Guru's Golden Picks: Arena Week 8

[AFLGuru]

TD Storm. Lawrence Samuels. Philly's secondary is REALLY bad. 6:33 left in the quarter, 14-6 Tampons, on pace.

 

[AFLGuru]

Yeah, I think this game is gonna be over... TD on the return for Philly. Can't do that if you're gonna cover... but 4 TDs in the first quarter is a massive start towards 103 points.

5:30 left in the first, 14-13 Tampons

 

[AFLGuru]

Boy oh boy are we in for a ton of points today... Tampa was one tackle from another TD on the kick return. Tampa out to midfield starting their drive.

 

[AFLGuru]

Pick for Philly, but real easy pass interference call to make. Still a pretty lousy throw by Stafford.

 

[AFLGuru]

Tampa dunking and dinking their way down field... and now they're in the end zone... 20-13 Storm pending PAT.

 

[AFLGuru]

Boy that was a hell of a throw by Stafford... Perfect timing on the slant route to Toliver. 21-13 Storm... didn't see the time left, but we'll have at least a start to a drive in the 1st.

 

[AFLGuru]

Goodnes... ANOTHER great kick return... Philly in Tampa territory starting the drive with about 2:20 left.

 

[AFLGuru]

Wow... yeah, this over is gonna be REALLY easy... Philly scores a TD on a bad call by the ref that was RIGHT there. That first foot was out of bounds... anyway, it's 21-20 Storm within 50 seconds left in the first.

 

[AFLGuru]

21-20 end of 1

 

[AFLGuru]

Another pretty crappy throw by Stafford, but a big gainer because of it. Tampa inside the Soul 5.

 

[AFLGuru]

Insanely good touch pass by Stafford. I'm starting to be sold on him being a pretty good AFL QB as these games go on. He's had a hell of a season. TD Storm, 28-20 with 12:17 left in the 2nd.

 

[AFLGuru]

INCREDIBLE!!! ANOTHER TD for Philly... 28-27 with a whopping TEN minutes left in the 2nd. We could EASILY have 80 points at the half in this one.

 

[AFLGuru]

3rd and scary here for Tampa...

 

[AFLGuru]

Great throw by Stafford... Storm on the move AGAIN... what a surprise... Tampons at the Philly 14.

 

[AFLGuru]

Two poor throws by Stafford... 3rd and 10 again... at the 19, not 14

 

[AFLGuru]

Sh*t... Stafford gets picked. Not his fault. Bounced off of Samuels' hands. Should have been a catch and a first down. Philly takes over around midfield, 6:38 left in the half.

 

[AFLGuru]

Great throw by Graziani while getting hammered by the Storm d-line. TD Soul... 34-28 Philly with the Soul up a stop... 4:28 left in the 2nd.

 

[AFLGuru]

Kelvin Kinney apparently got tossed for Tampa... this isn't good for the Storm. He's a big part of their line protection. A terrible call by the refs on the kickoff costs the Storm as well. Your foot can be out of the back of the end zone... Anyway, Tampa starts on the 5.

 

[AFLGuru]

Tampa self-destructing... Dumb penalty.

 

[AFLGuru]

Philly with a nice pass rush here... 2nd sack of the day... but a nice catch by Dell with a few nice moves bail the Storm out.... Philly doubles their sack total for the year apparently.
