Ughh, haha, losses this season have been by 6, 5, 1, and 2 points. Guess it just happens sometimes the tide doesn't go your way.

Bleakardor, I think you might have a real good chance today. Best of luck!  Except that I can't scout as I still can't figure out how to find a teams game history. I even burned my "Match of the year" option on this game and it wasn't even close. Last edited on 2025-10-15 21:06:44 by Bleakardor |

🏈 Game of the Week: Kirky 44’s (26) @ Braska Bangers 09 (17)
In what was billed as the clash of the titans — two undefeated squads, both playing at an elite level — only one would walk away perfect. And this week, Kirky 44’s proved they’re the real deal, grinding out a disciplined 26–17 road victory over Braska Bangers 09 in front of a massive crowd of 135,971. 🔹 First Half: Tactical Punches The Bangers struck first midway through the opening quarter, with Achmed Hadad finding Lionel Marty on a tight 2-yard TD pass. But Kirky quickly responded — and kept responding. Lyle MacGillivray’s leg was busy early, drilling 34- and 41-yard field goals before Keir MacFarlane powered through a blitz for a 6-yard touchdown run. At halftime, Kirky led 16-10, controlling possession and pace. 🔹 Second Half: Defense and Discipline The 44’s defense — led by Hugh Muir (10 tackles, 1 INT) and Ron Schneider (forced and recovered fumble) — clamped down hard, forcing two key turnovers and limiting Braska to just one third-quarter first down. Offensively, Ulrick Toussaint found Maxwell Leslie for a short 2-yard TD strike to extend the lead to 23–10. 🔹 Late Push by the Bangers To their credit, Braska kept fighting. Ernestas Janonis punched in a late 4-yard rushing score with six minutes left, trimming the lead to nine. But Kirky’s veteran poise and MacGillivray’s fourth field goal of the day (23 yards) iced it for good. 🔹 Key Performers Kirky 44’s 🏆 QB Ulrick Toussaint: 30/49, 280 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT WR Kyle Paisley: 15 catches, 154 yds — unstoppable in space K Lyle MacGillivray: 4/4 FG, 2/2 XP — Mr. Reliable LB Hugh Muir: 10 tackles, 1 INT, 2 TFL RB Banning Napier: 15 carries, 67 yds Braska Bangers 09 QB Achmed Hadad: 19/25, 179 yds, 1 TD RB Ernestas Janonis: 8 carries, 47 yds, 1 TD WR Martin Horan: 5 catches, 50 yds CB Jackie Garrett: 12 tackles — defensive anchor all day 🔹 By the Numbers Total Yards: Kirky 391 – Braska 317 Third Down Conversions: Kirky 58% – Braska 36% Turnovers: Braska 3 – Kirky 1 Time of Possession: Kirky 32:41 – Braska 27:19 🔹 Final Take Kirky 44’s showed why they belong atop the standings — a complete, disciplined effort featuring sharp QB play, efficient clock management, and a defense that forced mistakes at the right times. Braska, while suffering their first loss, proved they can hang with anyone — but they’ll need better red zone execution to reclaim the top spot. |

🏈 Game of the Week Recap
Sydney Sloths (16) @ Bonaval Acorns (17) Attendance: 119,232 Kickoff: October 25, 2025 — 15:00 (League Play) ⚡ The Thriller in Bonaval The Bonaval Acorns edged out the visiting Sydney Sloths in a dramatic 17–16 victory that came down to the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Both teams traded momentum all afternoon in what felt like a playoff preview, with defenses bending but rarely breaking. The Sloths drew first blood with an early field goal and carried a 3–0 lead through most of the first quarter. But Bonaval found its rhythm in the second, capitalizing on a sustained 12-play, 54-yard drive capped by a short touchdown plunge from Josep Miranda, taking a 10–3 halftime advantage. 🔄 Back-and-Forth Second Half The Sloths clawed back in the third with another field goal and then took a 16–10 lead midway through the fourth on a deep 80-yard bomb from Heath Sexton to Lorenzo Terry, who blew past the secondary for his only touchdown of the day. Terry’s 5 catches for 113 yards earned him Offensive MVP honors, including that highlight-reel play that silenced the 119,000-plus home fans. But Bonaval refused to fold. Quarterback Osvaldo Carrasco responded with a poised 74-yard drive late in the fourth, capped by a short touchdown run from Miranda—his second of the game—to regain the lead 17–16 with just over two minutes remaining. Sydney’s last-ditch effort stalled just past midfield after Amancio Bravo came up huge for the Acorns defense, snagging a key interception that sealed the win. Bravo finished with six tackles and the game-clinching pick, earning Defensive MVP honors. 📊 Key Performers Player Team Stat Highlights Lorenzo Terry (WR) Sydney 5 receptions, 113 yards, 1 TD (80-yard longest) Heath Sexton (QB) Sydney 16/25, 217 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT Oisín Maguire (RB) Sydney 24 carries, 75 yards Josep Miranda (RB) Bonaval 15 carries, 50 yards, 2 rushing TDs Osvaldo Carrasco (QB) Bonaval 24/31, 192 yards, 1 TD, 103.1 rating Amancio Bravo (LB) Bonaval 6 tackles, 1 INT (Defensive MVP) 🧱 Defensive Battle Highlights Both defenses showed grit under pressure. The Sloths’ front seven, led by Nick London (9 tackles, 4 for loss) and Sebastian Nedved (1 forced fumble, 1 recovery), held Bonaval to just 3.3 yards per rush. But it was Bonaval’s ability to generate timely turnovers—two interceptions and a late fumble recovery—that ultimately swung the balance. 🕹️ Turning Points 2nd Quarter – Miranda’s First TD: Bonaval’s 12-play drive ended with a score and shifted momentum. 4th Quarter – Terry’s Deep Strike: Sexton’s 80-yard TD gave Sydney temporary control. Final Minutes – Bravo’s INT: The defensive anchor ended Sydney’s comeback hopes and locked in the Acorns’ one-point win. 🏆 Final Thoughts In a packed stadium roaring with tension, the Bonaval Acorns proved their mettle with clutch execution and discipline down the stretch. The Sloths, meanwhile, will leave frustrated but motivated—knowing they out-gained the Acorns through the air yet couldn’t finish when it mattered most. Final Score: Bonaval Acorns 17 – Sydney Sloths 16 Record Implications: Bonaval rises with a statement home win; Sydney’s narrow loss keeps them hungry heading into next week. |

🏈 Game of the Week: Texas Reapers (28) @ Sydney Sloths (29)
Attendance: 138,492 — and not a single fan left early, because this one went down to the final drive. A One-Point Heartbreaker Down Under In front of nearly 140 thousand roaring fans in Sydney, the Sloths proved they may move slow in name only. The Reapers clawed their way through a messy but gutsy performance, only to fall short — literally by a single point — in a 29-28 thriller that featured everything from 50-yard field goals to multiple interception touchdowns. It was the kind of game that leaves coaches hoarse, quarterbacks questioning their life choices, and fans double-checking their blood pressure. The Tale of Two Halves (and Two Pick-Sixes) The Sloths opened hot, with Frederik Kristensen drilling a 50-yard field goal before Per Lindén snuck in a short run to make it 10-0 early. That lead didn’t last long — Reapers CB B.J. Stern jumped a route and sprinted 31 yards to the house, his second interception touchdown this season, bringing life back to the Reapers sideline. From there, both offenses traded punches like tired boxers — efficient at times, sloppy at others. Gene McLaurin found Ryan Murray for a red-zone score, while Kristensen continued to boot his team to safety with a relentless string of field goals from 34, 28, 39, and 20 yards out. And then, disaster struck (again). The Reapers’ offense was finally clicking — until a short pass went sideways and Jaxson Ahern, a middle linebacker with hands softer than expected, turned it into another 31-yard pick-six. That play gave the Sloths the edge that ultimately decided the game. Reapers’ Dual-QB Dilemma Texas rotated both Buster Cambell and Gene McLaurin, who combined for 309 yards, 2 TDs, and 4 interceptions. That’s not exactly a winning formula, but the Reapers somehow kept pace thanks to efficient mid-range passing — especially from Bruno Pinto, who posted 10 catches for 95 yards and a TD despite being harassed all game by Sloth corners. The Reapers’ run game? A mixed bag of “please stop doing that.” Rickey Swanson carried 14 times for 16 yards (yes, you read that right — 1.1 yards per carry). If there’s a silver lining, it’s Jon Waters, who turned just two carries into a crucial 10-yard touchdown late in the fourth. Sloths Win Ugly (and They Don’t Care) Sydney’s offense wasn’t much prettier — their quarterbacks combined for just 167 yards, 0 TDs, and 4 interceptions, yet the defense bailed them out every time. The pass rush was monstrous, with Lincoln Ziadie leading the way (6 TFL, 1 INT) and Mariano Adler pulling in two timely picks. Running back Oisin Maguire quietly dominated the ground game, rushing for 99 yards on 17 carries — crucial in a contest where every yard mattered. But let’s be honest: this one belonged to Kristensen. Five field goals, including one from midfield, in a one-point win? That’s not just clutch — that’s MVP material. Turning Point It’s poetic, really — the Reapers were reaping until a single overthrown slant turned into a 31-yard Ahern touchdown. One bad read cost them the win, and possibly their composure. Sometimes the difference between 6-2 and 5-3 isn’t talent — it’s timing. Player of the Game Frederik Kristensen (K, Sydney Sloths) 5 for 5 on field goals (50, 34, 28, 39, 20) 2 PATs Scored 17 of his team’s 29 points. The man basically was the offense. Final Thoughts The Texas Reapers left Australia knowing they outplayed, out-passed, and out-tackled the Sloths — yet lost anyway. That’s football in its cruelest form: where a kicker’s foot and a linebacker’s pick can rewrite an entire week’s narrative. Still, both squads proved playoff-ready. The Sloths survive another close one, and the Reapers? Well, they’ll be seeing that 31-yard interception return in their nightmares for a while. |

Very good write-ups!
Sorry for not responding here and there, I've been in and out of the hospital, and just lost my job due to "cost savings" So my focus has been all over the place. I didn't get to play Ion's/Thunders this season which makes me sad, makes fighting for that last WC spot even harder, and even harder still playing Crunch, Alberhaw, and Fargo Knights for 3 of the last 5 games. So this will probably be the first time in a long while I'm held out of the playoffs. But at least I'm starting to get some money back in the bank, still a lot of work to do though it's not coming in nearly fast enough haha. |
