Thanks QuikSand
Preseason
@ Colts: WIN 23 - 17: Kolb has a average outing in his bid to win the back up job,
throwing a TD and an INT; Dixon is injured
Vikings: LOSS 13 - 20: Kolb throws for 200 yards but isn't all that impressive.
We sign Rookie RCB Jameson Kosteva 22/34 after starter Gilmore is injured
Also sign TE Henry Russell 24/31 after Buckley is injured and release SE Urpsis
@ Redskins: WIN 15 - 10: RB Monroe runs well and Dixon goes 13/21 without any
picks or TD's. Manuel is sharp as a starter.
QB Yepremian is cut after a dramatic drop in rating to 10/20.
QB Zelch is now at 14/42 and will be our 4th QB.
We sign R RCB Jonathan Brown 20/39 to have a look.
Lions: LOSS 14 - 17: A close game where Kolb wins the back up job
going 21/29 for 200 but is out for 7 weeks with a pulled calf muscle
handing Dixon the job.
Manuel, Alonso and Spiller are inactive to avoid injury.
Regular Season
Patriots: WIN 19- 16:
In an a game where the Pats were stronger Spiller runs for 80 yards
and Manuel goes 19/25 for 272 and 1 INT. The difference are two lost
fumbles by the Pats. We'll take the win!
Injuries:
We lose our starting rookie C for 4 weeks and will replace him
with our other rookie C.
Starting NT Dareus out 2 weeks
Panthers:WIN 17 - 13
An odd game. We are dominated in total yardage 477 to 178. They go
to the red zone 4 times to our 0. They outrun us 207 to 43, get 24
first downs to our 7 and lose 1 fumble to our 1 and dominate possession
43 mins to 16.
McKelvin returns a fumble for a TD and Manuel throws a TD in the 4th
to get the win. He goes 10/18 for 149. Another lucky win.
Injuries:
SE Goodwin out 5 weeks
RG Urbik out 5 weeks
We sign R RG Terrell Salinger 19/30 and release R TE Caleb Buckley
whose ratings fell to 20/29
@ Jets:WIN 6-0
A very tight game where Spillers 119 yards and Manuels 21/34 for 142 do
just enough to get two FG's even though we miss one as well.
Ravens: LOSS 10-28
A very even game where Manuels 2 INT's and a lost fumble seal the deal
NT Dareus returns.
Injuries:
LDE Mario Williams is out for 3 weeks.
SLB Jerry Hughes out 52 weeks with torn ACL. Put on IR
We sign two R SLB's AJ Finley 19/23 and Keith Sweeney 22/22.
We release R WLB AJ Drauch 21/33
@ Browns:LOSS 19-20
Another close game where where we're even in just about every category
including turnovers (1 to 1)
Manuel goes 20/27 for 275 but it's not enough
The traded Fred Jackson runs for over 100 yards and the traded Aaron
Williams is the one who recovers the fumble from our FB Libby. Ridiculous!
Injuries
We lose starting RCB Gilmore for 4 weeks.
RG Urbik returns and we release R RG Salinger 19/30
We sign R SE Camden Hamilton 20/59
Bengals:WIN 16-7
A pretty even game we manage to win this time. Our backup RCB is injured
meaning we have to use our other 2 rookies to start and backup.
@Dolphins:LOSS 13-34
Ugly game. Spiller loses 2 fumbles and Manuel throws 3 INTs
Mario Williams and Kevin Kolb return but we lose WLB Manny Lawson for 4 weeks
FS Jairus Byrd for 21 with a torn rotator cuff!
We sign 3 year vet FS Anthony Walters 24/29 for the rest of the year.
We sign R WLB John Patterson 19/26 and release R RCB Jon Brown 20/39
@Saints:
Saints:LOSS 13 -38
Drew Brees picks apart our patched up secondary throwing for 5 TD's. and 2 INTS.
We sign R TE Dixon Flannery 19/29 who has character issues after TE Chandler 27/27
is injured. We release him for the roster spot as we have too many injured players
and give him 500,000 settlement.
Chiefs:WIN 13-9
1-7 KC is more of a match than expected but in a game of field goals
and 1 INT from each QB Spillers 100 yard efford and 4 yard run win it.
Our 2 primary RCB's return.
@Steelers:LOSS 12-17
Manuel gets knocked out for 2 weeks and Kolb is ineffective going 10 of 44.
Dixon will start next week.
WLB Lawson 39/39 returns so we release R WLB Patterson 20/26
We sign R TE Mario Delgado 14/31 after our backup Flannery is out 2 weeks.
Jets:LOSS 3-6
An ugly game where each team turns it over twice. Sanchez has a bad day but it's
better than Dixon's 24/40 with an INT. Back to Kolb as backup.
BYE
AFC EAST
Dolphins 7-4
Patriots 6-5
Jets 5-6
BILLS 5-6
Falcons:WIN 23-7
We beat a good Falcons team (8-4) as Manuel returns and we gain 428 yards to 141
The defense shuts down Matt Ryan and everything from our running game to forced
turnovers works.
@Buccaneers:LOSS 6-34
A very strong Tampa (9-4) capitalizes on 4 Manuel INTs to put the game out of reach early.
@Jaguars:WIN 44-27
We get to 1-7 in a convincing win against one of the league's worst teams (3-11)
Manuel has a big game throwing 3 TD's and 1 INT while Spiller walks away with the
game ball rushing for 176 yards and 2 TD's
Now our K is out 2 weeks!! We release TE Mario Delgado 15/29 to sign
K Don Wynn 39/52
Dolphins:LOSS 27-30 (OT)
A tough loss where we where always second best to the division leaders as we're outgained
560 yards to 327. Matt Moore throws for over 400 yards and Thomas rushes for 141 while we
don't come close to either.
@Patriots:LOSS 3-34
The Pats get their revenge for the shocking loss in the opener in a big way
In an almost carbon copy performance of last week against the Dolphins Brady and Ridley
repeat Moore and Thomas' performances. The Pats win the division in style.
