Congrats on your win over us (Addiction). We are frustrated to be watching another playoffs from the sideline but you guys had a solid game and just murdered us in the 3rd Quarter. Good luck on the rest of the playoffs. Keep the unbeaten streak alive and do Alpha Conference proud.
Go Garudas!!
A great compliment from the best defensive lineman in the league, bar none. Mike Keim was on the top of our "problem list" when we scouted for the game - as he always is. If Forward Lateral ever decides you're too expensive for him, be sure to give me a call.

Algeria Addiction is a great team, and we feel proud and lucky(!) to have found a way to win against them twice in a row. When the Garudas joined this league in Season 3, the Algeria Addiction were a nightmare team for us. After scouting, planning, and adjusting we pretty much concluded that the best we could do was to try and keep the score respectable.

Season 4, the Addiction looked out of reach too, but we thought we had a very small chance to upset if we got lucky. Our defense had made some strides, and we thought if we could keep the score low, we might squeak by.
http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=91475Well, our defensive plan worked, but you showed us that Jack Automatic was the best kicker as he out-dueled Buddy Buttlips hitting 2 of 3 compared to Buttlips shanking both of his shots. Even though I was disappointed to come so close and fail, I was still proud of my team's performance. It meant that if we kept working hard and kept focused as a team that Algeria and the rest of the league's elite were within reach.
You guys have always been gracious opponents both in victory and defeat, and I and the rest of the Garudas salute you. We looked up to your team when we joined here, and hoped that we could compete at the same level eventually. I'm happy that our team is in the same "class" as the Addiction. I'm sure our next game against you will be as exciting as the last three - Algeria are ferocious competitors, and always a riveting game.
