Week 6 Discussion

Wow, it's amazing what will happen if you don't give the other team the ball all game long. Today we became the defense that takes the ball away, and although the San Diego offense showed signs of potential explosion we managed to keep them in check for most of the game. GG, Jason.

You can say that again, we registered 6 picks against Kansas City, with Lemaster now totaling 4 in his last 3 games.

We opened up the offense a bit which might have actually slowed us down but we're willing to let it ride as our defense is playing amazing football right now totaling more takeaways than points allowed in the last 2 games (10 to 9).

GG KC.

GG Firefly.

Our defense was amazing today. 4 picks and a fumble recovery really set the tone for the game. We scored 41 points, but our offense was average... it was our defense all day long.

3 of our picks were at the end of the game when Pittsburgh was throwing the ball trying to play catch up.

I see a pattern here...not sure our defenses are that great or if it's an update gone wrong :/

I would agree with you if it was defense on both sides... but in my game, at least, it wasn't. The games aren't defensive struggles. Our defense played great and we scored 41 points. To me, the update is doing what it is supposed to do... no more games where there are 900+ total yards of offense.

No, the pattern isn't that every team is doing it but in these 3 games it's one team taking the lion's share which in itself should be looked at.

GG zoot. Our passing game has been extremely poor the last two games. 16 yards passing today, though we won.
