The West is shaping up, but the big news that I glanced at from the East was the final undefeated team in the East falling to the Aggressors. Great game! Wow. What a league. This is primetime stuff. Huge weekend.

Bullshit kicking lol... Always manage to miss the easy ones... 30 seconds left, 22 yards out, misses a sitter... Forced to overtime where their kicker kicks one 44 with seeming ease..... Oh well, win some ya lose some...

The west is shaping up?

If anything, with the exception of NY-CA at the top, it's getting murkier. I'm reasonably certain that Nebraska, Vancouver, Las Vegas, Ketchikan, and Waterloo could all beat each other.

Wow, just saw that.

Looks like we got lucky, but I'm sure happy about it.

God, if we ever stop kicking field goals in the red zone and start actually punching the ball in, we'll have a ridiculously good offense. We've kicked 8 field goals in the red zone in the last 2 games, and 5 from within the 5 yard line.

Hmm...

Las Vegas can get the 3 seed if Vancouver and Nebraska lose, Las Vegas wins, and Las Vegas scores 360 points more against Oakland than Vancouver scores against Maine.

Good win Ketch


Ken/Vancouver, a bit of a surprise. Good game. See you at the pub. Now where is burlysmurf.

Btw Fireace, as far as i could tell, all your guys played great. I know it was a tough situation having players on both teams. You handled it like the stand up guy you are.

Just make sure you guys score 460 points against Oakland.

I am making you my guarantee that Maine will hold Vancouver to less than 100 points.

Some great games today all over the place.

<Salute> to Ken & the Terminators. Today was a suprise, but I doubt it will slow you down any.

Fixed the scenarios.

It's annoyingly complicated.

What I meant is that with the season coming to an end, the finish line of the playoff race is in sight. The first 5 or 6 spots are filled, but there are a number of teams still well in the hunt for the final positions. There's no longer a season's worth of chances and speculations, so it comes down to the final games.


Edit: Much respect to all members of the NY-CA GroundPounders. If our offense could've put some bigger drives together, it would've been a much different game. Hopefully we'll get the chance to meet again in the postseason (or, in our best interest, you could lose before then. Just a suggestion).

And I've noticed that in the last few days, FireAce has been awfully quiet. He's been a good guy about all of it. Now he can get back to enjoying both of our teams' wins without worry.
