Look at the Skulls D stats, and tell me how any team is better. I like our D better than our O.
Not to mention most of your team is owned by you, lol. I hear ya about the stats, but that doesn't really mean anything. I don't consider your defense to be the best and maybe we can show you that in the playoffs. Your defense is good, however I think we can run right through them if we play our cards right.
Btw I agree with starting level 4 guys, well to be honest TB started our team recruiting level 4's-7's. Most of them where level 4 though at the beginning of the season and we've climbed fast. I feel we've done really well. Stats mean nothing and there are always upsets and there are always teams that are better then your team. It's about luck, skill, and knowing what the other team will do.

The BYB D has over 12 FG on us that are 17-19 yards (that means goal line stands. 6 shutouts. 4 games held opponents to 7 points or less. Two teams put up more than 20 on us. Held the Skulls to 13 points (they held us to 3, lol).
What I am saying is that when you matchup most of the high end teams against some of the mediocre teams... your D looks really good. I want to know what your D did against the good teams of the conference.
We had the misfortune to play the Rahls game 1, which they put up 24 on us. At that time we had no idea how the sim worked and the AI passed 88 times for us, so we couldnt generate an offense. After we figured it out the only team to put up more than 20 on us was Pecota which you can argue has the best offense in the league.
Another thing; Teams with methodical offenses dont get very many Defensive plays on them, so they dont rack up D stats. Our D has no person with tackles in the top 10 in the league. IN fact, our highest tackler has 74, and the lowest in the top 10 has 93. The fact of the matter is that we wear teams out and they dont stay on the field against us.
So, I dont think we have the best D, but we have a very good one.
Edit: We only put up 13 points on the Isotopes, 1 TD 2 FG. We did have 144 yards rushing, but our passing attack was virtually shut down. I think their D coordinator is one of the best.
Totally agree. I know we've played teams at the beginning of the year that still had alot of cpus. However, I think we've still came along way and we've played a few really good teams this season and have still managed to keep them at a low scoring game. I feel the skulls will have a tough time if they play us and I feel they won't score more then 24 against us.
