MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Here
we go again! Start of the 14th
ISFL season is this week and hopefully everyone is ready to go for
another great season of internet football.
Please get in contact with your opponent asap as I assume
everyone can get games played as I haven’t heard from anyone that they
can’t host or connect. Good
luck to all as we get started and make sure you read the whole
newsletter as there is a lot of info to remind yourself of, especially
right below. Have at it!
A new
game update is available dated 8/17, please get it from the ISFL website
before you play any games this week.
Don’t
forget, if you lose a player for 2 or more games, you can ask for an
injury replacement, but it must be done the same week as the injury, so
don’t wait, get those requests in right away and take advantage,
especially the teams who are already challenged for the amount of games
they have to work with (this obviously doesn’t apply to anyone who won’t
be playing in the playoffs).
Reminder that you MUST send a boxscore and writeup to the league after
each game. The home team is
responsible for this, but either team can do it, as long as it does get
done. Also, you MUST send me
the game export immediately after the game is complete.
It takes about 30 seconds, so I shouldn’t have to chase you down
for that file after a game, just get it in right away so I don’t have to
guess whether a game has happened or not.

II.
News from Around the League
In
the AFC, we kick off the season with some great matchups already as we
will find out early who is a contender and who may have a long season
ahead of them. The marquee matchup has Indianapolis heading to New York
for a replay of last years AFC Championship game with the Colts looking
for some revenge and a quick start to their season, while New York looks
to become the first repeat winner in 10 seasons.
Houston will have something to say in the final outcome for the
conference and they open up with division rival Buffalo who look for
their first winning season in a few years.
Dallas will look to get back on top out West and open the season
with St. Louis and their new head coach, we’ll find out what the Rams
have in store for us this year in a tough opening contest.
Denver and San Diego start things off in a battle of the bottom
two from last year, who gets a leg up and a win right off the bat in
this matchup. Chicago at
Cleveland should be a good matchup as both teams look to be playoff
contenders and move into the top group of teams in the AFC this year.
Tennessee look to repeat as West champions this year and start
off with the rebuilt Patriots who will try and make some noise this
season. Minnesota and San
Francisco meet up in week 1 as both teams hope to stay with Tennessee
and Dallas in the playoff fight.
Finally, the commissioner and his Steelers will travel to Atlanta
and try and avoid their third straight season of poor starts so we don’t
have to go on a huge winning streak again this season.
In
the NFC, as has been said, the Rams start a new era under new ownership,
but have a lot of the pieces that took them to the final last year and
should be a team to reckon with again.
Carolina looks to parlay their big streak from last season which
got them into the playoffs into a second straight playoff season again
the Buccaneers who want to finally get into the playoff picture again.
Kansas City has made a lot of off season changes and will look to
push the Rams in the Central and they start off with division rival
Green Bay who are under new ownership and should be another team
contending for a playoff spot.
NY Giants and Jacksonville start off with a tough division
matchup of teams who should be fighting for that top spot in both the
division and conference. Atlanta
is rebuilding a bit with big questions at QB, but they’ll see if their
three headed monster at the position have an answer for the visiting
Steelers. Arizona looks to
continue their winning ways and are a tough matchup for Miami in week 1
as they continue to try and build towards the playoffs.
Detroit gets a rebuilding Seattle club as they try and contend
for the top spot in the East, while Philadephia and New Orleans have
maybe the biggest NFC matchup of the week as they should be in a four
way fight with the Cards and Panthers to win the NFC West this season.
