Congratulations to the final 4 teams...excited to see who the new Champion will be.

My prediction...for what it's worth....

Portland Storm
VS
New Jersey Generals

...and our Admin finally wins another Championship for the other Conference.

Nothing personal against any of the final 4 teams and I would be just as happy to be wrong and see any of you win it.


I hope that's not the kiss of death.

Good game Loftusranger, the Steamer put up a **** of a fight. The game could have gone either way but we got a couple more breaks from the sim than your team. Congratulations on a fine season and good luck in free agency/draft.

Good luck Warthog, I expect you'll be hoisting the trophy. Losing World Bowls is what New Jersey does, and personally I've lost the last 3 or 4 in a row across all leagues, maybe more. Some may say I'm due, but I feel more like the Buffalo Vikings of MFN. And yes I combined two franchise names on purpose.

GG Hellbringer/Panthers. Agree, that was one sloppy game. Watching your 100 AF RB fumble it away 3 times had to ****. But I also had a 100 AF RB fumble it twice. And we played in a dome, not like the weather was an issue.

But we would just throw an interception to give it right back. Which brings up my next oddity. Fugate threw 12 INTs all season and now has 8 in 3 playoff games. What the **** is going on?

lol - the Minnesota Bills. Actually, one of my favorite mixed phrasing is "well, it isn't rocket surgery."

Great game Warthog, great season too. I actually watched this game, after I clicked on the results, I can't watch without knowing the outcome because I get frustrated and turn it off. That would have happened for sure in this game as you were on fire in the 1st quarter. Right off the bat BOOM, a 75 yard TD. Ferguson started off throwing INTs and you kept moving the ball, but we just bent, holding you out of the end zone. Getting that TD in the 2nd was huge for us to get back in the game after it looked like we'd get blown out.

Second half was intense even though it was just a kicking contest. If we ran this sim 100 times, we probably have a 3 point game about 50% of the time or more, I think we're that evenly matched.

Congrats on a great season and you'll likely be the favorite to get back here for World Bowl XXV.

Congrats on the championship Greg. Amazing that we went this far in the playoffs and almost won it all when my QB was horrendous all playoffs. He threw 12 INTs in four playoff games after also throwing 12 INTs through the whole regular season. I get QBs having bad games, but having 4 horrible games in a row??? Is it just because of better opponents???
