2034 Week Thirteen

by DavesGang

I think we saw two big moves in free agency this week. Cincy nabs WR Macallister off the scrap heap. He has the potential to put up big numbers in a supporting role. New England signs pass rushing specialist Bill Lange. He'll contribute sacks, and if used in dime packages his lack of run stopping ability shouldn't be a liability.

Arizona gets another scrappy win. This time against Washington. That's two potential playoff teams in two weeks for the Cards.

Green Bay gets back on track against Atlanta. What's going on with the Falcons? They looked like a sure fire bet for the Super Bowl, but have lost three in a row now. Atlanta brings in Super Bowl winning QB Deon Benton to backup and mentor for the playoff preparation.

Carolina finds a way to win against Chicago, and is again in position to take control of the division. Just win baby.

New England is getting it done the old school way. With big ugly linebackers and defensive tackles. This week they took down Denver's big QB WR combo.

Miami runs down Jacksonville. The gamble to hand the QB reigns over to Duran and a  RB based attack is paying off.

Tennessee showcased just how good their future could be against the struggling Jets. Shutout is sweet.

Eagles found WR Strom! is a excellent option... especially when teams overplay the run to stop DJ Emmons.

Buffalo had a really close game against unbeaten Oakland. A black hole. Turnovers galore.

Houston almost got a win against potential playoff bound Browns.

2034 Week Ten

by DavesGang

Just want to point out what I consider playoff worthy roster management.

Washington just added FA OLB Flemming.

His detractors list...

- His undersized frame, and inability to hold the point against rushing attacks.

- Some point out his lack of conditioning, and lack of football intelligence.

- Inability to cover a blanket in pass coverage situations.

- He will not be able to bull rush 300lb guards.

Bottom line is... Any team that runs a 3-4 or blitzes LB's allot should have already had this guy on their radar. He has the quickness and techniques to get plenty of pressure on passing downs. Last year for the Jets Flemming put up 8 sacks in part time duty, and given a chance we expect more of the same. 

Odd notes...

Tennessee and Tampa both played great games... almost winning against their respective undefeated opponents. Take the moral victory, and be proud...  I hate to say it, but the NFC looks to be the better conference so far this year....  Minnesota backup QB Mapels has thrown for over 700 yards and hasn't started a game yet...  New England is playing a great season. Just think what it would be if QB Hawkins wasn't passing out INT's like Halloween candy...  Carolina's young RB Arnold Lynch just went over 1000 yards... San Diego's secondary is becoming a strength of the team.  San Diego's Benton Weaver and Detroit's DE Tim Smith are classic elite players to win this weeks player of the week awards. QB Deon Benton wants to play.

2034 Week Nine

by DavesGang

Miami cuts ties with former starting QB Deon Benton, and declares Julio Duran "the Man".

"We had hoped Benton would be a good Mentor/Backup QB, but he doesn't seem to like that role.
QB Deon Benton is gone and Julio Duran is the starting QB in Miami. We had tried Benton early in the season and he did not perform well, then when he was benched to allow Duran play time he was unhappy. So we have decided to release Benton and give Duran the reigns. Time to move forward with this team..."

The Cowboys, Jets, Bengals, and Browns are all purported to be intrested in Benton.  The Eagle's may be one of the teams interested in Benton's services earlier in the year, but current plug in QB Brandon Baker just won player of the week honors.
Back to Miami where OLB Mooney won defensive player of the week honors for a huge 3 sack game.
Seattles all pro center Tyrus "don't call me cyrus" Miley should have won a award for his dominating game against San Fransisco.

Oakland and Atlanta are still both unbeaten. Come on spoilers! Atlanta in particular looked really sharp this week dismantling a very talented Rams team. Green Bay is officially in a fight with Detroit for control of the North. To bad for them RB Nick Stenstrom has a bruised his sternum so bad he is listed as questionable for the rest of the regular season. Ouch.

2034 Week Seven

by DavesGang

Happy Holidays Everyone.

A note about "the power of the front page" after Tennessee issued their press release they won the next two games...


AFC divisions are starting to establish who are the leaders and who will be left as spoilers.
New England is on a tear and appears to taking over the AFC East from Buffalo. The AFC North used to be one of the toughest... now the division is just looking middle of the pack. Indy looked unstoppable at the start of the season, but now just looks inconsistant. Denver is still chasing the big three in the AFC West, but needs to get Landry some help.

Over in the NFC
Detroit is defending well, but Green Bay is warming up for a playoff run.  Atlanta rebuffed Carolina's attempt to seize control, but just barely. Philly is fiercely defending the top of the NFC East, but the lack of QB leadership may leave the door open to any of the other talented teams in this division. Seattle's offense is still in control of the NFC West.

Odd notes...

The more things change the more things stay the same... Oakland and Atlanta are the last two unbeaten teams.  Reason for concern? Arizona is 3-3 with a -60 point differential. Reason to think things will improve? San Diego is 3-2-1 and has a +68 point differential. Jets DE Dwayne Okonlawon was placed on IR after hurting his knee. The Jets have really struggled scoring this season, and will now have an even harder time staying ahead of opponents without Okonlawon's pass rush.

2034 Week 5

by DavesGang

The Titans management issued a press release. 

We believe the Titans offense is jelling nicely. Averaging almost 400 YPG which is good for 3rd in the eNFL. Rookies TE Marlon Galloway (on pace to catch 96 balls) and RB Dixon Ramirez (with 369 rushing yards) are both making early bids for RoY honors. However, a turnover margin of -8 and poor defensive play has resulted in a rough start. Hopes are high as the team heads to Denver to play the struggling Bronco's.

Benton Weaver earned offensive player of the week by shredding the Colts defense. Indy's defense had looked almost unstoppable until this week when they looked uninspired. Carolina's DE Anthony Cole earned his first player of the week honor. We're sure he will earn more.

Around the league... Miami is getting some offense finally, but their defense is sieve like. Carolina is supposed to be defense based, but is number one in points scored right now.  Detroit was on fire until running into the buzzsaw of Eagles defenders. The Chicago Washington game had 5 different QB's on the stat sheet by the end of the game. The Jets lost starting QB Lincoln Harrison last week for lots of weeks. Backup Aaron Barker really struggled, and they may be looking for a veteran to come in and take over.

2034 Week 3

by DavesGang

Corey Money brought the "offensive player of the week award"  home to Seattle. He'll add it to his growing collection of trophies.  Houston and New England played a new kind of football... airball! Crushing records for number of pass attempt records in a single game.  Meanwhile Arizona learned how to close out a game against a tough Chicago squad.  Jacksonville got ohhh so close against Cincy, and WR Robbie Garrison looks like the steal of last years draft.

QB Fox must have heard the concerns about not earning his almost 2 million a game paycheck. Against Carolina's (potential) defensive juggernaut he looked sublime. Completed a scary efficient 15 of 24  passes for 286 yards and 3 TD's. Washington's OLB Mo Hudson won defensive player of the week too. Unfortunately the same time he was accepting his award... Washington management was holding a press conference stating they might consider firing the whole defense. Tough crowd. The worst thing is that the Washington D is going up against the desperate for a win Green Bay Packers. QB Reardon and company are just waiting to hang points one the board...

Prediction for next week's games? Carolina's defense will play make up against the Niner's. At least one of the unbeaten teams will lose, and one of the winless teams... might win. Miami is gonna shake things up against Cincy. The power of the front page!

2034 Week Two

by DavesGang

So I'm going to have to fire my research assistant. I just found out Washington's QB Fox signed the biggest contract in eNFL history (last year...) A whopping 205 million over 6 years. This year he accounts for 35 of the 200 cap. He better start throwing TD's or the owner is gonna start wondering where that $ is going, and just how much a TD costs. Speaking of QB's... Detroit's Brad Abate had a huge game. Winning player of the week honors for his 4TD's against a talented NE squad. Giants DE Ethan Flint won Defensive player of the Week for a 3 sack day against the the Jon Johnson led Titans.

Some big matchups coming up. Buffalo and Indy have a early clash of dominant D's. The Bills are looking for payback from last years playoff game.

Check out Detroit @ Saints, 2-0 Rams @ 1-1 Eagles, Miami tries to get on the win column at San Diego, and Giants Clash @ Falcons Smash.

2034 Season Starts!

by DavesGang


Rams QB Trevor Montgomry displaces Benton Weaver from the top of the "careful QB's list".
Indianapolis WR Antonio "Shady" Shrader goes on IR after he suffered a very serious ACL knee injury during his first catch of the season.
Teddy "Bear" McCardell won defensive player of the week for his contributions in shutting out the talented Texans this week.
Minnesota's new QB Dwight Coryatt won ove  many fans, (and won offensive player of the week awards) with his performance against Chicago. The 2nd year player completed 26 of 33 passes for 245 yards and 2 TDs.


Some fun games! Make sure your team is mentioned by sending me something of interest.
Tampa Bay 6 Atlanta 13: Almost had enough juice to comeback against the Atlanta Juggernaut. Ended up settling for FG's and coming up short. In a close game like this you can't give up on a talented runner like Nagel. Maybe they'll unleash him against the Ravens next week.

Eagles 27 Giants 30: What a game! Back and forth. Giants only had 11 first downs but lots of big plays. Jump started by a third quarter kickoff TD return. Followed up by 17 more points in the fourth for the big comeback win. Eagles will try to regroup from this heart breaker next week when Jax comes to town.

Buffalo 26 Jets 8: The Bills sacked Jets QB Harrison so many times I though he was Cornelius Patton. End of game.

Detroit 14 Green Bay 9: The Pack had the lead almost the whole game, but the Lions kept it in range and didn't fall apart with pass wackiness. Eventually it paid off with 14 points in the forth. Nice job holding the dangerous Pack to nine (especially without DE Smith).

Miami 10 New England 14: A close game. LB Gibbs was everywhere in this game, and the Patriots were able to play keep away when it came down to the wire. A Phin's game time surprise QB swap may have over thought themselves. If it had worked they'd be genius though.  Coles looks like the real deal.
