I am gonna have to disagree Warhawk. I know Vancouver has a loss, but they are definitely a tier 1 team no doubt about it. When you look at the Vancouver/Nebraska game Nebraska won that game with their kicker going 5/5. If he misses one they lose. 14 seconds left in that game and he hits his 5th FG at 32 yards with the game on the line. Now i have one of the best kickers in the league and he hasn't gone 5/5 yet. It was a great game, both are tier 1 teams.

Our litmus test will be the back to back Ketch/Nebraska games coming up. We can talk after those 2 games.

We really have to prove ourselves against the Tigers, who I think we would all agree are borderline tier 1 - 2. They are a very good team despite the score of their game with the Blackshirts. If we lose that game, then I have a hard time considering us a tier one team. It's a must win for Vancouver.

Yea, and honestly that is the only game our kicker has made all of his field goals. So it came at the perfect time. I give Vancouver all the respect in the world and they are definetly one of the top teams. I'm going to have to say the top 3 are Nebraska, Vancouver, and NY-CA in no particular order.

Good luck.

And post some game links up! We all want to see the action as it goes down.


As long as I can make a game of it I will be happy. Do you really think the chemistry will help?



it won't help that much. The differential isn't that relevant.

If you play a team with low chemistry then it can definitely be a factor...but the difference b/t 80 and 70, especially with our defense being virtually 80, will be effectively nil.

This game is huge for us, if we win we pretty much are in the drivers seat as our final test will be week 15 against New Orleans.

The Chicago team in week 11 will be pretty tough, but I don't believe they have the balance or depth to compete with us on either side of the ball. Our team is so deep we aren't even looking for more players. We've got a level 10 LB coming in to help with the sub situation for this game...and after this game a level 12 FS who'll probably play some SS as well.

I've very happy with where our team is personnel wise, and at this point every week save for a couple I'm experimenting with tactics, knowing full well that it doesn't matter if you win by 24 or 54, finishing 16-0 is the only guarantee at a one seed here with the strength of the remaining undefeated teams.

edit: not to mention, a good portion of our defense hasn't boosted yet. Saving it for later




I did think it would help that much. I just hope I dont get blown out by 50 points.

Please, our teams are virtually equal levels.

I am cautious optimistic we'll win, but I'd anticipate something more along the lines of maybe 20 to 10, or 20-13.

"watching" while feeding my kid....

Vegas/Vancouver was an entertaining game through three quarters...good, tough, field position battle.

But, that 4th Q bomb by Van. seems to have put it away.


Hope the rest are entertaining too.

We couldn't finish any drives. We had like 5 drives stall inside Vancouver's 40.
