Magpies QB Crocker, crocked in major blow for Magpies.


A bad day for Newcastle as there QB suffers a bad injury but comes back in the second half to hobble through the pain (throwing 5 interceptions).


GG Magpies/Gustoon, shame about the QB. We were red hot in the first quarter but very sloppy afterwards. If you win the turnover battle 7-0 you really should be winning the game.

that has to be some evidence that a neck injury affects arm in some way. Most likely accuracy was pushed below the threshold of success.

Connie, don’t call me a girl, Jones completed his first 27 pass attempts for 389 yds and 7 TDs ending the game 30/32 490 yds and 8 TDs. Never had a QB play that well in my history of MFN regardless of the opponent. To think he wasnt even getting starter reps in preseason.

Yeah bit of bad luck and think that is most likely our season done as well.

GG Reds, best of luck

Injuries are really piling up for me. 5 on the defensive line.

Not to down play any acheivements as those are great numbers and your team is good but they ran a heavy zone defense with a decent amount of blitzes with no help over the top. Ommiting a man under scheme completly will make any defense "not that great". Probably the biggest weak spot in his code.

Admiral Football Conference: AFC

Machu Pichu Incas 5 2 0 0.714 148 109 2-1 4-1 1W thanos4real

Alabama Bam'A'Lam 1 6 0 0.143 36 130 0-3 0-3 5L ricmoney

The Locos and Incas look set to battle it out down the stretch for post season positions. The teams and positions are going to fluctuate wildly over the next few weeks. Who will have a seat in this game of musical chairs?

Blighty W L T Pct PF PA Div Conf Streak Owner
The Fields of Anfield Road 6 1 0 0.857 227 90 1-1 3-1 3W TheAdmiral
Newcastle Magpies 3 3 1 0.500 146 148 1-1 2-2 1L Gustoon

Loch Ness Monsters 2 5 0 0.286 63 97 1-1 1-4 5L TimReeseJr

A big win for The Fields over Newcastle was amplified by the injury to the Magpies starting QB, Philip Crocker. Can the Geordies maintain a challenge without their star man? London hold an ace up their sleeve having beaten Anfield Road earlier in the year. They now look best set for a backside challenge for at least a wild card berth. The Monsters finally have a steady hand at the tiller and if they can redicover early season form, they could still have a say.


Europa W L T Pct PF PA Div Conf Streak Owner
Bordeaux Clarets 5 2 0 0.714 114 114 1-0 3-2 4W FortFranklin

Dublin Shamrocks 3 4 0 0.429 65 77 1-3 1-4 2L Beers

Not much to pick and choose between these four so far. I'm anticipating some classic divisional games at the business end of the season.

Eastern Bloc W L T Pct PF PA Div Conf Streak Owner

Moscow Mules 3 4 0 0.429 120 123 0-2 2-3 1L JakeJarmel

Week 8 could prove very significant in the Eastern Bloc with top playing bottom and second playing third

Punjabi Destroyers 0 6 1 0.071 64 147 0-3 0-4 3L KINGTJ07

Tunguska have blown away any divisional challenge with the Island Outposters looking set to cut each others throats, the eXplosion and Derweze look set to battle for home field advantage.

Down Under W L T Pct PF PA Div Conf Streak Owner
Tasmania Devils 4 3 0 0.571 147 101 1-0 3-2 2W Phareux

Queensland Jacks 1 6 0 0.143 55 137 0-2 1-4 1L NinjaNutt330

Devils or Dudes, the two meet twice in the final four weeks, ending the season facing off in Tasmania. Could develop into a Titanic struggle.

Hellraisers in total control here, Avalon and Sky Blues are struggling to maintain the red hot pace both for the division and the playoffs. For Hellfire, next season cannot come quick enough.

Mouthwatering divisional matchups to come on the backside for the Island Outpost teams.
