Week 16 Discussion

GG Delantis & Washington. We settled on too many field goals and I had a feeling at half time it was going to cost us if that trend continued and it did as we lost a close one. We won't get the 7 wins I was hoping for at first of season but could end up with 6 & 1/2 if we defeat Yuma who is really playing good here in second half of season.

Portland Phantoms (6-8) welcome Yuma Aces (7-7) hoping to keep on track for an 8-8 record on the season.

You caught us in the middle of one of the most improbable streaks in OSFL history, man. We picked up our 7th straight win in a gunslinging affair where it wasn't decided until the final second ticked off the clock. It was back and forth the whole way, a very hard fought game.. But our defense pulled out the stops we needed late and helped make up for the couple mistakes Buchanan made with his arm. Our run game was not the best, but we managed to get something out of it late when we needed it and pulled out another W. We're not out of the woods yet, but if we finish with a win against Vegas next week, we're in. Really wishing I hadn't put CB Tetreault on IR earlier this season.

Nick Dole gets the MVP for us this week, nearly 200 yards receiving and 3 TD in a huge game.

GG rush.

GG, man! You really held our offense in check.

Our record will be quite bitter-sweet if we can't make the playoffs. I am really happy how the team stepped up this season, though. Our first winning season since 2035!

Never know what to expect from this team, we constantly shoot ourselves in the foot on offense. Run game was non-existent, Gaddy looked decent until coughing up another couple of fumbles and we were beaten down by Dole on offense and Moe on defense. Another season of disappointment here in Portland.

Good game Shark.

I was worried about Galligher coming into this game. Grauman and Dilly were enough of a threat running the ball that we had to shift change our defensive game plan around quite a bit to address them. In years past we would have just stayed back in pass defense, given up as many yards on the ground as the other team wanted to try for and trust if the game did devolve slug fest, that Shae would be able to keep us in it.

Also a host relatively short but still "out" injuries this game. I hope both teams can get their guys back in time for the playoffs. That first round bye will certainly help.
