Okay – we get to our halfway point at 6-2, and it’s a weird season. We have injuries piling up literally everywhere. Somehow my injury settings got moved back to 150 again – I don’t know how this works, but it’s pissing me off now.
At the 8-game mark, we also have WR Sammie Newman sitting on 1,051 yards receiving on 90 targets, which is really great. Meanwhile, Jerry Reeves, healthy all year, rated 50/50, and with a 68 in route running, has managed only 43 targets. He’s only been in on 170 pass plays to 223 for Newman, but the bottom line is Newman is just leaps and bounds better, for reasons that are not obvious to me.
Statistically, we still don’t look like much of a team – pretty good offense, really bad defense still. Well, we technically are down to 7.0 yards per pass attempt – I guess that’s progress.
Se, we shoot toward the playoffs with a tight division race that comes down to our last home game – where we lose and end up as a wild card rather than a bye week team.

Easily Bert Mayhem’s best season, if for not other reason than 12 picks rather than 22. Sammie Newman cools off, but still stays over 100 yards a game on average. And that was a pretty solid season from SS Bobby Hutchins – maybe the best season from any of our defensive players (ignoring raw tackle totals, that is).
In the playoffs… Good Bert wins out first one leading two fourth quarter TD drives and ending the day with 2/0. But Yates gets the best of us once again (third time this year) as they win 33-21, keeping Bad Bert to 2/3 on the day.
WR Sammie Newman is a first team honoree for the second time in his career, and is joined on the list by second teamers LT Bryan Clemons, K Joel Bass (!), and strongman Lance Ramos.
Our best season so far – 10 wins is solid, but this still does not have the feel of a team that has any shot to win it all.
