and bringing home the repeat trophy late in his career.

[BuddaKINGII]

GL Brando! I'm expecting another shoot-out, so hopefully we can get lucky and win!

[JesterBlaze]

Matt Sanford now has the most wins and most 4th Q Comebacks in IFL History.

[tarcone]

Whew. That was intense.
We overcome a -3 turnover margin and 4 dropped passes. Good thing it was at home.
That was a classic Pennsylvania/Tulsa game. One for the ages.
Sugar rushes for 140 yards and a TD. And added 64 yards receiving. Great day.
Andrews adds 107 yards receiving and 1 TD.
Sanford had a nice day despite 2 picks.

Sanford adds 1 win and 1 4th quarter comeback to his records.

GG Cleveland! I knew we were in trouble when we were getting those early field-goals. We needed TDs instead. I thought we might mount a comeback but never did. Gl the rest of the way...

hmm I wonder if Jacobs will come back for one more season. If he doesn't we could be pretty awful.

[Jave]

WOW, that was one impressive defensive performance! And Bauer throws ONE FUCKING PASS and goes down for the year leaving my rookie to carry the load in a playoff game. That Oakland "luck" followed me here today. Great game patfan. That was one damn fine defensive gameplan. Holy christ I need a runningback next year haha.

Good game! We were pretty lucky to hold you to those four field goals in the first half. If you punch one of those in, it's a completely different game.

Given Perkins still had a bum knee, I was hoping we'd be able to get things done on the ground, but it took a while to work. Big game for our rookie UDFA RB Vincent Bronson (16 carries, 108 yards, 2 TDs).

Now it's Wichita for the third time this year. Diedrich's triceps injury affecting his play may be our best hope for winning this.

GG Jave.
My team played well but losing Bauer obviously had a huge effect on the course of the game and it was a massive stroke of luck for the Outlaws.
With Bauer in there I gave us something like a 10% chance of pulling out the win.
Just goes to show that anything can happen in the playoffs.
Glad he's not crocked for too long for ya.

I was real pleased with my two ex Seals.
Both had big games and effected the outcome.

On to the conference final against the Clawz.
Brando has his team on a great run.
A road trip against division rivals is always very tough and it should be a good game with a huge prize at the end.

Our defense played well but the O wasn't able to get the 7 points. It was a crazy game as you said. Another classic. To bad we weren't on the right side of the score.

Good game and good luck Tarc
