Warrior General Games

Well, that's one way to get people talking about the East again - mention how no one is talking about the East.
There's some great teams in the East, no doubt about it. Ratings and talent are close enough that most of the teams likely headed for the playoffs could conceivably beat any of the other teams they'll see there. There's some great coaches who've put together very different styles, and seeing them clash has been a lot of fun so far.

But I think what Sanderval was sort of saying is right now, we're still a long way away from the playoffs. When its a week or two to go, there'll be lots of chatter and challenges and comparisons. The teams will look significantly different by then with players levelling, boosting, etc.
For now, most of the big, nail-biter, seeding-deciding matches have happened. Upsets can always happen, and still might throw the whole division into chaos, but the top teams have mostly played their games against each other.
In the west, this isn't the case. The playoff race is totally unclear, and there's still some of the most anticipated matchups of the regular season to come.

In a couple weeks, when we hit the playoffs, it'll be totally different. Both divisions will have an exciting run to see who will get to the title game. Right now, most of the talk is on the west, because they still a lot more to determine about who will be where when playoff time comes. This is nothing against anyone in either division, its just how the schedules have played.

All of you need to watch your rear-views. The New Orleans Voodoo has closed the gap. I won't say much, I'll let our play for the rest of the season say it. Anyone on the remainder of our schedule will find out first-hand!!

Good luck with that, it wont be easy for you to make the playoffs. It does seem that your team has improved but you still have Rochester and Round Rock on your schedule. I just don't see you finishing the season at better than 7-9 if everything goes your way. But hey thats why we play the games so good luck and maybe well see you again in the playoffs.

damn i wish the voodoo were on the rest of our schedule haha

This is my 1st year being a coach as well, so not sure how valid of an excuse that is. Elves you have a pretty good team, but let's be honest on paper it isn't as good as Orlando's, Michigan's or Detroit's. Now lucky for you paper doesn't always win games, but I will be suprised if you win the East. But good luck in your quest and maybe you will suprise me. I don't think you should be the one saying anything about anyone haveing a condesending attitude. You were the one saying you are beating teams playing your backups. Well that can't be true, because you do have 2 losses. That is a little condesending in my opinion.

I didn't mean it to come across as condescending but I went back and read my post and I see how it can be taken that way. I mean it more that I like to give all my players starting time and that I'm not one to run up the score. Now we have the cool option to where if we get ahead too much we can set the backups to be favored which I really favor quite a bit. It hasn't come into play yet though because my opponents have given us good games which I like 8)

I would disagree with you about not being as good roster wise. After our first game I did make some pretty significant improvements to my team's roster and I feel our roster is at this point as good on paper as anthing in the east. I will grudgingly admit there are a few teams in the west that are better overall roster level wise but not overwhelmingly so. I honestly feel that the top 10 teams in our league make our league one of the toughest in BBB and possibly tougher than some "A" and "AA" leagues.

Anyways lets just all keep it respectful towards each other and show the other leagues we are better than them in another way too. I can't wait for the playoofs 8) tough, fun games are coming 8)

Don't worry you just may see us post-season. Ha ha nothing!

I'm wondering why the Missouri Partisan Rangers are still listed as # 2 in the West when we beat them head to head and have the same record??

Great game Maidens that was a tough game today. Thank goodness we stopped you at 4th and goal or it might have gone against us. I like being at third seed now so I'm hoping Seatle doesn't get a win next game ^^

After handling the 12th man today, the Vendetta are still UNDEFEATED!!! Thats 9-0.
Since taking care of the Hitmen, we have legit shot at a perfect season the rest of the way. I know that there are a couple of good teams left on the schedule, but it looks good to me.

None of the games left are easy. Definately have to work to win the next 2.

Don't catch Patriot-fever.

That's a good question.. maybe at some point Bort listed what the tie breakers are.. if he didn't perhaps you could ask.

Well, New Brunswick survived another =].

We stand at 8-1 right now, and our next game is against the Reavers who happen to be 0-9. I'm not going to take this next game lightly, but I simply cannot wait to face the Vendetta.

I think this will be the defining moment for our team.

Those kinds of games are the most excruciating, nerve racking kind of fun.

I don't know this exactly, but it seems like the tiebreaker is number of points scored. And yeah, the Vendetta have a challenging stretch lined up, should be exciting.
