Where is our thread???

Alpha is obviously still in shock that Monarchs didnt make it into the play offs.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/playoff_bracket.pl?league_id=9&conference_id=0

I have to say that the bottom half of the Play Off Bracket is incredibly tough.

Those two games are going to be excellent contests.

4 teams that are Alpha Pro Originals.

Warriors Vs FTA has been exceptional since season 1, and Warriors have usually had the best of it, but FTA are a force again this season.

2 Immense Offenses, that are in Form, and strong defenses that can force turnovers.

Too tough to call and tactics will decide this one.

The winner then gets to face possibly the best Pass attack in WEPL, or possibly the best Pass Rush in the WEPL.

Vikings and AWC match up almost as perfectly as Warriors and FTA.

Vikings strengths on Offense are AWC strengths on defense, and their weaknessess match up against each other.

Thats two games that could go either way, and will be great to watch.

I think that as its going to be a tactical battle the final margin will be quite large in at least one of those games, where one team hits that sweet spot.

If I have to I'll go for Vikings and Warriors, but there is nothing in it.

At the Top of the Bracket we have three promoted teams.
WuJax arrived in Season 2 and have destroyed everyone since.
Berlin arrived in Season 3 and have been almost as bad.
Toledo are looking to follow their footsteps, and have a fair shot.

The match ups here are not a finely balanced, as the styles of the teams involved are quite different.

The fourth team here are another Alpha original, and while Who Dats have always got it together in time for the Play Offs, they have to be the underdogs against Wu Jax.

So for me its got to be WuJx and Berlin in these two games.

My odds for the Alpha Title? (Because I am bored and hospital sucks)

Woodridge Lunberjacks (evens)
Berlin Blitzkreig (7-4)
Valhalla Viking (2-1)
Wembley Warriors (4-1)
FTA (4-1)
AWC (7-1)
Toledo Swords (8-1)
WhoDats (10-1)

I can personally say that, considering you guys were guessing toledo would finish 10th in alpha, i am very happy to of made the playoffs in the 5 seed, nearly the 4th. We had some growing pains with the new AI the first 2 games, so who knows what could have been.

Understandable since we are still the new guys on teh block that we are such huge underdogs, but again i hope we can prove you all wrong

Goodluck to all in the playoffs!

Hey, go read the Pre season Rankings again...

I had you as the team likely to crash into the Play Offs if a tipped team struggled, and boy did Monarchs struggle (I blame my self for that)

Still wins agaist some serious contenders mean you more than deserve the shot at the play offs.

Well I said above about Warriors Vs FTA...

"I think that as its going to be a tactical battle the final margin will be quite large in at least one of those games, where one team hits that sweet spot."

and I tipped Warriors, Viking, WuJax and Berlin so it looks like that brick to the head made me as psychic as a Spread sheet.



Congrats Warriors.

Yeah, Wembley EXPLODES in the 4th quarter to put the game well out of reach.

Nice freakin job.

Damnit, I'd of much preferred to play FTA than Wembley again. :\

Valhalla is going for the record for the highest # of games decided by 3 points.

This sim sucks. 4th and 15 from our 46 with :36 down 3...we punt.

Great game Vikings. No disrespect, but I really feel like we had you and just let it slip away.

Good luck.

That was one you definitely had to go for, might want to have your OC look at your playbook again.

I don't think you would of been able to make it into FG range in time though - all your timeouts were gone by then, so who knows at this point. Good game, Aberdeen.
