Who you predicting will win?

I'll be honest and say I don't know enough about the Western Conference so I'll just predict the Eastern side for now.

1 vs 8
This depends, if Buncha sits their starters like they did last week they lose big, if they start them like they did vs Danbury, they just might pull off this "upset".

I don't know what they are doing, but if they leave their starters in, I think they upset Las Vegas and leave LV with us down in BBB next season.

4 v 5
USAORG should dominate Tulsa, and in the playoffs I consider dominate by 20+ points, not the 100+ we see in the regular season. Tulsa is a good team, but USA is just better IMO.

2 v 7
Trinsic is on a terror lately, Danbury, IMO, got the bad end of the stick when Buncha lost to NJ because they would have played Tulsa which I believe is not as good as Trinsic right now. This will be a very close game, but I think Danbury pulls it out in the end.

3 v 6
McLuney should win this game, but weirder things have happens. I know New Jersey has been looking forward to this game since we beat them by 1 back in week 3 on what they call a "BS sim" or something to that tune.

I see the playoffs next week looking like...

Buncha v USAORG

Danbury v McLuney

I'm rooting for Las Vegas, but if Buncha plays their new players, I just think they'll win.

To be honest, as their chemistry improves, if their 40+ guys start, I don't think anyone on either side can beat them...they stole away a championship from either Las Vegas or Pasadena.

Cloudwalkers posts to allegations

Look at my depth chart jnewkirk. My players aren't starting. I have sub in/sub out set to 60/61 so they'll only come in when the starters are extremely tired. My goal is to have the remainder of the season played out with the players that got the Nobodies this far with only enough plays for my players to ensure they get experience. This includes the play offs. It was not my intent to create an uproar and I am not trying to gain any advantage. If I had my way my players would still be on Venice. I can't control what someone else does, even if she is my girlfriend.

Again I ask, what was I supposed to do with my players? If you can provide me with a viable solution I'll be more than happy to consider it.

To call me a douche bag is completely unfair and uncalled for. I think I've more than shown that I'm willing to do the right thing here. In fact, if it turns out that my players are getting in the game too often and that it is having an impact, I'll reduce the sub in/sub out even further. For the playoffs, I will remove them completely.

I think that is more than fair.

ok I tell you all what.

I'll just run goal line offense the entire game and prevent defense the entire game.

Seriously, I didn't want to cause any problems. You all are taking this game WAY too seriously. I don't want to or need to win so bad as to have people getting so upset that they feel the need to bombard support relentlessly or to continue bad mouthing me when they have no idea who I am as a person. To call me immoral and immature is beyond belief. I had NOTHING to do with the final day drop.

Enjoy the free wins. Next season though it'll be no mercy.

I've decided I will not goal line offense or prevent defense the entire game.

I have removed all of the players that came over from Venice from the depth chart with the exception of special teams.

That's the best I can, or will, do.

The above was Cloudwalkers responses to the Cheating allegations

If he is a man of his word he will do what is right. What he does next season is up to him. I guess we will find out if this was truly gutting/collusion or just poor judgement.

My Predictions
Las Vegas wins and Buncha does what's right
USA wins against Tulsa but it will be a close game won in the 4th quarter
Danbury beats Trinsic in a game that will be a lot closer than the first meeting
McLuney edges New Jersey in a close one again and their GM goes postal in the McLuney locker room...j/k

Just predictions guys, have some fun and prove me wrong. I always love a good upset except when it's me getting upset. I think this will be a fun playoff with all teams having a shot and it will come down to game planning. Danbury is very happy about the seedings since the 3 teams we lost to are all in the top bracket and the 3 teams we already beat are in our bracket.

I don't know, they played their starters against you guys in Danbury...

I think there's a chance they might have pulled their starters against New Jersey just to upset Las Vegas in round 1...

Just a devious little plan, but I could be wrong.

I hope not, Las vegas deserves better than that and should only get beaten in a fair match.

No, I am a man of my word. Two plays on offense, vanilla defense. Vegas should win easily. If they don't it's not my fault, but they should as New Jersey was able to although they almost lost despite the fact we were conceding.

Next season though there will be no mercy. I made a mistake bringing Dream's players over and it was corrected. Her players will be joining the team in the off season though. I made my apologies but after the playoffs my penance is over.

Well, if CW is sticking to his word, then I change my predictions to LV v USA in the top half of the bracket.

I would like to thank Buncha for sticking to their word, but part of me wanted to play the true team, just to see where we stack up. I fell that you are doing the right thing, even though it must be hard to hold back a team that is better on the bench, and could be on the field, to have a possible upset in the making. We all feel this is the right choice, and if I lose against your backups, I deserve it fair and square. Good luck to all and may the best AI's win.

the way i saw it on the replays...and the way i see the depth chart now-is all the players with a # as the new guys all starting...they were starting against us last week, and they're starting now.


Maybe i'm wrong but all the players with #'s in their names were added in week 12. Cloudwalker...you talk like your doing everything right, but your play last week and your depth chart say otherwise.

GL Trinsic, may the best team win. looking for a good game, one that is a lot closer.

I want to thank Cloudwalker too, it is the right thing to do. Next season is a clean slate in my book.

It is 2:30PM and I did just look at Buncha's depth chart to see that all of the new players are starting. I am going to wait on further comment until I see what the deal is.

It actually has been for the last 3 games. Breet Farve the QB hasn't started since their game against Tulsa and hasn't had more than 21 plays the last 3 games of the season.

Players are starting but the game plan is such that it would be virtually impossible for us to win. Watch the game against NewJersey and you'll see what I mean. We go for it on every 4th down regardless of field position and run two plays on offense and the softest defense possible on defense.

I should have clarified that I was sticking to the "I'll just run goal line offense the entire game and prevent defense the entire game" part of the statement. Trust me, we won't win. I was surprised we almost beat New Jersey running just goal line offense and WR screen. Those are the same two plays we are running today and every defense we are running is a Cover 4 zone, which is as soft as you can get.
