During the season we ran twice as often as we passed and like 1/3-1/2 of our passes went towards a HB, today we ran with our HBs 13 times and passed to them 11 times out of 55 passes. You realize that "baiting" someone to do something means to encourage them to do so right? Lets say you really were trying to bait a team into running plays for their HBs, you'd typically want that team to run perhaps even more plays by ratio for their HBs than they normally do, not less than half. Congrats on the win and the gameplan, epic fail on the understanding of how or why it worked. It would have made more sense if you said you had intended to force us into passing more than we were accustomed to. For future reference, before you talk out of your arse, at least look at the game first.
I just think it's funny because if it's really true that in your "gameplan" you intended to "bait" us into running more plays for our HBs, your defensive gameplan worked because you royally screwed up in making it. No matter the results, if you intend for one thing and get another with your gameplan.., well I just can't quite understand why that same person would go on and on about his awesome uber elite gameplanning skills. I'd consider someone who consistently has horrible gameplans for the opponent they face but understand what they're telling the AI to do a better gameplanner than someone whose AI spits out different results than he expected with his gameplan but lucks out because he screwed up and got it right.
All that aside, really good game. There's nothing to be sore over, at least 31 teams in every league loses at least once each season and by all accounts Bunghole took the season further than anyone gave them credit for going into the season and its only losses came against the two teams playing for the title. Out of all the teams in this league, Bunghole probably did the most with what they had to work with. So congrats to me, Bunghole, and Bunghole's GMs/owner for a season well played.
All that time to type that garbage? I should have been more specific. I Set that D AI to cover the HB with ss on ALL HB ROUTES. Once NBA Jam gets a 34 pt lead, our base ai kicks in, and I no longer watch replays. You actually fucked yourself by having hb block on all those plays. Since The DPC can make us have 2nd options, all that did was make it so the SS went into zone, and the TE got double covered. Either way it was a really good game, you lost by 40 more than you did the 1st time. The great thing is we get to compete with you LOSERS next season. thanks for the boost in fan support, enjoy another shitty season next yr LOSER.
