D-oh! Wrong stage!

Despite outgaining Tulsa we fumbled five times and K Jeffrey McNeil was 0-for-3 on field goals. I'm at a loss finding out what's wrong with the running game, it's been eight weeks since someone ran for more than 70 yards. The bright side of it is that Gilson played quite well.

It never fails, with Vegas in the throws of a difficult playoff run and the QB goes down. Unfortunately, this appears to be a potential career ender. I was afraid of something like this when I saw the final score early, no offense Shooter, but I expected a fairly solid win, even with the injuries we had going in. But with Palmer blowing out his elbow and our #1 receiver getting hurt, it kept the game close. We were one Olsen away from a victory.

I guess we get to bang some of the rust off of Olsen and see what he has left in the tank, as we pack it in and focus on working a deal for an early QB selection next year.

gg Shooter, I still find it funny that it was only a 4 point difference in the end. What happened to San Antonio this year?

BTW, your O-line played a damn good game. I blitzed more than usual (or so the gameplan was set to) in hopes of getting some penetration but to no avail. Game balls and Isotoners for all of 'em.

GG Charlston, total domination. I have never lost like that. The score was not indicative of the royal beatdown you gave us.

_________________

I was sure that El Paso was going to engineer a game winning drive with how many 20+ yard passes they had all game, but it just didn't happen.

Happy to get a win and I'm 2 games ahead of the other WC teams right now so that feels pretty good. I'm still mathematically (but not realistically) in the division race too.

_________________

We were fortunate to be tied after 3 quarters - it seemed like Denver held the ball the whole time. But in the 4th we caught a few breaks and came out with the win. Good game, Marven, and sorry about Garibaldi. I'm glad that he'll only miss one week.

another ugly win for the scrappy Brooklyn Tigers. Guess what? We stand at 7-6!!!! Baildog, Cheesehead. . .quick take a picture of me with my CFL team!


GG Texas, I wanted to blitz your qb a lot more than I usually do and I brought the safety. It paid off with three interceptions and three sacks, one coming from the safety.

Offensively, our qb is in a funk. His numbers are pretty bad the past two games. Let's hope he can pull out of it and give me at least one more win for the Tigers!

P.S. No one in our division has a losing record this season! ([size=995fb499]so far) [/size95fb499] Go Yankee!

We tried to give this game away early with 3 turnovers in our own end. Our defense played solid shutting down the Vegas run game and Broderick went down in the first half. Poole was a late 4th injury.

We stayed committed to the run and were able to break some big runs off against your blitzes, so I'm guessing the blitzing hurt more than helped. Sorry about Palmer, I've been down the road of building a young QB only to watch him lost to a career ending injury. [player]Eddie Crawford[/player] comes to mind.

Another game we're not even in.

Our injury list is just sick. Not a chance we win another game all season.

We tried to ice this one away by forcing turnovers early (all 4 fumbles in the game were forced).

Poole's injury was significant as he and Lang can be the difference in a 4-point game on a final possession.

The Vegas run defense is horrid regardless of the blitzing (trust me, we've been a sieve blitzing and not blitzing) but there was no way I thought we could get past this line with only our front four, especially with Ah Yat on the shelf. I was actually imressed by our run defense. Even with the blitzing the Stingers averaged under 4 yards per carry. I'll take that against that level of backfield any day. We're much worse than a sub-4 ypc run defense. The blitzing was more effective than not blitzing, as both sacks came from a linebacker and a safety. The real story was the rest of the pass rush, which was a dismal 2 hurries (1 from each DE). That is why the O-line deserves a game ball. A little more pressure on the Stinger QB and this is a different outcome, even with Palmer out of the game.

This one hurt a little more than Crawford since this is a 6 year project down the tubes with no other young QB's (good ones anyway) selected. However, it's not quite as bad as the double-dinger suffered by the Stingers during that same time frame.

Dammit. Our running game has been struggling the past few weeks, and it hurt us today. At least Durham took care of Denver for us, but a two game cushion would have been REALLY nice.

Good game, wade.

So close, but yet so far. I feel like the Baltimore Ravens. You knew that [player]Kent Goodwin[/player] was going to beat you. It was an inevitabilty. But to be winning and have the ball with less than 5 minutes left. It was heartbreaking for the Pride.

GG, Fonz.

[player]Austin Philyaw[/player] has stepped up with 3 straight 100+ yard games since Lin has been hurt. He crossed the 1,000 yard mark on the season with 149 and a TD on 27 carries today in our win over Albany. The running game helped us control the clock and keep Fisk and co. off the field.

We now only need 1 win or a Seattle loss to clinch the division, though the good news is matched with news Lin's healing is going slow enough that his slim hopes for making it back at all this year are pretty much gone at this point.

Likewise, RH. After that first quarter I knew we were going to be in for a long game. One has to be pretty well resigned to losing when, as the home team, we commited 5 penalties for 50 yards in the first quarter (2 of which surrendered 1st downs on a drive we had stopped, ultimately resulting in a TD for Shreveport) as well as had a punt blocked deep in our territory (which also resulted in a TD). Mix in [player]Burt Liszkiewicz[/player]'s 66-yd scamper during the 2-minute drill to end the 1st half and I figured this one was over. To have [player]Kent Goodwin[/player] pull it in the 4th quarter out was very, very unexpected.

I was stunned by [player]Carl Bradford[/player]'s performance today. Coming into this game he had really struggled with the deep ball (19% completion of deep passes for an average of 4.86 yards per attempt). The strength of our defense has been defending the deep ball with a pretty talented secondary (coming into this game allowing 17% completions and just 5.22 yards per attempt). So what happened in our game? Bradford completed 21/29 passes for 260 yards. Hidden in there is this astonishing stat: he was 7/11 for 160 yards on deep passes today, and watching the game in solevision revealed that he wasn't having cheap success against defensive run expectations either. He was often throwing into the strength of our defense, against the right defensive calls, often into double coverage, and he pounded us for 63% completions and 14.5 ypa.

Damn. That's impressive on Bradford's part, but also extraordinarily frustrating from a defensive gameplanning perspective. By pretty much every way of slicing it we should've won that battle hands down and probably snagged several interceptions. We didn't, and those guys in the secondary are going to be doing a lot of windsprints this week for their lousy performance. gg RH!

man this game wears me down... for those of you closer to FOFC and Jim you might suggest he try and make the penalties and injuries make sense...

lost my qb for 5 weeks with a separated shoulder that he sustained on a run play...bogus...just take him out on a pass play instead so it isnt so damn silly...reminds me of another league where i lost a qb for a season on a false start play...if it only made sense it would be tolerable...

at least the good news is our backup is probably starter material in this league so we should survive okay...

Well good game Taco. We had our hands full when we went to your house and the big dog bit. Our back up QB couldn't keep his hands on the ball and it goes to show that he is not clutch. When the game mattered most he choked. Good luck the rest of the year and into the playoffs. I'm glad Garibaldi is out only one week.

I know that is frustrating. Fortunately for us Hoffman had a good game, but our injury list is pretty bad as well. And we get to play Shreveport, Tucson, and New Orleans, so I doubt we are going to win another game all season either.

Well the two or three week experiment of having [player]Johnnie Diaz[/player] return punts has come to an end. He fumbled twice on punt returns, losing one. He also fumbled after a catch, losing that one, too. Those two fumble recoveries turned into short field touchdown drives of 42 and 28 yards for Boise. Turnovers are often the difference in winning and losing, and this one was no different.
