Warrior General Games

Well that certainly was an interesting week that led to some major changes in the top 10, but nobody fell out. Here are your new rankings...


Rank - Team name - Standings - Synopsis - Change
1. Austin Lumberjacks (6-1) – One of the three undefeated killers this week, knocking off the Legends and doing it in VERY impressive fashion. Anybody saying they don’t belong at the top after that beautiful win is clearly insane. It’s not going to get any easier as the Resurrection look for revenge after their loss. (+4)

2. (TIE) N.H. Hounds (6-1) – Did everything short of winning the game, falling just a point short. Only had 12 offensive plays in the 4th quarter, with 23 defended. Not the ratio you want in the 4th of a close game. Also, 5 of those plays were for zero or negative yards. The Hounds need to rebound very quickly, as New Orleans is next. (-1)

2. (TIE) Miami Canes (6-1) – Got back to the top of the standings with another close victory against the Golden Kangaroos. Kicker Morten Andersen is king of the Canes right now, 106 points strong and the leading scorer on the team by far. Canes need to start getting some more TDs, the FGs could kill them. (+1)

4. San Marcos Rivermen (5-2) – Knocked off the lone undefeated team in the East in a 1 point game. Scored one less time, but scored the right way with three quality red zone scores. Should have three fairly easy wins coming up, only the Soldiers will be able to provide a form of challenge against the Rivermen. (+2)

5. Phoenix Resurrection (6-1) – Five turnovers to two, and the defense disappeared the rest of the way. 300+ yards against and a huge hole early with a 31-0 halftime deficit. Simply got outplayed by a better team on this game, but Phoenix is not done at all, but Austin and Anchorage could lead to a 3 game losing streak with bad luck. (-3)

6. Raving Mad Dawgs (6-1) – Absolutely tore Colorado Springs a new one, defense allowing a total of 56.5 yards while scoring 57 points. Think about that for a second, more points than yards allowed. That’s a full team victory. Still have yet to fully hit the meat of their schedule, but it’s coming up on them pronto. (+1)

7. Las Vegas Legends (6-1) – Shutout, worst defensive showing by 20 points and two of next three games can be just as difficult to win. Legends need to turn it around quick or else this could start to drop them from even having a home field advantage in the playoffs. Up next is key matchup with Maulers. (-3)

8. Dallas Strikers (5-2) – Proved their worth in the top 10 with a great win against Tucson in a difficult game. Offense has hit its stride with over 110 points in the last 3 games and it wasn’t even Out of State. Better be careful though, Raving Mad Dawgs are next and ready to go. (+2)

9. Anchorage Maulers (5-2) – It’s hard to not gain a position while winning a game, but that was a very unconvincing win against Tallahassee, but that could be personal Miami hatred against Tally, too. Maulers have the toughest possible schedule in the next two games, with opponents records totaling 12-2. (0)

10. New Orleans Golden Kangaroos (5-2) – Difficult loss against the Canes isn’t enough to drop them out, but the next game against the Hounds could certainly push the Golden Kangaroos out. This team is very well rounded, and should be able to come back without a problem. (-2)

Any win's a good 'un. It was vital that we won that game against Tallahassee no matter how we did it, so we have to be pleased. Can understand the lack of a rankings boost though!

Yeah, Strikers had a good win at a good time to make the whole situation very odd. If the Maulers bring it the next 2 games, they'll jump up and right quick.

Welp, that was screwy. I wish I had a player other than a damn Kicker on the Resurrection to help out, but as it stands we got our asses torn a new one by the Oilers.

Good game guys, you got a very well deserved W off of us today.

Nobody believes your self depreciating,well meaning and non-controversial facade Pip. GO BACK TO FRANCE, FRENCHIE!

Seriously, I think they're sandbagging. Team to beat. Mark it down.

A little if we're being honest, but not enough to be the team to beat.

I'm sure there are a lot of teams who haven't boosted in key positions anyway so we're not the only team sandbagging.

We will take that ranking...seems fair

Definately thought the rankings were fair in regards to the Hounds/Miami tie. Also agree with the number one ranking and good to see Rivermen get a bump...thier bump in rankings say as much about us as it does about them

I just think that maybe we (the teabaggers) aren't as bad as everyone projects us out to be. With a little bit of luck, we could be looking at a 4-3 record right now. Low team chemistry sucks donkey balls lol. Mad mad props to the Maulers punter in the 4th quarter though. Sticking us down at the 3 or wherever it was.

Yeah, think that's my guys first 50+ yard punt that's not gone for touchback, probably saved our game as you guys were on top a lot of that second half.

Hatemobster, love the avatar, but I hate Tally!!! Y'all don't have a bad team, the close games you just haven't closed out. 3 losses by a combined 8 points.

Tell me about it! The Tallahassee name was just b/c it started with T and that was the first city I thought of. I'm by no means a florida fan at all lol. I'm from Michigan so I root for the Maize n Blue! I could've chosen the Traverse City Teabaggers lol...but blahh idk. I just wish we could close out games

True enough. By the way, Appalachian State.

Hounds lose to Roos...

Hounds lose to Roos due to a definite skew in the sim. Hounds have a dominating O-line and the sim made it look like they were a bunch of level 1's. I can see if it would have been close for the rush/pass defense being close to our blocking but we had 42 to the Roos 30. Thank the server for giving you the win Roos.
