late getting this up. My daughter has bball tryouts for Ontario.

AND

today did all Ontario track meet...which is equivalent to state finals. she finished 5th in the province and had some coaches recruiting her. pretty neat

[Argot]

The game in Hartford has major playoff implications.

[markc]

I could miss the playoffs if I lose my last two games - (LAW and ORL could both finish 12-4 and be the wildcards). I think a win this week against WVA will guarantee the Whales at least a wildcard - I think.

I guess HOU could actually beat out MUR for the AC South if they win 2 and MUR loses 2 - the only division that isn't decided in the AC. We have 2 still up for grabs in the NC.

[Kobeck]

yep

Mules gotta Win to play at home even once

[Beeznik]

Garbage. This year has become pure garbage. 11 penalties, 4 turnovers. Enough said. Giving up a 1 yard touchdown drive and a 0 yard touchdown drive. F this game, for real.

[Matt]

We turned the ball over like crazy. Castillo was terrible coughing it up 3 times.
then you add 10 penalties. this all equates to a loss no matter how you spread the butter.

lost WR Jeremy Satre for 6 weeks. Hopefully we are still playing when he's ready to make an appearance.

GG and great win for you guys

[Matt]

and what about that game between Lawrence and London. shoot out!!!

[Hoosier]

We beat the Toads in a close matchup. Our offensive gameplan was simple: handoff to Mallard. I didn't think Little Rock could stop the run game.

We've won six straight to go 8-7, and we're 4-1 in our division with the season ender against Fresno next week.

We're shooting for 9-7... our first winning season in eleven seasons when we went..9-7. Dare we hope for a win and a shot at a WC? probably not.

GG Little Rock.

[ukpatfan]

Hugely exciting MNF game between the Phantoms and Monarchs.

GG Jester, congrats on the win.
I'm disappointed to lose but I'm confident we can live with the best after watching that game.
For me the turning point came deep into the 3rd qtr...London go up 34 -17 with 15mins left but Lawrence ran back a 96yd KO return to keep just within reach.
A couple of garbage time TD's skewed the score in the end.
It'd be cool to meet again in the Championship game. Fingers crossed.


QB Ouellette set some notable new records during the game:

Ouellette 12 games with 300 yards or more passing

Ouellette 5511yds passing in a season
(Can he reach 6000yds in the final game?)

[JesterBlaze]

GG ukp. I turned off Solovision when we went down 34-17... noticed the win on the Standings and rewatched until the end. I think I see the blueprint to beating London, and it's the same as Tulsa in the "Tulsa years", and Lawrence in the QB-WR-WR years, if I'm correct. "Defense was familiar" was the key to this game... and a strange "go for it" on 4th and 16 from London 12 while only down by 4 and roughly 4 mins left. Monarchs recovered 3 fumbles or it might've been closer early on.

Phantoms continue to absolutely suck at 2 mins of 1st half... 27 points given up in last 2 games.

HUGE game between Lawrence and Orlando in week 16. Two 11-4 teams fighting for their lives! Loser may be sitting at 11-5 on their couch for the playoffs. Never see that in the IFL AC.

[JesterBlaze]

Lester Kevorkian, Phantoms 1st round pick K, isn't doing it on FG's (missed 3 today at reasonable yardage) but is giving us the field position on KO's which is the main reason for drafting him.

[markc]

Well, one one hand we clinch our 5th straight division championship - which is pretty cool. But part of me was looking forward to a big game for all the marbles against Carolina next week.

[VitoStallion]

This is probably the best SLC defense EVER
unfortunately, this season featured the WORST offense I've ever fielded.

craps

Congrats Mark. Can't really win when you put the ball on the ground 5 times and turn it over 3. Hartford just outplayed us. While I was glad to see us keep them out of the endzone for the most part, our kickoff coverage gave them great field position all game.

PPbbbttt!!!! Really need a safety next year and a clutch WR in the draft of FA.
