Them turn overs looked to have hurt St Louis.

If we're being honest there is zero way ABQ should have won that game, but that fumble from Sony Michel on one of Ridder's passes cost them dearly. If that doesn't happen, it's a whole different ball game with Memphis likely winning.

 

[Doom]

Sucks that my team lost, but what a game it was against the Vipers. Desmond Ridder did extremely well against the Vipers' defense. The running game, not so much despite Michel's touchdown. Fucking Giovani's the MVP of the game for shredding our rush defense.

There was one way. The Gio Bernard Avenue.

I will say this about Ridder:

He's only a rookie and already he's the first player in AFA history to pass for 400+ yards, complete 40+ passes in a game, *and* throw 50+ passes in a game. If your running game can be shored up and the offensive line finds more chemistry together, this team should be a playoff contender off the back of Ridder and Bryant alone.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

There was one way. The Gio Bernard Avenue.

Yeah Giovani Bernard scorched the defense early by breaking off 2 separate 70+ yard touchdowns in the game, which is why his stats look so monstrous.

[CakeWalker]

Luck is going to have to be dropped for the Legion's next game. smh

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Just a really bad offensive outing for Salt Lake, who had every chance to pull ahead this game and just couldn't capitalize. Bo Levi Mitchell throwing three interceptions should have been a death sentence for @Canadian Dragon.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Bo needs to be better.

However my pass rushing n running game is awesome . 8 sacks n a safety
