My Thoughts

Should have finished that game better but the defence stood up on those two fourth downs, althought im conceding way too many points. Norwood carried the load nicely with Hart gone. Considering making Norwood the starter and just using Hart inside.


Injury Updates

Tamme and Hart 1-4 days

Gonzalez brings up 10000 receiving yards

Way to hold tough at the end. Yea...those games are close but you are holding on at the end. Nice win.

[Sanchez_Mareno]

With most of my roster on the trade block 'just in case' I got a trade offer for TE Mark Bruener. Seeing as hes only my blocking TE i explore the options and managed to convince the Panthers(division rival but its only a blocking te) tp give up a 09 2nd and a 09 7th.
With Trey Lewis being injured I signed Jason Ferguson DT 75/75 for 900k for d-line depth
So now Jerome Felton FB is my blocking TE

My thoughts

Offense good in my half, a debacle in theirs. Hart started but wont next week. Looks like a 3-1 split in Norwoods favour for the next little while. Best game defensively of the season, really stuffing the run. Really annoyed i lost, this was one that got away. Should have run the game out better (again)

[BrnwsBucksFanNC]

Tough loss...any thoughts on why the offense struggled once they passed the 50?

[Sanchez_Mareno]

Cant really put my finger on one thing. Just didnt happen. Runs were stuffed, catches dropped. The fumble at the 2 as well

Well after 2 plays recently signed Jason Fergusons season is over. 6-12 months so IR
Vonnie Holliday DT 75 signed to take his place

My thoughts(in no particular order)

Coming from behind to win again. Conceded 24 points but only one was a big TD pass, rest were a long drive and a int return so defense is looking strong although no sacks and a high completion % only 250 yards given up in total . Gotta stop giving up INTs in the red zone. My trainer stinks. Dont get the feeling my team is particulary strong as much as grinders and grafters at this stage
