Seriously, why are all the sack leaders from Alpha? It's not even close either.

Better O-lineman?

I don't know, just a guess

Alpha had more gutted teams as well.

Of the 10 teams that allowed the most sacks in EE Pro, 7 of them were from alpha and 3 were from zeta.

Gen. Patton's, Rome, and USSR allowed a ton.

Umm .. because Alpha has 8 really bad teams and Zeta has at worst 5?

Multiply Zeta sack numbers by 8/5 and I bet that there would be a lot more parity.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team_stats.pl?league_id=11&conference_id=0&stat=passing&sort=sacked&playoffs=0

Alpha sack losers (opposite of leaders):
1,3,4,7,8,9,10

Zeta sack losers
2,5,6

So 7 of the worst 10 teams belong in Alpha .. I dont think its an effect of there being better DEs over there, its just that you have teams that think they want to pass like Washington, GCP and Kazan an they dont have the OL for it .. and then you have the 3 CPU teams and Minsk in the mix and wow golly gee .. those are the 7 teams in Alpha who comprise 7 of the bottom 10.

Now lets look at the Top 10 teams who give up almost no sacks

Alpha
3,4,9,10

Zeta
1,2,5,6,7,8

And the sum of 1 and 2 is still less than #9 alone.

In seasons 2,3,4 Shaun Kruscher was Top 3 in sacks in EE Pro .. then last season and this season .. Alpha was just HORRIBLE and of course the best teams feasted on cupcakes and where is he? 10th this season, but hes still tied for 2nd in Zeta, even though we had comparatively limited D-snaps this season.

im a little tired of hearing about how Kazan wants to be a passing team. Thats garbage. We lost a lot of games which pushed us to pass a bit more in some situations. Overall we Passed 56% of the time and ran the ball 44% of the time. That is a lot more balance than Prague who ran 61% and passed 39%. Im guessing winning games and running out the clock alters the numbers a bit there too.

and if you want to fix alpha go figure out how to allow me to swap with a AAA team. I have one lined up if the GLB powers that be will allow it to happen.

Well done Misc for going 16-0, we couldn't even manage to get a home playoff game.


How nice of you to admit this.

And with the fewest pass attempts. Prague had one more sack given up, but had 90 more pass attempts or to put it in relative terms 130-140% of your pass attempts.

Id also figure that the hurries per pass attempt would be relatively equal.

I dont have time to break out my calculator at 1am, but its like the Alpha people getting garbage trophies .. for example .. the St. Pete HB jumped 16 rushing TDs in the past 2 games, he only has 42 for the season, but racked up 16 of those or well over 30% of the TDs in the last two games, its pretty much garbage.

Flash Gordo and Javorskie Vice would have went tied for 3rd rushing TDs if not for the Alpha garbage.
