I guess all the gutting in Alpha gives our team a better chance by default but I wish it was not that way. We wanted to compete with and find a way to beat the Barger Hill's and Drubnovik's....oh well.

We continue to strive to improve our tactics and upgrade our roster although we have learned that signing quality FA's is a real pain in the caboose.

Very nice writeup, thanks.

At first I didn't read the intro and was like ZOMG NO DETROIT MUST POST ANGRILY . Then I read on. I agree this league needs to be have promoting/relegated fixed as soon as possible. Detroit beat GCP today and has no one to look forward to besides maybe the Maulers in week 12?

It will be interesting to see how Zeta plays out this season. Once Zeta fully boosts and adjusts to tactics, I expect the strong play of Prague to slowly trickle down to very tight games. But we'll see as the season goes on, it's my first season here so I don't know the tendencies of teams as well.

Yup I think our team and our teams were the only ones in Alphas this week to beat a quality opponent.....not that the bars mean much but Kazan had us 48-45 on the bars....nothing new for us though.

Well Kazan, RAR, Chairmen, and the Reapers are competitive teams so dont take them too lightly but only 1 of them beat us unboosted last season if memory serves and we took them out today...sweet revenge.

Yup cant wait to see Alpha's write-up....just wish we didnt lose what I considered the Top 2 Teams in Alpha to gutting. At least we gained the Cheetas...still got GCP and hopefully the other likely playoff teams like Kazan, Reapers, RAR and Chairmen take a step forward this season....just not against us

Ahem.

I know I've been AWOL from the forums.

BUT.

(Thread hijack alert.)

I am still willing to add on to Randy's writeups with a BARE ESSENTIAL sawedust Power Ranking post every week.

Just the ratings and numbers, no additional write-ups. They take too damn long, which is why Randy deserves major props for posting these when he gets the chance.

Anyway, looking forward to Alpha.

Keep 'em coming.

I mostly agree with your assessment. Rezlov though, you will be going down at the hands of the Fire as I believe we will finish in at least the 7th spot. I have a couple of guys on vacation and once they come back and boost we will be that much better.

Uh, its not that hard to extend everyone mid-season so you know who you have and who you need to replace in the coming season.

Also it seems that stats arent going to mean anything again at all. Stupid things like Dogdandy scoring 45 TDs in the first game pretty much screw over any chance of that.


Hey we just ran a offense that was mostly running, Not our fault that mal had his AI set up not to punt. I can say that we use alot of our bench so no one of our guys had all the carries. Was just one of them things that was out of our control

No need to apologize for blowing out a CPU team....I dont think any of us are gonna put a ton of stock into total TD's and the like knowing how many scrubs there are in the league anyway.

lol...at least we get props for being a real team you beat today...and happy for you that you got even for losing last time out...after today's game i am even more disgruntled than ever about the bogus simulation that is GLB...love that pitch play that went from reasonable to worthless during the offseason...combined with unstoppable inside running this game was a joke...no matter how close it may seem it was a simulation joke...bort is running out of time or this game is toast...

we have another couple real games before the romps begin...
