Week 15: Chesapeake (7-6) at Dodge City (8-5)
Huge game for us – we intend to try to beat Dodge City at their own game, and we will try to hammer our running backs right at them, and try to win this thing without relying on our spastic passing game that much. Not usualy my style, but I can’t take another game like last week where we do so many things well and watch a horrid effort from the air game kill us.

Odd game, really. We weren’t able to run the ball very well against them, and we lost the turnobver battle. But we did frustrate their passing game through most of the game, and their results for this week look a lot like our from last week.
It’s a closer game that it seems – we were up 17-16 late when their “last gasp” effort failed, and they gave us the ball at their one yard line for the final TD to put it away. We are very, very lucky to get away with the win here, by any reckoning.

So – we currently lose out to Norwich for the final wild card slot, due to their head-to-head win. So, we need to keep things rolling now – last two games are at home, so we have a shot to get in, especially with two wins.
Portland is our final game – and they are clearly playing well. South Carolina has just suffered some serious injuries, and might be reeling a bit – but they’d have to drop both their remaining games for us to catch them, which seems unlikely. I think we are simply playing for the last wild card spot – and it looks like a 3-way race from here to me. In all likelihood, there will be a 9-7 or even 10-6 team sitting at home watching the 8-8 NC West champion get a home playoff game. So it goes.
