QB Edward Kimber wins the offensive player of the week award after he goes 17-20 for 212 yards and 2 TDs. He also rushed 11 times for 107 yards and 1 TD! Kimber is now the career rushing leader for QBs with 2,344 yards. Right behind him is Boise's Branden Lin with 2,311 yards and Charleston's Landon Hurst with 2,298 yards.

Next up: undefeated Charleston. We've won the last 5 meetings with Charleston, but this time we're underdogs by a touchdown and will be missing our best offensive lineman (G Hunter Jaimes). Hopefully S Melvin Newson and the rest of my secondary can find a way to slow down Hurst. I don't think we want to get into a shootout with these guys.

Also, congratulations to Hartford on setting the new CFL record for fewest yards allowed in a game (94). The previous record of 98 was set by the Denver Dynomite back in 2003.

Congrats GE....

I'm at a loss for words this year.

yay, Barre is healthy! I think this is the first bye week I've truly enjoyed.

_________________

Very pleased to be 6-2 entering the bye. When the schedules were announced was expecting to be 4-4 at this point. Been a very solid performance allround from the Denver squad.

Boise wins again, this time 24-7 over Huntington Beach. It was actually our first win in which we were outgained, 298-250. Basically we returned the opening kick for a td and got ahead 14-0 really quick and kind of went into kill the clock mode early.

This was already the 6th time this year we've held our oppenents to 10 points or less.

Once Lincoln develops, though, Huntington Beach will be hard to stop. They converted a bunch of third downs, and moved up and down the field pretty well, and if it wasn't for 6 sacks, and a couple missed field goals (along with us returning the opening kick) this could've been a much different game.

Pictures are worth a thousand words...

Throwing interceptions at your own 18 will kill you every time...

Here's a good stat: So far this season Boise has outscored opponents 65-10 in the first quarter, and all 10 of those points came via Anchorage in week 1. Since then it's been 62-0.

Good Game Jeebs

_________________

A relatively easy win against Shreveport.

Titone came in to play in the 3rd quarter, and threw his first official pass...an interception! after the fiasco in his 1st preseason game where he threw 6, I was worried but he then settled down to finish with the following statline: 5 for 10, 37 yds, 0 TD, 1 int. Nothing stellar, but at least, he's getting some playing time...

dola- GE and Memphis have just completed their sweep of the Great Lakes division!

[quotebc0342c="TurfToe"]Pictures are worth a thousand words...[/quotebc0342c]

Nice game TurfToe. And now please allow me to begin my rant:

Are you [ibc0342c]shitting[/ibc0342c] me?! What the FUCK!? This game should've been an automatic win - I figured the only way we could lose is if we piled up lots of penalties, but why worry about that when we were the least penalized team in the league this year?

11 penalties - 65 yards.

Several of those penalties cost us crucial 1st downs or gave Vegas easy first downs when we had them stopped. And several were called on my O-line, which just happens to have a cohesion of 100%. And while I'm ranting about the O-line, our studly right side of the line was a magnificent 1 for 10 on KRBs, with one sack allowed. Nice work, fellas.

And Hogan - another big WTF. He'd thrown 3 picks all year, and manages to cough up two today and complete less than 50% of his passes. Dick.

And how about Mr. Automatic, All-Pro K Ruben Castorena? He missed two FGs from 46 and 48 yards that could've given us the win. Nice job.

Our effort today was terrible all around. These bastards are running windsprints all fucking week.

Pants. Load.

Hey, since it's my birthday can I ask Taco to re-sim this week? Please?

Jody Beech finally succumbed to his lingering torn quads injury. Out for [i2a440f1]forty[/i2a440f1] weeks!

IIRC, he was probable with 1 week left on his injury going into this game, no? Damn.

His career is probably over. I don't think I have ever seen a player come back from two successive serious injuries. Sad to see him go though - he is the Attack's career leader in receptions, yards, and TDs.

I am in first place in the Great Lakes division!

Things just keep getting better for us. I picked up Barlow just as an injury replacement and he is giving me good yardage out of the backfield.

We beat Cleveland though because the D came to play. If they continue to do that we can go to the playoffs. Our offense is focused on ball control and when Hoffman does not through picks, we are good.

Surprise win against New Orleans without our QB and putting our FB in at RB might have helped out a little bit.

P.S. GE saying your offense is good when your QB doesn't throw picks is like saying you have a good chance of winning if you score more than the other guy, .

Well, it was a big gamble. Hopefully he'll retire and we wont have to eat the rest of his contract

Ahhh, now the juices are flowin'...

Fonzie, allow me to offer some insight to your analysis.

1. Vegas is a hard place to play at. We suck there all of the time too, you're not alone.

2. Penalties are easily overcome as long as you can execute in the clutch. Your final posession was the clincher, my D-Line appeared to have stepped it up. I'm as surprised as you are, or am I?

3. You're looking at your right sider's 1-10 all wrong. Think of it as a 9-10 day for the left side of my Pink People Eaters. Two somehwat talented guys by the names of Mario Ah Yat and Zachery Aaron tend to hang out there from time to time.

4. Apparently the agressive blitz package I devised actually worked. My goal was to stop Holliday (which didn't exactly happen) and live or die with the results Hogan could muster. I was expecting to have my secondary shredded but it just goes to show that everyone can gamble and win in Vegas from time to time, even a Rounder.

5. As far as Ruben "The Rub" Castorena goes, maybe he was visited by Kent Eyles' ghost and was a little worried about what Vegas likes to do to those involved with place kicks?

6. Think of this as a little drama to make your run for the division title a little more exciting. Unless Jackpot catches a little of Michael Vick's healing powers, I'm still looking at 4+ losses before he gets healthy.

7. Our meaningless game in Tucson in the final week of the season now seems to be one to watch...I for one cannot wait for my chance to sweep the Toros. Even if Jackpot is healthy, Luke "the Toro Killer" Alston may just get the start.

Man....

3 serious injuries already this year.

I'm going to shoot my coach soon.

I thought a retired player's contract is resolved the same as a cut or traded player's contract. Don't you have to pay the accelerated bonus over the current and next year?

Yes he would. He might be referring to avoiding the remainder of the player's salary.
