Good pick with s7...Montpelier has me scared to death in the 2nd round. Fakie has been beating up on gold teams all season, yet was 4th place in s7 west. Having coached against all of the gold teams in the west twice, I honestly believe that s7 west has 3 teams (FT, Montpelier, Crib), and maybe 5 (I'm curious to see what Charleston & Rome bring in the playoffs), that are all better than the 7th & 8th seeded teams (Boston & Andromeda). And this doesn't count all of the great silver teams in other leagues like Maine, San Antonio, etc.
Unlike the past several seasons, I'm very confident saying that a lot of the best PeeWee teams this season were not in gold.
I hate to tell you but Boston and the Strain are still pretty damn good teams. I agree, they are pretty good teams. Boston is ok. Their defensive scheme early in the season was really bad, but they've improved upon that. They've improved throughout the season, so that's always a good sign. I think they're still learning and that they'll be a team to reckon with in a season or two. Andromeda has great players, average defensive AI, and HORRIBLE offensive AI. They only called a couple plays (and not even good ones) out of any given formation, and haven't changed it pretty much all season. With just a little bit of scouting, an average team can shut them down. Hopefully they'll kick it up a notch in the playoffs. I'm only saying this because I know Middawg pretty well and I know he can take it (and this isn't anything I haven't already told him in a PM)

And I'll give the U! some love. They were 1 of only 3 or 4 silver teams to hold their opponents to NEGATIVE yards rushing this season. That takes a good DAI and diligent scouting to do that. I'll admit I don't know anything about no handz down.
