I'm glad my bye comes on a double-game week. Can IWC pull off a huge upset in a cold London rain?

[ukpatfan]

A wet, drizzly London awaits Iowa City.
Sidewinder's team always plays tough and with Robinson out this is a real trap game.
The Monarchs need Vinny Graham and Hunter Stills to step up when it matters.

We dominated Tulsa all game, and all of the sudden they rack up 200 yards in 10 minutes in the fourth quarter and almost make it a game, a lot of it with their backup QB.....ugh, this team has serious late game issues.

[Beeznik]

I've got a question, because I am trying to figure this out. We had 3 long passes all game, yet on the last one the defense was 'very familiar' to it. WTF. Ever since the Orlando game I have been trying to get this thing settled, does anyone know how the hell the defense would be very familiar with my 3rd throw long? Just a bad dice roll?

[Kobeck]

I honestly dont know.

I do know that if the QB has limited formations you can see that real early in a game like 2Q early.

He has 13, and limited or not, on three throws it shouldn't matter.

[VitoStallion]

That means the other gm gameplanned very well

It took me a while too get Schwartz where those messages only appreared rarely.

And I agree 13 formations is a lot.

Mistake I was making with Schwartz, and his lower formations, was I was not using them all on like 1st and 10 so that made those plays come from a smaller subset of his alreadly low number of formations.

Ohh I like that option!!!

Sanford needs to retire. Starts the game 0/10.
The run was fun. But the end is here,

[ukpatfan]

GG Lukas,
Rocking game at Wembley Stadium.
Iowa City played us hard but Stills and Graham both stepped in to fill the void left by Robinson's absence.

Stills had the best game of his career catching every pass thrown his way for 205yds and a TD.
Graham was just shy of a 100yd rushing game and took in two TD's.

The Snipe Hunters banged us around though...even our kicker got crocked!
Sad news as LB Bryan Eddleman suffered a career ending hip injury bringing to an end a fine 10 year career.
He'll be missed but now Donnie Edmonds has a chance to shine.

London go into the bye at 9-0 with several players league leaders at their position.
QB Ouellette, WR's Diedrich and Robinson, DE Everett are playing through the roof at the moment.
Hopefully London can regroup over the bye and keep this momentum going down the stretch.

the comeback from Tulsa likely attributed to Sanford's hidden "come from behind" rating. He is the all time leader in 4th qtr comebacks, and if I recall that increases the opportunity for more to have happen.

another thing to consider is your defensive scheme usage. you will not get familiar messages, however the offense will execute more if you play the same scheme all game.

as for your offensive familiar message, it's a dice roll based on the formations used in the game. He might know 13 formations, but if you run the same formation all the time, i think that increases the chances of getting a familiar message.

just my $0.02

We got up early and never looked back. Turnovers just killed you guys today. game probably would have been a whole lot different if your young kids didn't turn it over quite so much.
