Week 17 Discussion

[Delandis]

Won our 2nd second consecutive division title (since I've been captain).

Pulled out the OT win IN Portland, 22-16. The win didn't come without a cost though as the league's leading receiver in TD's and yardage is out of the playoffs with a muscle strain.


We are going to need some more Granberry magic like last year to pull out wins in the playoffs.

McIntyre set the single season sack record with 21.5!

North Liberty: Strong formation, strength is right. The defense is in a 34 with nickel personnel and 3-deep zone coverage, expecting the pass.
2-10-STP48 (2Q: 04:51) Ryan Medlin sacked by OLB Justin McIntyre for a loss of 6 yards. Sack allowed by Don Holiday.

Lake County with the 21 point fourth quarter comeback to keep us from 8-8. Still won 2 more games than last season. GG, and good season to everyone. see you in the offseason!

Finished really strong with Bruce Perkins leading the way with an explosion of yards. He had a career year, Recker proved himself a viable QB, and rookie WR Dole is coming along fairly nicely. If our defense holds up we can beat anyone, so we'll see what the bye brings us and get prepped. We should be 100% healthy going into our playoff game, which ought to be a valuable luxury against the best of the best.

GG Los Alamos. We kept the score close again but that is it. All we have to look forward to is the off-season. Unfortunately I think we get the 1.2 based on strength of schedule but not sure if FOF works that way.

I was disappointed with Sisco's play down the stretch but apparently we have the worst run blocking in the league according to football outsiders (-21% and the next worst was -14%). I might be tempted to get some blockers for him via trade but I think continuing the rebuild is in order.

It's really important the OL nowadays. Grauman had his best season running the rock so far thanks to his amazing OL. He is living a new prime! We are ranked 3rd in that category btw, after getting really awesome bargains during the last off-season.

Our championship window will be close next year thought with many back-ups entering in his contract year and playing really nice football. Our core players are getting older and we have to fit them under the cap, through cap outs and extensions but a lot hard decisions will need to be made.
But this is what Garion loves. Rebuild teams :)
I won't do it from scratch thought.

Good thing I have a bye. We played starters and got BOTH the QB1 and the QB2 knocked out for 2 weeks each. Ouch! That's what I get. Covington lasted just one play, but at least he wasn't hurt holding on a PAT...

GG, bomber! Three playoff entrants from the division this year.

Gg Aston. Nice to get a win over a dominating bos team to end the year. Sorry for taking out both of your qbs. Will they make it back for the 1st playoff game?

[Aston]

I sure hope so!

GG Garion, This season was an improvement compared to last year, but we still have a lot to work on for the seasons to come
