Well, we didn't merge with a middle of the pack AAA team. We merged with the AAA champions. They were gonna be here this year so it's like 2 Pro teams merged IMO. We'll see but I have us making the playoffs.


I understand that, BUT it still is a group of guys that would have been fighting for the playoffs also.


I know, but the 2 groups together will make the playoffs, I believe. And we've recruited other players as well including some former US PRO. We'll see....

12. Compton Vikings- I'm sure the management there is doing every thing they can to make a playoff push this season, I just don't see them having the talent to get there. Both their offense and defense were too inconsistent to be a major player in the conference. 5-11

Is this serious?

Talent as... roster? Wow, I seriously have no problems on taking an insult to my abilities as OC and maybe as DC for last season, as I know I'm the worst OC in the league and I kinda left the defense to try to make our offense work. Now... as for players, if you really believe we don't have talent here, that's a mistake.

About what I would be thinking. I think the last 3 playoff spots are going to be a real dogfight. Also, I would say MM 3rd over Lincoln...but I know we have a tendency to lose games we shouldn't, so 4th is probably about right.

Plus, we beat MEM out of the 4 spot 2 seasons ago, I'd be ok with that happening again!

Thx for the write up CV. I of course plan to do everything I can to get the Hedgehogs in that top 8, but I think placing us 9th out of the gate is fair. I'd love to be a in a spot where we aren't fighting for the 8th seed week 16, but we'll see how it goes.

I think 1 thing worth noting, is aside from a couple select teams, the rest of the west is not only fighting to make the playoffs, but also to avoid relegation. And while a 10-6 season last year was nice, nothing is guaranteed, so we'll be fighting for our life in each one of those games.

Looking forward to the new season. Dotball time!

And west teams, please no mid-season gutting...

Yeah I don't think your squad is as talented as every team I put ahead of them. You might differ in opinion to this and you will have every chance to prove me wrong this year but you really didn't set the world on fire this year.

I'm more inclined to agree with Luzod here. I don't doubt you have great players...but up here it takes more. A lot more. The margin between 5th place and 12th place is pretty small.

Ok here goes, I know this is a bit early especially seeing we don't know how the Sim is going to play out. But, at least it's a start.



14. Texas Roughnecks-It's always hard to place the new teams. Texas looks to have a decent squad but based on their scrims from last season against the Pro's that don't look quite ready to compete up here. This pick is fairly blind. 4-12



A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, eh? Know wut I mean? Nudge nudge, wink wink. Say no more.

I'm by no means going to claim we're going to be a contender for the title. But I'll go on record that 14th place is a 'bit' low.

That's cool...but back it up and name the teams you'll finish ahead of.

Hey CV you old bastard, that liver transplant must have not taken with all the booze you down daily. That defense will be just fine.

This is your league. We're just the rookies and know our place. All I'll say is that we'll be as prepared as we can possibly be for this season and every game we play.

I've got a ton of respect for this league and I'm going to leave it at that.
