Two really good teams here. Rage are so-so on the road, while the Extreme are really good at home. Bloomington by 10.

The Rage have to win this game in my opinion. Bloomington is strong at home behind their great fan base. But the Rage have won there in the past. To me Bloomington seems ripe for the picking. Coaching issues and episodes of how not to coach have hurt them massively. The Rage might not be the best road team out there but I think they find a way to steal a W in this one.
Rage 41 Extreme 31

I changed my mind on this game. I think the Rage will be firing on all cylinders here to get a must needed win. Beating Bloomington at home won't be easy though, but I'm picking the Rage anyway.

I just read the Billings Gazette my.billingsgazette.com Billings Outlaws blog by Ryan Minch and I can't believe he is the only one talking about the signing of John Dutton, one of the greatest indoor/arena football QBs of all time. Me go or comply? I don't get it! Let's get some chatter going, the River City Rage are THE TEAM to beat in the IFL now. No way they don't win that title. Woooyeah.

As a fan following this team since 2001 this caught me by total surprise. I've been sleeping at the wheel the last few days and missed seeing it on the website. I just now saw this 5 minutes ago in an ad in a local paper. Unfortunately the St. Louis Post Dispatch doesn't pay the Rage any mind so this likely to go wholly unnoticed by the local football populace.
That all said the gauntlet has just been thrown down by the Rage, and all upcoming opponents better be on their guard.

holy cow!!!! as showstopper said no news besides 2 sentences about the rage after each game in the post so this is huge news to me. i cant wait till next weeks home game to see dutton play(i still have the AFL video game w/ him on it haha). i have no idea how the rage were able to get him but who cares this is going to be an exciting final 3 games and playoffs. hopefully maryland keeps on winning(i guess) so the rage can get a 1st round home playoff game the week of the 17th-19th. im going to be out of town the next 2 round weekends and ill have limited internet so i wouldnt be able to get b2(if its even worth it) oh well this is big news hopefully if the AFL doesnt come back next year he stays next season.

the Sprowls wouldn't overpay any of their players would they?

I'm definately excited to see Dutton to play. I just hope we hang on to a home playoff date because i'm on vacation for the El Paso game next week.

the Sprowls wouldn't overpay any of their players would they? We all know that never happens anywhere, the league looked into it and found nothing...remember? I saw the signing when it happened, but didn't have much time to post it this week. I don't know if played against the Extreme in the loss, but either way, come playoff time the Rage are going to be hard to beat. I'll bet Hurtis Chinn is loving it.

The score was 20-16? Wow that is the lowest total I have seen in years.

Not as low as the opening game in IFL this season. Saginaw over Muskegon 16-9.
This game tells me that Dutton was shaking off the rust and getting use to his new teammates. Hopefully next week will be better.
