GG Cork!

Apparently neither defense felt like playing today. Over 800 yards of total offense and 37 first downs. Finally, our MLB Fairbanks has a monster hit on your RB Schoonover to force a turnover as you were driving to tie it late in the fourth.

I think I'm going to be looking for a pass-oriented offensive coordinator in the offseason. Still trying to decide if giving up 20 points of skill to get one now would pay off...

I don't think it would be, the coordinators drive your development but I don't think that's the issue. The actual game play is driven from the current values of each attribute (adjusted for any injuries), period.

Some thoughts (I don't know your game plan and haven't spent any time looking at your games, so you may already have thought of these):

* Reduce deep passes, increase your short passes - deeper passes are by nature less accurate and more prone to incompletes or INT's.
* Look at the bad passes and see if your QB is under pressure - that will reduce his accuracy as well. It may be a pass blocking issue that's causing the problems.
* Look at the bad passes in the game log and look at your familiarity with both plays.
* Make sure your game plan is at least moderately balanced, if you throw too much your rate of success will decline.

Those are some ideas off the top of my head...

That was some offensive showcase by our teams. We have a bit of fumblitis going on which has hurt us in a few game so far this season. If Schoonover can learn how to hold on to the ball, he has the potential for a 2000 yd season.

Wow, your kicker sure has a strong leg! He drilled 3 50+ FG's including 2 over 55 yards!

He has definitely worked out well for us. I give him more opportunities because his bars are so high. He has missed some of those long ones, though, and it's no fun when that happens. :-)
