Guru's Golden Picks: AFL Week 4

[AFLGuru]

Anyone here interested in live updates on the Orlando game (starts in about 20 minutes)? I'll be happy to give them.

Anyone have news, I saw Pinny has no spread and seems late major move towards Orlando, Any updates would be cool...thanks Chicago QB Philyaw was probable, has it changed? ried to find some kind of pregame but to no avail

 

[AFLGuru]

Preds close +2... good thing we got in with this middle when Chicago was +4...

 

[AFLGuru]

Philyaw's in. McGriff is out according to Orlando radio, but is suited. Fleming is out.

Philyaw being in is the key... line should've moved 7 points because of it.

 

[AFLGuru]

Philyaw is limping a bit... Interesting move by Chicago moving Etu Molden to offensive specialist in place of Jeremy McDaniel for some reason... This could be bad for the under, as he's a pretty solid DB. Anyone else here for updates?

 

[AFLGuru]

Oh man, this Preds D is trying to knock Philyaw out for good... Hard nosed Preds football...

fire away...

 

[sharky99]

GL on your plays

 

[AFLGuru]

Preds are playing who's who on offense... 3 guys that haven't started before...

Preds score to open the game, Rush have it 1st and 20 around their own 20 or so. Roughly 8 left in the 1st. Orlando has hit Philyaw on all but one play so far.

 

[AFLGuru]

Philyaw is limping after every play. We want Todd Hammel...

 

[AFLGuru]

One play the Preds don't get pressure, easy pitch and catch to the Pred killer, Jeremy McDaniel... way too easy. 7-7 with 6 minutes left in the 1st.

 

[AFLGuru]

Same to you as always Sharky... missed your post amongst my own.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, when I post in-games here, these are my game notes for after the game... sometimes I provide info that seems useless to you all, but just know that it's for my records as well as your information. Calling it like I see it.

 

[degenerategambler]

7-7 after 1 thats a good start to the under....

 

[AFLGuru]

1st quarter's not over... Preds are marching the wrong direction after getting down to the Rush 5. They haven't showed a clock in awhile, but my guess says about 3 minutes left... This is great hard nosed football. Guys are hitting really hard in this one. Great game.

 

[AFLGuru]

Holy hell, this Fryzel kid is really fast for Orlando... almost made an acrobatic TD catch... 3rd and goal from the 15 for the Preds.

 

[AFLGuru]

3 delay of game penalties for the Preds on the drive... Hamilton fumbles. Crowd flustered him... Rush take over with 2 minutes left in the quarter on their own 20.

 

[AFLGuru]

Now we're through the 1st assuming Chicago lets the 9 seconds run off the clock. Preds commit 7 penalties in the first quarter by my count for 45 yards... These kids for the Preds have no clue. Looks like another typical Orlando/Chicago game, with the Rush trying to take advantage of Preds mistakes. But the Preds D line keeps getting to Philyaw, which might knock him out of this time and change the complete complexion.

7-7 after 1, Rush up a stop with the ball I believe it's 2nd and 15 from the Preds 22.

 

[AFLGuru]

TD Chicago on a perfect throw by Philyaw... Todd Hammel throws a pick on that play, but Philyaw's really good... Once again, Jermey McDaniel... I hate this guy.

14-7 Rush with 14 minutes left in the 2nd... Preds need a score on this drive or it's getting ugly early.

 

[AFLGuru]

Preds trying to run the ball and are doing it fairly successfully. Fryzel can't block worth a sh^t. 5 straight runs for the Preds have given them a 1st down around the Rush 15.

 

[AFLGuru]

Droppsies for Orlando... and another penalty.

Preds miscues with 9 minutes left in the 2nd: 7 penalties for 45 yards, botched kick return that fortunately wasn't recovered by Chicago, 3 dropped passes, 2 wide open missed receivers, 1 blown coverage...

4th down for the Preds... they're probably going for it.
