Really close at the end but my OL is just good in Theory. Givin sacks, no run Space and safeties. Too much to overcome.

If INT number is hight, what about sack numbers !

I really think there is a problem as I Saïd before. A 96 LT can not give 3 sacks each game. Or he's not a 96 LT !

Good game Bordeaux, the wind made it tricky for the kickers. Both defenses stood up well but we ground you down at the end. Clarets were tough to beat last year and look even tougher on this evidence. Good luck going forward.

GG Shamrocks

Good Game Bloodbath. That was really close.

The Incas look to be in a pretty secure position going in to the backside of the season. With a two game lead and a 3-0 divisional record they look good for a second divisional win. Alabama look to have improved markedly and will hope to push for a playoff spot.

Calgary are the draw specialists with two already, effectively making them 3-5 at halfway. They'll need more than that down the stretch to see postseason play. The Locos look to have regressed from last season and probably need to win at least 6 maybe 7 of there final 8 games - tough ask.

The Fields have been battling hard with injuries all season but continue to find ways to win. A three game cushion is handy but the loss to Loch Ness keeps the division interesting for now. The Monsters haven't really built on that surprise win and must be a shade disappointed to be sat at .500.

Newcastle's defense has been like leaky bucket, if they can find a way to cut down the points against column they should be in the mix up for a wild card. London's 0-3 divisional record and 2-6 record leaves them needing to run the table (in all likelihood) to even have a chance.

I have to say I'm surprised to see Dublin with an 8-0 record but it's there, in black and white. Can they maintain this form throughout the season? Bordeaux are better than 5-3, but will need to show they're better than that in the second half to stake their claim.

Tonquedec and Oslo look to be battling to avoid the divisions wooden spoon.

The Eastern Bloc is wide open - there's something I never thought I'd say. The East German Monarx have the edge currently by virtue of a tie. Transylvania have been more Jekyll and Hyde than Dracula but remain right in the mix.

Berlin have found life tough with a first placed schedule but will be disappointed with a .500 start. Whilst Moscow are also laying claim to being the 'Kings of the Draw' and are effectively 3-5 but only 2 and a half games back from the division lead.

Tunguska have found life tougher going this season but still have a handy 2 game cushion on Kowloon. The 8 Dragons are certainly improving and alongside Punjabi and Shaolin should be stronger again next year.

The Captains just pulled off one of the shocks of the season to beat the Hellraisers in Derweze can they build on that in the second half of the season or will it prove to be a false dawn. The Devils and Dudes look set to juke it our for the divisional crown with the 'Surfer Boys' holding all the aces at this juncture.

For Queensland it's been a painful start and the draft looks a long, long way away.

Avalon require a miracle to still be alive beyond week 10. The Skye Blues look to be getting to grips with things and have shown glimpses that they could put a string of wins together.

The Hellfire are another team to have shown drastic improvements and will be buoyed by the Hellraisers shock week 8 defeat.

Tough sledding for us right now with back to back 9-6 wins and almost 150 minutes without a TD. We may be 8-1 but we feel about as secure as a house of cards and the schedule shows no signs of letting up with Alcatraz, Azores, Dublin, London, Loch Ness and Newcastle all on the agenda.

The D is standing up to the test well going nearly 15 quarters since conceding a TD (Loch Ness) keeping Bermuda, Bordeaux and Machu Pichu out of the endzone. This can't last forever we have to start getting healthy on Offense.

With 17 teams scoring 10 points or less your output is within the averages last week. Focusing on your overachieving defensive scheme....only one guy has had a reception of 50+ yards vs. them all season long. A 94 speed wr2 struck on a 3rd and 5 against a heavy blitz with no help deep. That’s pretty amazing to hold almost everyone on lock down for deep passes all season long!

We pass heavy so I can guess what our results will be but we rely heavily on these big plays. Still, this is a defensive code and it’s hard to look past any opponent as a gimme. I see a lot of teams as a threat in general as we blitz a lot and it’s a feast or famine approach.

Both of us are using different defensive schemes to get the job done. Is one more powerful than the other? Idk but it’s fun to watch. I just think when sacks are lowered both will be a bit less successful.

Staying healthy is playing a role. Our LT has 22 knee and I still think he’s our best pass blocker though he let up 17 sacks. So until he can’t suit up he will be the starter each game.

Good sack fest, Admiral!
Offense was hard to come by for me in this one. Hope to see you again down the (Anfield) road!
