Warrior General Games

The Hope just can't catch a break. Every team we've played have been really good teams, and we've got another 3-0 team to play on Wednesday... We drew the short straw, no doubt.

Have you looked at OUR schedule so far?

idk how bristol is doing it, but i pray they run out of whatever they're eating thats got them 3-0 before we play them.

We outmatch them completely but somehow they're 3-0 and we are 1-2.

Nice work Luke....come playoff time, you and I will have to get together and do a league wide one.

Excellent rankings. I know you know who we all expect to be good after last season, I think you tried hard to base them on performance so far. Good show.

Good work, Bullets #2...whoo hoo lol.

I would have to say they have had without a doubt the toughest start to the season and in the next 3 weeks face teams with a combined record of 7-2-0, so if they can pick up a couple of victories they will rise greatly in the rankings.

Yeah if you can come out of these next games with a better than .500 record then you will be doing very well

a 4 game sweep these next 4 would be nice

...I would be slightly concerned about their defensive display, allowing 13 against the Retros, a similar performance against the Knights next week and a Nighthawks victory would see them fall in my rankings.

Let me start off by saying that I agree completely with the top 10 teams that you have predicted. Good show! Idk much about the bottum 6 because i really don't have time to pay attention to to inferior teams (JK lol). I do think that your analysis is correct. We do not pride ourselves on being a good team statistically on defense, We simply want to hold the opposing team to under 300 yrds and 20 points a game. If we can do that i think our explosive offense will perform well enough to outdoe our low level defense.

But cmon, give our defense credit! They were the 25th worst in the league last season! And now with a simple few upgrades and some new personel, i would say our defense can do what it needs to. People say that we should step up our defense or we will never go far. And in some ways, i agree. But I think you will be surprised when you find out that our defense has been playing fine, and yet we still will win games

Bullets and Jailbreakers a little too high on the list

I couldn't help but notice this as well. I do not think they are quite as good as their records show, but you can't argue with an undefeated team, regaurdless of stats. And the Jailbreakers have an extremely well rounded team. I can see them having an OK season, boosting b4 the playoffs and then, with a little luck, rising to the semifinals.

Here's mine without comments:
1. Eleven Wise Monkeys
2. Louisville Nighthawks
3. Boston Massacre
4. New York Warriors
5. Dallas Rampage
6. Bristol Bullets
7. Alcatraz Island Jailbreakers
8. New York Hope

I can't really see this being the 8 playoff teams from the east in this order. First of all, We (the Massacre) on the matchup page are pretty much 3rd in the league. But if you look at our starts, it doesn't really add up. There is no way we are better than the New York Warriors, since they have beaten us each time they have ever played us.

Overall GJ

Yeah, well to use an example from last season look at the Chargers they started 1-3, lost to the Kansas City Chiefs and were .500 going into week 12. Sure they have one of the most talented teams in the Nfl, but could you really put them infront of teams such as Green Bay, Dallas, Indianapolis, New England or even the Jaguars in power rankings? No, and they were mauled by the non-playoff team Vikings in Week 9, so realistically power rankings are pretty pointless when people just complain because no-one truly knows what will happen until the season is over.

Thanks Mills for your supporting me in this issue, and I do think Massacre level wise can compete with anyone, opening day you had the advantage over the Monkeys in levels but its not always about that

What? The Rockstars aren't #1? Robbed I tell you. Robbed.

*waves hi to everyone*

P.S. I lost my first game, tough league A#1 is indeed.

I think someone misses BBB#1

Not to bad on your other 2 games though

Yeah... i remember a bit on sports center about which 1-3 team sucked more, the bears or the chargers. And almost all the guys said chargers. PSHT! Look where the bears are now lol!

Power Rankings are there to determine a teams likliness to succeed in the regular season based on talent, past experience and record. Its extremely hard to make power rankings for teams this early in the making of GLB. In 10 seasons it should get easier as most players will be the same level from most teams in a certain league. It will be more based on record then, and less on talent, which puts less opinion into it.
