Great game TJ (Underground). Last kick FG to beat us. Crawford is going to give a lot of teams, a lot of problems.

Mind you, the Zebra crew were 'homer's' all day long. Something like 10 accepted penalties to 1 and a bunch more that were declined #SaltyNotBitter ;o)

We look forward to you visiting Anfield later in the year :o)


GG to you as well. As for the rematch, I will make sure to bribe those refs before the entire The Fields.

Anyone else noticing their team going for 4th and long at the end of the 1st half?

It's happened to me a couple times now, deep in my own territory.

I have a "go on 4th" rule, but certainly not 4th and 15 on my own 30.

Good game Bill/Berlin, I thought you were going to make a comeback at one point but the missed 2pc and pick 6 to follow killed you.

This League is tougher than I expected for it's first year, I thought we'd get a few easy wins but everyone has been super tough so far. I'm delighted to be 4-1 :0)

Thanks, good game. That fumble and ensuing TD sure helped with momentum.

Well besides being the World's Greatest Dad, he has 82 speed and 90 acceleration which makes up for lack of skills.

HC switches to hurry up late in half unless you have a rule. Some are conservative and let the clock run down, even if losing. Some, like yours are too aggressive. Some manage timeouts well others don't.

Put a rule in for final 2 or 3 minutes, should help.

My opponent did the same . And they were down late in the game .....they were in hurry up, because the clock was short between run plays , but they never passed it...Never seen that before either.

I figured it was a rule that was or was not firing correctly.
