the
Golden Eagles didnt take kindly to being one point underdogs at home. QB
Charles Brunswick throws two quick TD strikes in the first half to send the Kraken a packin. the Golden Eagles hold the Kraken to just 158 YDs of offense and just one third down conversion. the convincing victory fills the sails with wind into next week when they host the Power
the loss is a concerning one for ULRO posterboy and Notre Dame product
QB Shane Sharp. he has consistently played at an above average level peppered with moments of brilliance. his career regular season rating is 82.9, good for tenth among those with 1000 pass attempts. he has led the Kraken to a 39-25 all time record, reached the postseason (out of a hyper competitive Canada division) three out of four seasons and reached the contenders vs favorites round for the past two seasons. that is where the good news stops. his post season rating is 54.35 with 1 TD & 9 INTs (he had 6 INTs in his first playoff game which was coincidentally in Mexico City, jitters?), which is the worst of the 18 QBs that have at least 50 post season pass attempts. it is apparent that the Kraken have a big decision to make......next season he will be 28 with lots of potential. my weights have him rated just under Klopp
the
Power manage the game well by setting up
K Terry Mendoza for 4 chip shot FGs as they send the Bayhawks away with frowns. the story here is summed up with the turnover tally.....Bayhawks 3 - Calgary 0. next weeks showdown in Mexico City should be a doozie. once again, the Golden Eagles are 1 point underdogs.
side note: i have tried to make sense of the programs power rankings. for the most part, i can see it, but sometimes not so much....at all. how in the **** is Mexico City #18? they won 12 in a row now and claimed the one seed. they just dropped 5 spots after this game. oh well, i suppose that is why i make my own
the Bayhwaks have all the pieces to be in the hunt again next season
the
Lions defeat the Deities in a sloppy one.
K Cedric Longwell boots in 4 three pointers to become the leagues leader in post season FGs (16/17) and
CB Gary Rutherford picks off two passes in the second quarter to fuel the win. the Lions play host to the Zippers and
g10rsh. we used to have many epic games battling for Roman conference supremacy in UFA league. may the best team win, ol buddy
the Deities exit 2072 feeling good about what they accomplished. they won the franchises first play off game and had arguably the best defense in the league allowing a league best 117 points. it will be interesting to see how they manage their talented young QB tandem....i know a couple teams that could use a QB
all three of Toyamas MVP candidates showed up to play and the
Zippers defeat the Owls to move onto Lagos.
CB Eric Bradley had his tenth pick of the year,
RB Harry McDuff had a TD and QB Wendall Yardley was an efficient 20/24 for 159 YDs
the Bayhawks and the Owls bid to return to the Ultimate Showdown falls short to ensure there will be two newcomers this year
the Owls did a sort of nose dive after having a leagues best record of 10-2. from their they lost three in a row to lose grasp of the one seed. basically, they had the keys to the camaro, but they drove it into a ditch. analysists expect Owls brass to bring in some players to shore up the right side of the offensive line
franks picksGolden Eagles 17 Power 14
Lions 17 Zippers 14
i think i broke my foot....for real...slipped on a stair the other day...lemme know if you need any logo alterations
