Dean Holmes: What the hell happened? Went from being a star in the making to being one of the most overrated and under performing players ever. Don't know how to get production out of him. 9 for 33 for 108 yards this week.

First time I've ever won a game while going 0/14 on 3rd down. The teams combined for to go 3/31 on 3rd down conversions. I'll take a win any way I can get it.

If it makes you feel better Julio, you're still hitting a better rating than Robbie Farr :)

Farr finally had a good game, getting 100+ rating with 400yds until a hamstring injury struck. Backup Stokes didn't do very well in garbage time, but I still laid a whoopin on Motor City. The Stags were doing well for injuries so far but it caught up to me, losing two other players for a bit of time. I figure we'll be alright as long as I keep stockpiling receivers.

I'm working with an all-new fully custom playbook featuring all Shotgun formation, mostly Spread offense style plays. Mixed results on stats, and a shaky start to the season being 2-2 but hopefully my recent changes to the gameplan will continue to get results. Missing the playoffs this year would be quite disappointing.

Damn... Another AI taking us deep in the game... We played catch up from the begining, I really wanted to distribute the ball amongst all my WRs like the Patriots, but I guess I will have to change that philosophy and feed Buckner from now on... Back to te drawing board, we are tied with PXT 2-2 at the Top of the AC East but Waco is 4-0 and rolling with the #1 seed... It's going to be a though season...

This New Orleans team looks drastically improved from the past few years, unfortunately we still find ourselves sitting in the basement of the uber competitive AFC South going into our bye week. The additions of QB Trevor Butkiewicz and our 1st round pick TE Bobby "Football" Furrer have the offense churning out an avg of 25 ppg. Besides a 4 int performance against Portland in week 3, Butkiewicz has proven so far to be the right man for the job. It was a tough decision to replace our previous starter Leslie "girly man" Capatina and his strong arm for the more proficient Butkewicz in our new OC's smashmouth system but Butkiewicz has kept the offense solvent while the O-line struggles as they begin to build some cohesion. Our defense is the definition of "bend but dont break" giving up over 370 ypg but still keeping us in games with 7 passes intercepted, bringing 3 of those back for scores.

Holmes had a tough game. Our defense has been quite good this season although there's no obvious explanation why. We added no star players, I rex the defensive game plan so there's no magic there, and we have little in the way of affinities. Cohesion is the only area where we have good ratings, but I'm pretty sure that's not enough to explain our defensive performance. Dice rolls? Maybe we're getting them now and it will all even out by the end of the season.

Also, our offense has been spotty at best and not at all good in the red zone. The loss of QB Kerr has really hurt us.
