The Thunder loves the underdog roll come playoff time.

We just got lucky. I think we went 4/4 on 4th down conversions plus Paris had a chance to tie it late with a FG but went for it on 4th and got sacked. Game over.

This sets up a nice revenge game (hopefully)

I did think of the season 7 playoff rematch. Should be another good one to see who gets feed to the Griz.

I used to like FDC too, and respect him. This kind of exploity bullshit, though, is dumb.

Hope all these exploiting teams enjoy their illl-gotten gain in the way of their season 8 trophy.

Oh wait, I was wrong. They didn't exploit the strong I slam. They "just" exploited the BS overpowered Power HB. Teams try to focus on stopping the exploit run and they're open to pretty much everything else. Don't focus on stopping the exploit run and just get run over by that instead.

Basically, the only way to win in S8 is to get a powerback and give them 45-50 carries a game. So dumb.

Soo...Mal's power rushing game also held you guys to 10 total points even though you had the ball 33 minutes?

Damn...I didn't even know Mal was that good.

haha.. I have always thought that Berlin was some nice guys.. But they sure are some very bad losers..


I congratulated you guys on a good game and I'm not really blaming you for doing what you did. I knew exactly what you were gonna run, gameplanned to stop it, but through a combo of some nice runs and flat out not being able to stop it (thanks to the s8 sim) it didn't happen.

Thats what season 8 is gonna wind up being, whoever can run strong I the most. Vastly superior teams are losing left and right to teams who repeatedly do it. If that gets them their trophy and they feel they earned it, well more power to them I guess. We'll see if season 9 actually takes a slight step towards rewarding teams for running multiple plays and mixing it up. It certainly hasn't this season.

Wow, all this whining.

Let's take a look at the breakdown.

Strong I Slam

Stockholm: 22 plays
Berlin: 21 plays

Berlin also ran the Strong I Slam on 9 3rd and shorts, and 4 4th and shorts, and in the goalline situation for their only TD.

Seems like both teams had similar thoughts with use of the Strong I Slam.

So if Stockholm abused it, what did Berlin do?

Are you really as stupid as you seem?

Berlin use a solid pay as part of an overall balanced gameplan.

Stockholm ran a powerback all game, and passed 7 times. A single back should not get 45 runs and be just as fresh on the last as he is on the first. Had you guys used the play as part of a more balanced gameplan, I'd be ok with it. But when all you do is run up the middle the entire game (Oh god, you used the I For slam too, you're completely forgiven), you're still an exploiting piece of trash.

Nice catch Jestel!

Stop kidding yourself. A running back should not be as strong and fast on the 45th carry as he is on the first. You and I both know it is total bullshit. Breaking a pile of tackles early when you're at full strength? Sure, not a problem. Massive broken tackles late in the game shouldn't be happening.



Obviously you've never played football before. Or at least been on the field during a grinding game. There are plenty of backs who get STRONGER as a game goes on. Emmit Smith, Jim Brown, Marshawn Lynch -- to name three off the top of my head. When you have a bruising running game where you're able to rotate OL to beat up on the DL -- that DL gets weaker and weaker as the game goes on and the HBs get stronger and stronger.

Factor in demoralizing factors in addition to fatigue and in REAL football this absolutely happens.

But GLB isn't real football. It isn't close to it.

Oh and you can say all you want about how you "We could have run 70 ties a game and probably won. Instead, we tried to make sure the entire team got to have some fun with the players they are paying real money for" -- that's nice and good. But wouldn't those people be having more fun if they were playing in Round 2?

So it's solid when Berlin uses it, but an exploit when Stockholm uses it.

The Pimps just waxed Antwerp and didn't use the Strong I Slam

depends on your definition of 'play'. i'm sure sitdown enjoyed his runningback's stats on his 6 plays with no carries.

edit: also, those guys you mentioned do take subs, and they dont break 20 tackles a game. breaking tackles is absolutely tiring irl cuz you have to slow down and start speeding up again getting all spun around and all that. but you're right its not like real football, and thats the frustrating part. i'm sure we'll all be fine and dandy about it tomorrow, but right now its tough to get the same play run on you over and over and not feel like you got shafted

Yeah pretty much. Trying to make sure all the guys paying flex having fun is rather silly, really.

It IS fucking silly!!! What you think? You can BUY a championship!??! Just because you spent money (oh, you are the ONLY one to do that!) you think that means you don't have to pay attention to having a balanced depth chart, or builds that adequately stop blah blah blah?

You guys can stop the passing game. That's great. But if your opponents don't USE the passing game, then you're just fucking worthless out there, now aren't you?

Jesus, if you can't handle losing and look at yourselves, saying 'What can WE do better', then WTF are you doing here?

Go cry in your scrimmage games. You had respect until we beat you? I had respect for you until you cried.

Power backs in the NFL also don't run 45 damn times a game. Teams in the NFL don't run 45 times and pass only 7 (well, once in a great while they will, but a lot of those are direct snaps to the RB. Carolina vs Atlanta a couple of seasons back when Weinke was QB was an example).

Don't use the "real backs get stronger as the game goes on" excuse when i can't think any time in recent memory an RB ran 600 times in a season and didnt explode.

Not that we aren't above breaking it out to make the game fair

Awww, go speak at the players union meeting, then.
