Next export due by Sun, 11/7, 6 AM EST. This will be a midweek export.

Opened up the passing game a little bit, and Dwayne Bridges wins a surprising Player of the Week honor.

ugh... the pain continues..

Things were looking good until a crucial turnover and some poor playcalling (just over 2 minutes left, we have the lead, 3rd and 2, and we pass... incomplete..)

Well, drat.

This is frustrating. McMillan gets knocked out of the game in the 1st quarter. What would any reasonable coach do? That's right, run the ball, but no, they've got my useless 2nd-string QB in there throwing it.

Well, at least they'll be no doubt about the gameplan for the next couple of weeks.

1-06-DUR06 (06:10) NED 26 Sheehan ran inside the right guard for 2 yards.
Tackled by DUR 92 Jimerson, assisted by DUR 97 Vazquez.
NED 15 McMillan was injured on the play.


McMillan gets hurt on a running play after Motormouth Vazquez "unintentionally" falls on him and twists his elbow backwards. Vazquez lost his balance while performing his patented "chit chat" celebration dance.

No word on whether the league will fine and/or suspend Vazquez.

Holy cow! Mine was a very exciting game to watch on 3ric's viewer...

Sorry about that Raven Hawk. I really should have put that game away in the 3rd quarter when I was dominating, instead i let the Pride back in the game...

Kudos once again to my special team unit who blocked another punt this week, and consistently gave my team good field position and my opponent a bad one.

I really need to find out what is wrong with my offense....

407 yards of offense. Goodness. Did I kick a FG to win? Or did Jeebs kick miss a FG to lose?

[quotedef4ab3="MrBug708"]407 yards of offense. Goodness. Did I kick a FG to win? Or did Jeebs kick miss a FG to lose?[/quotedef4ab3]

you scored 10 points in the last 2 minutes, 3 of them on a last second 52 yds FG to tie the game.

You then scored another FG about 6 minutes into OT.

Oh and the 407 yds are Ronnie Tu's passing total. Total offense was 502 yds!!!

And the Tucson Train somehow keeps on rollin'. We won despite a very average offensive output, but QB Milan "Colonel" Hogan played within himself, WR Miles Shumaker came through with a huge 50 yd reception in the 2nd half to set up the go-ahead touchdown, and the defense played well enough to limit a spirited effort by Lenny Olsen and the Crawfish. The pass defense in particular played well, with what I believe is a team record [icd496c1]9[/icd496c1] passes defensed.

But don't believe the hype (not that I've really heard any). We may be undefeated, but we are very beatable. We've gotten lucky in some close games. Will Tulsa (1-6) rise up and give us the beatdown we've been expecting every week?

Geez, another super tight game against one of the top teams in the league.

I guess the past two weeks means that the Rockets are for real, but I really wish that we had won at least one of those game...

No problem, I'm getting numb to the 3 point losses. It seems that a pattern is emerging.

-When we score points, we lose by 3 points.
-When we don't score points, we lose by 3 points.

At least I can't lose next week. Thank the good Lord for the bye week.

52 yard FG? Makes up for the lone loss of the season I had.
