Damn I cant believe the Blitz won, congrats!
Neither can we, Tho, out of respect, I will congratulate the Blitz
We outgained them both passing and rushing , by 100 yds...and still lost.
We are the 3rd #1 seed I have seen lose that has a much lower chemistry bar than the opponent, it has been quite the topic around the forums. I am glad to see Bort and co. at least take care of that wild card for next season.
See ya all here back in the Ol' BBB #10 next season.

Not trying to start a flame war or anything. I had a lot of respect for NWWarrior. He was always the sportsman, even in close games. I find it insulting, however, that you would use "Chemistry" of all things as a reason why the NightHawks lost.
It couldn't be that I spent about 3 hours gameplanning for this game. It couldn't have been that we made the right tweaks after our 13-10 loss 2 games ago in which we lost because our returner fumbled a punt within 15 yards of field goal range.
Chemistry means nothing in this game. All season, the teams with the worst chemistry has been ruling the West. Nighthawks, Abomination, Nation, Gunslingers all have poor chemistry and yet they have been the leaders of the West all season long.
I'm insulted that you would give credit for our hard fought win to a mechanic that has had limited effect on how teams have performed up till now.
I say, good game Nighthawks. Well fought. And I and my team will look forward to a well played battle with the Gunslingers.
Ummm, wasnt trying to upset you Dusk... just made an observation that MANY others have made all across the GLB even before our game Dusk! Look at the chemistry forums for the past 2 weeks.
I regress and am uncomfortable, but here we go
I am not discounting your gameplanning, but since you brought it up, what exactly did you shut down? We also spent Many, many hours gameplanning ( we respect your team) and forced the Blitz to throw just as we gameplanned, outgained you by nearly 100 yds. You won the game and move on to face Gilead, Congratulations!!! But dont tell me it was due to your gameplan being better than ours, we invested a lot of time as well as Im sure all owners did/do.
And did I not congratulate you not once, but twice in my original post?
BTW, Chemistry does make a difference in the outcome of games just so you know, Even Bort has said so, he just will not tell how it works. I have been reading about it for over a week now, it was a concern of mine and my GMs for the first game we played against you. Why do you think Bort is making the changes to it that he is for season 3? Have you seen this?
http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=292436 Because people do not like it, it takes away from the "best gameplan" winning the day....I have no idea what effect Chemistry had on our VERY good game, but it did have some effect, we'll never know and it doesnt matter!!!
But, again...this is a topic for another day, I am bowing out and you own the day! You won and deserve to face Gilead!
Good luck...hope to play you guys again one day
