Continental Football League - The Dynasty

[GoldenEagle]

The Continental Football league, established in 2003 is a FOF Multiplayer League. I am the commissioner of the 32 team league. We have seen many highs and some lows since we started. In our inaugural season, the Oregon Ice won the Continental Bowl, defeating the Memphis Express, 17-15.

The propose of this dynasty will be to inform the community about our league in progress. Many members will be chipping in with info and doing various leagues stories. We also have a couple of individual team dynasties in which the owners go into excruciating detail about their respective teams:

I will being doing general league info, doing my best to fill in gaps here and there. Other owners will be reporting what they will be doing over the next few days or so.

Our sim schedule is every Sunday and Wednesday with an export sandwiched between for free agent signings. We have a live simulation, where we do the play by play of a game of the week.

The Continental Football League hopes that you will enjoy reading this report. Come along and join the fun of the first FOF league dynasty.

2004 Record: 4-0

THOUGHTS

Gordon continues his success this season. He has a 4-0 record in the toughest division in the CFL. He has been very

consistent and is on pace to throw only 4 interceptions this season. If this efficiency keeps up, it is going to be hard not

to look at Gordon as a candidate.

Tucson Toros RB Chester Brumley STOCK: DOWN

2004   4    4    96    365     3.8   36   2

THOUGHTS

As Tucson struggles to win games, Brumley's carries are going down due to the need to turn to the passing game. In

addition, his ypc is amongst the middle of the league. He has only gotten in the end zone twice, but fortunately he has cut

down on his tendency to fumble and has 0 fumbles this year compared to his 6 last year. The Tucson RB is 100 yards off the

pace of the league leader and quickly falling. He needs to have a breakout game if he wants to continue to be considered in

this group.

2004 Record: 2-2

THOUGHTS

It has been a rough two weeks for Hurt. He has gone down in every stat category since the last MVP review was done.

He went 1-1 in that span, and threw his first Int of the season. His rating has dropped and does not appear on the way up at

this time.

2004 Record: 3-1

THOUGHTS

In the last week McFarland has had trouble finding the endzone, only passing for 2 TDs but also throwing his first

Int. However, his Avg has stayed exactly the same and his Pct has remained close to steady. If McFarland could avoid the

sack more often, he could increase his chances for this award.

Chicago Hitmen RB Arthur Brady STOCK: STEADY

THOUGHTS

Brady leads the league in rushing and continues to show he is a reliable back. His average has come down a bit from

the lofty 5.0 ypc he had in the first two weeks, but that was to be expected. The big knock on Brady is that he

cannot get in the endzone. He is the only RB with more than 62 carries that does not have a TD. It is doubtful that even as

the league leading rusher he will win the MVP award without improving his TD situation.

THOUGHTS

After missing his week 1 start due to injury, Tue has lit up the league. He has the best Rating in the league and 2nd

best ypa average. In addition, he is tied for 4th in the league in Td's despite only playing 3 games and is the only

starting QB without an Int. Tu is quickly making me reconsider my prediction for the final winner.

PREDICTION

I am going to stick with Albany QB Rocky McFarland for now, but I am quickly losing faith in that pick.

[MrBug708]

Ronnie Tu missed week 2 start, not the first week, but that's no biggie. He's still the best QB in the league.

Week 5 review:

1 2 3 4 T Arizona (1-4) 0 0 7 0 7 Final Las Vegas (2-3) 0 14 7 0 21 POG: QB Lenny Olsen, LVS 26/39, 283 yds, 1 TD, 1 int It was Over When... ...the Outlaws didn't capitalize on their momentum when they scored in the 3rd quarter after trailing 21-0. Instead, the Crawfish held on and shut out their opposition in the fourth quarter. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Thomas Karl, who ran 21 times for 93 yds and a 20-yd TD run early in the second half.		1 2 3 4 T Atlantic City (2-2) 7 10 0 6 23 Final Cleveland (1-3) 3 3 6 8 20 POG: QB Jesus Dennis, ACI 20/37, 218 yds, 1 TD, 2 int It was Over When... ...the Flats, after recovering their own onside kick with a minute left, literally dropped the ball at their own 40. WR Tony Oaks had caught a 5-yd pass from Norm Rayburn when he was hit by Phantoms LB Jerrell Pinard, and fumbled away the ball to CB Gavin Davis. The Game Ball Goes To... ...TE Edgar Johnson. The 6-5, 245-pounder had a rare game with 9 catches for an even 100 yds and a long gain of 36 yds.
1 2 3 4 T Boston (3-2) 0 3 0 6 9 Final Chicago (2-3) 0 7 0 3 10 POG: QB Rodney Darr, CHI 14/31, 181 Yds, 1 TD, 0 Int It was Over When... ...K Ron McNeil kicked the game winner with seven seconds to spare. The 36-yd kick lifted the Hitmen from a 2-point deficit. . The Game Ball Goes To... ...LB Hollis Beardsley. This was a defensive game from start to finish, and Beardsley had a solid game with 9 tackles total, an interception and some veteran presence.		1 2 3 4 T Charleston (SC) (5-0) 14 6 7 6 33 Final Shreveport (1-4) 7 0 7 8 22 POG: QB Timothy Gordon, CHT 19/27, 245 Yds, 1 TD, 0 Int It was Over When... ...the Pride couldn't score in the fourth quarter until only 19 seconds were left. Instead, the Sixpacks extended their lead with two FGs by K Paul Stephan. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Teddy Woodard. It's scary to think that one of the best teams in the league appears to be developing a big-time running game as well. The rookie ran for 117 yds and a TD on only 19 carries, a 6.1 average.
1 2 3 4 T Detroit (4-1) 0 6 0 0 6 Final New York City (3-2) 0 0 0 0 0 POG: QB Freddie Mathias, DET 19/38, 193 Yds, 0 TD, 1 Int It was Over When... ...time expired, and Empire QB Kim Pace hadn't gotten the ball further than the Vampires' 46-yd line. CB Chris Carleton stopped WR Salzman after a 13-yd gain. . The Game Ball Goes To... ...FB John Bevan. With 7 catches for 70 yds, he led all receivers, and also ran for 44 yds on six carries.		1 2 3 4 T Durham (1-4) 7 0 0 7 14 Final Baltimore (2-3) 3 14 10 0 27 POG: QB Phillip Barbieri, BAL 23/31, 266 Yds, 3 TD, 1 Int It was Over When... ...the Bulldogs' QB, George 'Pitbull' Pitts, had a 3rd-down pass batted down by CB Chris Wilber. Durham punted from their own 46 at 4:46 in the fourth quarter and didn't get the ball back before the game was over. The Game Ball Goes To... ...WR Huey Brown. Provided a spark for the underperforming Bombers with 7 catches for 128 yds and a touchdown, the first time this season a Baltimore receiver has broken the century mark.
1 2 3 4 T El Paso (1-4) 0 7 9 0 16 Final Tulsa (2-2) 6 8 0 7 21 POG: CB Desmond Ward, TUL 8 tck, 2 asst, 2 int, 1 intTD It was Over When... ...the Rockets' QB Lorenzo threw a second interception in the fourth quarter to CB Graig Beaton with 2:22 left to play. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Ward. The Talons got a big play out of him when they best needed it, but the 6th-year safety had a very solid game overall, leading his team in tackles and had two picks.		1 2 3 4 T Huntington Beach (1-4) 0 7 17 10 34 Final Fargo (2-2-1) 7 7 0 0 14 POG: LB Tyrone Govan, HBE 9 tck, 3 asst, 1 int, 1 intTD It was Over When... ...the Boxcars found themselves trailing by 17 points after Otto Perry's 20-yd TD reception off a Sanford Hardesty pass. The Game Ball Goes To... ...the Capitalists' defense. Sick of losing, the best unit on the team took control and scored twice in the second half to seal their first win of the season.
1 2 3 4 T Memphis (2-3) 3 0 3 0 6 Final San Antonio (4-1) 0 7 7 17 31 POG: QB Joaquin Luster, SAO 18/26, 246 yds, 2 TD, 1 int It was Over When... ...LB Tony Lasalle returned an interception 52 yds for a score early in the fourth quarter. That took the wind out of the Express and Joshua Urrutia. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Luster. Two touchdowns to WR Douglas Cowley and steady passing to carry the team when the running game didn't work as well.		1 2 3 4 T Oregon (3-2) 7 7 3 7 24 Final Honolulu (3-2) 3 3 0 8 14 POG: QB Landon Hurst, ORE 22/27, 206 Yds, 2 TD, 0 Int It was Over When... ...Hurst found Jarvis Huntsman in the end zone for a 5-yd TD pass with 1:07 to go in the fourth quarter. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Rodger Rubinstein. With 153 yds rushing and a TD on 27 carries, and 37 yds on 6 receptions, the 9-yr veteran dominated this game for the Ice. He allowed the champs to control the clock and keep the ball away from Ronnie Tu.
1 2 3 4 T Sacramento (4-1) 0 10 7 7 24 Final Long Beach (2-2-1) 0 6 14 3 23 POG: QB Seymour Barre, SAC 18/26, 280 yds, 2 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...a pass from Calibiri QB Rene Huss was intercepted by the Dragons' Paul Stith with 1:13 left in the game. Barre could just kneel twice to end the game. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Alexis Rounds, who ran for 133 yds and a TD on 24 carries.		1 2 3 4 T Santa Cruz (3-1) 3 0 0 21 24 Final Denver (4-1) 3 7 7 3 20 POG: CB Noble Bird, SCU 6 tck, 3 asst, 2 int, 1 intTD It was Over When... ...Dynomite QB Edward Kimber had a last-second desperation pass batted down in the end zone by the Privateers' S David Visser. The Game Ball Goes To... ...backup CB Chris Jones. The little-used reserve DB took an errant pass away from Kimber and returned it 24 yds for 6 points, tying the game at 23-23. The following extra point by Brady Stiehl was good enough for the lead, and the win.
1 2 3 4 T Tampa Bay (4-1) 7 10 0 7 24 Final New Orleans (1-4) 0 7 3 7 17 POG: DT Chris Weiland, TBY 5 tck, 4 ast, 2 sacks It was Over When... ...backup RB Edward Levy broke through with a 30-yd scamper for the winning score with only 58 seconds left, breaking the tie and the Breakers. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Elias Alvey . The runner was back on track this week, gaining 132 yds on 25 carries.		1 2 3 4 T Tucson (3-2) 7 3 3 7 20 Final Seattle (1-4) 7 7 0 3 17 POG: QB Milan Hogan, TUC 19/31, 179 yds, 2 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...the Thunderbirds' QB Charles Dever was tackled three yards short of a first down on 4th and 9, with 1:30 remaining, by the Toros' Joe Dizon. Seattle actually got the ball one more time, but couldn't get past their own 35. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Chester Brumley . He ran for 102 yds on 26 carries and added 34 yds on 5 catches.

Bye week:
Anchorage (1-3)
Albany (NY) (3-1)
Boise City (3-1)
Hartford (1-3)

backup RB Edward Levy broke through with a 30-yd scamper for the winning score with only 58 seconds left, breaking the tie and the Breakers.

Levy is actually our FB. He has amazing speed for a FB to be able to break one open like that.

I definately agree though (as you can see in my summary) that this was the play of the game as you don't count on the FB running from 30 yards out with :58 left in the game to break a tie.

[mckerney]

6 INTs on 6 straight posessions. You hate to see a young QB like Bridges do that, but hopefully he can bounce back next week. Also nice to see Saunders having a good game given the chance to start.

The Toros' S Mitchel Enoch batted down the ball before it could reach TE James Robertson. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Brumley. The running back also scored a TD on a 2-yd reception in the first quarter. He had a 4.3 average and a long run of 22 yds.		1 2 3 4 T Baltimore (3-3) 0 17 6 6 29 Final San Antonio (4-2) 14 7 0 0 21 POG: K Wesley Little, BAL 5/5 FGs, 43 lg, 2/2 PATs It was Over When... ...the Armadillos' QB Joaquin Luster was sacked by DT Danny Register on 4th and 10 at the Bombers' 32-yd line with 1:48 remaining in the game. San Antonio G Richard Eaddy was flagged for holding on Register on the play, but the penalty was declined. The Game Ball Goes To... ...QB Phillip Barbieri. Didn't have a touchdown pass and threw one interception, but completed 61% of his passes for 246 yds and ran 8 times for 32 yds.

Stampede QB Branden Lin drove his team all the way to the Outlaws' 3-yd line only to have no time left on the clock. WR Abe Muncy's 17-yd reception looked good for a score until he was brought down by CB Craig Jiles. The Game Ball Goes To... ...rookie RB Archie Sonntag. He had 79 yds rushing on 17 carries and 3 receptions for 15 yds to lead his team in yardage, including QB Vince Paz, who had only 66 yds passing.		1 2 3 4 T Chicago (2-4) 0 0 0 7 7 Final Albany (NY) (4-1) 3 10 0 3 16 POG: QB Rocky McFarland, ALB 21/28, 213 Yds, 0 TD, 0 Int It was Over When... ...K Andre Dunn hit a 31-yd FG to give the Engineers a 9-point lead over the Hitmen with 3:39 to go in the fourth quarter.

That gave Cleveland a 14-point lead over the Attack with only 3:53 left in the game. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Oaks. One of the league's most dangerous receivers had another big game with 8 catches for 115 yds and a TD.		1 2 3 4 OT T Detroit (5-1) 7 7 0 3 3 20 Final Atlantic City (2-3) 0 3 14 0 0 17 POG: DE Kirk Bouchette, DET 4 tck, 1 asst, 3 sacks It was Over When... ...K Rico Seigler nailed a 52-yd FG at 10:59 in the overtime period.

With 1:41 left and down three points, that was a tough thing to overcome, and the following 4th and 15 conversion fell short by three yards. WR Scot Volpe caught the pass but was downed by S Mark Horrocks . The Game Ball Goes To... ...OLB William Tobar. He had six solo tackles, two assists, one sack, one interception and forced two fumbles.		1 2 3 4 T El Paso (1-5) 3 3 0 3 9 Final Santa Cruz (4-1) 0 0 7 7 14 POG: QB Brett Hedges, SCU 20/27, 204 yds, 2 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...Hedges went deep and found WR Sylvester Ortiz with a 64-yd TD bomb with only 1:16 to go. The score lifted the Privateers from a two-point deficit to the Rockets. A spectacular end to this close game. The Game Ball Goes To... ...DE Conrad Pellegrini. He had a great game with 8 tackles, two assists, two sacks and led a defense that kept El Paso out of the end zone all day.
1 2 3 4 T Fargo (2-3-1) 0 0 0 14 14 Final Sacramento (5-1) 7 7 7 0 21 POG: QB Seymour Barre, SAC 18/26, 195 yds, 3 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...the Boxcars' Dwayne Bridges was sacked by the Dragons' DE Rick Lamontagne. That gave Fargo enough jitters to concede a false start penalty on the next play and then fail to convert the following 3rd and 18 situation with 3:46 left. The Game Ball Goes To... ...All-Pro S Carl Stine, who had eleven solo tackles and led a secondary who prevented Fargo from going downfield all day - they ended with only a 5.4 pass average.		1 2 3 4 T New York City (3-3) 0 0 7 0 7 Final Boston (4-2) 0 7 14 3 24 POG: RB William Sheehan, BOS 27 att, 110 Yds, 0 TD, 2 PR, 62 yds, 1 TD It was Over When... ...the Panthers extended their lead to 17 points with 6:05 left in the fourth quarter with a 45-yd FG by K Joe Lynch.

The Thunderbirds then had to settle for a FG to make it 3-24 with 8:47 to go in the fourth quarter. To make up for 24 points, you've got to score touchdowns, not field goals. The Game Ball Goes To... ...kicker Glenn Hale. No, I'm kidding, of course it's QB Ronnie Tu. After all, it's Honolulu we're talking about here.
1 2 3 4 T Tampa Bay (4-2) 0 6 3 0 9 Final Charleston (SC) (6-0) 7 3 0 0 10 POG: DT Timothy Gordon, CHT 21/37, 233 yds, 1 TD, 1 int It was Over When... ...the Torpedos' punt returner Chris Haugh fumbled after being tackled by G Tyron Tedeschi. The Sixpacks' TE Cleveland Peterkin recovered the ball on the Tampa 34-yd line with 2:07 left to play. The Game Ball Goes To... ...WR Ronald Tibbetts. The flanker had seven receptions for 115 yds and was the Sixpack's deep threat in a game that was all about defense.		1 2 3 4 T Tulsa (2-3) 0 0 7 0 7 Final Huntington Beach (2-4) 0 10 3 6 19 POG: QB Sanford Hardesty, HBE 18/26, 266 yds, 2 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...WR Otto Perry caught a 15-yd pass for the final score in the game, giving Huntington a 12-point lead they were not going to give up. The Game Ball Goes To... ...WR Reginald Hagar, who had 6 catches for 130 yds, almost half of the total passing yardage for the Capitalists.
Bye week: Shreveport (1-4) New Orleans (1-4) Denver (4-1) Long Beach (2-2-1)

This game became much more defensive than I thought it would be. As I read through the game log (I always open it and read it before seeing the score), I was heartbroken when we fumbled that punt. This was a great game played by Sev's team and the rematch later this season should be intense!

[fantastic flying froggies]

I can't believe I am 5-1 !!! I have a lot of injuries though so I'm pretty likely to go on a major losing streak soon...

[Alf]

How come I recognize these box scores

[sachmo71]

My Breakers are 1-4!! I thought they would come on this year. Lots of potential there.

[FrogMan]

and the Dragons are 5-1 Man the guy who built that team did a heck of a job

[Fonzie]

Nice to see Brumley rounding into shape. He is our offense - he's our leading rusher and receiver. I shudder at the thought of him getting hurt.

Nice work everyone!

Checking in from my sister's place here. All I can say is wow! Totally wrong about one of us blowing out the other. Looks like the sort of game that I wish I would've looked through the log rather than just look for the score.

Yeah, I finally learned my lesson and I open up the .flg file for the game before I even open FOF. Yeah, we showed our smarts by taking about it being a one-sided game, eh?!

Don't worry, we'll score a TD next time, I swear!

[wade moore]

3ric, you're slacking on us!

[3ric]

Yeah I know. I have done six games on the report so far, but it appears I'm going to be tied up with stuff tonight...

Edit: a bit late, but here it is:

Week 7 review

1 2 3 4 T Albany (NY) (5-1) 14 3 0 7 24 Final Cleveland (2-4) 0 0 7 7 14 PoG: QB Rocky McFarland, ALB 10/17, 131 yds, 1 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...WR Tony Jolin hauled in a 39-yd TD pass from McFarland. The Engineers then had a 17-point lead and the Flats only managed a score by Mikel Blackmon in response. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Jonathan Sill. 119 yds rushing on 27 attempts and a TD provided the bulk of the Albany offense today.		1 2 3 4 T Atlantic City (2-4) 0 10 7 7 24 Final Chicago (3-4) 6 3 3 22 34 PoG: WR Zachary Spates, CHI 11 rec, 168 yds, 2 TDs It was Over When... ...Loyd Bedell returned an interception of a Jesus Dennis pass 40 yds for the Hitmen's second TD inside the two-minute warning. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Spates. RB Arthur Brady kept the Phantoms from keying on QB Rodney Darr and allowed Spates to stretch their defense. He made Darr look good with some huge catches.
1 2 3 4 T Charleston (SC) (7-0) 10 0 7 6 23 Final San Antonio (4-3) 0 3 7 0 10 PoG: QB Timothy Gordon, CHT 23/34, 283 yds, 2 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...K Paul Stephan hit his second FG in the fourth quarter, putting the Sixpacks 13 points clear with less than two minutes to go. The Game Ball Goes To... ...WR Ronald Tibbetts. Scored twice on long passes from Gordon and led the team with 8 catches for 119 yds.		1 2 3 4 T Durham (2-5) 0 0 3 16 19 Final New Orleans (2-4) 7 21 7 0 35 PoG: QB Randolph Krantz, NOS 18/27, 181 yds, 3 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...well, pretty much over when the Breakers led by 32 points late in the third quarter after a FG by K John Snell. The Bulldogs rallied for 16 points in garbage time, but it did little more than making the numbers less embarrassing. The Game Ball Goes To... ...S Noble McLane. He had only 3 tackles and one assist, but forced a fumble and returned the ball 56 yds for a score. In the second quarter he made an interception and returned it 91 yds for his second TD. This guy's got wheels.
1 2 3 4 T Fargo (ND) (2-4-1) 0 3 0 3 6 Final Denver (5-1) 0 14 14 7 35 PoG: RB John Lubin, DEN 21 att, 112 yds, 1 TD It was Over When... ...S Ray Halvorson intercepted a Travis Bridges pass and returned it 59 yds for a score and a 25-point lead midway through the third quarter. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Lubin. It wasn't enough to run for 112 yds and a TD on 21 carries, he had to catch 4 passes for 26 yds and 2 TDs as well. The running back carried the load when QB Kimber had an off day.		1 2 3 4 T Hartford (1-5) 0 0 14 7 21 Final Detroit (6-1) 10 7 3 6 26 PoG: QB Freddie Mathias, DET 20/37, 318 yds, 2 TD, 2 int It was Over When... ...the Attack's onside kick was recovered by Detroit's FB Lewis Scarbrough on Hartford's 42-yd line with 52 seconds left. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Mathias. The Vampires has improved by leaps and bounds, and the stellar QB play is a big part of that. WR Ramirez caught 4 passes for 106 yds and RB Wadsworth ran for 92 yds to complete Detroit's balanced offense.
1 2 3 4 OT T Las Vegas (4-3) 7 0 3 0 6 16 Final Anchorage (1-5) 7 0 0 3 0 10 PoG: QB Lenny Olsen, LVS 30/48, 369 yds, 1 TD, 1 int It was Over When... ...only 1:15 was left of overtime, and Olsen found WR John Walker with a 21-yd slant in the corner of the end zone. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Olsen. A week after passing for 375 yds, he almost does it again with the fifth-most single-game passing yardage in the CFL. Two receivers, Walker and Smith, reached the century mark with his help.		1 2 3 4 T Long Beach (2-3-1) 3 3 3 7 16 Final El Paso (2-5) 0 7 0 13 20 PoG: QB Ernest Lorenzo, ELP 10/14, 121 yds, 1 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...RB Steven Metz plowed through a would-be tackler on the goal line to get four yards, a cloud of Texas dust, and a touchdown. The score came with only 29 seconds left in the game as the Rockets drove 80 yds on the drive. Lorenzo kept the drive alive with a 17-yd run and a 27-yd pass to Chavez. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Metz. Ran for 75 yds and 2 TDs on 19 carries as El Paso tallied up 171 yds on the ground.
1 2 3 4 OT T Memphis (4-3) 7 7 0 3 6 23 Final Baltimore (3-4) 0 7 10 0 0 17 PoG: QB Joshua Urrutia, MEM 26/44, 280 yds, 2 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...the Express won the coin toss to decide who was receiving the ball in overtime. The Bombers' K Wesley Little hit a 70-yd kickoff, which WR John Parsley caught on the goal line before he took it all the way. 100 yds for a touchdown! The Game Ball Goes To... ...Urrutia. Spread the ball around to keep the Baltimore defense guessing - five different receivers had at least three catches. He almost won the game in the fourth quarter, but a lost fumble on the 8-yd line sent the game into overtime.		1 2 3 4 T Oregon (4-3) 6 3 0 8 17 Final Boise City (3-3) 0 3 0 3 6 PoG: QB Landon Hurst, ORE 15/22, 106 yds, 2 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...the Boxcars' QB Thomas Kuhn overthrew WR Abe Muncy on Oregon's 22-yd line with 5:51 left in the fourth quarter. They had to settle for a 39-yd FG and then couldn't stop the Ice from eating up the clock. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Rodger Rubinstein. In a defensive battle where Oregon was outgained by 78 yds, Rubinstein was consistent enough to let the Ice prevail. He got 79 yds rushing and 22 yds on 3 receptions.
1 2 3 4 T Sacramento (6-1) 14 3 7 7 31 Final Tulsa (2-4) 0 3 3 6 12 PoG: QB Seymour Barre, SAC 19/21, 302 yds, 2 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...the Dragons scored their fourth TD of the day on a 7-yd run by RB David Evans. The Talons had begun to hope for a comeback after they closed to 12 points behind, but Evans' score broke the Tulsa spirit. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Barre. An almost flawless performance, with a completion percentage of 90%. Apart from two hurried passes that wasn't catchable, the receiving corps had a collective stand-out performance as well, as they didn't have a single drop. Very impressive.		1 2 3 4 T Santa Cruz (4-2) 0 0 0 0 0 Final Huntington Beach (3-4) 0 6 3 0 9 PoG: QB Sanford Hardesty, HUN 18/30, 236 yds, 0 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...S Justin Luck intercepted a pass from the Privateers' QB Brett Hedges with 1:54 left in the fourth quarter. The Game Ball Goes To... ...OLB Garth Dittman. With 11 tackles, a sack, a defended pass and a recovered fumble, the defensive leader on the Huntington Beach team didn't just soak in the sun.
1 2 3 4 T Shreveport (1-5) 3 7 0 8 18 Final Tampa Bay (5-2) 14 10 10 0 34 PoG: QB Lane Manuel, TBY 16/24, 171 yds, 1 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...the Pride didn't convert a 3rd and 2 on their own 31 with 8:19 to go in the fourth quarter. RB Isaac Bellisari was downed for a loss of 3 yds by S Benjamin Montalvo and DE Chris Weiland. Shreveport was then down by 24 points and running out of time to catch up. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Elias Alvey. He only had a 3.2 average, but ran for 120 yds and 2 TDs as the Torpedos kept their commitment to the running game no matter what - they ran 44 times in total.		1 2 3 4 T Tucson (4-3) 0 3 7 7 17 Final Honolulu (5-2) 10 3 3 8 24 PoG: QB Ronnie Tu, HON 32/45, 335 yds, 2 TD, 1 int It was Over When... ...the Toros called their last timeout with 2:31 remaining. So far the Blue Pacific had held the ball for almost four minutes after giving up a Milan Hogan touchdown pass, and Tucson couldn't stop them from running out the clock anymore. The Game Ball Goes To... ...WR Wilfredo Tramel. He caught both of Tu's touchdown passes and had 7 receptions for 82 yds in total, and because we just can't give Tu the game ball every damn time.

Bye week:
New York City (3-3)
Seattle(1-5)
Boston (4-2)
Arizona (2-4)

slacker slacker slacker!

Understood, I'm having a hard time keeping up with my CFL dynasty and the IHOF predictions.

FWIW, despite being out of the league, I still visit the league forum regularly and I enjoy reading your summaries 3ric... I am also really surprised at how well the Dragons are doing so far

FM

[Raven Hawk]

I'm taking submissions for the first "Behind the Player" story. PM me with a player on your team that you would like to have a story about. Give me a general feel of his attitude, why you want a story about him, and a couple of quotes of things that he might say.

You can only have one pending submission at a time, so if you decide that you have a different player than your original submission, the original submission will be dropped.

All submissions must be received by 11:59 PM on Sunday to be eligible for that Sunday's article.

If you do not meet this deadline, send me a PM with the information anyhow. Your player might be eligible for the next edition.

I will make an executive decision on which one that I want to do. If I'm torn between two or more, we'll have a poll.

[Masked]

After a disasterous start for the season, I tried to shift around Hartford's offensive line a bit to generate a better protection and more rushing lanes. I gave last years LT his first start and the over paid fool gave up 3 sacks. At least the game was a little closer than most have been this season.

I really miss my first round pick, LT Orumieh. I thought my team should be better this season, but that devestating injury combined with my defense not developing as expected has Hartford on track for another high draft pick.

[Raven Hawk]

I'm just trying to feel my team out this season. I should be able to field a much better team next season.

[GoldenEagle]

Anyone catch the ending to that Memphis-Batlimore game?

[wade moore]

Yeah, it was QUITE the heartbreaker for Baltimore.. I mentioned it in my dynasty, talk about a tough loss!

I am quite happy with my team right now. For coming into a team right before week 1, it turns out it was built pretty well towards my stile. There are some personel changes that I will look to do, but overall it is working out well. It is a challenge having nothing to do with the personel so it is nice to see good results with what I was "stuck with".

Even though the performance has not been quite as good as last year, I still think it is one of the best divisions in the league.

[fantastic flying froggies]

Just to let you know folks that I have been working on the injury watch list, but since I have a helluvalot to catch up, I'm hoping to be ready by the end of this season...
j/k but every time I seem to have to time to work on it, it seems that at least 2 game weeks have gone by and I have to start all over again...

[Passacaglia]

Hey Masked, looks like we go head-to-head again this week, this time in Hartford! Should be another good game!

I also think that this year isn't quite the year for my team, although I am happy with our start. We've got some young guys here in Boston, and some cap space, so it's just a matter of finding out where we want to spend it, in order to improve next year. The only problem is quarterback -- McMillan is holding down the fort, but I don't know if we can ever really be a Super Bowl contender with him. On the other hand, it will be difficult to get anyone better. We'll see how he does the rest of the year.

[3ric]

Bump to mention the week 7 review is posted earlier in the thread.

[wade moore]

Quote:

This is the way I love to see it. As I mentioned, last week Alvey only touched the ball 15 times, and guess what? We lost! Even when his ypc are not stellar, they are enough if he gets the ball 30+ times. Plus, you know he is going to break a couple of 10+ yarders off at key times.

Week 8 review

1 2 3 4 T Albany (NY) (5-2) 14 0 7 0 21 Final Atlantic City (3-4) 6 6 3 14 29 PoG: K Hugo Eckard, ACI 5/5 FGs, 52 lg, 2/2 PATs It was Over When... ...QB Jesus Dennis completed a minor miracle as he resurrected Atlantic City from the dead with 14 points in the final five minutes, including a 5-yd run with 1:05 left. Praise the Saviour! The Game Ball Goes To... ...Dennis. The quarterback completed 22 passes for 321 yds and a TD, and ran for 42 yds and a score. The Phantoms didn't have to cross the Atlantic either, as WR Charles Lindberg caught 7 passes for 135 yds. I know, bad joke.		1 2 3 4 T Anchorage (1-6) 3 0 0 7 10 Final Oregon (5-3) 0 7 7 3 17 PoG: QB Landon Hurst, POR 21/34, 224 yds, 1 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...QB Maurice Brown's pass with 8 seconds left from the Oregon 31-yd line fell incomplete behind FB Rufus Eklund. The play was a hurried effort on 3rd and 3 that was disrupted by a blitzing Brian Vanegas , the All-Pro DE. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Hurst . Passed for a score to WR Alden Roy and ran for 27 yds to go with his 224 yds passing.
1 2 3 4 T Boise City (3-4) 0 0 0 6 6 Final Tucson (5-3) 7 10 3 3 23 PoG: QB Milan Hogan, TUC 22/32, 271 yds, 0 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...the Boxcars couldn't stop the Toros from going 50 yds in 10 plays and 6 minutes, 38 seconds. That drive ended with a FG by K Rubin Castorena and consumed so much time that Boise couldn't score again. The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Chester Brumley. He ran for 87 yds and a TD on 25 carries and caught 4 passes for 38 yds.		1 2 3 4 T Boston (4-3) 0 3 0 0 3 Final Hartford (2-5) 7 0 3 3 13 PoG: QB James Oberg, HAR 17/32, 233 yds, 1 TD, 1 int It was Over When... ...K J.C. Richmondhit a 37-yd FG between the posts and put the Attack 10 points ahead with 2:23 left in the fourth quarter. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Oberg . When the game was on the line, he completed a 36-yd pass to WR Curtis Plotkin to set up the game-winning FG.
1 2 3 4 T Charleston (SC) (8-0) 7 0 14 3 24 Final Durham (2-6) 0 0 0 0 0 PoG: QB Timothy Gordon, CHT 16/28, 232 yds, 2 TD, 1 int It was Over When... ...TE Cleveland Peterkin made it 21-0 in the third quarter. The Bulldogs answered with their best drive of the day to reach the Sixpacks' 19-yd line, but QB Pitts' pass was intercepted by S Arthur Duncan. The Game Ball Goes To... ...WR Roscoe Vankirk for the highlight-reel 73 yd touchdown catch where he caught the ball over the shoulder on a fly pattern. Gordon threw a lovely spiral that was right on the money.		1 2 3 4 T Chicago (4-4) 0 0 0 7 7 Final New York City (3-4) 3 3 0 0 6 PoG: QB Rodney Darr, CHI 15/27, 183 yds, 1 TD, 1 int It was Over When... ...RB Arthur Brady was rewarded for banging his head against the tough New York defense all day, and caught a 2-yd pass from QB Darr with 1:47 remaining of the game. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Brady. A workmanlike performance by the All-Pro running back, with 83 yds running and the winning touchdown catch.
1 2 3 4 T Cleveland (2-5) 3 10 0 3 16 Final Detroit (7-1) 7 0 3 24 34 PoG: DE Richard Cassidy, DET 4 tck, 3 sacks It was Over When... ...RB Thomas Wadsworth gave the Vampires a 17-point lead through his 5-yd run with 1:29 left in the fourth quarter. They took the lead with a 103-yd kickoff return by Dennis Finch, and would add another score with Milton Ly's 69-yd interception return. The Game Ball Goes To... ...the Detroit defense for holding Cleveland to only 169 yds and 13 first downs.		1 2 3 4 T Denver (6-1) 7 0 0 10 17 Final Long Beach (1-5-1) 7 0 0 7 14 PoG: QB Edward Kimber, DEN 14/26, 219 yds, 2 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...a pass from the Calibiri QB Rene Huss was intercepted by CB Cristobal Teel at the Dynomite 12-yd line with 2:44 remaining.

The Capitalist had scored on a 86-yd kickoff return to narrow the gap, but would need three touchdowns in the final quarter to win. Now they were behind by 27 points. The Game Ball Goes To... ...the Dragons' running game. RBs Rounds and Dana Montgomery both eclipsed the century mark and the team totalled 269 yds on the ground. Guard Danilo Biddle alone had 5 key run blocks, his colleagues G Thomas Close and T Craig Fecteau had 3 and 2 each.
1 2 3 4 T New Orleans (2-5) 7 10 0 3 20 Final Shreveport (2-5) 3 0 6 15 24 PoG: QB Douglas Hartman, SHR 22/34, 274 yds, 1 TD, 0 int It was Over When... ...the Pride's S Horace Shuck intercepted a pass from the Breakers' QB Randolph Kranz with 22 seconds left.

The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Elias Alvey. 95 yds rushing and a TD on 30 carries and two receptions for 12 yds was the result of his hard work.
1 2 3 4 T Santa Cruz (5-2) 0 9 7 10 26 Final Tulsa (2-5) 7 0 0 6 13 PoG: CB Chris Jones, SCU 6 tck, 1 ast, 2 int, 1 intTD, 81 intYds It was Over When... ...when K Bradley Stiehl kicked a 23-yd FG with 5:08 remaining, that gave the Privateers a comfortable 19-point lead. The Game Ball Goes To... ...Jones. Not only had he two interceptions, one returned 81 yds for a score, he also recovered a fumble and returned it 43 yds for another TD.		1 2 3 4 T Seattle(1-6) 0 0 0 6 6 Final Las Vegas (5-3) 10 10 7 3 30 PoG: QB Lenny Olsen, LVS 15/21, 187 yds, 2 TD, 1 int It was Over When... ...the Crawfish substituted Lenny Olsen in the fourth quarter, secure in the 27-point lead they've built through the first three quarters. . The Game Ball Goes To... ...RB Louie Shortridge. He's not a household name, but for once, the Crawfish passing game took a backseat and let this guy pave the way with 122 yds on 31 carries. Thomas Karl, the first-string back, is out with a hyperextended knee. .

Bye week:
Memphis (4-3)
Fargo (ND) (2-4-1)
El Paso (2-5)
Baltimore (3-4)

There is only one team for me, Jeebs.

Dola...

Noble McLane rules.

[3ric]

He could be nicknamed "Wheels" McLane after that game...

[Masked]

Thanks for the review, 3ric.

The Game Ball Goes To...

...Oberg . When the game was on the line, he completed a 36-yd pass to WR Curtis Plotkin to set up the game-winning FG.

It's about time this overpaid guy steps up -- so far it's been all hype with him. Perhaps if my offensive line could at least maybe slow down opposing pass rushers, he would put up solid games consistently.

[Passacaglia]

Good game, Masked. You guys really handled us.

[wade moore]

The league just had to bring in the right members

[Thul]

They have solid ownership

Lots and lots of my game plan tweaking combined with the solid roster you put together previously...the lack of injuries helps, too.

Of course you stuck me with massive salary cap issues after this season
