Strongbows stay undefeated 10,300 miles from home with a win Brisbane. the Sharks couldnt get anything going after Dublin took the lead with an 11 yd td strike from QB Roger Falcone to TE Trevor Parr to open the Fourth quarter. Falcone is gaining a reputation as the quintessential game manager style quarterback and has proved to be a great 23rd round pick up for the Bows.......Mexico City K Robert Dias boots in 6 field goals as the Bushmasters find new ways to lose in another shut out. San Jose has now been shut out 5 times in 9 games. stud MLB Rudolph Drayton is apologizing to what remains of the fan base and has stated that he would like to play somewhere with a winning culture.......the Rodeo miss 2 chip shot field goals and fail to take advantage of a 3-0 turnover margin while mustering just 18 yards on the ground versus a competent Revolution defense in a shut out at home......an embarrassing missed tackle by Sao Paulos FS Clinton Shipp clears the path for Tornado RB Francisco Hills 63 yd td run in first quarter which was all that Guayaquil needed to take care of the Choppers.......Lions pounce on the Stampede with TD drives on first two possessions and dont look back in a demoralizing divisional loss in front of Brazavilles sad home crowd. Lagos is up 2 to zip in the Jungle Cup.... Johannesburg defends its home turf versus the Mountaineers with the help of QB Robert Welchs third quarter 75 yard strike to WR Brian Hankinson.....Zippers WR Michael Chagoyas 95 yd td reception is not enough as the Pirates win the inaugural Oriental Cup with the help of QB Robert McCoys efficiency and a shut down second half defense....in a battle of field goals, Tel Aviv K John Kidd splits the uprights as time expires in overtime to secure the first Holy Grail in a thriller in Cairo.....WR Manny Pacquiaos records a 62 yd td reception in the third quarter during low tide in Panama City as the Jaguars take a bite out of visiting division rival Tijuana. a big win for the Jaguars.....Rosarios trip north is ruined by Trident K Matthew Pierces two fourth quarter field goals.......Distillers QB Andrew Prosser throws 4 picks and the Power position themselves to make a play off push with a win in sold out Suncor Coliseum against divisional foe Toronto. Calgary will be hosting 5 of their last 7 games and of those 7 games just three opponents have a winning record......in the game of the week the Gauchos narrowly seal the deal late thanks to QB Robert Williams 10 yd strike to WR Derrick Gatti & Kraken RB Diego Crawfords untimely fumble in a game which featured 9 field goals....Jakarta takes a slow boat home with a loss after Anchors 15 play 97 yd 4th quarter drive capped by a RB Mudtail Redd td run. very impressive drive. these are the kind of drives that define the contenders. look for the Anchors to make some waves in the playoffs despite their current losing record.....the Prizefighters continue their free fall by moving in the wrong direction with a last chance drive in a loss to the Street Urchins which featured the easiest kick return for a touchdown imaginable from WR Merle Jones.....the Spires faithful show out in full force to witness a beatdown courtesy of the visiting Butchers who were led by QB William Cuttings near perfect game featuring two 80 yd touchdown strikes....in another thriller between two top 8 teams the Bayhawks edge out a win in overtime versus the visiting Owls in what was the best game of the season so far. the Owls kick a field goal to tie it up at end of regulation but the favor is returned in overtime after an untimely interception thrown by newly acquired QB Aaron Clark sets up K Cleo Johnson for the 44 yd game winner. Bayhawks WLB Marc Rider records 15 tackles.

i love the Bushmasters!.....probably my favorite team name and logo combo. plus Costa Rica is beautiful

im just relaying what i see....they are in fact absolutely pathetic and i cant imagine an argument to the contrary.....not trying to be mean....its all fun. as soon as they get a QB who doesnt throw the ball all over the field they should be able to be more competitive......they have a decent WR corps, a competent o line and a few studs on D...just need a QB with 75+ pass accuracy, a faster RB and more than 4 players suited up for the secondary.....the defense has a surprising amount of injuries right now, surely a result of being on the field so often. the QB issue is clearly the easiest fix, but at this point i cant see a reason to win any games.....might as well lock in that number one pick

according to Kroders profile, this is his first RO team.......no one kicks **** right away in anything......so while we are here i would like to reiterate the fact that if anyone feels they could use some advice or guidance to PM me, i am happy to share the things that i have learned...im not the best but i can say that i have had some success and i dont see a reason to keep any secrets
