5-3 again last week. The Fire impressed the hell out of me with the BIG win over LVF.

1. Monmouth Evil Monkeys V. 4 Minnesota Marauders. Monkeys controlled a very good HHW team team on D and moved the ball consistenly on O. The 10 points scored by HHW was there season low and the 38 allowed was there worst defensive effort of he year. Minnesota comes off a bye week win over the Daggers and looks to prove they belong in the top half of the playoff bracket against the Evil Monkeys. Evil Monkeys win 44-28

2. Lincon Navigators V 14. Dallas Vaqueros. The Navs had another workman like win against a solid team. They just keep on doing what they need to against solid competion. Dallas pulled off the upset over the soon to be CPU Orangebloods and looks like they were able to avoid a bottom 2 spot. LN wins 57-10

3. Honolulu Hurrican Warriors V 5 Las Vegas Freebirds. The Warriors were unable to get their usually dominate ground game in gear agaist the Evil Monkeys and their O-line couldn't stop the pass rush. The Freebirds got their asses handed to them by SFF. LVF is in the middle of the toughest spot of their schedule with Monmouth and Minnesota coming up next. Home field might be dispearing for them soon. HHW wins 41-24

6. San Francisco Fire V 8 Columbus Bucks. The Fire were very impresive in dismantling the Freebirds. I guess hey studied the Monmouth game film and fixed their issues on D. Talent wise/GM wise they are a top four team, but with 5 losses I can't put them over the teams ahead of them off of one great game. The Bucks are part of insane 6 team fight for the last two play-off spots. A clutch win over The Thunderstorm. They took the lead with 1:55 to go, forced a 3 and out than killed he clock. SFF wins 42-28

7. Richmond Rebel Yell V 13. Dallas Orangebloods. The Yo-Yo season of the Rebel Yell continues. They followed up a hot start with 6 straight losses. Two wins in a row have got them back into the playoff picture. After Beating Minnesota I thought Dallas had a chance to do some damage in USA PRO. With their announcement yesterday that they are going CPU they will damage the league, by allowing a team that should be dropped down to stay. RRY wins 51-13

9. Bourbon Street Bullies V 12. South Bay Spartans. The Bullies had their 3 game winning streak snapped but played the Navs tough. It looks like they have worked out their O AI in time to make a playoff push. SBS Looked impresive in taking down Parma for their 2nd straight win. 3 straight wins could sneak them into the playoffs. BSB Wins 35-31

10. Parma Burglars V 15 Kaneohe Daggers. Parma picked up it's 6th L in the last 8 games and doesn't seem to have any idea as to how to fix their D. After their D-line got Berfed they haven't been the same. The Daggers put up 6 against Minnesota, Yippee. PB wins 51-10

11. Oklahoma City Thunderstorm V 16. Anchorage Penguins. OCT got taken out for the 6th straight game. 6-1 turns into 6-7 in a flash in GLB. AP is still CPU OCT wins 255-0

MR. LARRY SMITH is a beast and we have all seen that, BUT you guys are rolling now and I think you can control him in the BS bowl.

I was tempted to make a second account under the handle coachvikingsliver but I figured that'd be the end of my dotlife so I reconsidered.

Great game SBS. I know it wasn't just me on the BSB end who was cursing it up following that post-halftime score. I don't like being down 28-16.

Thank god for the 4th quarter.

Nice call. Would have had the score nailed if it wasn't for a missed PAT and Bourbon St going all Steve Spurrier on them in the last two minutes.

I have openly admitted that I don't have a clue what I am doing when it comes to the AI

Apparently I don't know the difference in 'Run' output and 'Long pass' output

Running out the clock via long passes is our new bread and butter

Good game BSB. Larry Smith just couldn't pull it off today. It was pretty close going into the 4th and the Spartans having a eight point lead. I guess Smith and O-line just broke down at the end of it. Not surprisingly, our defense ran out of steam once the running game went sour. Damn, I wish I had another power running back .

Funny, I wish you had one less power running back LOL

Tbh it would help if we had at least one of them also...
