Honestly, I haven't even bothered to see how the playoffs work in this game. I guess I'll have to do that... No bye week or homefield advantage other than ticket sales I'm guessing?

Erm yes, you get home games as the 1st and 2nd seed, until the Conference CCG, then the top seed is the home team.

Top seed gets home games and therefore money. Money is very nice, I would like it.

Oh really? I never would have guessed.

OK, well no worries. I am still pulling for Warsaw.

We will continue to fight. We still have Sea Monkey and Grodno games to play, so we're not quite as far out of it as we look. It really hurts that the Monkeys get Kosovo cross-conference, though. Though if we do get back-to-backs against BSM and Grodno, I would expect that would make a huge difference in morale. That's really been killing us as we can see our performance getting worse each week. In fact, that's my main concern vs. the Sea Monkeys. I'm just hoping our plan overcomes their morale advantage. Both teams have poor chemistry.



Well if you looked inthe last thing I posted in the EE sprot dailey I broke down how each team coudl stay in the PROs you have one of the more likely times of doing it then the other teams. Just take it all one game at a time. With Prague killing my team today I even have a chance of slipping. Sad but true. and I understand with the chemistry they added and the morale seams they made it where the good teams get better and the bad teams get worse...

Well, I think today's game mathematically finished us. I frankly don't understand it any more. 11 drops against the Sea Monkeys? I know our morale is killing us, but that's just insane. None of these guys have less than 20 in catching, agility or carrying - most of them have 30+ in catching, too.

I know I am feeling your pain. I have a QB with a 47 vision, 45 throwing and he gets picked 4 times.... I don;t get it either. I think they have it where the good teams ride the wave and the bad teams just get worse. I se my morale going down the toilet...

Our QB is very similar in stats to that and got picked off 5 times against the KGB squad. Very frustrating.

I know your feeling, seasm like we can;t get a break. I know my QB is on of the top ten in the league. and he still shows poor performances like this, I think they need to change the chemistry and morale thing a little... I am not sure but it pisses me of that I have a good team, and everysense I made a few moves to bolster my roster caus i lost alot of guys to FA and the new expansion leagues, my chemistry took a dump and I can;t win a game to save my ass...

Yall see #4 and #8

That is part of the problem of winning right there.

If you want to win and you arent the favorite, you dont pass like a madman, you do like New Jersey does and run the ball and play defense.

As the quote from General Neyland goes (and yes a lot of others copied it later) "Three things can happen when you throw the football, and two of them are bad." Woody Hayes and Darryl Royal are also people who it is attributed to, but Neyland predates both of them by 20 years and also predates the forward pass.

Anyhow, point being, if you run the ball and play defense, you shorten the game, keep the score tighter and allow for less bad things to happen.

Your QB was sacked on the 3rd play of the game and it all went downhill from there. 11 hurries, 5 sacks 4int .. all passing stuff. 15 total rushes and 5 of those were sacks, so you tried to run it 10 total times against us .. that isnt how you try to upset a team that you know has a talent advantage, in fact all my DL did was pin its ears back and rush hard every play, I doubt my team was playing the run AT ALL by the end of the game.

LOL true, But I had to try something. Rushing has nto gotten me anywhere in this league so far, My linemen are not high enough level to hold the line down just yet. I tried alot of short passes but the AI took over even after I set it at 10%. Oh well no worries. I know my team is hurting do to alot of things. So i will do what I can to over come them. and next year it wont be so easy to beat me! LOL
BTW good game Randy....

Also it's been proven over and over and talked about to death on the main boards that even with auto-adjust turned off the CPU likes to go pass heavy. Bort says it's cause they start losing so they pass to catch up in points, however people are noticing that when they fall behind in any way their games go pass heavy.

-Prague at Grodno - W Prague, energy is fine. 1-0
-Chernobyl at St. Petersburg - St. Petersburg won a close game, I said it was a slight learn Chernobyl, but that game was a sackfest and fumblefest by the RAR, that was close. 1-1
-Kazan at Rome - No call here, but Rome won despite a -2 TO margin., 2-1 Zeta.
-Warsaw at Silesia - Called Silesia it wasnt close, 3-1 Zeta.
-Washington at Budapest Brawlers - WOW Congrats Budapest! That was a statement game. 4-1 Zeta.
-Team at Rockford - Called Rockford, big win Rockford. 5-1 Zeta.
-American at Novosibirsk - No call, I said it would be tight, it was. Even after the beating Prague handed Novosibirsk last week it showed #7 Zeta can beat #8 Alpha. 6-1 Zeta.
-Cincinnati at Sarajevo - I said heavy lean Sarajevo, they won by 11, for Prague that would be a tight game, in fact despite a -4 turnover margin, the #8 Zeta team was within 11 points of the #2 Alpha team. 6-2 Zeta.
-Dubai at Minsk - I called Minsk due to running game and chemistry in a tight game, thats exactly what it was, mostly though Minsk held the ball and played keep-away.
-Moscow Dragons at Georgia - Wow another Zeta surprise, even with bottomed out (15) Chemistry the Moscow Dragons beat the Tec-9s by 17. 6-3 Zeta.
-Bisons at Moscow Monsters - I said the Monsters would win this 100% and they didnt disappoint, a 19 point win over a team that has talent and no idea how to do tactics, or their builds could be really bad, I have no idea whats going on there. 7-4 Zeta.
-New Jersey at KGB - Did New Jersey lay down? Id say no! Its just that their -3 TO margin killed a game where there was almost no offense from either team. I didnt call anything, but I said I respected KGB and Im glad that they pounded Bobby's Bawlers yet another game. 7-5 Zeta.
-Gilwice at Transylvania - Said Transylvania would win this one going away, they did. Shows that the #12 team in Zeta is WAY WAY better than the #13 team in Alpha. 8-5 Zeta.
-NFL at Budapest Blue Wave - I called NFL, they won big, no surprise as the Blue Wave are one of the worst teams in EE Pro and will be relegated next season. 8-6 Zeta.
-Kosovo at Baltic - #12 Alpha wins over #14 Zeta and well it was a win, a solid win, but considering how bad Kosovo is .. they should have won by more. I called Baltic and they managed to win. 8-7 Zeta.
-Orleans at Sheboygan - I called 100+ to 0, Sheboygan denied me my Nostradamus title and fell 7 points shy. Of course that prediction was made before Orleans was taken over and is now called Sopron (which if yall arent as curious as I am, its a Hungarian town at the Austrian border, which is probably German speaking). And I believe their new owner is trying to get them competitive, so congrats for trying to do something Zeke ;D

Messed something up in there, Im not going to fix it, but straight up score Zeta won 9-7.

Z11 vs A14 Z 19pts (6.3pts per rank over)

Alpha wins - 7

Z15 vs A9 A 47pts (7.83pts per rank over)
A1 vs Z16 A 93pts (6.2pts per rank over)

Alpha average points per rank over - 4.39
Alpha average points per rank over minus bottom 3 Zeta - 2.04

Zeta wins - 9
Z11 vs A14 Z 19pts (6.3pts per rank over)
Z4 vs A4 Z 6pts (Tie rank, but Zeta win)
Z2 vs A5 Z 3pts (1pt per rank over)
Z6 vs A10 Z 30pts (7.5pts per rank over)
A11 vs Z10 Z 17pts (17pts per rank over)
Z7 vs A8 Z 4pts (4pts per rank over)
Z3 vs A15 Z 48pts (4pts per rank over)
A16 vs Z1 Z 134pts (8.93pts per rank over)
Z12 vs A13 Z 43pts (43pts per rank over)

Zeta average points per rank over (note using 8 games because of the 0 value) - 11.47
Zeta average points per rank minus bottom Alpha 3 - 14.5

Basically Alpha barely beat who they did beat and feasted on 3 teams who I have all admitted should be thrown out of Pro. But based on just scores and even scores versus like opponents, as I have said since the start, Zeta is much deeper and much stronger.

Do you want to recalculate another way to show your dominance in Zeta? Give it a rest.

I thought about commenting, but frankly, all the numbers are beyond me...haha

Well considering how much chest thumping that Alpha people do regarding crap, I just brought out numbers showing that Alpha is soft. It actually has NOTHING to do with my team, Prague is less of a concern when I come to the league forums, because I am not really interested in blabbing about my team, what I am interested in is setting things as they are.

In fact, Id say that the bottom 7 of Alpha is soft, Id say 8 but the inexplicable tie of your team with the Fanatix and them beating #7 KGB, Ill give some credit to them, because they are the last Alpha team that is marginally competitive.

Zeta is competitive down to 13, after New Jersey yeah .. those bottom 3 teams are really bad. But dont let facts and numbers fool you, when I throw out the bottom 3 teams of each conference, 8-13 of Zeta was TONS more competitive than their Alpha counterparts.

The only teams below yalls playoff teams that won in the interleague games were 12 and 9 and those were matched up against teams who were lower and Im not so sure what Bobby was doing over there, because his team CAN be more competitive than that.

I didnt make up or calculate any numbers .. just look at the results, it is pretty damn clear what I have been saying the entire season, past the Invadiers or Fanatix .. people need help, not even talent so much I believe as just a clue how to do tactics or builds.

Also, in case the way I state things seems harsh .. I am not telling those teams that they suck and need to go away, Im saying that the top of Alpha shouldnt brag about how awesome they are when it is clear that the bottom has more work to do than the bottom in Zeta.

I only truly bag on the 3-4 teams in EE Pro that have been completely worthless and are making NO efforts to be competitive. And if you must know 2-3 of those are in Zeta, minus Grodno. I believe that most of the people in Alpha are trying, they just need some consultants or something. So I am not bashing your conference, I am saying that when you put up gaudy stats against the bottom 6-8 of your conference it is nothing to be proud of.
