awest827's 3rd quarter review is up.

AFC East:

New England is riding and 8 game win streak and looks like a real contender with the best rushing offense in the league to go along with a stellar defense. Buffalo is not far behind though and could still make a push for the division with another matchup with New England coming up in week 15. The Jets just can’t figure out how to win with 5 wins all of which came against teams with 2 wins. Miami needs better talent across the board, but their first priority is finding a new GM after Kuder51 stepped down.


Ouch! Bit harsh.
Nov 25 CLEVELAND BROWNS (20-24) lost by 4 pts, team now 11-3
Oct 14 @ New England Patriots (10-14) lost by 4 pts, team now 10-4
Sep 30 @ Buffalo Bills (23-29) lost by 6 pts, team now 9-5

Had we won those games we would be 9-5, its a razors edge.
We're now 6-8 and eliminated from the POs, but we will look to dent ...

Dec 9 @ Cincinnati Bengals (9-5) voegma and his Bengals looking make post season. remaining games Dolphins and Jets.

Dec 16 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (10-4) Kordaiin is looking to sneak past the Patsies and steal the div. They play us and the Bills, should be fun.

No tanking here, looking for Ws and respectability.


Oh...GG Cowboys, we'll stick another W in that column.


I don't think it was meant to be harsh. Your points just kind of reiterate his meaning. You are unable to close those games out. I don't think he meant your team was bad, just that they can't find a way to close out.

Sorry Gustoon I didn't mean to be so harsh. I hope you prove me wrong. Your team has been competitive but they haven't found a way to win those close games, and the quality of teams you have beaten isn't that great. That's all I was saying. The Jets certainly shouldn't be overlooked though, you have definitely given some teams a scare.

GG Washington. A few missed opportunities and some turnovers were the difference maker in that game. I think my guys learned alot of valuable information for the future

GG Green Bay.

So utterly frustrated, thought I had my rules fixed to prevent this, obviously they are not! Not saying I would have won, but it would have at least been worth watching. Back to the drawing board.

Ha ha no offence taken, honestly. This team is super frustrating and I think I've spent waaay more time on it than I should have, maybe that is the problem. Yeah closing games out due to stupid mistakes can't be helped. Its a challenge.

lol. Gustoon is a proven quality league Commish. He knows a lil controversy is good for business. Keep em coming awest827. :)

Speaking of good for business, What a week of games.
Carolina wins a thriller against new found rival New Orleans to tie up the NFC South.
Kansas City storms back with 24 unanswered 4th QT points to ruin the Broncos upset bid.
Tampa Bay takes down the powerhouse Raiders in another upset thriller.
My favorite game was Chicago 6 Minnesota 3. It doesnt get any more Black n Blue than that.

The races:
Oakland vs Kansas City this week. Dont need to say anything else about this one.
New England vs Buffalo this week. Dont need to anything else about this one.
Im not making this stuff up. lol Could it be any crazier?
Well why yes it can. Indianapolis is not out of the playoff race in the AFC South at 4-10.
Jacksonville vs Indianapolis this week. I dont know what to say about this.
Carolina and New Orleans are tied in the NFC South.
Washington continue to steam roll everybody in their path.
Cleveland has some breathing room.
Green Bay clinches the NFC Norris.
LA and Seattle face off next week to finish the season.

AFC Wild Card race:
Pittsburgh after having a great first have of the season falls off late and gets eliminated.
Cincinnati and Buffalo are tied for that last wild card spot.
San Diego is lurking just waiting for one of them to stumble.

NFC Wild Card race:
With only one spot left, the Eagles and Lions are on the outside looking in. One game behind either Carolina or New Orleans.
The Eagles play the Saints this week in a game with huge playoff implications.
And neither Carolina or Detroit have a cake walk in the remaining two games.

Side note:
The rushing title is as good as the playoff races has been.

GM profile is up with botastiac the featured GM.

Reread my post and decided to delete it. It was meant to be both playful and competitive in nature. I don't want to come across poorly

GG Bucs....apparently I have to take a look at my kickoff unit....we give up 2 tds on kick returns?! Terrible.

That said,...your defense did a great job of shutting us down in the 2nd half.



GG Raiders.

We`re slowly turning the Bucs around, this is the biggest win against a top team in the last few seasons in Tampa.
