I have to apologize to everyone for not posting about the Wildcard round. Unfortunately my old *** got sick and I actually called out of work for the first time in forever.

Duluth Timbers 14

A very close game between two evenly matched teams. This Timbers tied the game with 9:10 remaining in the 4th quarter when QB Early hit RB Bullard for a 29 yard touchdown pass. With 5:55 remaining, Portland QB Turner led his team on a 13 play 69 yard drive that consumed 5:00 and resulted in a 29 fieldgoal to give them the lead. With just 50 seconds left on the clock and no timeouts, Duluth QB Early completed to quick passes to get the ball to the Portland 41 yardline. This set up kicker John Doney for a 60 yard fieldgoal attempt which came up just short and wideright.

In a tight game where the Bears outgained the Cheetahs in yards, and the Bears QB Howard threw for 328 yards compared to Cheetahs QB Dorn who threw for 190 yards.

Seattle 18

In a defensive battle, Seattle did just enough on offense with 3 fieldgoals and a late touchdown to hold off Rock City while could never get the offense rolling. Rock City's longest drive was 27 yards and they only managed to cross the 50 one time as they got shutout.

Bermondsey Lions 23

Chicken Wing Foghorn Leghorns 20
Trslick

Chicken Wing took a 13 point lead early in the 3rd quarter 20-7 on a 51 yard fieldgoal by kicker Martin. For the next nearly 25 minutes, the Lions held them to just 32 total yards of offense making them look more like a Looney Tunes cartoon then a pro football offense. The lions began to chip away at the lead with a fieldgoal and a safety to pull with 8. With 7:48 remaining in the game, the Lions capped off a 9 play 65 yard drive with a 3 yard TD run and a 2 point conversion to tie the game. When the Chicken Wing's punted the ball to the Lions 8 yard line with 46 seconds remaining, it appeared the game was headed to overtime. Lions QB Messick led his team on a 3 play 65 yard drive throwing back to back 32 yard completions to WR Beckham and RB Lesage to set up a game winning 44 yard fieldgoal by kicker Moore.

LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP

INDIANAPOLIS
BIRN

VS

GREAT FALLS QUICKSILVER (-7)
CJFRED68


Indianapolis is appearing in their first title game and will be the next opponent that will attempt to dethrone the Quicksilver. They had a great season going 14-2 with one of the loses coming to the Quicksilver on the road in week 2, 30-3. The other lose came against Kansas which Indy avenged by beating them in the Conference championship. Can Indy avenge their other lose?

Great Falls has won 4 titles in a row and 5 out of the first 6 title games. They are attempting to finish their 2nd undefeated season. In fact, including preseason, regular season and the playoffs, the Quicksilver have lost a combined 10 games in 7 seasons.

Congratulations for the victory, CJ!

And to Birn for reaching the final of the Bowl...

Congrats Cj!

Thanks everyone....good game Birn.

I have really conflicting and mixed feelings.

On one side, I love that I won and have won and keep winning. 5 in a row and 6 out of the first 7 championships is amazing and I feel proud and excited.

On the other side, I feel guilty that I am having so much success and I want everyone to enjoy the league and have fun. I recruited owners to up the level of competition and cut down on AI run teams, in fact I've just recruited 4 more owners, Tman, Raidergreg, theadmiral and Mrtrancilsynn.

As league admin, I want someone else to win it all and have the league succeed and grow but as an owner, I want to win 5 more in a row.

Well, I hope everyone comes back for the next season. We have a bunch of new owners with ideas for renaming and relocating their teams. If ANYONE wants to make changes, let me know and I can do it for you for free.

In the draft, I can rename players too for free so just message me and I will make it happen.

Good luck to everyone tonight, hope you get no retirements and have plenty of cap space.

Will you make my mascot the "far east" aside from that leave everything as is. Also, as I've never personally customized a team before, what all do you get to personalize? I think I'm gonna do it in my league this upcoming season so would like to know what information to collect

Your mascot? You mean team logo?

You can move the team to anywhere in the world basically. For single teams, each change cost credits. If you are league admin, 10 credits allows you to change anything in the league for a season.

So if you want to move the team outside the USA, you have to unlock a country and then you can chose anywhere in that country.

You can name the team
You can change the team image
You can create a new Stadium
You can change the color scheme of the uniforms and helmets using 3 colors

Add that onto my name. Like instead of quicksilver I would be far east
