1. They have been here a lot of times. At this level, it usually comes down to the RNG. The dots on both sides are good, the gameplanning on both sides is good. One team will have a play call set to 30% or something and happen to get that play called when they need it most. Or one team will get a key missed tackle, fake, INT, PD or some other such roll to help them win. The Monkeys have been on the wrong side of these rolls too many times in the final.
2. ***O*** won the first matchup. I have seen it throughout GLB. Often in the second matchup of even teams, the other team wins. If you are the team that won, do you stick with what worked or try something new and unknown? If you stick you will likely get stuffed when they change gears to stop what was working for you. If you switch, who knows. Lose/Lose situation. As the loser of the first matchup, you have less to risk by changing gears and going for it.
3. They are a damn good dotball team.
Your reverse jinx voodoo won't work on MEM sir. Besides, I already tried it in my FBG thread. Be more original! IN YO' FACE!
