Well Barcelona didnt have the greatest run defense but i think they just met a Galaxy team who is just unstoppable right now.  QB Rohan Davey still hasnt thrown an int, HB Joe Aska simply is having an amazing season.  Up to this week he was looking brilliant but this performance was breathtaking.  At first i thought it was a 'bug' in the software when i saw the stats, i looked at the 'highlights' the game gives you and Aska was just unstoppable bursting through the defense time after time.

I think the Dragons were so down they just gave up.  Fair play to the Dragons offense for scoring a fair few times though and Craig had a great game.  Barcelona are currently like Austria, give either of those teams a defense and they could do very well.

Well you know how tough it is historically to play on the road !!!

Frankfurt are......

71-17 all time in their regular season home games !!!!

And 10-1 in their last 11 !

I would be scared !!

Cmon!!!

Paris might start lousy Kreinhagen as QB and that means they won´t have a passing-game at all.

FRA:35
PAR:14

[Paul-London]

Lousy ?? I'm confused

I would like to see Kreinhagen start, been amazing in his 2 and a bit games hes started.  It was Kreinhagen last year in Week 14 who threw for 400+ yards in a shootout with Paris.

Don't worry,Paul, Mario only ever trades his lousy players away  . Dunno if Kreinhagen will start - talk about dropping him in at the deep-end! And,  anyone could have thrown for 400+ yards against the Colgne defence last year!

[Mario ADK]

Hey Paul did you forget? It is Mario - FWLs trash-talker. i thought you want to have some good "stories" in the fWL?

[Paul-London]

Ha ha i see, cant tell sometimes if you are trash talking or not !

[Mario ADK]

Just checked the schedule - week 10 - Paris at Frankfurt - oh dear.....

i had paul sent me the play-play and i read it "live". oh boy What a hell of a game that was! luckily PAR lost so i still have a marginally chance for the POs.

Andrew you are lucky that my entire tool of offensive tragets is injured so i will be defeated against BER and you will win against SCO and that means that you will make it unless a miracle happens.

congratulations!

[Andrew-Neutral]

Frankfurt vs Paris - yes, what a game and I am gutted! I guess if my defence had held for one more drive, I could have got the tying TD. Who knows? Frankfurt's offence is awesome, though.

Oh well, 5-5 at week 10, and still top of the division!

[Paul-London]

Paris were actually unlucky to win that game, AMAZING comeback

All of your QB's have done so well in your system, who to start eh ?!?

I like Pablo Hernandez.  Claymores fan Lorne Callaghan originally drafted Hernandez and started him as a rookie, he did well his first few seasons but was then benched and hasnt played a ton since....

http://www.fwl.org.uk/alltime.htm#phernandez  (Brilliant in his only start last year)

Nice also to see Penkki do well after a rocky time during the bad years in Austria when their GM tore that team apart. Even now i feel guilty and stupid for not stopping that

[Andrew-Neutral]

Reminded me of the Tampa Bay vs New Orleans game from 1987! New Orleans jumped to a big lead, and TB kept scoring to come back, but couldn't stop NO scoring. It ended 44-34. It was Vinny's first start for the Bucs and he set a rookie passing record.

[Paul-London]

I remember that game ! I think Vinny threw for something like 469 yards or something like that.

He looked so great then !!!  I was happy to see Vinny do well after leaving the Bucs, he had a great year in Baltimore when he went to the Pro Bowl.  Last year sadly Vinny didnt look brilliant, most of his WR's were injured late on so he only had Johnson and the rookie TE to throw to but he did have a great rushing attack the last 7 games so he should have done a bit better.

Think Bledsoe could do very well with a healthy Dallas.  If Julius Jones doesnt suffer from the sophomore jinx then the Cowboys could surprise many

I remember the game as I watched the video of the Channel 4 show last week!

[Paul-London]

How sad am i ! Nearly got the yards right, it was 369 not 469 as i said.  Funny how you remember numbers like that though

I totally remember watching that in 1987, the opening intro music for Ch4 NFL back then was excellent, the Vicious Boys were idiots but the highlights package with Frankie Goes to Hollywood 'two tribes' was amazing

If you are near Manchester this saturday Andrew you can come over to watch the NFL draft !!!  Looking forward to seeing that Sat night

[Andrew-Neutral]

I'm busy at the weekend these days (trying to sell the house and preparing for some life-style changes!).

[Mario ADK]

yep Andrew. Please prepare for a life without ever having reached the playoffs. even after THIS regular season 

[Andrew-Neutral]

Oi, cheeky, I've made the playoffs once! I was unlucky to lose to a very close game against the plucky Dark Knights - was it 27-3?
