Week 17 Discussion

Definitely, the competition here is fierce, which is awesome. All four teams were extremely strong this year. This may have been the strongest division I've ever been a part of (albeit dragging up the rear with a 2-4 record), and with all those years in the CFL's NFC North, that's really saying something.

Well done, guys. Tons of fun to be in the competition.

Brooklyn not making the playoffs is one of my intended effects from trading Bigfoot to that division.

Thank you :) But they still beat us twice this season. They just couldn't beat anyone else, I guess ;)

I think this is my first playoff in OSFL. Looking forward to it.

*Edit: Huh, I guess we went 2-4, not 1-5. That means we swept Brooklyn, who swept South Maryland. We were swept by both South Maryland and Camden, whose only loss was to South Maryland.

So outside of division, the NC East went:

Camden 9-1 (lost to SFO 4-12, by 14, how did they manage that?)
South Maryland 9-1 (lost to CHI 13-3 by 6)
Brooklyn 8-2 (lost to PHA 8-8 by 5, WAC 9-7 by 15)
Boston 7-3 (lost to MOR 10-6 by 6, YUM 11-5 by 6, NOS 10-6 by 6)

Heading into the game I decided that resting our star players and getting healthy for the playoffs was more important trying to win the division and secure a bye. We also figured that New Orleans would most likely defeat Port City (the game was very close). We sat LT Tyrell Edwards, CB Amos Wedeman, DE Gabe Shaver and injured WR Wally Upshaw. We had hoped that our gameplanning would still give us a chance to win the game. We were wrong and now we head into the playoffs with a struggling offense that has averaged only 13 points over their last four games. We are also undecided on which QB to start in our playoff game versus New Orleans.

Wow the NC was strong this year and the NC East is the strongest FOF division I have ever seen. Lots of strong teams missed the playoffs this year. My guess will be that an NC team will win the Bowl but hopefully we have another AC champion.

After a slow start, the Phantoms found their rhythm and finished off the season with a home win against the Kalispel Stags to finish 8-8.

The Portland Phantoms will be pleased with their form in the final few weeks of the season after going 0-4 at the start.

Here's to a strong draft and off-season strengthening.

Good game alexbond45 and good luck to all in the playoffs. Great season guys.

Evil Garion!!! Thanks! First time BKL not in playoff in 6 years. Sucks.

GG Rando. You have a very complete team there in CAM. Good luck in the playoff and bring the bowl home..

The record outside of the division is pretty insane. I dont think i seen that in RL or in FOF.

Well, it looks like St. Paul and Brooklyn both lost, but we couldn't do our part and instead completed the trifecta.

The Bandits go to the dance and Boston will stew over the "just how many interceptions have you got left in you, Axel Erickson?!" question this offseason.

We signed the Maulers' old kicker to kick off against them today, but alas, he didn't give away all their secrets. GG, IrishGuy. Great season & good luck to you.

Wow, he went up into early Testaverde territory with those picks!

We had it rough this year, man. I had the 2nd hardest schedule and you had the first hardest.

Same to you, Rob. Good luck in the playoffs.

It was a good year. We were hanging around for the first half of the season, and then our schedule got tougher and we fell apart. Six of our last eight games were against playoff teams, and one of the others was against Brooklyn. On the plus side, we went 5-1 in the division which I'm pretty happy about. We're already looking forward to next year.
