home dog in the POs!!!

[Beeznik]

Good luck to everyone tonight!

[JesterBlaze]

Good luck Beez! I haven't been very into FOF lately so it would be deserving of you to get the W with the hill that Georgia's climbed the past many seasons.

[JesterBlaze]

At 4:58 left in the 1st Quarter the first pass OF THE GAME is completed FOR 1 YARD in the Generals/Phantoms contest!

[JesterBlaze]

Beat up and down the field in every category. Great game, Beeznik! Probably all for the betterment of the IFL. Georgia moves on and I can sit back and decide on the "roll call" peacefully on the IFL sidelines.

Phantoms run at a 3-peat is over quickly in 2024.

ACK

at work and FORGOT about PO stage


oh well fate is sealed!




Well Im really-REALLY glad I at least adjusted my lineups with the midweek export

FWIW game was not as close as score indicates. Cardinals got 14 inside the last minute when the Mules were in prevent

Fresno, after all these years of not making the post-season, now leads the IFL All-Time with a 1.000 win %.

Portland, with the most post-season appearances of All-Time, is 5th worst at .347. Course post-season losses are like ties in hockey and should still be valued as something.

Fresno also set the all time record for points scored in a playoff game with 52.

You're welcome

Wow! Madison with a last-second TD on 4th down to thwart Carolina's upset bid. On a related note - I think Urlacher was worth that high second-round pick!

[Argot]

I feel sick. I don't get it. I guess I should be happy for the winning record and a playoff appearance for the first time in years, but this was just irritating and hollow. GG Boss (said with bitterness in his clenched teeth).

GG Jester. I hope you decide to stick around.

Well, I think I found out what the problem may have been late in the season. I loaded an old gameplan about midway through the season, and while looking into my gameplan this week, I noticed that the players' playing time appeared to be way too low...almost preseason low. So I adjusted those. I'm unsure why the playing times were that low for said gameplan.

It seemed to work, as we played very well. Like I said, we play well as long as we don't kill ourselves with penalties and turnovers. We only had one turnover this game, 7 penalties was too much for my liking. But I'll take it.

[Matt]

great games this week.

congrats to all the teams playing in the post season. it's not easy to get there, and once you do anything can happen.

Not doubting as you probably did your research but I'll have to look to correct my memory on Vito and Tarcone, who I thought were at 59 each...

Urlacher, including but at the same time despite the Bears' great lastname, was on my list and a "failed pick" by my calcs. I thought he was a great pick on the spot!!

The "seasons long" things in FOF come as they come. You *should* enjoy them in the next 3 at least, possibly more.

Coincidental as the one thing I thought of, and would've changed in my gameplan is my starters' percentage... and I also hoped, but could never count on, penalties and takeaways.

Nonetheless, Georgia (yourself) won!!! It is what it is in this IFL game of ours!!! It would feel great if you won it all so I could say that it took the IFL's Champion to knock us out but again... it will be what it will be.
