Congratulations to the Indianapolis Colts and Sri Gullapalli on his
first Super Bowl win.
Despite losing Aaron Rodgers for part of the season, the Colts still
take it all the way and win the big game.Great season also for Jeff Barricelli and the Philadelphia Eagles
who took this one all the way down to the wire and gave the Colts all
they could handle.The
season is now over and we take a month or so off while we wait on the
new game to be released.
Once I know for sure when this will happen I will publish an offseason
schedule with some exact dates and we can start working on next season.For now, enjoy and thanks once again to all of you for another
great season and look forward to the next already.There are updated files for the end of the season on the website
main page.
I
can’t stress enough that you need to IMMEDIATELY send me your game
export when the game is complete.Send your write up later on, that’s fine, but I MUST have the
game export as soon as the game ends or I’ll have to sim the game to
keep things moving along if it is missing at the deadline.
***There is a new game update available on the website, dated 10/10/14
***
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.
Also, be sure you give me enough names as the more injuries the more
likely someone else already grabbed the guy you want.
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.
The Indianapolis Colts capped off a great season with a 24 to 21 victory
over the Philadelphia Eagles to capture their first Super Bowl title.
The game was tight throughout and featured what had to be one of the
best endings in ISFL Super Bowl history.
The Colts got on the board first when their second drive of the game
went 80 yards on 15 plays ending with a John Kuhn 4 yard touchdown run.
The Eagles tied the game with 5 minutes left in the half engineering
their own 13 play, 83 yard drive that ended with a 4 yard Alfred Morris
run tying the game at 7. The Eagles got the ball back at their own
42 yard line with 49 seconds left. They moved the ball down to the
Colts' 29 yard line where Nick Folk missed a crucial 47 yard field goal
as time expired in the half. The game remained tied at 7 at
halftime.
The Eagles got the opening kickoff in the second half and it didn't take
long for Peyton Manning to find Vincent Jackson for a 32 yard touchdown
to give the Eagles a 14 to 7 lead. The two teams traded punts
before Indianapolis ripped off a 12 play, 87 yard drive that ended with
a John Kuhn 1 yard TD run to tie the game at 14 with 12:07 remaining in
the game.
The Indy defense forced Philly to punt on their next possession.
The Colts took over at their own 23 yard line with 8:22 remaining.
From there they engineered a long drive that finished with a Matt Prater
43 yard field goal with 2:18 remaining giving the Colts a 17 to 14 lead.
Following the kickoff, the Eagles started at their own 27 yard line with
2:11 remaining. On the first play, Jarrett Boykin broke a medium
slant pass for a 70 yard gain, all the way down to the Colts three yard
line as the two minute warning hit. On the next play Alfred Morris
ran in for a touchdown and a 21 to 17 lead with 1:51 remaining.
The Colts drive started at their own 23 yard line with 1:45 remaining
and 2 timeouts. Aaron Rodgers moved the ball down the field with
precision. Finally, with 23 seconds left Rodgers hit Mohammed Sanu
from 10 yards out for the game winning score.
Rodgers takes home game MVP honors completing 23 of 32 passes for 215
yards and 1TD. There were no turnovers in the game for either
team. The Eagles outgained the Colts 357 to 334 but the Colts
dominated time of possession 34 minutes to 26 minutes.

Ballot Results
* 1. Prop #1 - Minimum Usage for Skill Positions
The league will
impose a minimum usage level for pass attempts, rushing attempts and
pass catches for each team.
Pass Attempts - 300 minimum per team
(includes anyone with a pass attempt) Rush Attempts - 250 minimum per
team (includes anyone with a rush attempt) Pass Catches - 175 minimum
per team (includes anyone with a catch)

With a late surge of yes votes, this prop passes and teams will
need to make sure they take this into account when making cuts, trades
and drafting this offseason.
* 2. Prop #2 - Reduce the minimum Usage Limits for PR/KR
With this change we go from 34 unlimited PRs from last
years game to 44 unlimited PRs. For KRs we go from 15 unlimited KRs
from last years game to 50 Unlimited KRs.

This one passes easily, though a lot of abstentions, but zero
no votes, so I will adjust it for the upcoming season.
* 3. Prop #3 - Set Home Field Advantage to 3 Points for Every Team
Currently the league uses the home field advantage listed in the
game for each stadium. This change would universally set all stadiums to
3 for the entire season.
YES

NO

This one got a lot more support than I expected and likely
someone will have to remind me to make the changes before the season
starts as I will have to manually adjust each stadium.
* 4. Prop #4 - Players on Season Ending IR in NFL ineligible for ISFL
playoffs
If a player is was put on season ending IR in the NFL
and would not have been eligible to play in the NFL playoffs that player
would also be ineligible for the ISFL playoffs and would be set to
inactive before the start of the ISFL playoffs. Each team will need to
report to the commissioner their list of players who need to be set to
inactive for the playoffs after the conclusion of week 17 of the regular
season and it is up to the teams opponents to double check and make sure
this is correct. If a player slips through the cracks there is no
protest to be made and the result stands and this should be an incentive
for opponents to look closely at this.
YES
- 8
NO
- 18

Not a lot of support here adn this one was set aside pretty
easily, so there is no change to usage for injured players for next
seasons playoffs.
* 5. Prop #5 - Replace Weekly Injury Pickups with a 5 man practice Squad
Instead of the currently weekly injury pickups that we have no which
would be no longer in use, each team would select a five man practice
squad following the regular drafts conclusion. The players would be
active for use during the season and up to each team which 5 positions
they choose to cover. After the regular draft, a 5 round practice squad
draft would be run that would be done through draft lists where teams
could designate postions and they would be awarded the highest
rated/salaried player at that position. The draft would run in the same
order as the regular draft, over 4 days. Day 1 teams 1-7 send a list for
5 rounds of picks, designating positions to be filled and the draft
administrator would fill out the 35 picks based upon rating, durability
and then salary if there are ties and send out the results. Day 2 would
have teams 8 thru 14, Day 3 teams 15 thru 21 and Day 4 teams 22-28.
These would be a teams only injury depth so it would be in their best
interest to diversify these picks. These players would be returned to
the free agent pool at the end of the regular season, so there is no
incentive to try and pick players with potential, it would be strictly
for injury/durability coverage.

The only really tight vote, seems the league was split on it
but in the end not quite enough support to push it through so the injury
replacement system will stay in place for the upcoming season.
