Tough but expected start for the Bandits. league tackle machine Jim Grisby 10 tackles, third best on the day. Of the 10 tackles 7 were swing passes to the RB resulting in 3 yds or less per completion. Catch percentages can be misleading in a time where short passes for minimal yards are the norm. Here’s to another top 10 pick!!!

GG Stars, the first three weeks are always the hardest since no team really has an identity yet so its hard to gameplan against. Good luck the rest of the season.

Good game. I counted team tackles for this game, Tampa had 76 tackles, New Jersey 25. Tackle totals are misleading too.

I only bring this up because tackle totals were a topic in HOF voting. I still say tackle totals are overrated, and this game is a prime example. I haven't counted tackles before this game but I would bet Generals get out tackled at a rate at least 2-1 because we usually have the ball 35-40 minutes a game.

On a side note, how in the **** can I shut down the Bandits for 50+ minutes then they bust 2 big plays at the end to make the game look closer?

Well, it doesn’t take much. We are offensively challenged until Driggers gets his accuracy up. Even then all our skill guys will be retired. It’s quite a fun project.

GG 4343. Pretty pissed about how this one ended, but I saw it coming. Losing to 4th quarter comebacks is my specialty!!! This one was technically a 2nd half comeback, but you get the idea.
