Don't post your plays in here, particularly if they are contrary to mine. Create your own thread if all you want to do is say what you're backing and it's contrary to me.

Seems as though there's a lot of people starting to jump on Austin. Allow me if I may, to all of the Austin backers out there right now... What the hell do you see in this Austin team that makes you think they're hanging tough with Vegas in Sin City? Serious question. Not an attack. Serious question. I'd really love to know. Because at every position on the field, including quarterback (even if it is Craig Whelihan) Vegas has an advantage. Can't be a sharp play... gotta be some systems. And though this game is a small part to a big week and a bigger season, if your system spits out Austin in this one despite those facts I showed before about the good teams at home against these dipcraps, you obviously either need work on your system, or have a much better way of capping games than I do. But again, I'm serious about this. I want to know what the cappers on this board that are backing Austin see in the Wranglers that they don't in Vegas that leads them to believe that they can stay within a score at the final gun. Not saying you're gonna be wrong. I just want to know what people are thinking. Under seems a pretty consensus play, though my gut says over from the 93 on the board because of Austin's poor defense (Craig Whelihan has dropped 55 in a game before... promise... I remember when he was Orlando's QB). Just want to figure your logics out.

Should have some action in the Vegas game shortly if gametracker is going to work... don't want to have to find the radio coverage.

good start so far... two Austin penalties and lots of plays... Vegas inside the 5... and this is always dangerous

11 plays no points so far... but 3 Austin penalites... 3rd and goal from the inch line after Whelihan came up short... TD Frank Carter... 6 minutes and 7 points for Vegas... I'll take that ALL night.

Couple quick throws for Austin and they're on the move... Did Skip Foster come up with a decent gameplan here?

Solid drive by Austin... One good QB rush led to a thrown away pass. Nice read on 3rd and long by Fitzgerald leading to the score. 7-7 around 5:30 left in the 1st

Having seen the first couple drives of this game, I'm impressed with both sides. Both offenses have ran solid drives, though Vegas' defense was one play from a stop. Austin making more stupid mistakes, but as I say that, Vegas picks up a false start penalty. Whelihan needs to bail them out of this hole...

Nice conversion by the Gladiators. Neither team has even tried a deep ball yet. Vegas inside the 10 again

That being said, this is Vegas' offense... if they throw an incomplete pass, they're likely going to be facing 4th and short a lot... They'll probably try Filer or Carter on a run here for the 2 yards.

Whelihan just threw a miserable pass on 4th down... I hate this guy. Austin takes over at their own 11 with about 14:45 left in the 2nd.
