Better to be lucky than good

The Ermines are a team of destiny in the Chiefs1 league. We gave up a pick-6 on the first play of the game against a 14-2 team that had beaten us twice in the regular season, but battled back and tied up the game on the last play of regulation. We then stopped our opponent in overtime and drove down to kick the winning field goal.

Fear the Ermines.

Phog definitively slew his White Whale over in Raiders 1 - one of the few ass-beatings in our annual matchups. Benton didn't have it this year and Tulsa was clearly the better squad so I can live with that.

I wonder if Tulsa can keep the streak alive. He won in '18 and '19. I won in '20 and '21. Every champion in Raiders1 has come from The Lunar Midway division.

Bring it home, Phog.

Yeah, every now and again I manage to hit the mix pretty well. But they still have occasional brown-outs like they did last week.

It's funny but Chiefs1 Dalton is WAY better than Raiders1 Dalton. Part of it is having better weapons and a better OL. But Chiefs1 Dalton is better than Mahomes in Titans1 where I have a LOADED roster. I refuse to copy gameplans because I don't want to fall into a groupthing sort of situation, but I just haven't been able to dial that team in (though they are undefeated so I guess its not THAT bad...)

Hey thanks. That was an unexpected score, usually they are very close. The Trojans will try their best to keep the streak alive!

Edit: My only loss this year was to Benton also.

I don't know how the Headhunters are still alive, my team isn't all that great but we did go 11-5 and made it to the conference championship game. Hopefully I can get over the hump and finally make it to the championship. Should be a good game either way.

Hopefully Dak can un-**** himself in the off-season and we'll be back to your regularly scheduled programming next season...

Need to upgrade some weapons around him, though. I've really let the skill position guys atrophy in Benton. Gonna need a George Pickens breakout season in a pretty big way and KaDarius Toney staying healthy would be nice.

I have Toney in Chiefs1 (who BTW I got stamped by the Ermines), yes it would help him staying healthy.

Gave me all I could handle, man. Nice run.

Onto Denver. One of my two loses this year and the only one where my offense just completely vanished. This was NOT the matchup I wanted to see.

Got one more in you, Red Rocket? You'll stand alongside fellow Columbia Cardinal legends Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Tannehill. Take the torch...

So you guys who are in multiple leagues in your opinion which one is the best?

Carr throwing a pick, with 2:51 left in a tie game seems like a very Carr thing to do. Follow that up by fumbling it over with 46 second left being down a FG to surely lose it. I'm surprised my defense held up so well.

this game is such bullshit, way too many fumbled snaps and going for two when the score was 22-26.

Joe Burrow sacked by Joey Bosa for a loss of -13 yards. Safety 3-WR offense, nickel defense. Blitzers = RILB,ROLB
Fergus Falls 2, Key West 0

also shit like this 13 yards for a safety give me a break

Is this the second year in a row that we've faced each other in the Sandbox Bowl?

I believe that Denver is a team of destiny. We've fought our way up from a wildcard spot, and had to score on the last play of the game to get to overtime in one of our playoff games. We had a quarterback controversy early in the season, and when we played Columbia in the regular season both of those quarterbacks were down with injuries. Our plucky practice squad quarterback stepped up for the win, aided by a dominant defensive performance. We're entering this game with confidence that we're going to do whatever it takes in all three phases of the game to win.

Ermine power!

QBs don't matter in this game either
