HEAD COACH AND OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR ANTUAN EDWARDS USED ALL-FANTASY QUARTERBACK LINDA BRENNER AND ALL-FANTASY RUNNING BACK GABRIELLE MARIE BRILLIANTLY WITH A MIXTURE OF PASS AND RUN THAT KEPT DENVER ON THEIR HEELS THE ENTIRE GAME. 

DENVER CAME INTO THE GAME HAVING LOST A TOUGH GAME AT HOME YIELDING 20 UNANSWERED SECOND HALF POINTS AGAINST LOS ANGELES AND WANTING TO PROVE THEY ARE NOT A 0-1 TEAM, THEY DID, THEY PROVED THEY ARE 0-2 TEAM. OFFENSIVELY, THE PLAY-CALLING BAFFLED DENVER FANS, HIGHLIGHTED WITH A SCREEN-PASS ON A KEY 4 & 1 WHEN A RUN SEEMED MORE OPTIMAL. HEAD COACH AND OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR ALLEN WATKINS CONTINUES TO FEATURE LINDSEY FIELDS IN THE PASSING GAME WHILE FIELDS CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE WITH CRUCIAL DROPS THAT LED TO A LOSS AGAINST LOS ANGELES. DENVER FANS HAVE BEEN WANTING TO SEE THE COMBINATION OF QB ERIKA TRUJILLO AND WR REBECCA 'BK' MAIN, WHICH AT TIMES SHOW SIGNS OF AN INCREDIBLE 1-2 PUNCH. WATKINS' POOR MANAGEMENT OF AN EXPLOSIVE OFFENSE HAS LED TO AN O-2 RECORD, BY NOT STRATEGICALLY UTILIZING THREE OF THE MOST POWERFUL OFFENSIVE WEAPONS IN THE WEST - RB SHANNON MARTIN, WR REBECCA MAIN AND QB ERIKA TRUJILLO.

DALLAS' COACH EDWARDS AND THE DESIRE LOOKED LIKE THE PRE-SEASON NO. 1 RANKED TEAM AND AT OTHER TIMES LOOKED LIKE A TEAM PLAYING IT'S FIRST-EVER LFL GAME. OUTSIDE OF THE RUN GAME, THE OFFENSE STRUGGLED TO ESTABLISH ANY CONSISTENCY IN THE PASS GAME. DEFENSIVELY, DENVER EXPOSED DALLAS' VULNERABILITY AGAINST BOTH THE SWEEP RUN GAME AND THE LONG BALL. IF DALLAS HOPES TO COMPETE IN THE WEST WITH LOS ANGELES OR SEATTLE, THEY WILL HAVE TO DEVELOP A PASSING GAME.

ALL EYES IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE WILL BE ON THE OCT. 23RD LOS ANGELES (1-0) AT DALLAS (1-0) GAME WHICH WILL SURELY ESTABLISH THE TRUE POWER TEAM IN THE WEST.
