As we approach Week 1 of the Inaugural United Football Sim League season, teams are preparing for their Week 1 games. The St. Peter Griffins are opening against their division opponent, the New York Nightmare.
The Griffins come off a disappointing loss to the Reno Predators in the preseason, while the Nightmare also come off a loss. Both teams are looking for a win in their first ever game.

"The team has looked great in practice. We have a lot of guys here who possess great talent, while other have great potential. We just need to execute. I don't see why this team isn't Championship caliber though." - GM Tommy Hoang
Last week, power Running Back Maple Syrup had a good day on the ground with 42 yards for a touchdown. He will be facing a defense led by Al Capone, the strong feared Linebacker.[/b]
"I'm am looking forward to trucking his a**. That's all I really have to say" - Maple Syrup
Maple Syrup will put defenders in a "sticky situation
In order for the Griffins to win, they will need Lawson Forbes, the Quarterback, to complete passes when called upon. He only completed 4 passes on 24 attempts last game.[/b]
"The Nightmare have two great Corners in AJ Rocking and Rick Ross. I need to execute my throws and make them a non-factor in this game" - Lawson Forbes
On the defensive side of the ball, the Griffins are led by French Toast, cousin of Tommy Hoang, Darrell Jones, and Brady Lynch. Lynch finished last week with a strong game. He recorded 4 tackles, 1 interception, forced a fumble and recovered it as well. Darrell Jones provided a strong game too, as he recorded 4 tackles and forced a fumble. French Toast played a decent game, but look for him to play to his potential in Week 1.[/b]
"Brady and I are both very skilled football players. We are very fast and aware of what is going on on the football field. Containing Miller and Graham should be no problem. I have faith in him to now allow a big day from whoever he is covering. " - Darrell Jones

Both teams are loaded in talent. They are both very athletic and skilled. No one knows what to expect in the opening week but it should be a good game[/b]
