GG Jake/Mules. Your team is better than your record shows.

A bit of history revision, as the Blitz finally finds victory in Moscow.

'Nearly Headless Nick' springs to mind. Perhaps we'll get to finish the job at Anfield and chop through that last half inch of skin and sinew.

Good game, Monsters. Your boys put up a stubborn defense.

Next up Tunguska....Should be XXX rated with both teams 7-1

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.


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.

Good game. Mules had 7 straight drives with a FG! They need to learn how to find paydirt.

By the way you found victory here in October.. you would have no chance in December :D

Power rankings and stats, I've also thrown in something new - Grading players based on blocking, it should show which players are doing 'the dirty work' for your team and which are liabilities/show ponies.

Tweaked the formula to make it more Offensive Line centric. Should be a useful tool for free agency/trading

Good game XXX, I felt we were in complete control in the first half. Your team made some nice adjustments at the half and Firmino's early 3rd quarter fumble set us back some. 4th quarter saw Sadio Mane get his first 100 yard game. We've had to be patient with both Mane and Bobby Firmino who have been held back by injuries all season.

Andy Robertson completed the rout with his first pick 6 (the teams 4th - Joey Jones has 3 already) #BallHawks
