Saints win!  Though I would like to be the home team next time, since I do have the best record. 

Next up, those Aknos.

We each have the same record. Unless you want to go and find our records against common opponents, I'll just randomly pick something. It's at the Vet anyway.

I looked at the weeks and it looked like to me that I had a 5-3 record against division opponents, whereas you had an 8-0 record against division opponents.

That should probably be the way to break it up accordingly.  I'm not really willing to spend time and compare common opponents.

So you'll have the home-field advantage. 

You're gonna need it.

Baltimore won. Hmmmm. Akno owns the team. He was the one simulating the game. He's a Democrat....it's obvious that he cheated. 

Was this a playoff game? If so, I am very upset at the result. 

[Josh]

Damn, so close.  The Coastals had gotten further than I ever expected.

King's team won as well. Keep in mind you were one of the worst teams in the league, so feel lucky you made the postseason.

In some ways he is right, the PA 13ers were the Midwest Champions, but still ranked lower than 2 of the 3 wildcards.

[Akno21]

The weather in Philadelphia is flat-out ugly, with heavy snow and some wind. The Akno's come in with a team suited for this weather, with a power running game and strong defense. Meanwhile, the Saints also have a strong running game, but an explosive passing game. If Michael Irvin can shake Chris McAlister, expect the Saints to win it. However, if Aikman can't throw, it won't matter.

1st quarter, Aknos ball. Banks, from his own 33, short pass to Lewis, he reaches forward, and fumbles the football! Saints ball from the Baltimore 33 yard line. Nothing doing on offense for New Orleans, but Murray kicks a field goal with 12:35 left in the quarter. 3-0 New Orleans. Handoff, Holmes, and he bursts 25 yards to the Saints 22 yard line! From the six, Banks, takes the snap, runs forward, touchdown Baltimore! The PAT is good. Baltimore 7-3.

2nd quarter, bad punt by Richardson. The Saints will start off from the Akno 36. After a futile offensive possession, Murray converts on the field goal, 7-6 Saints. With 1:44 left in the half, Stover converts from 32 yards. At the half, Baltimore 10, New Orleans 6.

The Starbucks Halftime show is up next.

I meant he was the 2003 Seattle Seahawks.

[Akno21]

Well, we are back at Reggie White Memorial Field in Philadelphia, home of the Cheesesteaks.

3rd Quarter, Saints punting, and Jermaine Lewis returns it to the Saints 17 yard line. 3 plays later, 13-6 Aknos, good kick from Stover.

In the 4th now, Saints ball at the Baltimore 19, 3:08 left. Aikman looking for Williams in the end zone...incomplete. And they'll have to settle for Murray's 36 yard field goal. Baltimore leads 13-9. Saints get the ball back, their own 42 yard line. Aikman, to Smith up to the 46. 8 yards to Harper. 3rd down from the Akno 46, minute 16 left, and Aikman finds Irvin for 25 yards! Smith, 5 yard gain, Coleman, gets 2. 4th and 3, 24 seconds left, finds Irvin at the 7. 4th and goal, with 1 second left, it all comes down to this. Aikman, drops back, looks endzone, sees Smith...............

[Akno21]

He overthrows it! Baltimore is going to the AtlasBowl!
13-9!
