Press conference with 49ers owner John York
Date: 2 weeks before first preseason game 2003
Place: SF49ers traningfacilitys
Occasion: Major changes in 49ers front office

God morning and welcome to the SF49ers weekly press conference. As you all know my name is John York and I am the owner of the SF49ers. We are now closing in on a new season and there are only a few weeks until the first preseason game against KCY.

On today’s press conference I have some very big news for the 49ers organisation. Our beloved GM since May2001 has decided to leave us. Terry Donahue has received an offer he could not refuse from his old employer CBS Spots. Terry has therefore decided to leave us from today’s day. He leaves us with no bad feelings and I want to take the opportunity to wish him the best of luck in the future.

After long talks with our consultant of football Bill Walsh we have decided to give the empty GM-seat to Mr T Northwood. His responsibilities will include all aspects of the 49ers football operations, including personnel decisions, college draft as well as trades and free agents. Mr Northwood will also be involved in the daily management of the 49ers football team. Mr Northwood will work closely with his mentor and advisor Mr Walsh and try to keep the well-known stile of the 49ers intact. Mr Northwood will also work very closely with our coaching staff on game plans, depth charts and other aspects of the game.

Unfortnly has Dennis Erickson and his training staff decided not to follow us I to this new era. This morning the players meet their new coach and coordinators for the first time. New Hd. Coach for the SF49ers will be Mr Bart Finch who has signed a 3-year deal with us. Mr Finch has been chosen primarily for his great overall skills in the game of football but also for his skills in motivation and injury avoidance. To help Mr Finch we have bought along Off. Coord. Dwight Scogin and Def. Coord. Karl Marttinez.

Mr Northwood and his staff will in the next two weeks work hard to upgrade the following positions in the 49ers depth chart ILB, WR and RB. That will be done either with free agents or if necessary with trades.

The team have a tuff preseason in front of them with games against Chiefs, Raiders, Saints and Chargers before they are ready to meet Chicago Bears on opening day right here in San Francisco. We have already sold close to 65.000 season tickets so if you want to see the 49ers from the front row this year, you better hurry.

I can promise all fans of SF49ers and the west-coast-offens, that Candlestick Park will still be the place to be any given Sunday.

Press conference with new 49ers GM Mr. T Northwood
Date: 3 days before first preseason game against Kansas
Place: SF49ers Headquarter
Participants: Several members of the bay area press

Mr Northwood:
Hallo guys and welcome to this short briefing. It’s only a couple of days since I took over responsibility in this great club and to be honest, I haven’t been able to do a lot of work since then. I will try to give you a short update on what we have been doing the last days and my first impressions of the team. After that I will answer a few questions.
We only tried to sign 2 free agents and missed in both. Carlton Gassman (LG) turned us down and went across the bay to Oakland and Dominic Burroughs (SS) went to Buffalo. We will try to make some minor adjustments this week but don’t expect any major upsets. You can always find room for improvement but I’m pretty satisfied with the starting line-up as it is today.
Jeff Garcia will without a doubt be our starting QB this year. He is well liked by the fans, and if we can keep him healthy, I am sure he will do great for us this year. We will most likely keep 4 QB on our roster this year, just I case. When I look at our RB I think we are in great shape. Garrison Hearst will be the front guy. Be with his 9 years experience he will also act a mentor for the other RBs. I think especially Kevan Barlow will be able to benefit from that and he will see a lot of action this year.
Fred Beasley is still one of the best FB in the eNFL and Jed Weaver will be our TE.
You properly all know the name Terrell Owens, and yes he will stay with us at least 4 more years. Tai Streets will properly start as our SE but expect great thinks from our two rookies Brandon Lloyd and Jim Bromley.
I think that will be all for today. We can talk about the rest of the team next time. Any questions?

SF Gate:
What kind of football can we expect to see from the 49sers this year?

Mr Northwood:
As long as we have the pleasure to have Bill Walsh in our organisation, i think you can expect some kind of West coast Offense. Lets call it West coast Offense with a twist.

Daily Review:
What can we expect this Sunday in Kansas?

Mr Northwood:
Not a lot. We will not take any chances with our starting line-up. I don’t want to see any of our guys getting hurt in an exhibtiongame. I rather go 0-4 in the preseason and have a healthy team in week 1, then risk anything the next 4 weeks. Beside from that I think we can expect a lot of running up the middle from Kansas. Last week 65% of their runs went up the middle and gave them 71yds. That we have to stop.

SF Times:
You have sold 66300 season tickets this season. Is that good enough for an organisation like the 49ers?

Mr Northwood:
No. I think we need to be able to fill the stadium to every home game. But for that to happen we need to build some club seats. Only 5 other organisations don’t have club seats and that hurt us big time. But that’s an issue for the off-season. Now we want to get ready to play some football.

It was a big relief for all the players to finally play some football. I think everyone got off to a fine start. I was pleased to see Jeff Garcia throw for 2 TDs and no picks.

Passing Att Comp Yards Yd/Att Long TD Int Sckd
5 Garcia 21 13 140 6.6 25 2 0 1

Next week Harry Curtis will get some valuable playtime.
128yds rushing with 73 of them from Bishop. 142yds passing is not a lot but that realy doesn’t worry me.

41 Bishop 10 73 7.3 32 0
32 Barlow 4 9 2.2 3 0
20 Hearst 3 29 9.6 25 0

Terrell Owens showed us that he still got what it takes with a couple of catches. We only gave up 1 sack but were on the other hand unable to get a sack of our own.

Receiving Catch Yards Avg YAC Long TD
89 Streets 4 33 8.2 15 11 1
84 Wilson 3 37 12.3 0 25 1

82 Johnson 1 8 8.0 0 8 0
49 Walker 1 5 5.0 1 5 0
41 Bishop 1 3 3.0 0 3 0

This week we have made some minor adjustments to our depth chart. Everyone in the 49ers organisation is realy excited about our first round pick Kwame Harris. It was vital for coach Finch to get him into the starting line-up. Therefore has he been changed from LT to RT. We have also activated RT Stanley Jennings. All this means that we without jeopardising our O-line can trade 9year veteran Scott Gragg to Buffalo. In return SF49ers receive a 4th round draft pick in the 2004 draft (5th round pick if he plays less then 10 games from start). In the last week we also tried to sign the following free agents FS Johnny Seifert (Fresno State), LDT Vince Holland (Cal Sa.), SS Kendrick Woodard (Missouri). Unfortnly we are now 0-5 in the free agents market. The free agents market now starts to look very tinn. We will properly try to pick up a replacement for FB Terry Jackson how will be out for the next 5 weeks with a strained patellar tendon.

Next weeks game opponents Oakland have decided to keep their star players on the bench in the preseason. Last week Rich Gannon, Charles Woodson and Rod Woodson were never in uniform. We will properly apply the same tactic, so don’t expect to see a lot of Jeff Garcia and Terrell Owens next week. That will give our rookies and backups some valuable playtime.

Official press release from SF49ers after second preseason game against Oakland Raiders.

http://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/sanfrancisco-helmet.gif vs http://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/oakland-helmet.gif

It’s a pleasure to announce that we have been able to sign a renegotiated contract with RB Kevan Barlow. It’s worth $1.2mil. and will keep Kevan in San Francisco for 2 years. As I told you last week we have not been very lucky in the free agents market. This week we try again. We had 2 names on our wanted list this week. SS Roderick Beem (Memphis), FS and Walt Bankston (Boston C) and for the first time this year we got lucky and both players will dress up in gold and red next weekend. It’s also a pleasure to welcome Andre Dyson to San Francisco. Andre was drafted by Tennessee with the 29 pick in the 2nd round in 2001. He will bring more depth into our secondary and sharer the starting job with Jason Webster as LCB. In return Tennessee will receive our 3rd round draft pick in the 2004 draft if Andre starts more then 10 games this season. If he only starts in 10 games or less the Titans will get our 4th round pick. This also means that Mike Rumph will switch to RCB and Rashad Holman will be cut. This week we also decided to cut SS Dwaine Carpenter.

This week we decided to keep Jeff Garcia on the sideline, and it was a pleasure to see Harry Curtis perform for the first time in eNFL.

Passing Att Comp Yards Yd/Att Long TD Int Sckd
15 Curtis 13 11 106 8.1 35 1 1 1

He had great success spreading the ball out to 9 different receivers and a QB rate of 100,2.
We also picked up a total of 128yds on the ground. Garrison Hearst picked up the most yards but also Barlow, Bishop and Beasley helped move the ball on the ground.

Rushing Att Yards Avg Long TD
20 Hearst 14 79 5.6 27 0
32 Barlow 8 21 2.6 6 0
41 Bishop 3 8 2.6 6 0
40 Beasley 2 13 6.5 8 1


SFO play of the week goes to Zack Bronson. He intercepted Tuiasosopo with 1:38 left to play in the third quarter and returned it 65yds for at TD. All in all it was a very good defensive game by the 49ers. We only gave up 215yds (170 passing and 45 running) and sacked the OAK QB 4 times. We managed to keep Oakland out of the red zone the entire game and won the game 24-6.
And to make a fine day even better, we didn’t pick up a single injury today.

This week we will welcome Aaron Brooks and the Saints (1-1).

Good times :) I'll follow along, just to see how it goes. Good luck!

Internal memo
From 49ers GM Mr T. Northwood
To SF 49ers front office and owners
Regarding: Players with ending contracts.

I herby want to inform everyone on our contract status of today. We still have 60 players under contract (7 will be cut before season start). Of this 60 players 25 have contracts ending this year. That means that more then 40% of our players will be without a contract at the end of this season. We still have some cap room left but we definitely need to be careful. Luckily only 3-4 starters will be out of contract and we will most likely be able to sign then all except one.

We are a bit over average compared to the rest of the league (38,93%).

Dallas (58,33%) and Arizona (53,45%) will be without more then half their team at season end.

The teams with the easiest job in the off-season will be the Steelers (20,34%) and Browns (25,00%). They both have less then a ¼ of their team without contract. At the moment it’s only San Diego that has cut their roster to 53players.

Of all players with contract ending this year its of cause Peyton Manning that creates the biggest headlines. The Colts have already offered him 2 new contracts that he has turned down. If they don’t cut a deal I’m sure that the Colts will use a franchise player tag on him next year.

Jim
Good evening and welcome to this eESPN eNFL pre-season show. My name is Jim and this is my co-host Arlie and Scott. The next two weeks we will take a close look at the upcoming eNFL season and all the teams. What can we expect Arlie?

Arlie
That’s a great question Jim. This year we are in the unique situation that we have 36 new GMs in the league. And I its not just 36 new GMs. Its GMs from places we have never seen before. How would have expected to se GMs from Italy, Spain and Denmark this year?

Scott
That’s true Arlie. But don’t let that foul you. Especially the new Miami GM Icy has shown his football knowledge before and will definitely be a force to recon with in the AFC East. As for the Titans (Italy) and 49ers (Denmark), it will be very interesting to see how they match up against their US opponents.

Jim
Now everyone has gotten their feet’s wet. Every team have played at least two games. Any trends you can pick up already Arlie?

Arlie
No i don’t think so Jim. 7 teams have won all their games and 9 teams lost all. But I don’t think that’s a big deal because a lot of teams have decided to put their star players on the bench. It looks like the general feeling for the league is; if we can get to game 1 without major injuries we will be ok.

Jim
But we have already seen a few season ending injuries.

Scott
Yes Jim, that’s true. Ravens have been hit hardest. They have lost their very promising Rookie FB Ovie Mughelli for 16 weeks and LG Edwin Mulitalo for 27weeks. Both have been put on injured reserves. Cleveland will be without MLB Brant Boyer for 36 weeks and Saints Stinchocomb will miss the first games of the new season with a broken foot. We can also mention that Donovan McNabb is questionable with a sprained knee.

Jim
Do we realy have to mention that Scott. That can hardly be a surprise. We will now take a short break for commercials, but don’t go away. We will be back after the break with all the biggest trades and new contracts in the eNFL.

eESPN eNFL pre-season show

Jim
Welcome back. We are looking at the upcoming eNFL season. With me in the studio I have Jim and Scott. Lets have a look at trades. What have happened so fare.

Arlie
A lot. We are only 4 weeks in to the preseason and we have already seen some very big trades. The biggest of cause between Rams and Steelers.

Jim
Was that realy a smart move by the Rams?

Arlie
I think only time will tell. We are of cause talking about the deal that sent QB Kurt Warner from STL to PIT. They did receive a 4th round pick, QB C.J Grimley and WR Randle El. But it’s an awful lot of pressure to put on the shoulders of young QB Marc Bulger.

Scott
I must agree Arlie. Bulger can very well be the next big thing in the eNFL. But with a volatility of 96 I think you have to be careful to put all your money on one hose. And i am afraid that’s what the Rams have done now.

Jim
Lets move on. Any other big trades?

Arlie
20 draft picks have changes until now. The only 1st round pick went from DEN to ARI. 5 2nd round picks have been traded and 3 3rd round picks. One of the 2nd round picks went from JAX to DAL when Larry Allen was traded out of Dallas.

Scott
Some very big contracts have also been signed this week. The biggest was for Redskins CB Champ Bailey. $37,08mil for 5 years. That means if the ever makes it to 2007, the Redskin ill have to pay him more then $10mil.

Jim
That’s true Scott, but i still think it was a smart move by the Redskins. Bailey is among the top-5 CB in the eNFL and the fans in Washington idolize him. I don’t think they had a choice. It was also very smart of the Rams to use some of the cap money they saved on Warner to sign a new deal with Grant Wistrom. He will now stay in STL until 2006.

Jim
Please stay, when we come back we will look on the brightest new talents in the eNFL.

eESPN eNFL pre-season show

Jim
We are back, and now we want to take a look on the guys that will dominate the eNFL in the years to come. What are the top prospects in the eNFL?

Scott
I see a lot of very nice young players out there. If I can pick three players to my team it would be Terence Newman, LCB from Dallas. Tyrone Calico, WR from Tennessee and Kwame Harris, RT from 49ers.

Arlie
We also have to mention RT George Foster from Denver. He defiantly has the potential to be a superstar. If we have to mention a QB we have to pick 1st round draft pick from the Bengal’s Carson Palmer.

Scott
That’s correct. He has already played ½ a game. He played the last two quarters this week in CIN loss to DET. He was 25-15 for 133yds with 1 TD and 2 Int. I will be very surprised if he is not the starter for Cincinnati when they play Denver in week 1.

Jim
That’s about it for today. We just have one thing left before we came inn here I asked the two of you to put up the best overall team and the best rookie teams. What have you found?

Arlie
I have picked the veterans. And If I could pick my team without thinking of cap of salary this would be my starting line.

QB Steve McNair
RB Priest Holmes
FB Jon Ritchie
TE Tony Gonzalez
FL Randy Moss
SE Wayne Chrebet
RT Kyle Turley
LT Jonathan Ogden
C Kevin Mawae
RG Adam Timmerman
LG Will Shields

Scott
That’s not a bad team Arlie. But I think they would get their hands full against the young rookie team. Maybe not today but in 2-3 years expect to see a lot of these players on the all-star-team

QB Carson Plamer (CIN)
RB Larry Johnson (KAN)
FB Ovie Mughelli (BAL)
TE Jason Witten (DAL)
FL Tyrone Calico (TEN)
SE Bryant Johnson (ARI)
RT Greorge Foster (DEN)
LT Vince Manuwai (JAX)
C Bruce Nelson (CAR)
RG Isaac Lemery (DET)
LG Eric Steinbach (CIN)

Jim
That’s fantastic boys. Lets keep the D till next week. Next week I will be here together with Joe and Erich and we will be ready with our first power ranking.

Press release from 49ers GM Mr. T Northwood
Official press release from SF49ers after preseason game against New Orleans.

http://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/sanfrancisco-helmet.gif vs http://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/neworleans-helmet.gif

With only 2 more pre-season games to play before the start of the regular season we are now ready to make the final adjustments to bring out roster down to 53 players. Already this week we have decided to make the first cuts. This week we have cut the following players: TE Brian Jennings, CB Rashad Holman, LG Dwayne Ledford and DE Sean Moran. The last move we made this week in free agency was the signing of RG Randall Tuiasosopo from Louisiana Tech.
The last adjustments will not be made until the last possible moment. We want to make sure we have the best possible team in the first game of the regular season.

As last week we decided to keep Jeff Garcia on the bench. We don’t want him injured in a meaningless game but we also want to take the chance to give backup QB Harry Curtis some valuable playtime. And I must admit that I am very excited about the way he handles him self. This week it only took him 13minuts to defeat New Orleans. Two unanswered TDs in the first quarter and the Saints never recovered. We feel very safe with him as Garcia’s backup this year. And for the stat-freaks. Curtis has completed more then 77% so fare this year.

But game MVP this week goes to someone else. A lot of journalists have questioned the trade of Andre Dyson from TEN we This week I think we have proved our case. Andre Dyson played his first game as a 49er this week. He have had very limited time to practise with his new teammates, but his performers on the field shows it all.

Good evening and welcome to this eESPN eNFL pre-season show. My name is Jim and this is my co-host Erich and Joe. Today we have a fantastic show. We will take a look at action from round 4 of the preseason and today we can also present our first ePower ranking. But lest start with a look at yesterdays games.

Erich
Today’s biggest game was played in Seattle, where the Seahawks met the Chiefs. And what a show. 65 points in total and then it all had to be settled in OT with a 50yds FG from Josh Brown. It’s also worth to mention that Dante Hall returned a kick-off 102yds for a TD.

Next week we can look forward to a great matchup in Denver when Seattle brings their prefect record in to town. Before we take a break I just want to show this. This must be the “comeback of the week”
It goes to Tim Couch and Cleveland. Down by 5 points with 2:20 left to play with the ball on OWN20. Couch moves the ball 80yds on 10 plays and throws the winning TD to Aaron Shea with 00:09 left to play.

Jim
We are back. And now with the list everybody has been waiting for. We have now seen all teams at least 3 times and now we are ready with our first ePower ranking. Joe can you explain how I works.

Joe
No, not realy cause i don’t know.

Jim
But Jim, please tell us what you do know about ePower ranking.

Joe
Ok. The power ratings are based partly on System 305, developed by Solecismic Software for use with college and professional football. Each team is compared to every other team in the league based on results of past games. Teams are analysed based on the score of each game, though there are diminishing returns for larger margins of victory. Strength of schedule is very important in this rating system. Then we run the results true our own computer here at eESPN using a very secret formula to get the final result.

Jim
Thanks Joe, that made us all a bit smarter!! Now lets cut the small talk at see what we realy are here for. Lets see the list first ePower ranking of 2003.

Erich
OK let’s start from the bottom. All the way down in number 32 we have Jacksonville.

Joe
They have had a very tuff start to this new season. They are 1 of only 5 teams without a win this year. But maybe that can change next week when they will play the #31 team on the list Washington.

Jim
If we move a bit up the list we find Tennessee all the way down in 25, down from last weeks 3. That’s a huge drop. Why?

Joe
Very good point Jim. The reason for that can be traced back to the power ranking system from Solecismic. TEN were dropped almost 50 points this week in the Solecismic ranking and that will have a big influence on the eESPN ranking. Things like this will not happen when we get a bit in to the season and get some more games to build the stats on.

Press release from 49ers HD coach Bart Finch

I have been asked by GM Northwood to put together a short presentation of our offensive line. We think we have a very good O-line with a bright future ahead. So fare they have only given up 3 sacks in 3 games this preseason.

C Jeremy Newberry
Jeremy is a very smart and strong C. He has never played football outside California and is from Antioch, CA only 43mils from San Francisco. Rookie in 1998 when he was SF 2nd round pick. The fans love him and we are glad to have him under contract until 2007.

C Brock Gutierrez
A very good backup for Newberry. A 6-year veteran from Central Michigan who joints us before the new GM and trainer team was in place. Only here on a 1year deal, but not impossible he will be back next year if he live up to our expectations this year.

LG Eric Heitmann
Back for his second year in the 49es uniform and this year as a starter. Picked in the 7th round in 2002 from Stanford. Very good blocking strength and some potential for growth. Under contract until 2004.

RG Ron Stone
At right guard, back for his 11th year in the NFL, 320-pound RG from Boston C. Please welcome Ron Stone. Will properly end his career in San Francisco when his contract ends in 2005.

RG Kyle Kosier
Another 7th round pick from 2002. Have two more years to prove he is the man to take over from Ron Stone. This year he will have to compete for the backup spot with newly signed Randall Tuiasosopo.

RG/LG Randall Tuiasosopo
Randall has just arrived this week. He has already showed that he is a strong leader. Will properly try out as LG and be backup for Eric Heitmann. Have signed a 1year minimum wage deal.

LT Derrick Deese
Derick Deese is very well liked and bring a lot of power to the 49ers O-line. From Gulver City, CA he played his college football at Southern Cal 10 years ago. Currently ranked the 4th best pass producer in the league. Under contract until 2006.

RT Kwame Harris
As the number one draft pick for the 49ers in the 2003 draft Kwame is already a favourite among the 49ers fans. And that’s easy to understand. It’s clearer to everyone that he will be a great player for this organisation in the future. We have decided to move him from LT to RT. An option was of course to let him sit behind Derrick Deese this year, but we are sure that he will be able to handle the pressure and perform already this year. Contract end 2006.

RT Stanley Jennings
Signed as free agent this year to a one-year deal. Rookie out of Toledo. Have potential and will properly get some playing time behind Kwame Harris.

RT Jerome Davis
Backup tackle. Currently inactive. Contract until 2004, but must start to show improvement if he want to make the final cut.

Press release from 49ers GM Mr. T Northwood
Official press release from SF49ers after last preseason game against San Diego.

http://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/sandiego-helmet.gif vs http://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/sanfrancisco-helmet.gif

This week I am not going to talk about roster movements. The final cut will be made this week and we will send out a separate press release when that’s ready and done. But what I will talk about is this week’s game against San Diego. They came in to this week with 3 straight losses. Their star receiver David Boston was a bit banged up coming in to the game. He bruised his ribcage in the game against Houston. Tomlinson was coming in to the game with a 6,7 avg (14-94yds). Like last week, we tried to protect our starting line-up and left among others Garcia, Owens, Young and Parrish on the bench for most of the game. Another player on the sideline this game was Fred Beasley. He was injured in the Saints game on the play where New Orleans picked up a sack. He has a sprained knee and will not be back in full strange for least another week. From earlier our second FB Terry Jackson is questionable with injury.

But all that didn’t realy mattered this week. Because a new and very unexpected player stepped up to the plate this week for us. RB Harry Bishop got the chance to start this game as Garrison Hearst and Kevan Barlow was saved for next week’s season premier. Bishop responded with 19 runs for 131yds. Only 2 fumbles kept him from having a perfect game.

Rushing Att Yards Avg Long TD
41 Bishop 19 131 6.8 61 0

Another backup player with a great game was QB Harry Curtis. He was selected game MVP. He can basically thank his line for that price. This week again the O-line held up very well. Curtis was hurried 3 times but never gave up a sack.


Passing Att Comp Yards Yd/Att Long TD Int Sckd
15 Curtis 32 17 173 5.4 35 1 1 0

He also ran in a 17yds TD late in the 4th quarter to put us up 21-3 and ended the game. The San Diego TD with 0:34sec left on the clock was just a formality.

I the other end of the field the San Diego QBs had a lot tougher day. 8 times they found themselves on the back looking into the facemask of a sacking 49er. And it was a different player each time. CB Plummer and FS heard also picked them twice. 8 tackles by MLB Smith and 5 by CB Dyson also help to keep San Diego’s number of visits to the red zone down to two.

The best news of the day was that we didn’t pick up a single injury. We only have to worry about getting our two FB ready for next Sunday’s game. Beside of that everyone is fresh and ready to play.

Now it’s just to sit down and wait for the Bears to come in to town next Sunday, so we can get the season underway.

eESPN eNFL pre-season show

Jim
Good evening and welcome to this eESPN eNFL pre-season show. My name is Jim and this is my co-host Joe. Today we have an unbelievable show. We will take a look at action from round 5 of the preseason and see what the power-ranking look like the last week before the season begins. But lets start with a look at yesterday’s games.

Joe
Last week we picked the SEA-DEN game as this weeks best match up. And boy was our prediction right on the mark. Its games like this that makes us love football.

Jim
To tell you the truce, the first part of the game was not that exceeding, but what a finish.

1Q: 02:40 SEA - Josh Brown 27 field goal.
2Q: 02:36 DEN - Mike Anderson 1 run.
2Q: 02:36 DEN - Jason Elam extra point.
2Q: 00:18 SEA - Josh Brown 18 field goal.
4Q: 12:18 DEN - Jason Elam 35 field goal.

And then the wild stuff began. With 1:55 to play Matt Hasselbeck connect with Shaun Alexander for a 5yds TD and bring SEA up 10-7. But Denver was not finished. QB Skip Tuttle take them back up the field and with 00:21 left on the clock Jason Ealm kicks a 27yds field goal to tie the mach and take it in to OT. The kick-off is a long one, 4yds in to the Denver end zone to Ed McCaffrey. And he takes it all the way. 104yds for a game winning TD.

Another interesting game this week was OAK-DAL. That was another OT finish. Dallas went in to the half time with a 17 to nothing lead only to blow it in the second half. In OT Dallas gambled with a 51yds field goal try to win the game. Billy Cundiff lined it up perfectly and kicked it straight down the middle.

Jim
One more game went to OT this week. JAX won over WAS on an 33yds OT field goal from Seth Marler.

Joe
4 teams came in to this final preseason weekend with a perfect record. NED, SEA, TBY and GBY but only GBY and NED managed to go true the preseason without a loss. Another 4 teams faced the possibility of coming in to the season without a win in the preseason. STL, WAS, JAX and SDO was still waiting for their first victory. Only St. Louis managed to break the trend with a win over KCY.

Jim
We will be back with his week’s power ranking.

Jim
Welcome back to the second part of the show. We are ready with our eNFL power ranking. And due to the fact that last weeks #1 and #2 team TBY and SEA lost this week I guess we will se a new top ranked team Joe?

Joe
That’s right Jim. TBY is down to #3 this week and SEA remains in the second spot. That means that our top ranked team on this weeks eNFL power ranking is undefeated GBY.

Jim
But what happened to the other undefeated team NED?

Joe
I am glad you asked Jim. You know that the eNFL power ranking is based partly on the System 305, developed by Solecismic. That system uses among other things starting-line-up strength to rate teams. That means that a team who decide to rest their best players will take a hit on the power rating. Here an example. SF49ers have but Garcia, Owens and other key players on the bench this week. They end up with a rating of 29 this week but if they had played what is believed to be their starting line-up in week 1 they would have a rating of 72. But lets take a look a today’s rating.

Press conference with 49ers GM T Northwood
Occasion: 49ers cut their roster to meet the 53-player roster limit for the upcoming season.

As you all know its now time to cut the roster a final time to get down to the 53-player limit for the season. The last week of preseason we carried 57 players. We ran the numbers true the super-computer at NASA and to everyone’s big surprise they have told us that we have to cut 4 players.

At a 5-hour meeting last night with all coaches and scouts we have decided to cut the following players from the 49ers final roster.

QB Ken Dorsey
From day one we had a plan including 4 QBs in our final roster. But over the last couple of week we have more and more abandoned that plan. It has become painfully clear for us that Ken Dorsey would never take a snap in a 49ers uniform. Ken is a great kick holder but unfortunately we don’t have room for a player with only that single skill on our roster. We will save $230.000 in cost this year but will lose $10.000 this year and $20.000 next year in cap room.

RT Jerome Davis
Never showed the improvement in practice that we hoped for. $380.000 saved in cost and $150.000 on the cap this year. Nothing next year.

DT Ross Kolodziej
It was a close call between him and Tarvis Kirschke. It all came down to the fact that Kirschke have great ratings in loyalty and leadership. That his from Fullerton, Ca also helped him. Ross Kolodziejs volatility rate of 47 against Kirschke 97 lead us to believe that Kirschke have a bigger chance to develop into a descent player (or be a total disaster). Releasing Kolodziej saves us $380.000 and reduces the cap cost by $150.000.

FS Ronnie Heard
With 5 safeties on the roster it was clearer from the start that one had to go. Ronnie Haerd was the player with the least chances of ever reaches the level required to start as a 49er. We didn’t see a lot of potential so the decision was simple. He was the weakest link – goodbye. That will save us another $300.000 and only reduce the cap figure this year by $70.000.

Our roster now looks like this:

QB 3, RB 4 (1 inactive), FB 2, TE 3, WR 6 (2 inactive), C 2, G 4 (1 inactive), T 3, K 1, P 1, DE 4, DT 3, LB 8 (2 inactive), CB 5, S 4 (1 inactive)


Before cut:
Cap used next year $66.590.000
Cap lost next year $2.830.000

Cap room this year $12.490.000
Max new player $12.720.000

Lost cap room $1.060.000

After cut:
Cap used next year $65.830.000 (-$760.000)
Cap lost next year $2.850.000 (+$20.000)

Cap room this year $13.010.000 (+$520.000)
Max new player $13.240.000 (+$520.000)

Lost cap room $1.070.000 (+$10.000)

Scout report on Chicago Bears

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/bears_65.gif

Chicago comes in to this game with a 1-3 record in the preseason. They picked up a win in the first week against IND (17-13). Since then they lost 3 straight to DEN, AZI and NEG.

QB: Fair
We will properly see 16year veteran Chris Chandeler start this week. He is excellent in reading the defends and don’t normally throw a lot of picks. He has played in all 4 preseason games. 54-36 (0,667) for a total of 384yds with 1 TD and 3 int. CHI can also decide to go with Kordell Stewart. They are both rated around 40-45. Kordell have only played in two preseason games and not with a very good result. 30-15 (0,500) for 208yds with 2 TD but also 4int (all in the same game against Denver). The two backup QBs is not yet up to speed, but will be a force to recon with in a couple of years.

RB: Fair
Anthony Thomas and Frankie Blair will be running the ball for CHI. Rated in the high 30. We think Thomas will start because of his greater speed.

WR: Very good
Marty Booker and Terry Glen make an excellent team. They will be running routs all day long and won’t be afraid to stick their neck out. To help them out they have FB Richie Anderson. He has awesome power inside and will not drop the ball if it’s thrown his way.

O-line: Weak
Chicago has a very good C Olin Kreutz. But will not get a lot of help from his fellow linemen. They have allowed 13 sacks in 4 games and we should be able to get to their QB in this game.

D-front: Good
The defensive front will be playing hard all day. They will be lead by DE Phillip Daniels and of cause LB Brian “Hilton” Urlacher. They have given up an average of 20,5 points pr game in the preseason and the Offense have only been able to put up 13,5 points pr game. They have 10 sacks in the preseason and allowed an average of 317yds pr game.

Secondary: Very good
The secondary will be lead by the Bears 2 round draft pick from 2000 Mike Brown how already have turned in to a very important player in the Chicago secondary. He will get help from a very good rookie Todd Johnson (from Florida 4th round pick). Have picked 10 interceptions in the preseason.

Injurys
WR John Crawford Out 3 weeks Achilles tendon
LB Warrick Holdman Out 2 weeks Achilles tendon
CB Charles Tillman Out 4 weeks Elbow tendon

Conclusion
San Francisco has a great chance to get off to a good start this season. We must put pressure on the O-line all day and try to force turnovers. This is defiantly a must win game for us if we want to go anywhere this first year.

Great to read !! very enjoyable.
I'm following your 49er career very carefully :-)

Thanks Darkiller. I have noticed that you are a big 49er fan. I hope to do my best to live up to a great legacy.

I was in San Francisco for the first time the year they won back to back Super Bowls (1989-90) and have been a fan ever since.

Week 1 in eNFL is up tonight and I hope to have good news and an update tomorrow evening (EU-time).

Go 49ers Go !

*Live from Candlestick Park San Francisco*

Good day and welcome to San Francisco. It’s a beautiful day in the bay area and a fantastic day to kick off the 2003 eNFL football season. With 69 degrees and sun from a clearer sky and a brand new football season, this is a day a lot of people around the bay have been waiting for. 69.300 season tickets have been sold but we hope for a full house here today (69.800). Both Oakland and San Diego are out of the state this week so this is definitely the main event in the state this weekend. If you take a look at the schedule for the 49ers there is a lot of interesting matchups coming up this year. If I was a 49ers fans I would hope to have the playoff spot secured before week 16.

Home Games in ALL CAPS

Candlestick Park looks fine today. The old baseball stadium used by the San Francisco Giants (New York Giants (MLB) decided to move to the west coast after the 1957 season) was opened in 1961. 10 years later SF49ers played their first game in the stadium. Now it is only used for football after the Giants moved into Pacific Bell Park after the 1999 MLB season.

We have talked to the new GM of SF49ers T Northwood. He confirms that everybody have been cleared to play today. San Francisco have been very lucky in the pre season and avoided major injuries. They only had a small problem with FB Terry Jackson and Fred Beasley. Both was probable coming in to this game but we have recived confirmation that both players will wear a uniform today.

Now over to Bob in Dallas waiting for the Dallas vs Atlanta game. How I Vick looking today Bob?

Game report week 1
Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers
From Candlestick Park San Francisco

http://www.phyrebird.com/users/dhmfl/images/sanfrancisco-helmet.gif vshttp://www.phyrebird.com/users/dhmfl/images/chicago-helmet.gif

The football season under new GM Mr T Northwood started with a touchback after a 79yds opening kick by SF49er K Owen Pochman. The first 2 Possessions by both teams was pretty eventless as they all ended in punts. On the Bears 3rd Possession they finally managed to get in to a rhythm. They took over the ball at their own 4yds line an in the next 5:39 managed to move the ball 94yds on 15 plays (well assisted by a facemask and a holding penalty by the 49ers).
With 14minuts to play in the first half Chicago found them self in 49er territory for the first time in the game and all the way down on the 9yd line.

1-09-SFO09 (14:01) CHI 29 Peterson ran inside the right tackle for 1 yard.
Tackled by SFO 96 Carter, assisted by SFO 72 Ahanotu.

First play is a run that is stopped by Carter (2 Tckl, 1 Asst). By now Chicago have called a run 14 times and thrown it 9. The next play is also a run, but this time the 49ers is ready.

2-08-SFO08 (13:15) CHI 35 Thomas ran inside the left tackle for 6 yards.
Tackled by SFO 91 Adams, assisted by SFO 97 Young.
Ball was fumbled and recovered by SFO 97 Young for 0 yards to the SFO02.

A key play by Anthony Adams (7 Tckl, 4 Asst) and a costly mistake by Thomas (17-72yds). The price of the mistake gets even higher when Terrell Owens (8-97yds) 16 plays and 98yds later is dancing in the end zone after his first TD of the year on a 11yds pass from Jeff Garcia.

2-06-CHI11 (05:54) SFO 5 Garcia pass completed to 81 Owens for 11 yards and a touchdown!
Extra point by SFO 11 Pochman was good.

With more then 5 minutes to go in the first half Chicago manage to move the ball in to the 49ers red zone one more time. They find them self on the 6yds line with 2:00 left to play. Only 6yds between them and a tie ballgame at halftime. But the 49er defence comes up big one more time. 3 plays later Chicago have to settle for a field goal.

1-06-SFO06 (02:00) CHI 35 Thomas ran around the left tackle for 0 yards.
Tackled by SFO 96 Carter, assisted by SFO 91 Adams.

2-06-SFO06 (01:21) CHI 29 Peterson ran around left end for 1 yard.
Tackled by SFO 91 Adams.

3-05-SFO05 (01:01) CHI 12 Chandler pass completed to 36 Pritchett for 3 yards.
Tackled by SFO 95 Engelberger.


San Francisco decides to let the clock run out and that leaves the scorer at 7-3 after the first half of football.

If the first half started slowly, the second get of to a flying start. A 25yds kick return gives the 49ers nice field position. 8:15, 8 runs, 5 throws, and 58yds later 49ers are back in the end zone. This time one a short pass from Garcia to TE Jed Weaver (2-14yds).

3-02-CHI02 (06:53) SFO 5 Garcia pass completed to 88 Weaver for 2 yards and a touchdown!
Extra point by SFO 11 Pochman was good.

SF 14 CHI 3

Next 3 possessions is eventless as both teams goes 3 and out. With 1:11 to play in the 3rd quarter Jeff Garcia makes his first big mistake of the day. FS Tod Johnson reads the play perfectly and the second its leaves Garcia’s hand its clear that it will never reach its intended receiver.

2-10-SFO36 (01:11) SFO 5 Garcia pass was intercepted by CHI 32 Johnson at the SFO47.
The interception was returned 47 yards for a touchdown!

SF 14 CHI 10

Chicago is back in the game.

The 49ers and especially Jeff Garcia suddenly looks shaken. And only 5 plays later he throw his 2nd pick of the day.

2-07-SFO48 (13:42) SFO 5 Garcia pass was intercepted by CHI 30 Brown at the CHI30.
The interception was returned 10 yards.
Tackled by SFO 81 Owens.

The panic is starting to show. On Chicago’s next possession the SFO deffens picks up 3 penalties. That helps the Bears to get in to field goal range and with a 44yds field goal Chicago is only trailing by a single point.

9 years of experience helps you in the eNFL. And in this case its also helps SFO when Garrison Hearst (12-35yds) break a 25yds run for a TD to get them back on track. But when a bad snap causes Pochman to miss the extra point they open the door for Chicago one more time.

SFO 20 CHI 13

And it only takes them 7 plays to cash inn. 10yds TD pass to Marty Booker (4-39yds) and we have a tie game.

SFO 20 CHI 20

The last 3 minutes of regular time is not pretty to watch. Nerves start to take over and a lot of dropped passes, sacks, and penalties are the result. And when the time runs out the score is still 20 – 20. We will need to play OT in San Francisco.

Chicago wins the toss and decides to start with the ball. They get it on the 37yds line.
First play

1-10-CHI37 (14:54) CHI 12 Chandler pass completed to 25 Anderson for 4 yards.
Tackled by SFO 55 Winborn.

Second play

2-06-CHI41 (14:15) CHI 29 Peterson ran inside the right tackle for 1 yard.
Tackled by SFO 98 Peterson.

And then SFO catch a break. Zack Bronson steps up and shows why he is rated in the top-5 FS in the eNFL. His interception is a beauty. Its returned 14yds and now SFO find themselves close to FG position. The first play is a run for 4yds by Hearst. Ball on the30yds line. The next play takes Chicago by surprise. Garcia has only completed 1 pass for more then 19yds all day. So when they see him drop back this time on 2 and 6 everyone is looking for the short pass. Its possible that is the reason everyone forgot about Terrell Owens when he started to go deep. But when the ball flew over their heads to a wide open TO in the end zone it was to late. TD

SFO 26 CHI 20

2Q: 05:45 SFO - Terrell Owens 11 pass from Jeff Garcia.
2Q: 05:45 SFO - Owen Pochman extra point.
2Q: 00:36 CHI - Paul Edinger 19 field goal.

Official press conferences with SF49er GM T Northwood after week 1 OT win over Chicago.

God evening every one. This was a roller coaster ride today. First I am going to talk you thru the game and then I am going to answer some questions.

First I have to say that I am realy proud of the whole team. They realy played as a team all day. It was realy important to us to get a good start to the season, and you can ask for nothing more then a win and no new injuries.

When that is said I think we have a lot of room for improvement. And we need that because already next week we go to St Louise and play NFC west rivals Rams.

Reporter 1:
What is you biggest concern after this game?

GM Northwood:
Nothing special. Just a lot of small thinks we can work on.

Reporter 1:
So you are not concerned that rookie RT Kwame Harris allowed 2 sacks in his first game.

GM Northwood:
When you play your first eNFL game ever you have a lot of thing to learn. I have already talked to Kwame in the locker room and believe me he is up for revenge next week. I am not concerned and still think that he will be one of the best players in the game.

Reporter 2:
Then what about the two picks thrown by Garcia?

GM Northwood:
I don’t think that you can blame Jeff. You have to reward Chicago’s safeties. They both made fantastic plays. And that what it is all about. Making plays. An Jeff and Terrell made a huge one in the end


Reporter 3:
Will this be enoughe to beat the Rams next week?

GM Northwood:
I see a lot of positive things to bring in to STL next week. Have a look at the numbers

Where is the STL game? :)

Sorry Mtaystl03. That was a nice win (for you :( )

I am running a little late here. I got the whole house down with the flue the day before x-mas. I can promise you that it will not make the day go any faster for a 3 year old, when he have to stay in bed the day before the BIG day.

I will be back with the STL games in a few days. And yes I will have to eat my shorts for saying that Bugler was a mistake.

But for now

A Marry Christmas from cold and snowy Norway.

Merry Christmas to you too!

By the way, that was just one game for Bulger. Look at how Warner is doing in Pittsburgh. We were lucky to pull that one off.

Good luck until we see eachother again.

Press release from 49ers GM Mr. T Northwood
Official press release from SF49ers after game against St Louise

http://www.phyrebird.com/users/dhmfl/images/stlouis-helmet.gifvshttp://www.phyrebird.com/users/dhmfl/images/sanfrancisco-helmet.gif

As a lot of you know, we never had a press conference after the St Louise game earlier this week. Their are several reasons to that. Some sickness in my family has taken a lot of time that was supposed to be spend on football. But the main reason the press conference was cancelled was that I realy didn’t know what to say. One the one hand I was realy proud of the team. With less then 20min to play to we had STL exactly where we wanted them to be. Up 30-7 and in control. Now Bugler needed to take to the air and that was our chance to pick him and close the game.
We had made our points in various ways. A fumble return, a run (trick play-run, 4yds by Tai Streets), a 13yds pass from Garcia to Owens and 3 FG by Pochman (28,32,31yds). Until that part of the game we had managed 20 first downs.
Nothing could have prepared us for what was about to happen.
A total breakdown must be the best way to describe what happen. The players that minutes before could almost walk on water now had problems making the simplest of plays. In the last 20min of the game we only managed one single first down and didn’t come close to the STL red zone again. At the same time I have to give it to STL. They didn’t have to be asked twice. 24 un-answered points was all it took. I don’t know who woke up Marc Bugler, but please don’t do that again!!! If I ever said that trading Warner to PIT was a mistake I apologize. Today he just played a fantastic game and can add one more to his 4Q heroics.

Press release from 49ers GM Mr. T Northwood
Official press release from SF49ers after game against Cleveland Browns

That was a very nice way for use to bounce back. This time we managed to play well for (almost) a full game. If we want to get the negative out of the way first.

· The 84yds punt return for a TD was not necessary. It kept the game close for a bit longer and was possibly good for TV-ratings. But it was a lousy play by special teams.
· We are starting to feel the injures. We are not badly hit like the Seahawks (8 players on the list). Tony Parrish is still 3 weeks from recovery and this week we will also need to play without DT Anthony Adams (out 3 weeks).
· Penalties. We are #6 on the penalty list with a total of 22 in 3 games. We make a lot of yards every game, but have given 151yds away already on stupid penalties.

And that’s all I can find to complaint about. On the other hand there is a lot of things to be positive about.

· A 27-13 win is always a god thing. And when Arizona is coming back to us with loos to Green Bay at the same time, it gets even better.
· We tried RB Kevan Barlow as starter for the first time this year, and boy was that a success!!


1-10-SFO11 (03:26) SFO 32 Barlow ran inside the left tackle for 89 yards and a touchdown.
Key block delivered by SFO 40 Beasley.


· In total Barlow ran for 133yds and 2 TD. Ad to that another 65 rushing yards by Hearst and we had a fantastic day on the ground.
· We make a lot of points. We have made more then 25points in every game. And they come from a lot of different players. We have more then 5 players with +20points already.
· We are positive surprise that our game plan seams to work. We have used a homemade model of the west-coast-Offense. We have seen a nice mix of passes and runs and have managed to get the ball to our RB, FB and TE on short passes. Of the 32 passes thrown by Garcia this week 23 was thrown as screens or shorts passes for less then 8yds. But it still gave us more then 5yds pr play for a total of 119yds.

All in all a very positive week. A relatively easy win put us back in the running. St Louise lost another, this week to rivals Seahawks. Next week will be a huge game when we go up against pass-happy Minnesota and Randy Moss.

eESPN power ranking show week 4

Jim
Welcome back everybody. It has been some wild weeks. New games to play, crazy plays to watch in the “real” NFL and playoff hopes busted in the last seconds. But now we are back to the eNFL and we are just coming off week 4. What can you tell us Joe?

Joe
Only one undefeated team left in the eNFL. New York Giants is one of the big surprises this year. They are off to a flying 3-0 start. They got wins over STL, DAL and WAS. Kerry Collins has been playing like someone from another planet. QB rating of 118,9 and 77,2% cmp. And with good help from Tiki Barber they are on top of the power ranking this week. They had an open week this week but have a tuff few weeks ahead of them with MIA, NED and PHI coming up.

Jim
Green Bay is #2 on the power ranking. They got their first loos this week (8-0 including pre-season) to Chicago. Brett Favre has already thrown 10 TD this year. If he can keep this pace he will be looking at 40 TD this season.

Joe
San Francisco has had a relatively easy journey this fare. 3-1 against teams from the bottom half of the power ranking. They will have a fair chance to go 6-1 before travelling to Arizona in week 8 for what can very well be a key game for the 49ers season.

Jim
That’s true. Arizona is another big surprise this year. They are up to #7 on the ranking. But they have already beaten STL and SEA from the NFC west and therefore hold the upper hand against SFO at the moment.

Joe
IND and PIT are our first teams from the AFC at # 4 and 5. RB James Edgerrin has been the big name in IND with 151yds pr game. Peyton Manning has been a bid rusty with 6 TD but also 7 Int. but he still got the nerves to turn down every proposal of a new contract. In Pittsburgh they still cant believe their luck. Kurt Warner is turning out to be everything they dreamed about. 9 TD (only behind Favre) and only 2 Int with a rating of 104,1 looks very nice and all for less then 1mill in cap cost.

Jim
Tennessee looks fine the #6 spot and count on them this year. Cowboys, Chargers and the Jets conclude the first ten.

Official press release from SF49ers after week 4 game against Minnesota Vikings

A lot of people expected this game to be at shot-out between Jeff Garcia vs. Daunte Culpepper and Terrell Owens vs. Randy Moss. It didn’t realy turned out that way. Instead it was a battle of the running backs. Barlow/Hearst vs. Onterrio Smith.
On his first carry of the day Barlow strike first. A 40yds run around the left tackle with great help from Newberry and a TD on the board. 6min later Culpepper and Moss connected in the end zone for a 15yds TD to level the scorer. A 27yds field goal by Pochman (7 for 9 this season) put us back on top. In the second quarter it was time for Onterrio Smith to enter the scene. He powered in a 2yds run in the middle of the quarter to put MIN up 14-10.
And it looked like MIN could hold on to that lead when we had to line up for a FG with only 0:10sec left in the half. A lot of people questioned our Hd. Coach Bart Finch and his ability to call plays. But you have to admit that the fake FG call was a pretty smart call. The Minnesota deffens was half way to the locker room when LaFleur completed to Beasley for 2 yards and a touchdown. And instead of going to halftime down but a point we now held a 17-14 lead.

Smith and Barlow both made their second TD of the day in the 3rd quarter. And with the scorer of 24-21 going in the last 15min of play, the game was still on the line. Pochman made another FG in the 4th quarter but Min was still within a TD 27-21.

What decided the game were two costly interceptions late in the game. The first came with 6:00 left to play. Culpepper tried to make a late comeback when Zack Bronson stepped in front of an intended pass to Moss and returned it 17yds. It only took Garcia 7 plays to move SFO to the MIN 1yds line. And from there it was easy for Hearst to power it across the line for a TD. Garcia try for the 2-point conversion but failed. 33-21 with less when 2min to play. MIN and made a last attempt. They managed to move the ball 85yds on 7 plays only to be picked off in the end zone by Julian Peterson for a touch back. Game over.

I have registered that eESPN have put us at #3 in the power ranking and think that we will be 6-1 when we go to Arizona in week 8. That would be a dream come true but I think that we have to keep the feet on the ground. I think we will be fine if we make it to week 8 with a plus .500 record. We will meet a lot of hard playing teams the next weeks, starting with Detroit this Sunday. They are 1-3 but have met some very good teams and will definitely put up a fight. Joey Harrington is questionable with a pulled groin.

The positive thing coming out of this week is that we can still put points on the board. 29points pr game puts us on the top of the list followed by IND (27,2). We give up 21,2 point’s pr game and that is in the middle of the league. We are the 2nd best team running the ball and 11th best passing. On defense we are the 8th best team defending against the run but only got 7 teams behind us on passing defense. We are the best team (tie with Kansas, 17 times) getting in to the other teams red zone and we make a respectable 4,7 Pt/Visit.

Internal memo from SFO scout Josh Lewis to GM T Northwood

Following player have showed improvement in ratings during first 4 weeks of season. Its very satisfying to see the big jump Jeff Garcia has made. That gives us reason to believe that he will reach his future estimate in the near future. It’s also a pleasure to see that rookie Kwame Harris already has started his development into a future star.

I loaded the old league file form before the season began and printed the player ratings. Then i loaded this week’s file and compared the scout’s ratings of all my players.

eESPN pre game show with Jim and Arlie

Joe
Welcome to the eESPN pre game show for eNFL week 5. We have now played 4 weeks of football and what can we expect in week 5 Arlie?

Arlie
I think we will see a lot of teams fighting to get the season started. This week we only have two games where teams with winning record meet. That’s ARI-DAL and TEN-NED. New York Giants will fight Miami to stay the only undefeated team in the eNFL. We don’t have any teams left without a win, but expect to see that a lot of the teams with only 1 win realy put up a fight this week.

Joe
This week we will take a look at the bottom half of the 20 players on the eNFL Green-page and see what they have accomplice this fare in the season. As you all know the list is limited to new draftees and second-year quarterbacks.
If we start from the bottom of the list we find SFO RT Kwame Harris, and he have seen a lot of action already.

Arlie
That true Joe. He was originally drafted as a LT but was moved to RT in the 49ers depth chart. In his first two games he struggled a bit. Allowed 2 sacks in the first game and didn’t managed to make a lot of KRB. But in the last two games he have started to get the feel for the game, and got an 80 BPct. He have played all 144 offensive snaps for the 49ers this year and according to a SFO scout is his rating already up 2 points.

Joe
Next on the list is another tackle Jon Stinchcomb from the Saints. He broke his foot in the first practice game of the season. He is listed probable for this week’s game against Carolina. He looks a lot like Harris and will replace a struggling Jonas Jennings as soon as he is recovered from the injury. The injury has prevented him from improving his rating.

Arlie
One #17 we find another tackle. Brett Williams from KCY. Played all but 5 snaps this season. 66 BPct and 5,5 OPct. Looks like he will turn out fine for the Chiefs. Has already improved 3 points in the first 4 games.

Joe
Jimmy Kennedy has played all 4 games as DT for the Rams. He got 11 Tckl and 5 Asst and a fumble recovery. He is currently having problems with a pulled groin and has not changed his rating from week 1. It will be very interesting to see what will happen in St Louise when a new GM are taking over this week. The person taking over would definitely had hoped that Marc Bulger had improved more then the 3 points he have managed this fare.

Arlie
Any word yet who will take over from mtaystl03 in STL?

Joe
Not yet, but hopefully it will be resolved before this weeks game.
LDE, Chris Kelsay is already a fan favorite in Buffalo. He didn’t play in the first game against New England but have played in the next 3. He has only raised 1 point and has managed only 4 Tckl and 5 Asst. He is a very smart guy and will properly pick it up later in the season.

Arlie
At #15 we have one of only two CB on the list. The #11 pick in round 1 in this years draft Marcus Trufant from SEA looks very strong. He is currently injured with a strained triceps muscle for one week. He has 1 int (last week against Marc Bulger in a win over STL) and also 8 Tckl and 2 Asst. Has already improved 3 points, and looks to be a top-5 CB in the league if his improvements continues.

Joe
#14 is the first QB on the list. Kyle Boller was drafted as #19 by Baltimore and has already taken over the starting job. Baltimore is currently 2-2 but that doesn’t change the fact that Boller has had a very rough start to his eNFL career. He has the worst QB-rating in the league 53,0 and has only thrown 2 TD. Add to that 6 Sck and 8 Int and you get the picture.

Arlie
To his defense, part of the story is that 6 of the Int was in perhaps the worst eNFL game played by a QB to this day. A 7-10 loss to San Diego in week 3.

Joe
I’m afraid that we have to wait with the rest of the list until next week because now its time to go live to San Francisco and the week 5 match between Lions and 49ers.

Game report from week 5 Lions vs. 49ers

http://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/detroit-helmet.gif vs http://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/sanfrancisco-helmet.gif

It was a wild rainy day in San Francisco. And it was a very strange football game that played out in front of the eyes of 68400 stunned fans. 54 points, 7 Int and a game decided in OT was only a small part of what the fans was witness till this day. To bad for San Francisco this was not a fairytale and did not have a happy ending. When James Mungro ran inside injured RDT Anthony Adams with the help of RT Stockar McDougle for 2yds and a TD with 5:21 left in OT it was just another loss. But before it came to that the game took a lot of twist and turns to keep everyone on the edge of their seats.
The first quarter belonged to Detroit. 14 unanswered points from a TD pass from Harrington to Mikhael Ricks and a 79yds interception return by Otis Smith for a TD was the result after 15 min of play. Jeff Garcia had 2 interceptions in the first 13min of play. In the second quarter the 49ers came back. An interception by Harrington and two TD in 6min by Garcia leveled the match a 14-14. A Jason Hanson 39yds field goal put the Lions back on top before halftime. By half time Joey Harrington was 4 for 7, 36yds, 1 TD, 1 Int and 1 sack. Not great numbers but I still think it came as a shock to everybody that happened in the second half.
We have talked to both Hd. Coach J.R. Jett and GM Mr. TredWel but nobody will confirm who made the decision to bench Harrington at half time for backup QB Butch Matsko. After the first two plays it didn’t look like a smart move. First play of the second half is an incompletion. Second play is an interception to CB Ahmed Plummer. The 49ers offense only had to move the ball 20yds forward to set up a FG and level the scorer 17-17.
The next possession for DET and Butch Matsko was 3-and-out and still no completed passes. Luckily for him SFO could not do any better and the Lions got the ball back on their own 5yds line. Another 3-and-out with an incomplete pass from Matsko. Garcia followed the trend, a –1yds run (by Terrell Owens !!), 2yds screen pass, and an incomplete pass and SFO punted again. The clock now showed 6:10 left in the 3rd quarter.
After and interception and two 3-and-outs Butch Matsko stepped on to the field for the 4th time. On second and 9 he managed to complete his first pass to Rogers for 11yds and a first down. On the first down Matsko handed to ball off to Stewart. He ran around a nice block from Dominic Raiola and past the right tackle. When the 49ers defense found him again 67yds later, they found him dancing in the end zone. 24-17.
Both teams then went 3-and out two times in a row. When Garcia finally got his act together and moved the ball 45yds in 6 plays, he made another mistake. From the DET 21yds line on second-and-7 he went for the end zone. Surrounded by 3 defenders Owens never had a chance. And when the ball came down it was in the hand of Corey Harris. Touchback.
But the sloppy play was not over yet. Matsko only needed two plays to make another interception. This time by Zack Bronson. 7 plays and now it was Owens dancing in the end zone after a 5yds pass from Garcia. 24-24
To no surprise Matsko went 3-and-out. 5:17 left on the clock. Now it was time for Garcia to move his team in to FG range to seal the game. He only got to the Lions 45yds line before he had to punt. The ball was marked out of bounds at the DET 5yds line and it was time for the 2-minute warning.
Most people expected Matsko to run down the clock and head in to overtime, but the game was ready to take another turn. Matsko suddenly was suddenly able to hit his receivers. Completed 14yds, completed 7yds, Incomplete, completed 19yds, completed 14yds and finally an incomplete. 4sec on the clock and time for a 58yds FG. Longest FG of the season was 56yds by K Doug Brien from the Jets, and Hanson was never close.
Overtime.
SFO won the toss. 1-10 from own 16 went –1yd. 2-11 from own 15 went straight to Otis Smith for the 4th interception by Garcia on the day. By now nobody remembered his 3 TDs. But it was not over yet. 4 plays later Hanson tried a 44yds FG to lock up the victory. This one was never made it to the end zone. 10 plays but only 30yds later it was SFO kicker Owen Pochmans time to miss a FG. This time from 53yds out. The deciding play came with 6:26 left to play. 3rd down and 2yds to go. Matsko tried to go to WR Bill Schroeder in the end zone. He never got the ball and a lot of people in San Francisco still mean that he never had a chance to make the play. Never the less was SFO Julian Peterson called for Defensive Pass Interference and the ball was put on the SFO 1yds line. 3 plays later it was time for Mungro to be a hero in Detroit.

eESPN power ranking show week 5

Jim
eNFL is now without an undefeated team. Welcome to this weeks eNFL power ranking show. We will take a look at this weeks list and see who have moved up and down. This week we got a new first and last place team.

Joe
New York started realy well and went up 10-0. But then it was over. 2 Int by Kerry Collins and only 256 total yds of offense was not good enough to beat Miami. Final scorer NYG 10 MIA 20. The Giants had to give up the first place on the power ranking and moved to 3rd. Miami on the other hand moved up from 19 to 10th.

Jim
The new tem on top of the list is of cause Green Bay. A 31-12 win over Seattle also moved them in to first place in the eNFC. This week Brett Favre had 4TD. He now got 14 TDs in 5 games and an incredible QB-rating of 120,0. At this moment he is in a league of his own.

Joe
#2 on this weeks list is New England. They jumped from last weeks #11 with a win over last weeks #6 Tennessee. They also have a chance of comeback-win-of-the-year. Just take a look at this:

Titans went up 27-13 with 1:59 to play.

Patriots scored on a 57-yard pass to David Patten.

Patriots recovered onside kick.

Patriots scored on a 13-yard pass to Troy Brown after a 44-yard pass to Bethel Johnson.

The score is now 27-27 with 0:56 to play.

The Titans went for the win instead of playing for OT and McNair threw an interception.

A 15-yard pass to McCrary and a 6-yard run by Faulk set up a game winning 39 yard field goal by Viniateri.

Jim
Wow. Another high jumper this week is Philadelphia in spot #4 with a 27-17 win over the Redskins.

Joe
Dallas moves from 8 to 5 with another win. This time against Arizona. Dallas is now 3-1 and that’s a surprise, especially to Dallas GM. They have unloaded a lot of players to start rebuild the team next year. But now they still making them self seen in a very competitive NFC East.

Jim
Pittsburgh with Kurt Warner looks frightening this year. Warner is the only other guy with a QB-rating over 100. 108yds by Jerome Bettis also helped them role over Cleveland 34-9. Until now we have had 32 100yds rushing games this year.

Joe
And the best rusher of them all you find in Indianapolis. This week they are down from 4th to 7th after a loss to Tamper Bay. Leading rusher Edgerrin James was held to only 22yds in this game. Comparer that to his last 3 games (224, 179 and 146yds) and you know why they lost this week.

Jim
Number 1 draft pick Carson Palmer got his first start and first TD this week, but he could not prevent Cincinnati from hitting the bottom of the power ranking with a loss to Buffalo. It will be very interesting to see what new GM Adamski can do with this team.

SAN FRANCISCO DAILY NEWS

http://www.phyrebird.com/users/dhmfl/images/seattle-helmet.gifhttp://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/sanfrancisco-helmet.gif

Controversy in San Francisco.

Coach Finch close to been shown the door!

It only took 6 weeks and 3 losses for San Francisco 49ers new GM T Northwood to loos his temper. And it was not the 13-21 loos to Seattle that made him upset.

The incident happened after the game in Seattle Sunday afternoon. The 49ers that started the season
3-1 but have now lost two games in a row had just returned to the locker room when new GM T Northwood stormed in and demanded to talk to Hd. Coach Finch. According to sources close to the team was Mr Northwood extremely upset and told Coach Finch that in a very clearer langue. Other sources close to GM Northwood have told us that the only reason Coach Finch is still on the sideline for the 49ers next week is because of the new eNFL rule that coaches and coordinators can not be fired/hired during the season.

The whole controversy started with 11:34 to play in the 3rd quarter. By then San Francisco was down 14-3 and had just returned the opening kick off in the second half to the SFO 18yds line. Garcia who have had a below average first half opened the second half strong with a 46yds pass to Ted Weawer and then a 3yds pass to Barlow.

First half Statistics
Passing Att Comp Yards Yd/Att Long TD Int Sckd
5 Garcia 12 6 52 4.3 14 0 0 0

4 plays later SFO picked up a delay of game penalty, and then the show began. Jeff Garcia ran to the sideline to talk to coach Finch. No one will tell us what was said on the sideline but it was obvious to everyone that Jeff Garcia and coach Finch did not agree. But based on Coach Finchs actions it must have been a lot more then that. Finch turned to backup QB Harry Curtis, who was sitting on the bench talking to team mates, and ordered him on to the field.
Harry Curtis played most of the snaps in the warm-up season and did a nice job but didn’t have a chance today without and time to prepare and get ready. His first pass was incomplete and his second was intercepted by CB Marcus Trufant.
And from there it was just went down hill. When he throws another INT with seconds to play in the 3rd quarter the game was over. Harry Curtis did manage to make a TD with 0:31 left on the clock, but by then it was over a long time ago.

Passing Att Comp Yards Yd/Att Long TD Int Sckd
15 Curtis 23 9 110 4.7 39 1 2 1


This looks to be a new trend among HD. Coaches in the eNFL to bench the star QB. It happened last week in the game against the Lions when Joey Harrington was put on the bench for no obvious reason and this week it also happen for Phili, Oakland, Buffalo and others.

Jeff Garcia didn’t play a very good first half, but he have proven his ability to put points on the board in the other matches this year and is still in the top-3 for points pr game this year. Seattle did manage to shut down the SFO running game this week.

Rushing Att Yards Avg Long TD
20 Hearst 10 59 5.9 27 0
32 Barlow 10 47 4.7 19 0

And nobody made a big splash in the reciving game.

40 Beasley 2 19 9.5 2 11 0
89 Streets 2 53 26.5 2 39 1
32 Barlow 2 5 2.5 3 3 0


On defense the 49ers did a very nice job closing down the Seattle passing game. They only allowed a total of 93yds passing (4th best this season. Cardinals best with only 63yds allowed against Ravens). The total of 253yds allowed is also the best by the SFO defense this year.

But all this realy doesn’t matter. Next week defending Super Bowl Champs Tamper Bay is coming in to town. They are coming in with 3 straight wins and will just love to put us below .500 for the first time this year.

We need to get the problems with coach Finch and Jeff Garcia out of the way before that, or it could be realy ugly in San Francisco.

eESPN power ranking show week 5

Jim
Good evening and welcome to the eESPN power ranking show for the eNFL. And I promise you that this was a very strange week.

Arlie
That’s true Jim. What happen this week in the eNFL I don’t think has happen ever before in professional sport. I’m sure that the odds for this to happen were pretty good.

Jim
The big story this night is of cause that all 14 starting QB for the visiting teams this week was benched in the 3rd or 4th quarter for no obvious reason. Some had below average games, some average games and some very good game, but all were taken to the bench for the backup up QB to finish the game.

Arlie
And some were even pulled in the middle of a series.

Joe
Strangely enough the visiting teams still managed to win 8 games this week, but I realy think we need to look at this as a mental breakdown among Hd. Coaches this week.

Arlie
I totally agree Joe. If they were computers we would properly have called it a **BUG**. But lets get back to what we are realy here for. What happen on the power ranking this week?

Joe
It has now settled down a bit. Now we don’t see the big changes week after week now and most teams has found a rhythm. And the best rhythm the still have in Green Bay. This week Favre put 3 mores TDs on his resume, and let GBY to an easy victory over Kansas. And that was not the only think Kansas lost this week. Specialist punt-kick retuner Dantè Hall may never play football again. He has been diagnosed with repetitive concussion syndrome and will be out for 94 weeks!! That’s the same as saying that he will never see eNFL action again.

Arlie
That realy sad. Biggest game this week was Last weeks # 2 against last weeks # 3, New England vs. New York. It was a close one where no team gave away more the 300yds. It all came down to that NYG was able to get the ball in to the end zone two times and NED had to settle for FG.

Joe
And 3 Int by Brady of cause didn’t help much. He is now on the top of the Int-list with 14 picks (tie with Mark Brunell). You can properly argue if that’s a surprise or not, but you cannot argue that the player leading the list with fewest Int is a huge surprise.

Arlie
He is actually co-leading it with Brett Favre and that is not a surprise.

Joe
True Arlie. But the fact that Dallas QB Quincy Carter had his first Int this year today in a 6-3 win over the Eagles is a huge surprise and add to that that the still haven’t made their first fumble. That’s a big reason they are now 4-1 and # 3 in this weeks power ranking.

Arlie
This week a RB broke the magic 200Yds in a single game for the second time this year. IND RB Edgerrin James did it in week to against Tennessee (224yds). This week Jamal Lewis managed 207yds and 2TD against Arizona in a 24-13 win. That takes BAL to #12 in the power ranking and drop Arizona down the list to #21.

Joe
On the reviving side only 3 players have picked up more then 500yds. PIT FL Plaxico Burress (50-33-586yds), CAR FL Muhsin Muhammad (58-34-515yds) and NJY SE Wayne Chrebet (44-26-510yds). Muhsin Muhammad had the best week off the three with 168yds in the 20-30 loss to IND.

Arlie
New sack leader in eNFL is TEN DE Jevon Kearse. He got to HOU QB 3 times this week in a 13-3 win and now top the league with 7,5 sacks this year. Three players sharer the lead in Int. William Peterson CB NYK, Deon Grant S CAR and Zack Bronson S SFO all have 5 picks.

SAN FRANCISCO DAILY NEWS

Time to kiss and cover up

The day after the star QB Jeff Garcia and Hd. Coach Finch almost got in a fight on the sideline in Seattle everything looks normal inside the 49ers training facility today. In a press release signed by QB Jeff Garcia, Hd. Coach Bart Finch and GM T Northwood San Francisco 49ers try to tell the world that nothing realy happened and that Jeff Garcia as only taken out of the game due to injury.
But not a lot of people buy that story.
Hectic meeting activity was taking place this morning, with all players and coaches being called in to a team meeting before today’s practice. After the meeting no one wanted to talk to us about what happen yesterday and everybody referred to the official press release.
According to that same press release Jeff Garcia will start next weeks game against Tamper Bay, a game the 49ers need to win if the want to have a chance to reach this years playoff.

In a related press release commissioner of the eNFL Mr TredWel is now threatening to suspend further games until a independent group have had a chance to look in to what happen last week when all 14 visiting QBs was benched during the second half of the game.
The rumour-mill has already started to send out storeys blaming this on everyone from the Italian and Chinese mob, Las Vegas gambling syndicates, The France and other dark powers.
We will follow this story closely in the weeks to come.

Hey, sorry I haven't been reading much lately, but thanks for the mention of Chris Kelsay! We're really high on him here in Buffalo. He would have been a starter from the get-go, but he was probable in Week 1, and since his mentor, Keith McKenzie, still has some motor in him, we figured we'd sit Chris out that one week, to make sure he was healthy when he got in there. We really like both our young DE's here, and think that in a year or two they will be giving the opposition fits.

Jim
Good evening and welcome to the eESPN power ranking show for the eNFL. Everything is back to normal. After what happened last week I think that everyone was realy pleased to see that everything seems to be back to normal this week in the eNFL.

Arlie
And this week we had some realy great games. Green Bay looks unstoppable right now. They are on a role and this week St Louise got in the way.

Jim
It was realy scary to see. Marc Bulger played one of his best games this season with great help from Isaac Bruce and still it was not enough.

Passing Att Comp Yards Yd/Att Long TD Int Sckd
10 Bulger 51 31 349 6.8 39 3 1 2

Receiving Catch Yards Avg YAC Long TD
80 Bruce 9 148 16.4 13 39 2


And of cause again this week the difference was Brett Favre. Another 4 TD to 4 different revivers. He is just a nightmare for every defence in the league.

Passing Att Comp Yards Yd/Att Long TD Int Sckd
4 Favre 34 22 263 7.7 40 4 1 1


Arlie
It will be interesting to see how next weeks bye-week will affect them. Some will say that it can break the rhythm when you are in the zone like they are at the moment. On the other hand it will give them some time to solve the injury problems they are now facing. It will be interesting to see if MIN can take advantage of the problems they have in the secondary, when they meet in 2 weeks time. At the moment it looks like they will still be missing FS Darren Sharper (4 weeks), CB Bryant Westbrook (12 weeks) and SLB Hannibal Navies (26weeks) for their next game. But for now they are way out in front in the power ranking. St Louise still struggles down at # 25.

Jim
Another hot team is the New York Giant. They managed to sneak out another win this week and are now 5-1 in the second spot in the power ranking.

Arlie
But this week it was realy close against PHI. They were up by 24-7 coming in to the 4th quarter. The points was put on the board by two returned interceptions and the second TD of the year by Jeremy Shockey on a 63yds reception from Collins. But Donovan McNabb scared everyone in New York when he first was the man behind an early TD in the 4th quarter and with 1:51 left to play connected with Freddie Mitchell for a 5yds pass for another. With 1:51 left on the clock and 3 timeouts, down by 3 points PHI decided not to try the onside kick. But after 4 straight runs by Tiki Baber, Collins could take a knee and end the match.
New York remains in the second spot in the power ranking and PHI drops from 9 to 11.

Jim
At #3 in the power ranking we find a team who have slowly snicked in to the top-3. We have not mentioned Miami a lot this year, but now is the time. Miami is one of the eNFL teams with an overseas GM and he has worked magic. This week the team showed their potential against New England.
One of the reasons Miami have claimed on the rankings if of cause that Ricky Williams have started to perform. He has now 4 games with +100yds rushing and the last two games he have +150yds (156 – 151yds). In this weeks win two defensive players turned in big games. FS Bock Marion recorded 11 Tckls and 2 Asst. and is second to Zach Thomas in tackles on the Miami team.
CB Sam Madison intercepted Brady two times this week and also had a big hand in the win with the last INT coming with only 1:16 left to play.

Arlie
Watch out everybody. They are back. Super Bowl Champs Tamper Bay is back in form. The latest team to feel that was the 49ers this week. Tamper lost the two first games of the year and a lot of people didn’t expect to see them again this year. But the have turned the ship around and have now won 4 in a row. This week they didn’t have to do a lot. The 49ers almost self-destructed. Only 5 first downs and a season recode-low 153 total yards and 0 –nil- points in the entire game was sad to watch. The running game was non-excising with Barlow and Hearst combining for 28yds and no reviver had more then 40yds. Terrell Owens had a very sad day. He was targeted 7 times but didn’t manage to come up with a single catch on the day. Jeff Garcia was 25-8-104yds.
113yds by Pittman and 17 points was more then enough for Tampa.

Jim
Souses in San Francisco blame the bad results in the last games on injuries to a hard pressed O-line. All 3 starters, Derrick Deese, Kwame Harris and Jerremy Newberry is on the injury list for up to 4 weeks and that makes Jeff Garcia hurry his passes.

Arlie
Tennessee now holds the 5 spot in the power ranking. They had a pretty wild game his week against Carolina. McNair quickly gave the Titans a 17 points lead only to see Carolina come back with 17poinst of their own to level the match. With 3:05 left in the mach Tennessee was sure they have secured the mach with a TD-run from Robert Holcombe. But Carolina was not ready to qiuet. 5 plays on 1:29 and 54yds later, Walter Young pulled in a 42yds pass from Rodney Peete to level the match again. Now the clock was down to 1:39. But that was all Tennessee needed to set Gary Anderson up for the winning 43yds field goal.

Jim
We are back with the ePower ranking and a look at the teams in the bottom half. The Redskins in back as the lowest ranked team in the eNFL with their 1-6 record. This week they were close. They lost a low scoring game against Buffalo in OT. One of their big problems this season is 3rd down. Until now they have had 100 3rd down situations and only managed to convert 26. That is by fare the worst in the league.

Arlie
Another place they have problems is running the ball. Only 76.8Yds pr game and it looks like the country’s best running back will go to Washington this year with perhaps the number one draft-pick.

Jim
When you are down in this end of the list you cannot expect to get any help. That must be the way the feel in Carolina. They almost had the Titans number after fighting back from a 17 points deficit. But had to see it all taken away from them on a 43yds FG by Gary Anderson in the last second of the game.

Arlie
Carolina is not a bad team. Maybe they are 1-5 but the have been very unlucky. In the 5 games they lost they only lost by an aveg. of 4.6 points. I think we will se some wins but this team in the weeks to come.

Jim
Only two teams among the bottom ten managed a win this week. In Cincinnati we have a new GM this week. He has already made some major changes and it looks like it works. The biggest changes was of cause to put Jon Kitna on the bench and give the team to #1 draft pick Carson Plamer. And this week he showed why he was the number one pick. With only 0:46 left to play he made the perfect throw to Antoine Matthews for 21yds and the winning TD against the Ravens. I think they made the right decision in Cincinnati.

Arlie
The other winning team from the bottom ten was Atlanta. For the first time this year Atlanta’s offensive line managed to defend Michael Vick, and he responded by helping the Falcons to 41 points on the day. That was more then enough to win over New Orleans. In this game Ray Buchanan intercepted Books twice and returned both for TDs (40and 63yds).

Transcript from interview with 49ers GM Mr. T Northwood before game against the Cardinals


Its only a few weeks ago that eESPN expected us to be 6-1 before the Arizona game. Here we are in Arizona this week but with 4 straight losses and a 3-4 record. We have a lot of thing to prove this week and we still have a lot to play for. Nobody in eNFC west has pulled away and that will hopefully be our chance, but then we have to start playing already this week. With our bye week coming up next week it wood be nice to get a win to take off a bit of pressure on the team.

The last weeks our defence has been playing pretty good football but now its time for the offence to start putting points on the board again. We need to get the football in the hands of our WR. That will also help our RB to get some more room to get downfield. Of cause we will be a bit stretched as a lot of our starting O-line is injured. Luckily most of the injures is not that serious and with the bye week coming up hopefully some of the players will be able to play this week.

We will play a team this week that have had a season looking a bit like ours. They came out hot but have had a hard time keeping up the steam after that. They need a win as well if they want to stay in the run for the conference win. Our coordinators have been spending most of the week in the film-room and tried to put together a solid game plan for this weeks game. On Offense we will properly go back to basic. We have tried to run a variation of the west-coast-Offense and thud that we were on to something. But looking at the last week’s results it looks like our opponents realy have our number. To counter that we are starting over from scratch this week on Offense. The defensive side of the ball looks fine and will only see small changes to optimise them to counter what-ever Arizona will come up with this week.

On the QB position the Cardinals will start Jeff Blake for the 6th time this year. He has had a very average year. His biggest problem is getting the ball in to the hand of the receivers. He has only completed 47.2 Pct of his only 161 passes until now.

Emmitt Smith had his best game of this season against Baltimore 2 weeks ago, 57yds on 15 attempts. He will properly sharer responsibility with Arizonans leading rusher this year Marcel Shipp (44 Att, 227yds). Arizona is still waiting for their fist rushing TD of the year.

Arizona still doesn’t have a receiver this year with more then 100yds in a single game (No receiver in the eNFL has yet received 200yds in a single game). Bryant Johnson, Anquan Boldin and Freddie Jones are all waiting for the big game. Johnson is already rated 4 points higher then in week 1, but Boldin is developing slowly and is only up 1 point.

The O-line is holding up pretty good. The have only given up 10 sacks. The weak point will be RG Chris Dishman with 4 scks allowed and LT L.J. Shelton playing with a sprained knee.

On D-III we have to look up for the Cardinals best player. Ronald McKinnon is a true leader on defends. He leads the team with 50 Tack (15 more then # 2) and 15 Asst. He also got 1 sck and a team record 4 Ints. Arizona has managed to pick a total of 10 Ints and is tied for 5th in the turnover statistic.

Arizona has a perfect 2-0 record against teams from eNFC west.

This is a must win game and if we can succeed we will be on top of the eNFC West. But for that to happen we have to show up and play a lot better then we did last week.

San Francisco Daily News


49ers back with a blast.

After a few weeks with embracing results from the 49ers they are now back with a blast. Last week they were shot out in the home game against Tamper Bay, but this week the offense was back with a vengeance. 5 TDs, 3 FG and a total of 44 points was more then enough to win in Arizona.

This was an important win for San Francisco in many aspects. It was important to get a win before the bye week and get some confidence back in to the team. But equally important was the fact that this was the first win against an eNFC West rival.
Seattle got a win this week in a very close game against the Bengal’s. They won 18-17 on the road after Cincinnati made the first 17 points of the game. St. Louis lost 28-17 to their old QB Kurt Warner in PIT. This puts SFO back on top in eNFC West.


49ers 4-4
Cardinals 3-4
Seahawks 3-4

Game report from week 8 Cardinals vs. 49ers

http://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/sanfrancisco-helmet.gifhttp://www.phyrebird.com/~dhmfl/images/arizona-helmet.gif


Only 55400 had turned up to see the battle for the top spot in eNFC West and for the home fans it became a long day in the sun. After playing 3 games in rain and loosing them all, it looked like the San Francisco team was glad to be back in the sunshine. And after being shout out last week against Tamper (SFO is the only team in eNFL with a game 0 point game) the 49ers was realy out to show that they could still put points on the board.
It was Arizona to make the first strike and it came on a 49ers mistake. A fumble by Garrison Hearst was returned 38yds for an easy TD for backup safety Justin Lucas. Part of the damaged was repaired on the kick off return when Cedrick Wilson returned it 47yds to the AZI 34yds-line. The offense still looked a bit insecure after last weeks collapse and only managed to set up a 45yds FG. 3-7.
The 49ers defense still managed to hold up pretty well and only allowed the Cardinals to move 26yds on the next drive. With the ball on their own 14yds-line the 49ers suddenly began to move the ball like they did earlier in the season. Garcia stepped up and completed the first 4 throws to 4 different receivers for a total of 73yds. On 3-5 on the ARI 8yds-line Garcia came up short after Justin Lucas made another great play and managed to push the ball out of the hands of Jed Weaver in the end zone for an incomplete pass, and SFO had to settle for another FG. 6-7.
Arizona was quick to respond. 6 plays, 75yds and a new TD, this time on a 26yds catch by Freddie Jones increased the gap to 8 points. 6-14.
With 7:41 to play in the first half SFO had managed to move the ball to the AZI 39yd-line and had a short 3-1. Instead of trying to push for the last yard with a run up the middle, Garcia tried a passing-play that went incomplete. 4-1 on the AZI 39yd-line and in comes the punting team. LaFleur mad a beauty of a punt and was marked on the 3yd-line.
In three plays AZI managed to move the ball to the 14yd-line and get 4 new attempts. The clock now showed 5:45 left in the half and the Cardinals decided push for another scorer. But in the next 3-½ minutes everything went wrong for Jeff Blake and Arizona. Jeff Blake tried to go for the big gain on the next play. Unluckily for him Ahmed Plummer got in the way. With a fine one-handed catch he managed to pick the ball out of the air and only the speed from Jeff Blake prevented him from returning it for a TD. He was pushed out of bound on the 17yd line.
Arizona was taken by surprise when Garcia handed the ball to Kevan Barlow from the shotgun and he was able to get 15yds up the middle. On the next play from the 2yd-line Barlow went around the left tackle for a TD. 13-14.
Three plays later a new disaster hit the Cardinals. This time the ball was fumbled by Jones. Another FG and instead of going in to the half with a lead Arizona was now down 16-14.
But it was going to get worse.
2:13 on the clock and the Cardinals offense was to start from the 20yd-line.
First play
The snap
Blake drops back
Looks around
The pressure is coming
He throws
Its tipped on the line
Its intercepted by Peterson
He runs for the end zone
They will never catch him
Another defensive TD from San Francisco.
When the clock finally ran out in the first half its San Francisco was suddenly up by 23-14.
Jeff Blake started the second half with another INT. Zack Bronson returned it 9yds. When Garcia hooked up with TO in the end zone for a 34yds TD it’s the 4th time a Arizona turnover helped San Francisco to put points on the board. 30-14.
But Arizona had not given up yet and was not afraid the throw the ball. 6 plays and 70yds on the next possession ends with a TD to Anquan Boldin. 30-21.
Now the SFO offense had finally found the rhythm. 10 plays 62yds and this time Garcia found Beasley for the 1yd TD. 37-21.
The 4th INT of the day by Blake in the next possession killed every hope Arizona had for a comeback. Once again it was Bronson with the pick and once again San Francisco converts the INT to a TD. 13yds counter play by Hearst gives SFO the record for most points in a game this season. 44-21.

Good evening and welcome to this great show. We have now reached the half waypoint in this first season of the eNFL and its time to look on what have happened in the first 8 weeks. We will take a look at some of the statistics and numbers and try to see if we can see any trends.

Arlie
Lets start with a look at the most important position on a football team. The GM. We have already seen a few GM leave us in the first 8 weeks and we even seen some shift team in the middle of the season. We have seen a total of three new GMs until now and these teams have another manager now then on opening day.

St Louis
Cincinnati
Kansas
Seattle

Jim
The group in charge now look great and i don’t expect to see as many changes in the second half of the season. I think we better have a look on another group, now lets focus on QB this time.

The big story of the first 8 games has been Brett Favre. He has an avg. of 237yds pr game. His is also on route to +40 TD this season and if he keep up his pace he will get very close to 50 TD in a single season. His QB rating is still way up in the sky. Just look at these ratings for the 7 first games.

Arlie
Before we get our heads to fare up his a.. Lets have a look on some of the other QBs in the league. We have already seen a QB pass for more then 400yds in a single game this year. JAX QB Mark Brunell had 410yds on 47 Att (2 TD and 3 Int) in a 33-29 win in week 5 against SDO. This week Jake Plummer managed to throw for 403yds and still lose the game 28-31 to Baltimore. 15 QBs has +300yds games already. HOU David Carr has the record for most TD in a single game with 5TD passes when they beat JAX 42-10. The Bills and Drew Bledsoe have more then 38 pass attempts pr game. He has a record 315 Att and 184 Comp. Daunte Culpepper leads the league in Cmp Pct with 0.668. And Jake Plummer is the passing yards leader with 2051yds in total. Mark Brunell already has 14 Int and Brad Johnson need to talk to his O-line about the record 24 Sck.

Now lets talk about the running backs in the eNFL. The number one rusher in the eNFL after the first half of the season is Ricky Williams. 785yds in 7 games is his total. That adds up to 112yds pr/game. Only New York (97yds) and Buffalo (60yds) has managed to keep him below 100yds.
Two players have crossed the magic +200yds line in a single game. Jamal Lewis ran for 207yds in week 6 against Arizona and Edgerrin James managed 224yds against the Titans defends in week 2. Deuce McAllister has the most attempts with 191 or almost 24 pr game. In the game against Tennessee he got he ball a record 37 times. Edgerrin James and Kevan Barlow moves the ball 5.5yds every time they get it and Barlow also got the longest run of the year with an 89yds TD against Cleveland. Jamal Lewis has been able to get the ball over the goal line 8 times in the first half of the season. The best rookie on the list is the Vikings 4th round pick Onterrio Smith with 543yds and 3 TDs.

Arlie
I just have to mention that Jerome Bettis is the most scoring non-kicker with 54 Pts (6 TD running and 3 TD receiving)

Now its time to take a look at the players with the sensitive hands and big ego’s. Lets see what the receivers have been able to produce this fare in the season. At the moment the record stands at 720yds. That mark is set by PIT WR Plaxico Burress followed by Randy Moss (689yds) and Mushin Muhammad (675yds). This looks like a difficult position for a rookie to get a break. The best WR rookie in the first half of the season is Redskins 2nd round pick Taylor Jacobs all the way down in #31 with 395yds. Best non-WR on the list is Tennessee TE Erron Kinney with 525yds.
Terrell Owens cannot complain that he doesn’t get any balls to work with. He is the most targeted player with 81 Targ and 46 Ctch.
The Green Bay WR realy benefits from Brett Favres great year. Antonio Freeman average almost 20yds pr catch on his 20 receptions and Donald Driver has already pulled down 9 balls in the end zone.
No player has received for more then +200yds in a game, but Rams WR Torry Holt was close against the 49ers with 199yds. 5 players have 3 TDs in a single game.

If we take a look at the other side of the ball, two players has managed to have 3 INT in a single game. Deon Grant (FS Carolina) had 3 against Jacksonville and Darren Woodson (SS Dallas) picked 3 in the New York game. Zack Bronson (FS SFO) already has 7 picks and 3 other players with 6 picks closely follow him. 10-year veteran from Cleveland Robert Griffith (SS) also deserves a mention. He has only 2 INT but both have been for +90yds and TD.

Last thing we will look at today is the big players you realy don’t want to meat in a dark alley (or on the football field). Its now we look at the hard-hitting defense. The player you don’t want to see coming your way is Jamie Sharper (ILB, DEN). 72 Tckl (9 pr game) and 19 Asst. Also Earl Holmes (ILB, DET) has a great year till now with 64 Tckl and 30 Asst and 25.4 TkPct. If you are a QB, you better look up for Jevon Kearse when you play the Titans. He realy likes to get in close and personal with the QB. 10 times in the first 8 games has he been able to take a QB down. Specially Houston’s QB Tony Banks will properly remember the 3 times Kearse came to see him in the 3-13 defeat in week 6.

Press conference with San Francisco’s GM T Northwood after week 9 home game against St Louis Rams

http://www.phyrebird.com/users/dhmfl/images/sanfrancisco-helmet.gifhttp://www.phyrebird.com/users/dhmfl/images/stlouis-helmet.gif

T Northwood:This was a stupid loss. I don’t say that we are a stupid team (that’s on the other side of the bay), but the 20-24 loss to division rivals St Louise was realy not necessary and i am afraid that it can come back and cost us dearly later in the season. Up by 3 points and with only 1:56 to play and the Rams with the ball on their own 36yd line we realy don’t need to hand them the game.

Reporter 1: So you put all the blame for this loss on Tony Parrish?

T Northwood:Of cause not. Tony is one of our best players and he had nothing more then anybody else to do with our loss today.
The 42yds defensive pass interference by Tony that put STL on our 15yds line an made way for the final TD with only 0:42 to play was only one of many mistakes today. Today alone we had a total of 112 penalty yards. It’s not easy to win games when we help the other team like that.

Reporter 1: But his mistake gave the game to St. Louise?

T Northwood:If you look at the statistics we are the team with the most penalties and the most penalty-yards (68-522yds) in the eNFL. That is what cost us games. To try to pick out a single play and a single player is just stupid.

Reporter 2: eNFC West is still way open. What will it take to win the division?

T Northwood: That’s a good question. I have a feeling that all teams will be 4-5 after next week. We have a bye week and will not move this week. Arizona will travel to Pittsburgh and will have a hard time brining anything home but a loss. Seattle will meat struggling Redskins and St Louise will play the Ravens at home an booth have good chances for a win. Then we all will be 4-5 with 7 games to play. If you take a look at all the teams schedule its not unlikely that the final standing will be something like this.

St Louise 10-6
Seattle 8-8
Arizona 6-10

That means that we need to beat either Pittsburgh or Green Bay, and hope that St Louise (and Seattle) will not take advantage of the relatively easier second half schedule, if we want to get in to the playoff. But then again this is football and a lot of things can happen. What we realy need to do is to go out and win some games and then see how long it will take us.

Reporter 1: What happened to the strong running game? Today we only managed 82yds on the ground.

T Northwood: As you all know have we decided let Kevan Barlow and his mentor Garrison Hearst shared the running job this year. This is realy a learning year for Barlow and I think we need to be realistic in our expectations to him and to our running game. I still think we made a smart move when we renegotiated his contract earlier this year for two new years and $1.20mil. And don’t forget that Kevan still leads the league in Avg yds pr carry.

Rushing Att Yards Avg Long TD
32 Barlow 10 56 5.6 35 0
20 Hearst 6 16 2.6 8 0
5 Garcia 3 5 1.6 3 0
40 Beasley 1 5 5.0 5 0


Reporter 3: It looks like San Francisco only have one WR this year?

T Northwood: It can feel that way sometime when you have a WR so dominant as Terrell Owens. The 169yds today was just another example. Tai Streets has 412yds on 27 Ctch this year with 58yds today. Tai will be out of contract this year and at the moment we are talking to his agent to see if its possible to reach a new deal. From he first meetings it looks like he is looking for a long-term deal with a farley little signing bonus (5years, $10.00mil).
If we don’t manage to sign a deal with Tai its very possible that we already have his replacement on our roster. If anyone have seen rookie Brandon Lloyd on the practice field they will know that he has the skills to be a very good player.
I realy don’t think that the FA will be the place to pick up a WR this year. Very few players will be available this year. At the moment New York’s Ron Dixon is the best WR heading for FA and I think that says it all. Only way to ad new talent to this position next year will be from trade or draft.
When we talk about catching the ball I have to mention the great performance by TE Jed Weave (22-276yds) and FB Fred Beasley (42-248yds) they have helped Garcia and Owens tie up defenders.

Receiving Catch Yards Avg YAC Long TD
81 Owens 7 169 24.1 20 49 0
40 Beasley 4 28 7.0 13 12 0
89 Streets 4 58 14.5 2 25 1

88 Weaver 1 17 17.0 4 17 0
84 Wilson 1 17 17.0 2 17 0

Reporter 2: Jeff Garcia had his first +300yds game today and is a fan favourite, but he is also 34years old. Is it time to start looking for a new franchise QB in the draft?

T Northwood: As long as we still have a chance to reach the playoff we are only focused on the next game. That means that we haven’t spent a lot of time looking at the draft board. The way Jeff Garcia has improved this year and with his current contract ending in 2006 I realy cant sees the reason for us to target a QB in the draft. At the moment we only have two QBs under contract for next year so will have to sign an extra QB. If we have one dropped in our lab in the draft of cause we will pick him up, but at the moment its definitely not a priority and i am sure that we will still see a lot of great football from Jeff Garcia in the years to come. I will also take the opertunety to congratulate Jeff with his StatsCo First Half 3rd place Award (after McNair and Favre).

Passing Att Comp Yards Yd/Att Long TD Int Sckd
5 Garcia 38 21 309 8.1 49 2 0 3


Reporter 3: What are the plans for the bye week?

T Northwood: If you take a look at our schedule I think you know the answer to that. We will meat the 1st and 3rd ranked team in eNFL the weeks after our break. As I said before, I think we need to win at least one of those games to have a chance to reach the playoff. Karl Martinez (def coord) will have to come up with a plan to stop the leagues two hottest passers Brett Favre and Kurt Warner.
It will give us time to get most of our injured players back on the field and that will mostly help our O-line. The bye week will also give us some time to sit down and have a look at some contracts and perhaps try to free up some cap-space for next year.

eNFL Pregame show week 10

Jim
Welcome to the show. We are counting down to today’s kick-off. And we have some really great matches coming up today. This is the last week of bye weeks and today New England, Denver, New Orleans and San Francisco will sit out and watch.

Marc
# 1 on last week’s power ranking Green Bay will go up against struggling Philadelphia and McNabb. The other two teams with only one defeat New York and Pittsburgh will also see action today against the Falcons and the Cardinals. The most hyped game this week will show Ricky Williams against Steve McNair. Both teams a desperately trying to hold on to a playoff spot and a loss this week can be devastating to both teams dreams.

Jim
Perhaps the hottest team in eNFL now is defending champions Tampa Bay with 6 straight wins. The will try to get revenge for the loss to Carolina early in the season. Dallas on the other hand will need to get things going again after 3 losses if the want to hang on to their wild card place.

E-mail from GM T Northwood to Coach Finch

Hei Coach,
Are you watching the games today? Looks like St. Louise have picked up another win today against Baltimore and Arizona will loss big to the Steelers. Then we only need Seattle to pull out a win in the close game against the Redskins and I will be spot-on in my prediction from last week’s press conference. We will all be 4-5 with 6 games to play.
I think its best if you and the rest of the training staff meat in my office 06:00AM tomorrow, then we will take a look at the game plans for the upcoming Green Bay and Pittsburgh games. I got a plan how to beat Kurt Warner and Brett Favre. You better call all the defensive players and tell them to come in for an extra training tomorrow. They will realy have to work for their paycheck the next two weeks. And ask them to look up blitzing in “football for dummies” because that’s what the will be training all week long. I’m not worried about our offens they will be able to put up points. But we can not allow Brett and Kurt to stand back their and throw bullets at us all day long.
By the way I think you can kiss our single-game-scoring-record goodbye. The Chiefs already made 50 points in the Cleveland game.

eNFL Power Ranking Show

Jim
Week 10, we are getting closer and the picture is getting clearer. Right now it looks like the rich is getting richer and the poor are getting screwed in the eNFL. In the top 10 in this weeks power ranking only one of the first 8 teams lost and that was the Titans in a loss to # 3 seed Miami.

Joe
That’s true Joe. The top 5 teams are as good as ready for the playoff and they will also have to battle it out for home field advantage. Green Bay and Pittsburgh looks like the logical choices at the moment, but they cannot afford a single misstep. New York, Miami and Tampa Bay are all ready to strike if the opportunity comes.

Jim
It looks like some of the teams have already pulled the plug and are only waiting for the off-season. Cleveland, Carolina and Cincinnati lost by a combined score of 120-35 this week with Cincinnati and Carson Palmer taking the worst beating. When you have 4 INT and loos but 34 points you know you had a bad day. It will not help moral for a first draft pick QB like Palmer to be pulled out of the game and replaced by Kitna as it happened in the 4th quarter today. They lost 37-3 at home to a struggling Houston. I also have to mention the 50 points by Kansas today. That’s a new eNFL record. Cleveland is the team on the receiving end of that record.

Joe
7 games today were decided by less then a TD. Dallas won 17-10 home in Dallas against Buffalo after running in two TD in the 4th quarter. The last TD by Erik Bickerstaff with only 1:33 to play.
5 field goals by the Detroit kicker were all it took to beat Chicago 15-10.

Jim
Tennessee properly lost the game to Miami when Eddie George fumbled the ball on a counter play on the MIA 22yds line with 2:03 left to play. That meant that Miami could hold on to the 13-9 lead.
Oakland won over New Jersey on a 10yds TD run with only 0:44 left to play. The final scorer in that game was 25-20. The finish in the Green Bay vs. Philadelphia game was pretty wild, but PHI just came up short as they have done most of the season.

4Q: 01:51 GBY - Bubba Franks 2 pass from Brett Favre.
4Q: 01:51 GBY - Ryan Longwell extra point.
4Q: 00:43 GBY - Mike McKenzie 86 interception return.
4Q: 00:43 GBY - Ryan Longwell extra point.
4Q: 00:26 PHI - James Thrash 79 pass from Donovan McNabb.
4Q: 00:26 PHI - David Akers extra point.

Philadelphia 7 0 3 14 - 24
Green Bay 3 3 7 14 - 27


Joe
A 95yds TD pass from Patrick Ramsey to Laveranues Coles with 1:42 left to play was not enough to catch Seattle. They stayed in front 17-14 without making a TD on offends all day long. Booth Seattle TD today was returned INT. The last close game this week was the Vikings 34-27 win over the Chargers.
Now lets take a look at this week’s power ranking.

eESPN Special Report

After 10 weeks of play in the eNFL a lot of teams have already given up any chance to reach the promised land (the playoff) and therefore turned their attention to what will happen after the Super Bowl weekend.

The UFA period.

6 teams will need to start looking for a new Hd. Coach next year. They all have Coaches with contracts ending this year. But also expected other teams to make a move. I will be very surprised if a team like Cincinnati don’t make a move to sign a new Hd. Coach this year.

The following coaches will be out of contract this year.
SDO – Reuben Armstrong (VG-F-VG-A-G)
CHI – Doug Jefferson (G-G-A-VG-G)
BUF – Joe Chavous (E-A-A-G-G)
STL – Darrell Sutton – (G-VG-G-G-VG)
NOS – Brandon Abrams – (A-E-E-A-E)
GBY – Bart Myers – (E-WG-E-A-WG)

Several teams will also need to look around for a new offensive coordinator due to ending contracts. Among the teams out shopping you will find Miami, Arizona, Kansas, Seattle, Houston and Cincinnati.

Same scenario on defence where 5 teams will have to look for new coordinators.
Arizona, New Orleans, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Cincinnati.

Jacksonville, Seattle, Buffalo, Kansas, Chicago and Carolina will all have to look for a new Ld. Scout.

But the joggling for coaches and scouts is only the beginning. A lot of teams will try to fill gaps and close holes in their roster in free agency and a lot of teams hope they have managed to get a new deal done with their superstars before they leave for free.

A quick look at the list show you that only one QB is to be found on the list. That is Peyton Manning but he will never make it to FA. The Colts front office has been working franticly the last couple of weeks to come up with a contract that Peyton can accept. They have not had any luck yet and sources close to the team say that it will properly never happen. The most likely scenario at the moment is that the Colts uses a franchise tag on Peyton Manning and then try to work out a deal. Rumours say that Peyton Manning will not sign a new contract with Indianapolis if they decide to use the tag and then its not unlikely that he will end up on another team next year. Agents and coaches around the eNFL say that the best bet will be for Payton to end up in New Orleans but more possible Dallas. Dallas has already picked up several extra draft picks in this years draft thru trade, and they will come very handy in a deal with he Colts. On the other hand will Dallas need all the draft picks they can get. 8 starters will disappear as UFA and that is all part of the plan to completely rebuild the team.


If you are in need of an experienced RB or WR this is not the place to look. You better hope that the draft class have some offensive talent.


This is the list of UFA in week 10. The list will only have players with more then 5 starts this year.

eESPN Pre Game Show Week 11

Jim
Seven weeks to go. For a lot of teams and fans this is the most intriguing time of the season and for a few other teams the season is already over and everybody is waiting for next year and better luck.

Joe
A lot of very important games will be played today (and some that doesn’t mean a thing). Dallas and New England are both 5-4 and trying to hang on to a wild card. They will meet this weekend and for booth teams it’s a must win. The bookmakers have NED by 3 points but look out for Dallas. The Dallas coaching staff has done a fine job this fare with a group of players with limited talent.

Jim
It will be interesting to see how many people will turn up to watch the Carolina (1-8) vs. Washington (2-7) game this Monday. It can be the first time in a long time that a Monday Night Football game will be played with an almost empty stadium. Booth teams have a chance to reach the play off in theory but nobody believes that will happen. I have a feeling that this will be Carolinas lucky weekend. They have lost 5 of 8 games with less then a TD. It looks like they have given up on Jake Delhomme. He has not taken a single snap this year and is a long way from the starting line-up. Chris Weinke and Rodney Peete have shared the starting job this year but none of them has been able to get anything going. It will be interesting to see if Chris Weinke (draft 2001 4th round) develops any more before next season. He has improved 2 points already from week 1 but still has a long way to go.

Joe
The big game this week is for first place and possible bye week in the first playoff week. Green Bay will meet the red-hot Tamper Bay. Tamper Bay is looking to extend their winning streak to 9 games. The next two games will show if the Bucks are back for good this year again. Then they will be close to securing the eNFC south title and a safe spot in the play off. But then the have the get past Green bay this week and New York next week.

Jim
One team that nobody is talking about is Oakland. They have moved up in all the rankings and are now out in front in the eAFC West. They have won the last 4 games in a row. It realy helps when you have a QB that doesn’t throw interceptions in every game. Rich Gannon has only been picked one time in the last 8 games. But its not the Offense that carries this team cause they don’t realy produce a lot. The key is the defends that only allows the opponents 16.8 pt/game. Oakland will have to put Terrance Shaw back in the roster as RCB. The Raiders first round draft pick from this year RCB Nnamdi Asimugha is out for 36 weeks with ACL knee surgery to an injury from last week’s game. They will meet the Vikings this week. A team for witch this week is do or die. In the eNFC North the Vikings will never catch Green Bay and the best they can hope for is a wild card. But with a 4-5 record they have to start winning this weekend for that to be realistic.

Joe
It’s not a lot of fun when you got more then 6.00mil of cap money and 5 starters sitting injured in the luxury boxes. But that’s the situation in Baltimore. LB Peter Boulware 20 weeks, LG Edwin Mulitalo 16 weeks, RT Orlando Brown 13 weeks and WR Frank Sanders 4 weeks is all out. The Ravens has lost the last two games and will have a hard time turning that trend this week travelling to Miami.

Jim
Anyone remember Elton Patterson? He was the last pick in this years draft and went as #237 to Cincinnati. Until now he has stepped on to the field seven times. No not 7 games but 7 plays. He has improved 1 point since week 1 but don’t expect a lot more from him. And the same goes for his team the Bengals. Don’t expect a lot (at least not this year). The best they can finish the year is 9-7 but then they have to beat Kansas also win the rest of the games. Carson Palmer has now played 5 games and got 4 TD and 9 INT. He has already developed 5 points from week 1 but still got a very long way to go before he will reach his projected level.

Joe
But now we go live to San Francisco. They are fighting for their lift in a very close eNFC West and desperately need a win this week against Pittsburgh and Kurt Warner.

Hope you have better luck against Warner than when Bulger bit you for that comeback!!! Man, would it suck to be Baltimore... keep up the interesting reading!! Kudos...

Game report from week 11 Steelers vs. 49ers

http://www.phyrebird.com/users/dhmfl/images/pittsburgh-helmet.gifhttp://www.phyrebird.com/users/dhmfl/images/sanfrancisco-helmet.gif

If the last few weeks have been hard on the fans of San Francisco 49ers, this weekend was nothing but pleasure. Everything turned out perfect for Jeff Garcia and the rest of the 49ers team. St Louis lost to Chicago on a 54yds FG inside the last 50sec. Arizona gave up 45 points to Cleveland and was never close. Seattle only managed a total 209yds against the Lions and that was only enough for 6 points. Detroit Lions made 27 points.
That meant that the San Francisco team could go on to the field for the game against the eAFC North leader Pittsburgh without any nerves. The expected loss would only mean that they stayed side by side with all the other eNFC West teams at 4-6.

The 49ers got off to a nice start with a 37yds punt return to the midfield by Cedrick Wilson. If Garcia’s first snap was setting the tone for the rest of the day, it looked like a long day. Aaron Smith and Casey Hampton sacked Garcia for a loss of 4yds. To everybody’s surprise Garcia went straight back to the line without a huddle and placed the ball right in the hands of young WR Brandon Lloyd for a gain of 10yds. In the next 8 plays Garcia went 4-4 and mixed it all up with a few runs by Barlow and Hearst. With 9:15 to play in the first quarter Garcia made the first strike of the day with a short pass to Brandon Lloyd who easily took it the last 2yds in for the first TD of his career.

The 49ers D-line showed that all the practise the last two weeks had paid off. On the Steelers first two possessions the only managed 6 plays for 3yds and not a single completion by Kurt Warner. The next to strike was Kevan Barlow. He finished off a 70yds drive by running the ball the last 3yds for the second TD of the day.

The third time Pittsburgh got the ball they were already down by 14-0 by fare from beaten. They took the first step for a comeback with a 64yds drive but had to settle for a 33yds FG. 14-3.

After the next play the fans started to believe that an upset was possible. Garcia moved the ball down field with ease and made the 3rd, his 2nd TD of the day.

Score: San Francisco 21, Pittsburgh 3.


Pittsburgh tried to get something going before the break by Kurt Warner made his 6th mistake of the year when he was picked by Plummer with 1:19 to play and the time ran out. Not a lot of people in San Francisco (or anywhere ells) would have gusted that halftime scorer.

Pittsburgh came out to the second half looking like the Pittsburgh team form the privies weeks.
9 plays 72yds TD Jerome Bettis.
49ers answered with a FG but didn’t make the two-point conversion. All momentum the Steelers picked up with the TD was lost when Warner was picked for the second time on the first play of the next possession. This time it was Parrish that made the big play. That led to another FG.

The whole year Kurt Warner had only thrown 5 INT. On the very next drive he made the 3rd INT of the day. Plummer again and another FG for the 49ers. 30-9.

The clock now showed 14:54 left in the game. In the next 10min Pittsburgh intercepted Garcia and made another TD (Bettis) and a FG to make it 30-19. San Francisco managed to get the clock down to 2:32 and the ball to the Steelers 3yds line. Kurt Warner made a last and desperate attempt to get back in the match but was picked down for the 4th time in the game.

The 49ers could run out the clock and register a very important win.

Thanks timmae,

Bulger has robbed me not one but two times this year but I will let it slid if I can cheat him for the playoff spot. :)

Have you looked at the weather forecast for the Green Bay arrear this weekend? It’s going to be cold and a lot of snow. What have we done to prepare for this? I guess Garcia will have a hard time getting a passing game going. When I think of it maybe it is to our advantage anyway. If the snow can help us slow Brett Favre down, its help much appreciated.
I don’t think we can surprise them like we did the Steelers last week but a couple of interceptions this week as well is very welcome.

St Louis will travel to Arizona this week. It will be interesting to see if Arizona has fixed their gamelan. I’m not sure what the coordinators in Arizona have been smoking. But when you only run the ball 5 times in a whole game as they did in the game two week ago something must be wrong.

Seattle will be in Baltimore and I am afraid that we cannot expect any help from the Ravens this week. They have lost 3 in a row and got a bunch of players on the injury list.

I have arranged for someone to tape the two big games this week so we can watch them on our flight back home.

Are you up for a bet? I say Kansas will beat Oakland because of home field advantage and that Tampa will make it 9 in a row when the host New York Giants.

San Diego knew that this was the last chance to get the season back on track. With games against KCY, DET, GBY, PIT and OAK left on the schedule this was a must win. They got Drew Brees back from injury and you cannot blame them for not trying. All 3 active QB was tried against the Bengals. But they all came up short against Carson Palmer. His second game in a row without an INT and today he added 4 TDs. Easy win for Cincinnati.

With 4:07 left to play they found themselves down by 1 point and with the ball on their own 4yds line. 3:21 later James Stewart finished a 96yds drive by taking the ball the last 4yds for his second TD of the day. Joey Harrington then completed to Mikhael Ricks for the two-point-conversion. The Vikings gave it a last try but ended up short when Dante Culpepper was sacked by Porcher for a loss of 5 yards on the Lions 20yds line with only 0:05 to play and no timeouts left.

The Steelers needed OT to turn things around this week after last week’s loss to the 49ers. Kurt Warner was struggling or the second week in a row. This week he managed to avoid interceptions but only managed 116yds. But what does that matter when you have one of the favourites for eNFL MVP 35-year-old Jerome Bettis on your team. Today he carried the ball 31 times for 112yds (his 7th 100yds game of the season). The big hero today in Pittsburgh will properly be SS Troy Polamalu. He managed to block a Cleveland punt in OT to set up the deciding TD.

The finish of the game is a casebook example of what you can achieve when you play for winning instead of being afraid of loosing and have an aggressive play caller. With 0:44 left to play Kansas called their last timeout on the Oakland 9yds line. Everybody expected Trent Green to throw for the TD and then go for the FG necessary. Instead they gave the ball to Priest Holmes for a run inside the tight guard. 9yds an a TD. Kansas take over the frontseat in the eAFC West

#1 and #3 on the power ranking go head to head in a fight for home field advantage in the playoffs. New York lost the game but a lot of people in New York are afraid that’s not the only thing they lost today. With 2:40 to play in the 3rd quarter QB Collins got tangled up in a broken run-play by Barber. Collins went down hard and the first news says that the arm is broken. If that is true he will be out 7-8 weeks and the Giants will be in huge trouble. Their backup QBs Jason Garrett and Jesse Palmer will have a hard time leading the team into the playoff and the best man in the free agents marked Damon Huard will not add a lot.
Tamper Bay on the other hand looks in fine shape. They now got 9 wins in a row and a fairly easy schedule to finish the regular season. Now they just have to find a way to protect their QB how suffered another 5 sacks this week.

San Francisco on the other hand came in to this game with good confidents and high moral after beating top-seeded Steelers in last week’s game.
San Francisco managed as the first team this year to keep Brett Favre from the end zone. They also double his number of total interceptions for the year from 2 to 4. Unfortunately for the 49ers that was still not enough. It was a tie game until 7:38 before the end. Then Ahman Green ran in a 6yds TD to put the Packers up by a TD.

Kansas over Oakland and Tamper over New York. What did I tell you?

I send you the stats from the last game. I think the guys did a pretty good job. We were up against a better team and we only allowed them 17 points. Only Tamper Bay has done better then that.
I am pretty satisfied with our current defensive game plan, but I think we need to changes it a bit for the game against Baltimore. It worked fine against the Steelers and Packers passing-game but the Ravens like to run the ball. Jamal Lewis will try to get around the corner. He almost average 6.5yds when he runs left. If we can stop him we got a good chance of winning this game. We properly got the best secondary in the eNFL at the moment. 6 interceptions in the last two games is a pretty good result.

This week we get Newberry back in the middle of our O-line. Hopefully that will buy Garcia some extra time. Baltimore used the 3-4 defends in their last game. I am not sure they will do the same against us with 2 of 3 players injured. I realy think we need to take a look at Jeff Garcia’s passing pattern. This week he ave 4.4yds pr att. That was half the distance Brett Favre managed. I know we are the 49ers and we like the WCO, but I talked to our Hd. Scout and listen to this. He says that Garcia’s biggest strength is deep passes +31yds and I realy like our odds with Terrell Owens down the field to fight the defenders for the ball.

Breaking News * Garcia down

Garcia will not play anymore today. Reports from the sideline say that he has strained the tendon in his throwing elbow. If the first reports from Baltimore turns out to be true Jeff Garcia is most likely out for the season.

That will be a huge blow for the 49ers playoff hopes. Most likely the 49ers will turn to backup QB Harry Curtis. He played great in the pre-season but not everybody thinks he has what it takes to securer a playoff spot for the 49ers in a very close eNFC West.

The Cardinals played one of their best games of the season with 493yds total. But it was still not enough to beat the Bears. The main reason was that Chris Chandler played even better. 381yds 4 TDs and 70.2 Pct Cmp. This means that Arizona can close down for the year.

Ok coach lets get to work. This is our plan. Jeff Garcia will be put on the inactive roster. Hopefully he will be ready for the first week of playoff. Until then Harry Curtis is our starting QB. We need to rework the offensive game plan so it fits his style of play. A home game against Arizona is properly the best you can hope for when you are going to get your first eNFL start. But he still needs all the help he can get. We need to bring in a 3rd QB to fill up our depth chart. We will pick up a guy from Utah I think can help us out. We have to release MLB Brandon Moore but I think we can all live with that.

This is the stats from last week. It worked exactly as we planed.

1Q: 00:55 BAL - Matt Stover 49 field goal.
2Q: 07:04 SFO - Terrell Owens 27 pass from Jeff Garcia.
2Q: 07:04 SFO - Owen Pochman extra point.
3Q: 12:09 BAL - Matt Stover 36 field goal.
3Q: 03:03 SFO - Owen Pochman 49 field goal.
3Q: 01:47 SFO - Kevan Barlow 6 run.
3Q: 01:47 SFO - Owen Pochman extra point.
3Q: 00:00 SFO - Zack Bronson 18 interception return.
3Q: 00:00 SFO - Owen Pochman extra point.
4Q: 08:50 SFO - Kevan Barlow 5 run.
4Q: 08:50 SFO - Owen Pochman extra point.

Garcia did not have a great day. He looked a bit off balance all day.

Passing Att Comp Yards Yd/Att Long TD Int Sckd
5 Garcia 34 17 207 6.0 27 1 1 4

This is not great numbers but as long as Barlow keeps taking them in for TDs I am not going to complain.

17.7yds Avg by Tereell today is also according to plan. Its nice to see that the things we put in our game plan works. Lets hope he can help Harry Curtis this week.

By the way, i got a call from the office. They said that National Enquirer had called and wanted to ask some questions. Have you got a clue what that can be about?

Talk to you tomorrow coach.

Garcia play under the influence

Anonymous sources close to the 49ers organization confirms that Jeff Garcia possibly play under the influence in last nights game against Baltimore but final results won't be available for about two weeks.
The sources go on to say that this was discovered from a blood test taken in the Baltimore hospital Garcia was taken to after the game.

Garcia was injured in the game and will properly miss the rest of the season.

It has not been possible to get a comment from the hospital or from the San Francisco 49ers front office.

From: GM Northwood @ e49ers.com

We strongly urge you to put forward evidence to prove your horrendous claims in the last issue of your magazine.

Nobody from the San Francisco medical team or from the Baltimore hospital has been able to prove any true in this story or find any evidence confirming Garcia being under any kind of influence.

Jeff Garcia has always been a roll model and is well liked in the bay arrear. We are sure that Jeff Garcia would never put the 49ers in a situation like this.

If this request is not accepted we need to take the appropriate steeps to protect our players and staff from any further abuses from your magazine.

This one was close. Green Bay had to make 14 points in the last 6:20 just to tie the game. In OT thing went a little wild. The Bears won the toss but lost the ball on a fumble 3 plays later. Green Bay moved the ball to Chicago’s 15yds line only to miss a short 32yds FG for the match. Chicago went the other way. They were stopped at the GBY 38yds line and went for the long FG. 55yds was to long for Edinger and the packer got another try. This time they got to the 10yds line. This time it was Brian Urlacher coming up big. A huge tackle made Green fumble the ball and Chicago recovered it. 4 plays later they had to punt from their own 14yds line and Green bay got a last chance with 0:35 to play and the ball on their own 43yds line. In three plays they moved the ball to the Chicago 27yds line. With 0:04 left on the clock Longwell got another chance to win the match. This time from 44yds. Once again he missed. The clock ran out and the first tie game of the eNFL was a fact.
With a win Green Bay could have wrapped up the division. Now they have to wait another week.

The Cowboys has started to play like the team they are: a team under re-construction and the Eagles now have a fair chance of getting a wild card and then you never know what can happen.

Today he looked realy focused on throwing balls to the Titans. He was intercepted 4 times and now got 19 for the season with only 13 TDs.

New England starts to look more and more like a playoff team. This week they went up against division-leader Miami and never backed down. Miami came in to this game with a new game plan. Instead of running the ball (and risk an injury on Ricky Williams) they tried to go airborne. I don’t think they will go that way next week. Troy Brown and Tom Brady was all over Miami all day long and suddenly the Dolphins are in danger of loosing the eAFC East.

From: Northwood @ e49ers.com

If we win our last 3 games we will be 9-7. Then we need the Seahawks to beat the Rams but loss to the Cardinal. Besides losing to Seattle the Rams must drop one more game. Cincinnati got nothing to play for and that leaves us with the Lions. They still in for a wild card so that will be our best shot. Of cause we can tie with Seattle or St Louis at 9-7 and hope it will be enough for a wild card.

What do you think coach? We still got a chance.

I have seen stranger things happen. If you take a look at this week stats it’s a shame that we don’t take the chances we got. We miss 2 FG today. One of them was right before halftime and was a 56yds attempt. That we can’t blame him but the 44yds FG in the 3rd quarter is a mistake. Up by 23 we would have been difficult to catch in the 4th quarter. Did you sign the new contract with our kicker his week? I hope not. I’m surer that we can get a better deal with his agent after today.

To late Coach. He signed his new deals hours before the game. Nothing to do about it. We just have to suck up this loss and get on with it. We get a new chance this week against Cincinnati.

A had a word with Harry Curtis after the game. He was really sorry and I can’t blame him. He had a very respectable first game in the eNFL and then we loss it like this.

I think we made a mistake not running the ball more. When we have a new QB we want to give him some relief. Forcing him to throw 46 times is not good play calling. We need to get back to the drawing board and come up with a better game plan.

The defense didn’t make the big play when we needed it today. We tried to double-team their WR but I think we go back to our old game plan next week.

The fans in New Jersey got perhaps the last chance to see and old friend in action for perhaps the last time. Chad Pennington was injured after only nine snaps (strained patellar tendon, 1 week) and that opened the way for Vinny Testaverde first action of the year. The 16-year veteran completed 16 of 29 for 242yds. Warner had 309yds for the day and 4TDs. That was enough to end the Jest season.

Controversy in the eNFL

Controversy has hit the eNFL two weeks before the end of the regular season. Cleveland Browns front office is under investigation for loosing games on purpose and benching star players to get a better position in the upcoming draft.
The rumours started after Cleveland Browns loss this week to Denver. In this game Cleveland decides to bench several of their star players and let backup players start. Apparently this has been practised for the last 3 weeks. Among the players “rested” for the last three weeks can be mentioned LDT Gerard Warren, WR Dennis Northcutt, RB William Green and QB Tim Couch.
There might be reasonable explanations for some of these moves by the Browns front office. But what ever way you look at it they haven’t done their best to put them self in a position to win games the last three weeks.

Another division has now found their champions. It was not a huge surprise that Green bay warped it up today against San Diego but it was a surprise that it got so close. For Favre it was a normal day at the office. He posted his 6th +300yds game of the season and the 3rd in a row. In the other end San Diego QB Drew Brees got over the 300yds mark for the first time.
16 Green Bay points in the 3rd quarter decided the game.

Only two teams make fewer points when they get in to the opponents red-zone then the Ravens. Today they came inside the raiders 20yds line two times but had to walk away with FGs both times. This season they only avg 4.3 point’s pr visit.

I know he is just a kicker, but with 22 years in the league he realy make us Danes proud. Today he made 3 FG (24, 40, 27) and 4 PAT. That’s 13 points and that was enough to take the Chiefs past the Lions and keep them in front in the very close eAFC West. Only six players have made more points then him this season. I realy hope he don’t retire at the end of this season.

Jake Plummer has had a very nice year. Only second to Brett Favre in TDs and 4th on the list with 3470 total yards. Today he collected another 304yds and 2 TDs in a win over the Browns. Cleveland started rookie QB Howard Carlisle for the 3rd time in a row and he now got the same number of defeats. The only thing he picked up this week was an injury and it will be interesting to see what teams the Browns starts next week against the Ravens.

It’s December and what can you expect from the Dolphins. The looked strong and was cruising in to an eAFC East title. Now suddenly they are right in the middle of the fight for the 5 remaining spots in the eAFC play-off. After fighting back from a 14-0 deficit at halftime Miami took the lead 17-14 on a 52yds FG and Miami was back on track. Disaster hit seconds later when Todd Pinkston returned the kick-off 97yds for a TD to put the Eagled back on top. The Dolphins never came back from that cold shower.

Colts had just dropped three games against rivals in the eAFC and was in desperate need of a win. For only the 4th time this year Peyton Manning didn’t throw an interception but he also went of the field without a TD for the 4th time. I didn’t realy matter because Indianapolis had decided to run the ball up the middle all day and the just punished the Atlanta defense all day. The Colts ran up the middle 19 times for 132yds (6.9 Ave) and added another 90yds around the corners.

Bills and Titans booth 8-5 before this game. Buffalo game out strong and made the first 13 points of the game but from then on it was all Titans. 23 unanswered points including an 84yds beauty from McNair to Derrick Mason (tie for 4th longest of the season) made the difference today. Buffalo Bills now have a long road to the playoff with must-win games against Miami and New England.

With the Miami loss Patriots could sneak in to first place in eAFC East with a win against the Jaguars. On another cold day (24F and snow) Tom Brady was held under 100yds passing for the first time this year. Just to bad for the Jaguars they were not as effective stopping the run. New England collected more the 200yds on the ground and also returned a kick-off for 88yds. Patriots take over first place from Miami. Booth teams will meet the Jets and the Bills in the last two games.

Last call

San Francisco lost another close game this week to Cincinnati Bengals. That practically puts an end to the 49ers playoff hopes this year. To many things now needs to go wrong for the teams in front for the 49ers to get in. The next two games against the Eagles and Seahawks will be of no importance for the 49ers.But expected them to fight hard to spoil the playoff chances for the two teams in front.

This week’s game in Cincinnati was played in snow and only 28F and had a very interesting finish. With 3:14 to play the 49ers was only 3 points behind after a 19yds TD pass to Jed Weaver. An interception returned for a TD with 1:23 left made the difference 10 points once again. The clock showed 0:42 when Curtis found Owens in the end zone from 40 yards out and the difference was back to a FG. The 49ers recoverd the onside kick but time ran out before the got the chance to get in to field goal range.

1Q: 10:32 SFO - Owen Pochman 45 field goal.
1Q: 04:41 CIN - Mike Hollis 22 field goal.
2Q: 01:45 CIN - Corey Dillon 13 pass from Carson Palmer.

4Q: 13:54 CIN - Mike Hollis extra point.
4Q: 03:14 SFO - Jed Weaver 19 pass from Harry Curtis.

4Q: 01:23 CIN - Mike Hollis extra point.
4Q: 00:42 SFO - Terrell Owens 40 pass from Harry Curtis.
4Q: 00:42 SFO - Owen Pochman extra point.

Harry Curtis passed for a record 339yds and a record 3 TDs but also a record 3 Int. Curtis is still looking for his first win. He was picked up this year as a FA and it will be interesting to see if the 49ers will try to re-sign him in free agency this year.

The 49ers’ running game was non-exciting in this game. An embracing performance that did nothing to help Harry Curtis and the rest of the team.

The passing game was much better. Curtis completed some long passes (76, 50 and 40yds) and the receivers only dropped one pass all day. Tai Streets is FA after this season. It will be interesting to see in Lloyd can step up next year.

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/cardinals_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/seahawks_30.gif
eNFC West is the only division in eNFC who have not found a winner yet. Seattle didn’t do anything to hurt themselves this week in the race against the Rams. Seattle QB Dilfer only passed the ball 16 times and didn’t even try a single attempt over 19yds. A short run, a lot of field goals and an interception was all it took to beat Arizona.
ARI 3
SEA 29

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/bengals_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/rams_30.gif
Rams now needed a win to stay in the hunt. Marshall Faulk had a huge day with TDs both rushing (150yds and 2 TD) and catching (29yds and 1 TD). Carson Palmer was out with his first injury (sprained knee). Seattle is still in the drivers seat and must loss the last game (against the 49ers) for St Louis to win the division. Both teams also got a chance for a wild card.
CIN 17
STL 41

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/49ers_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/eagles_30.gif
With both Rams and Seahawks winning the 49ers chances of reaching the playoff disappeared. Phili on the other side is very much in the run. After a six game losing streak they now have five wins in a row and “only” need to win in Washington next week to secure a wild card.
SFO 16
PHI 28

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/giants_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/cowboys_30.gif
New York and QB Damon Huard finally got a win. Two fumble returns and a short run by Tiki Barber helped them past the Cowboys. They cannot catch Green Bay and Tampa and must play 3 more games without Kerry Collins.
NYK 21
DAL 14

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/redskins_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/bears_30.gif
The redskins never knew that hit them. 490 total yards by Chicago gave them one of the wild cards in the eNFC. They will be the #5 seed. The Bears must be thrilled that next weeks game against Kansas is not a must win and they can decide rest some players.

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/lions_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/panthers_30.gif
This was a huge loss by Detroit. When John Kasay kicked his 4th FG of the day with 0:04 left Carolina could celebrate their second win of the year. The Lions lost to possible the worst team in this year’s eNFL but it also made their playoff hopes look very slim. Now they need to beat the Rams in the last game and hope that the Redskins can upset the Eagles. This loss can possible also take the Lions GM out of the run for “eNFL GM of the year”.
DET 16
CAR 19

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/falcons_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/buccaneers_30.gif
Tampa just earned them self a bye week. That will give them a huge advantage in the playoff, as they will get Simeon Rice, Derrick Brooks and Kenyatta Walker back from injuries. Brad Johnson made 3 TDs in a single game for the 5th time this season.
ATL 23
TBY 28

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/saints_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/jaguars_30.gif
Jaguars’ running back Fred Taylor was handed the ball 32 times today and he managed to run it 119yds. Taylor is the second most used RB in the eNFL this year. Only Tiki Barber has more running attempts. Fred Taylor got 1458yds on 350 Att with 12TDs. A is one of the reasons that the Jaguars is very high on the list for points pr red zone visit (5.5 Pt/Visit).

********************************************************************************************
4 teams are ready for the playoff. Green Bay and Tampa will battle it out for the #1 and #2 spot. New York is locked up in the #3 spot and Seattle or St Louise will get the #4. Chicago cannot be touched in #5 and that leaves us with 4 teams fighting for the last wild card.

#1 or 2 Tampa
#2 or 1 Green Bay
#3 New York
#4 Seattle or St Louis
#5 Chicago
#6 See below.

1. Philadelphia (8-7) (vs Redskins)
2. Seattle (8-7) (vs 49ers)
3. St. Louis (8-7) (vs Lions / needs help)
4. Detroit (7-8) (vs Rams / needs help)
5. Atlanta (7-8) (vs Jaguars / needs a lot of help)

eESPN game report week 16 (Part 2)

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/chargers_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/steelers_30.gif
With 12 wins the Steelers has secured a bye week but they still need to fight for the home field advantage throughout the playoffs. For the second time this season LaDainian Tomlinson was held below 20 rushing yards and it was also the second time the team didn’t get more then 40yds total on the ground.
SDO 17
PIT 42

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/ravens_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/browns_30.gif
The Browns have now lost the last 5 games but have only been out-scored by an avg of 5.6 points. One can only guess the result if the Browns had played with their A-team in all the games. No official respond has been given to the allegations and this week Cleveland decided to keep most of their backup and FA players on the field and they loss another close game.
BAL 21
CLE 16

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/broncos_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/colts_30.gif
The Colts made 10 points in the 4th quarter for a come from behind win over the Broncos. Edgerrin James had 158yds rushing on the day. Unfortunately for Indianapolis it looks like they will come up short in the playoff race even if they win the last game against Houston. The Colts can only get in to the playoff with a division win. If they end up on the outside they can blame their week 1 loos to Cleveland for the outcome.
DEN 24
IND 30

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/titans_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/texans_30.gif
This was a very important win for the Titans. They will meet Tamper Bay next week and now have a chance of picking up a wild card even if they loss the division title to the Colts. If that happens they need to hope that Oakland loss to San Diego. Steve McNair is now the second QB with a QB-rating above 100 for the season.
TEN 34
HOU 20

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/packers_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/raiders_30.gif
Brett Favre became the first QB in the eNFL to break 4000yds passing when he picked up 283yds today in the game against the Raiders. With 4 new TDs in the book he now only need a single TD in the last game against Denver to break the magic 40 TD record. But today it was not enough to beat the raiders and Rich Gannon. Gannon became only the 3rd QB in the eNFL to pass for more then 400yds in a single game. He was the man behind the 16 unanswered points that made them slip by the Packers by a single point. Oakland’s Jerry Porter showed that he got what it takes to step out of the shadow from Jerry Rice and Tim Brown. Today he had 151yds and 2 TD. Raiders still need Kansas to drop a game to win the title.
GBY 28
OAK 29

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/chiefs_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/vikings_30.gif
The Vikings did everything right. They held Priest Holmes to a season low 47yds. They out gained Kansas both running and throwing. But still came up short. They had the chance when they recovered an onside kick with 0:56 left to play and only down by three points. But an interception at the Kansas 26yds line ended the game.

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/dolphins_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/bills_30.gif
This was a huge win for the Dolphins. Miami’s winning streak was broken by New England. The GM of Miami put a lot of the blame on a bad game plan. For reasons yet unknown they used the same game plan the next week against the Eagles with the same result. The second loss in a row. This week they changed game plan and suddenly we recognize the Dolphins again. 182yds by Ricky William almost secure his most yards rushing title this year. He leads Jerome Bettis by 186yds before the last game. Believe it or not but the 11-4 record by Miami will properly not be enough to get them the division title.
MIA 27
BUF 17

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/patriots_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/jets_30.gif
The title will most likely go to New England. They will meet Buffalo and play for a bye week. But then Tom Brady must play better then he did this week. The Patriots was lucky to come away with a win after 3 Int.

Seven teams compete for the six playoff spots.

Pittsburgh 12-3 (vs. Ravens)
New England 11-4 (vs. Bills)
Tennessee 10-5 (vs. Buccaneers)
Kansas 10-5 (vs. Bears)
Miami 11-4 (vs. Jets)
Oakland 11-4 (vs. Chagers)
Indianapolis 9-6 (vs. Texans)

Actually i believe if Tennessee loses and Indi wins the Colts win the division with their near perfect divisional record.

Seeing as how the Titans are playing the number 1 ranked team in the league it should make for an interesing week, and the Colts have a pretty good chance at getting in.

Yes, I think you are right Jeff061.

Every playoff team from the eAFC will have a shot at the eSuper Bowl. From the eNFC I think Green Bay and Tampa will fight for the title.

I am glad the 49ers are not on that side of the playoff table.

From: Northwood @ e49ers.com

This week we just lost to a team a lot more motivated to win. The Eagles now got five in a row and have a very good shot at a playoff spot. Not a lot of people would have guessed that when they felt to 3-7 after week 11. Donavan McNabb has not had a great year but if they squeeze them self in to the playoff they will be dangerous to everybody.

Harry Curtis did nothing special today. It was his first starting game without an Int, but 4 bad throws is a bid much. We need to sit down and figure out what to do with him next year. He got decent potential (and low volatility) to be a backup but he has only improved 1 point since the first week of the season. He will get a last chance to prove him self against Seattle. Jeff Garcia has been upgraded from out to probable and will be in full strength in another two weeks. But there is no way in h… I will play him this week and risk his health.

According to our scout has Barlow now passed Hearst in current rating. He has already improved 6 points. I’m afraid that we cannot expect a lot more improvement from him. We can only hope that his mentor (Hearst) and find some extra potential in him. 83yds today is ok, but when you get 40 of them on a single run I think we can expect some more. I think we need to have a word with the GM of Miami and see if we can get some tips on setting up the game plan for running games.

Next week will possibly be the last game for Tai Streets in red and gold. I don’t think he got the skills to be a starter and I don’t want to spend the kind of money he demands on a guy sitting on the bench. We need to follow Brandon Lloyd very closely. He got the potential, but he have to learn to hang on to the ball. He have only improved 2 points till now but let’s hope he will have a good traningcamp this year.

I think we did the right thing re-signing the Pochman anyway. This week he made 46, 50 and 52yds FG and only missed another 52yds FG a bit short.

Bryant Young and Derek Smith have had outstanding years. I think we are very close to have an outstanding D-line and they are all under contract for 3years or more.

Both teams were out of the playoff a long time ago. Still 54.600 “fans” turned up to see the Cardinals get beaten one last time this year. Minnesota got the tools with Daunte Culpepper and Randy Moss but only one win against a team in the eNFC North (vs. Bears in week two) must be a major concern.

Another two teams just waiting to pack the bags and catch a flight to some place warm and forget all about this season. The Browns drop another game and go 0-6 to finish off the season. They will draft second this year.
There is still controversy around the eNFL regarding the Browns line-up in the last games (this included). Expect more on this story later.

OT was necessary to split the Cowboys and the Saints. Long forgotten is Dallas fine start to the season. They are in desperate need of a WR and it will also be interesting to see if Quincy Carter has a future in Dallas. He is under contract until 2005. His rating has gone up 7 points this season but he still need a lot of improvement. He was one of twenty QBs to start all 16 games this season.

The rest of the matches had a possible effect on the final playoff picture. We start with the eAFC where 7 teams were fighting for 8 playoff spots.

With a win against a Baltimore team with only pride to play for Pittsburgh could secure home field advantage all the way to the Super Bowl. The Ravens three first possession looked like this.
80yds in 8:21 for a TD
84yds in 5:49 for a TD
74yds in 0:35 for a TD
But the Steelers and Kurt Warner came back. Warner completed for 404yds and tied the game with only 0:37 left to play on a TD and a successful conversion. Unluckily for Pittsburgh Baltimore only needed 0:37 to move the ball 64yds and set up a winning FG. This was an expensive game for the Steelers in many ways. A loss opened the door for Miami or New England to steal the home field advantage. With a 404yds game Kurt Warner broke 4000yds for the season by 85yds. That means the Steelers must pay the Rams a first round pick as part of the trade.

Ricky Williams ends up only 143yds shy of 2000yds for the season. He posted his 11 +100yds game today and with Jay Fiedler completing 20 of 27 the game was never close. Now it was Miami’s turn to sit and wait for the result in the New England vs. Buffalo game.
A bye week to Miami will not be enough to bring back super star Jason Taylor. He was injured today and will properly miss the rest of the season. He is reported out for 5 weeks.

The longest FG this season in the eNFL was a monster 56yds by Jason Elam. Their for it was a bit of a reach when Vinatieri attempted a 57 yard field goal to win the game in OT. The attempt came up short. That gave Buffalo pretty good field possession and they shot the door 8 plays later with a short FG. Miami wins the division and home field and the Pats must get ready to play again this week on the road. Buffalo is proberly one of the strongest teams left out of the play off this season with a 9-7 record.

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/bears_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/chiefs_30.gif
Kansas just needed a win over Chicago to win the eAFC West. They get in trouble early in the game and need to make 14 points in the last 1:50 just to tie the game. In OT the Chiefs win the ball but looses it on the second play due to T Greens second interception of the day. It just takes the Bears two plays to take it in for a TD. Brian Urlacher had a monster game and made a good last impression before the GM in the eNFL had to vote for the Pro Bowl teams. He recorded 11 Tck, 2 Ass, 1 Sck and 1 Int.
Both teams will make it to the playoff but Kansas have to wait for the result of the Oakland game to see if they get the title.

The Titans had a tough challenge in front of them. They invited Tampa Bay to come play in the snow. The game had a very different outcome then most people expected. The Titans won the game a convincing 31-0 and Tamper looked very uninspired on the day.
When the Buccaneers got back to Florida 14 players (7 starters from this weeks game) was listed as questionable due to symptoms of influenza. Six of them for two weeks and the rest for only one week. This is very bad news for the Tamper Bay Buccaneers. Luckily they had already secured a bye week but this will definitely have some effect on the team later in the playoff. GM of Tamper Bay has called a press conference later today and we expect to get more information.

The Texans was out played by more then 150yds but sill managed a win. Mike Vanderjagt misses his first extra point of the year in this game and Indianapolis must be a bit disappointed to be left out in the cold with a 9-7 record.

Seahawks need a win to go into the playoff as winners of the eNFC West. They travelled down the coast to San Francisco and the 49ers. Up by 3 points with 2:21 left and the ball on the 49ers 19yds line and backup QB Harry Curtis with the ball it looks possible for the Seahawks. But Curtis wants go get a victory before he leaves the 49ers for free agency. He moves the ball down field on a 78yds drive in the dying seconds of the game and the game is tied with a 20yds FG with only 0:04 left to play. In OT Seattle twice try to make +50yds FG to end the match but come up short both times. Instead the 49ers get the last shot with a chance to win the match when they call their last timeout on the Seahawks 12yd line with only 0:19left to play. Pochman makes no mistakes and make the winning 29yds FG.

The clock showed 6:57 left to play in the 4th quarter when James Mungro ran in a TD for the Lions. The scorer was 19-7 and it looked bad for the Rams. Once again Marc Bulger steppes up and show that he is the QB for the future in St Louis. He puts together two TD-drives to take the Rams past the Lions in the game and past the Seahawks in the division.

eESPN Breaking News

When the Tamper Bay Buccaneers GM Mr wbonoell called a press conference earlier this week most people and journalist expected an update on the influenza epidemic. Nobody was ready for this.

Quote:
Therefore, I tender my resignation effective at the end of the postseason. Before I depart, however, I'd like to see if I can guide the Bucs to the Super Bowl

This came as lightning from a clearer sky and the hunt for a new GM has now started. Whoever takes over the team will get a well-oiled machine. Tamper Bay has their hole starting line-up signed up for next year and has almost no lost cap money.

All his colleagues GM in he eNFL are sorry to see him go and wish good luck.

This is the second GM leaving a playoff team this season. St Louis also made changes in the front office this season.

We will follow up this story later and hopefully get the first word with the new GM when his is found.

eESPN Breaking News

The following press release has just been sent from the eNFL Headquarter in Scranton.


Quote:
In the NFL, if a team does not put itself in the best position to win on Sunday, and instead defers current production for a future benefit, that benefit must be obvious, definite, and worthwhile.."

Academically, under this rule, I cannot defend the playing of Howard Carlisle and Vinny Lustyk over Tim Couch. Neither Carlisle nor Lustyk is a definite benefit (both being FAs after this season), and protecting Tim Couch against injury (not to mention not giving him more experience) is not worthwhile. Due to Jamel White's contract, knowing his production is an obvious and definite benefit, but I don't know if knowing what to do with his $2m in cap space is worth more than the status quo. Starting Micah Ross over either Andre Davis or Quincy Morgan does not have an obvious benefit. Resting Orpheus Roye due to a possible injury is not a definite benefit, nor is it likely to be worthwhile.

This does hurt the integrity of the league, as the loss against St. Louis had a definite impact on the NFC West race. In my estimation, had Cleveland been playing the "A" squad against the final four opponents, they would have won two out of four instead of oh out of four. So, for purposes of the draft, I will treat Cleveland as a 5-11 team. Therefore, they will draft fourth, behind Carolina, New Jersey, and Cincinnati. End quote

To read the full press release please follow this link: http://www.tredsoft.com/eNFL/viewtopic.php?t=248&start=15

From the eESPN studio we think his was a very good solution by Commissioner TredWel to a very difficult case. With this action both the eNFL and Cleveland will be able to move ahead. The eNFL has also taken action to put together a rules committee to deal with these questions in the future.

From: Northwood @ e49ers.com

It was nice to finish the season on a high note. That was a great win against Seattle. I’m really glad Harry Curtis got his first victory. I still think he has done a great job as understudy for Jeff Garcia. I want him back next year but we have to wait and see if he prices himself out of our reach. I have booked flight tickets to take us to the scouting combine 28-27 February. You never know if we find the next Montana or Young.

Tai wants more then $10 to sign a new contract. I think we can better value other places. Interesting to see who will pick him up in FA. Also nice that Lloyd finally stepped up. This was possible his first game without a drop and 53yds is a new personal best for him.

Chidi Ahanout will be the biggest name leaving us this season. We can use the +$5.00 he is asking for this year other places. Especially when we have John Engelberger on the bench just dying for a chance to play.

eNFL annual award show


It’s an honor to announce that the eNFL annual award show will start on Friday 13 February live on the eNFL Bulletin Board.

Until now we have revived the vote ballots from more then half of the GM in the eNFL. We have some very close races in some of the categories and still hope to get some more votes before the deadline midnight 12-13 February.

The players for the eNFL Pro Bowl will also be presented in this show.

The musical entertainment this year will be provided by your own mp3 player.

It’s also a pleasure to announce that we will have a special guest star on the show (It will not be Janet Jackson so kids can watch). This secret guest will announce the winner of the biggest price of them all eNFL GM 2003.

Sorry i am a bit late on the updates from the wild card games. I just give you a small brief.

New York got Kerry Collins back from injury and he played a got game with 311yds and two TDs. The game was tied at 20-20 early in the 4th quarter. The Eagles win the game on a 10yds Duce Staley run with 6min left to play.

The Rams suddenly looks like a real contender and not a team that almost slipped in to the playoff. This game everything clicked. Faulk got 142yds rushing, Bulger 374yds passing with 2 TD and 1 Int and finally both Bruce and Holt catches for more then 100yds (117yds and 120yds)

New England must realy kick themselves for the loss in week 17 in OT to Buffalo. Instead of staying home and enjoy a bye week they had to travel to California and play the Raiders. The big play of the game was a 44yds run/scramble by Rich Gannon for a TD. That and a very reliable Sebastian Janikowski was enough for the Raiders. They travel across the country to meet Miami next week.

A snow game in Tennessee. The first time the Titans allowed Kansas to get in to the red zone was with less then 2:00 left to play. By then the game was over long ago. The Titans deafens managed to stop the Kansas run and now they will travel to Pittsburgh to meet Warner and Bettis.

Good morning coach. Was that a wild weekend or what? Can you remember if this has ever happened before? All 4 top-ranked teams gone. All teams with bye week and home field advantage gone. Last week I would have gusset Miami – Green Bay in Super Bowl I, but now its everybody’s chance.

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/raiders_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/dolphins_30.gif
Remember Chris Hetherington? Not a lot of people do and the reason is that he has not played a single game this year. But today against Miami he made the Raiders first 6 points. He found himself on the field due to an injury to Zack Crockett and was in the end zone to catch a short pass from Gannon on the opening drive of the game 14plays – 80yds - TD. Miami managed to put a FG on the board before the first quarter was over.
Ricky Williams did not have a great day. He only managed 96yds for the day and 47 of those yards came in the end of the second quarter when he ran around Lincoln Kennedy almost at midfield at went all the way for a TD. The next points in the game came in a strange way. I cannot recall seeing a call like this before

1-10-MIA04 (08:00) MIA 9 Fiedler pass fell incomplete, intended for 34 Williams.
OAK 53 Romanowski defended the pass.
Penalty: MIA - Offensive Holding. Safety called on penalty in end zone.

Miami was now only up by a single point. With 09:50 left to play Sebastian Janikowski changed that with a 40yds FG. Now Oakland was up by two. On the next drive Miami had a chance to get back on top. They tried a 53yds FG but missed short of the crossbar. That turned out to be their last chance. They never saw the ball again. Gannon managed to run down the clock. The key play was a 24yds pass to Porter on 3-21 with 3:22 left to play.

The Titans came in to this game with a six game winning streak and a win against the Steelers in week 4.But that didn’t realy seam to bother Kurt Warner and the Steelers in the first three quarters. By then they had build a nice 21-6 lead and was half way to the conference final against Oakland. The Titans needed something big to happen. And something did. Derrick Mason suddenly became hot. It only took the Titans 5 minutes in the 4th quarter to make 2 TDs and tie the game at 21-21. A lot of the yards came from Mason who managed 196yds for the day. That’s the second most yards in a single game this season. OT was needed to get a winner. Pittsburgh won the toss but managed to loos 11yds on the three first tries and had to punt. Tennessee got the ball on their own 28yds line. On 13 plays they managed to move the ball to the Steelers 01yds line with great help from the Steelers themselves. They had some huge penalties on the drive including an Intentional Face Mask and Unnecessary Roughness. Pittsburgh had a total of 83 penalty-yards in the game. From the 1yds line it only took the Titans two try’s to get in for a TD and a place in the conference final home in Tennessee against the Raiders (a rematch from week 1).

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/eagles_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/packers_30.gif
On the first drive of this game Green Bay moved the ball 77yds for a new Donald Driver TD (7yds from Favre) That was number 13 for the season. It was also the only score in the first quarter. The second quarter all belonged to the Eagles. They made 21 unanswered points to be 21-7 at halftime. The first seven points came from a 10 plays 84yds drive that finished with a 3yds TD pass to Andre Johnson. The next TD was a 6 plays 45yds drive on the very next possession finished off with a Brian Westbrook 3yds run. The last TD by the Eagles in the second quarter was a great Todd Pinkston 85yds punt return. In the second half Brett Favre only managed to get in to the Eagles red zone one time only to see the special team miss the short field goal. Later in the half the teams traded field goals and the final score was 24-10. Eagles managed to shout down the Green Bay running game to only 62yds.


http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/rams_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/buccaneers_30.gif
Marshall Faulk picked a very good day to set a new personal season best. His 164yds on the ground including the last TD of the game was a big reason why we now have to look for a new Super Bowl champ. If it was the influenza or just bad timing that send them out of this years playoff is not good to say. They only won 1 of the last 5 games this season and it looks like they ran out of steam a little to early. Today they fought back after getting behind early in the game. The lead would change two times more before a 85yds punt return by Antwaan Randle El would put the Rams back in front for god. The Rams will now host the Eagles in the fight for getting to the big game.

Conference final preview

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/raiders_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/titans_30.gif
#4 seed Oakland raiders must travel to Tennessee to meet the #3 seed Titans on a rain full day for a place in eNFL Super Bowl I. The teams look very much alike at the moment. Oakland will try to extend a 6 game winning streak while Tennessee will try to make it 8 wins in a row. The two teams played each other all the way back in week 1 in Tennessee. The Titans 23-7 won that game.
Tennessee will be without TE Erron Kinney and LG Tom Ackerman. Shad Meier will replace Kinney but the Ackerman injury can prove to be a difficult hole to close for the Titans.
Oakland got three players out and 3 others on questionable. The Raiders will properly take a chance and play DE Trace Amstrong, DT Dana Stubblefield and RG Mo Collins despite of injuries.
This game can very well be decided by turnovers. Tennessee finished the regular season with the best turnover margin (+20) with only 4 fumbles and 5 interceptions. Oakland had a total of 21 turnovers this season with Gannon throwing 15 picks.
Tennessee is favoured 4 points in the point spread.

This must be considered a huge surprise. Not a lot of people would have guessed this match up if asked half way thru the season. The Eagles is still cruising on the great comeback wave and will try to ride it all the way to the Super Bowl. St Louis come off a strange season. First was the huge but very controversial deal with Kurt Warner. Then they changed GM in the middle of the season. They needed help in the last round by San Francisco to beat Seattle to even get in to the playoff and now they stand only one step from the Super Bowl. Mark Bulger has had a very fine playoff this fare. +500yds and 5TD is the result. With more then 4000yds for the season could not have wished for a better first season as starting QB for the Rams. Marshall Faulk got 142 and 164yds running in the two first games and the Eagles need to stop him if they want to get another game this year. If any team can stop him it might be the Eagles. They have the best run defends this year and only allowed 85yds pr game in the regular season.
St Louis is a completely healthy team. The only player not 100% is backup DT Brian Young. The Eagles got four starters on the injury list. Duce Staley was inactive last week but is listed as probable this week. DE Darwin Walker is questionable with a strained knee. Expect Jerome McDougle to play this week.

eNFC Conference final

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/eagles_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/rams_30.gif
An audience of 63200 was present when the Eagles kicker David Akers opened the game for the eNFC title (and a place in the eSuper Bowl) with a 65yds kick
The first half was not pretty. 2 interceptions, 2 missed FGs, 4 punts, 1 FG and 3 TDs was the final result. St Louis struggled the most with only 7 first downs and was down 17-7 at halftime. The second half doesn’t get a lot better for the Rams. The Eagles makes another 10 points in the 3rd quarter to go up by 20 points. The Rams try’s to come back but nothing works. They only got one receiver with more then 50yds and Faulk has his first fumble of the season. In the second half the Rams go:

Quar Began Poss From Plays Yards Result
3 11:54 1:11 OWN 21 3 -3 Punt
3 7:36 0:08 OWN 20 1 -2 Fumble

4 7:48 1:43 OWN 43 6 57 Touchdown

That’s simply not enough to take them to the eSuper Bowl. The final result is 27-14 and Philadelphia Eagles is going to the eSuper Bowl.

eAFC Conference final

http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/raiders_30.gif http://i.cnn.net/si/images/football/nfl/logos/titans_30.gif
They played each other in the first week of the season and now they meet again in the last game before the eSuper Bowl. This time the game was decided by a 27-points scoring streak from the middle of the second quarter until the end of the game. Before that, the game was pretty even. The Titans was up 17-7. But from the time Oakland WR Jerry Porter pulled in a 30yds pass from Gannon with 6:23 to play in the second quarter the Titans never scored again. Porter only two games with more then 100 catching yds in the regular season. Today he was only 2yds from breaking the magic 200yds line. It’s pretty obvious that the raiders have a game plan with a lot of long throws by QB Gannon. Today .534 of his passes was for more then 9yds.

That was more then enough to earn Oakland Raiders a place in the eSuper Bowl.

It realy hasn’t paid off to be the home team in this playoff. Only three teams have managed to get a win at home (.300) and they all came in the wild card round. It will be the #4 ranked Raiders vs. #6 ranked Eagles in eSuper Bowl I in two weeks.
