GL, should be a good, competitive season.

The "Graveyard" Dallas defense, an offense RIP location. 65 yds rushing/game, 180 total yds/game allowed, #1 rank.

Week 1 Giants Report
"How did the game go?"

"Well, I have good news and I have bad news."

"What's the good news?"

"You held Dallas to just 6 points!"

"Great! What a way to start the season, such a huge 'W'! Go Big Bl-"

"Erm...not so fast..."

LOL

Just checked, actually didn't have a couple of my starters in from preseason, including my QB1. Hey ho, probably lose the return game 30-0!

That was prob the best defensive game Ive watched since I won my first LC 5 years ago, 9-8. Wouldnt you know that we would get the drive needed for the winning FG right at the end of the 4th. Bleeding Beta has the most to do with it, but was a great game if you like a defensive struggle. GL rest of the season my friend, doin a great job with the Giants.

GG Bears, our offense keeps giving up the ball on our end of the field, but the Graveyard keeps that from costing Dallas the game.

Wow, that was a fight to the finish amalric/Giants, what a rematch of the defensive jewel in the opener. Passing was practically futile in both games. I couldnt believe we missed the FG right before OT, and that is usually one of those death signs that you will prob lose the game. You came as close as anyone has to ending the Dallas streak, in both our games, The opening KOR to the house was a shocker, hadnt had or seen one of those in quite a while. And 7 points in this game version is like 10.

Yeah, didn't expect that at all! Need something like a kick return TD to have a shot, but we might have had a shot anyway if not for my RB1 Ketchum putting the ball on the ground FOUR times. He cost us the game, plain and simple, so he earned his spot on the bench.

GG!

I dont think the avoid fumble attribute has much to do with it, Ketchum's is 66, which is better than all of my RBs. And the first three fumbles were caused by defenders with less than 30 strip, but the last fumble, the killer that cost you the game, by was caused by DE Long, who has 100 strip. Am wondering if fatigue level has an effect, or its just the luck of the roll.

Another incredible game and final quarter, thanos/Cards. The first quarter would almost want to make you abandon the passing game altogether. 4 interceptions, 2 each, brutal. Couldnt believe the defense would collapse like that and give up the long pass followed by the TD with a minute left. Im going to make a def adjustment in the rules based on that. 2nd time in the last two games that the streak almost ended. Total of 9 TO's ! 5 picks and 4 fumbles, and 14 penalties! 8/6, wow.

We definitely have a flair for the dramatic, GdB.

Another epic game!

Good win and see you down the road hopefully!
