Warrior General Games

Wow, there were some crazy games going on this past week. First off, The Agency pulls off the upset against a Cleveland squad that unfortunately was missing their DC. Secondly, the Broncos continue their mad dash for the playoffs, knocking the Pitbulls out of playoff contention. This week, things have mostly calmed down for the top half of the Conference, while a few teams are still struggling for a playoff shot.

Last Weeks Match Ups: 6/8
(The Agency upsets the Cleveland Warriors)

As far as the game with the Pitbulls and Broncos go...I really don't know. Both teams have had some good ups, and some pretty bad downs. I'm going with the Pitbulls if only because they've shown a little more consistency on both sides of the ball...though the Broncos always seem to come up with something wacky to bring to the field.
- Me, commenting on the Broncos/Pitbulls game. The Broncos would prove me wrong again, as they rolled on to an impressive shutout of the Pitbulls, 52-0.

your game is going to be a good one to watch, I suspect it will be very close. As far as the Broncos I took over the O and D coordinating 4 games ago and hopefully can help a good group of agents get into the playoffs. A rushing QB offense was new to me so it took me a couple games to get it right,LOL.- The recently appointed Head Coach of the Broncos, explaining the Broncos' recent success.

Week 14 Match Ups
My pick is in bold.
Close games will have both teams bolded. ** is my guess.
Game of the week will look like this.

1.) MMD (13-0) vs. High School of Georgia Wildcats (0-13)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7881&team2=7754
Nothing to see here but death and destruction folks. I expect MMD to pictch a shutout and get over the 100 mark for the second time this season. Needless to say, MMD's spot won't be challenged. It's a race for second place.

2.) The Agency (11-2) vs. Bowling Green Fighting Pups (3-10)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7889&team2=7779
The Agency pulled off the upset in the last round of games to take the #2 spot from the Cleveland Warriors (against my own prediction ). Having finished the tough stretch in their schedule the Agency now finishes their season with "softer" teams, but can't overlook Bowling Green, who have shown the ability to score on almost anyone (have only been shutout by Dunwich and MMD).

3.) Cleveland Warriors (11-2) vs. Chicago Mobsters (10-3) (Please see my post concerning this game responding to 1kwerdna)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7725&team2=6830
The Warriors were stunned last week against the Agency and things don't get any easier. They face off with the Mob this week, who have shown some grit. I think the Warriors get the better of the Mobsters this week because their coordinator returns, and the Mob's D let a CPU team drop 35 points on them. Unacceptable. They have to do better on the defensive side of the ball if they want a shot at beating Cleveland. Will the Mobsters fix their defensive issues, or will Cleveland's renewed defense simply shut them down?

4.) Chicago Terminators (10-3) vs. Woodland Wildcats (7-6)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=6771&team2=7738
This would have been the game of the week had the Wildcats not gone CPU. As it is, The Terminators look to maintain their winning streak (second longest in conference).

5.) Thunder Bay Wolfpack (8-5) vs. Semper Saints Jr. (3-10)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7799&team2=6850
The Wolfpack put up a valiant effort against the Terminators last week and kept it close, but it wasn't enough. They finally have a shot at ending their 3-game losing streak against a team that has seriously struggled this season. Thunder Bay has a great opportunity here to tweak their game planning and tactics with this game.

6.) Chico's Bail Bonds Bears (8-5) vs. Blackfoot Broncos** (6-7)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=6875&team2=7648
This has shaped up to be a pretty intense game with lots of side stories. The Bears have quietly put up a successful bid for the playoffs, while the Broncos have experienced a revamped offense and defense, and are knocking on the door to the playoffs. The Bear's could put a serious dent in the the Bronco's playoff hopes, but I think the Broncos will be able to pull this one out.

7.) Philly Pitbulls** (6-7) vs. Sarasota Demons (5-8)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7872&team2=7628
The Pitbulls suffered a serious loss that probably puts the playoffs out of their reach, particularly with some tough teams still on their schedule. They get a chance to ease their pain against the Sarasota Demons, but it will by no means be an easy game. With both teams looking to keep the faintest of playoff hopes alive, this is a critical game. I think the Pitbulls pull out a close one because they've shown a little kick on offense.

8.) Deep Creek Grizzlies (2-11) vs. Madison Stronghorns (0-13)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7756&team2=7483
DCG recorded their second win last game, and look to add a third to their total, while Madison continues to flounder. I say DCG takes this one, in the battle of the low tiers.

Discuss.

Nice! but... I dont know if agency beating Cleveland was a huge upset... Just two good teams

Hey!! Unacceptable! Do your research before throwing out low blows like that to the Mobsters!
We go to experimental DAI's, force our backups, and only run one play on offense when we're up by 50 or more points!! Hence, we were up 56-0 and that AI triggered, thus allowing them to score points against us.. Jeezz..

I meant no offense to the team or how you run things. Granted, I did not do more than a cursory glance at the game score on your team page, so I did NOT look at the box score. That one's on me. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

So. My apologies to the Chicago Mobsters and their administration.

(Truth. The Mobsters did completely blank them (52-0 at that point) before the AI kicked in, allowing the CPU team to score)

if I had the time to research the picks I throw out other than box scores and personal biases... I wouldnt get to the actual gameplanning lol dont feel bad, and yes I do think the Agency is a very good team, I've recognized that a loong time ago...

lol Kwer, maybe you should of kept that underwraps to let us in Cleveland be left in the dark... =/ might have to gameplan harder now. (I'm kidding that doesnt change how I gameplan for you at all... your very dangerous.)

Damn we have been under dogs to this point. Now you say we may win and put on the pressure. THANKS fortune. LOL.

sucks dont it... especially when its close its like -corsses fingers- PLEASE!!!!!

So Mobsters/Warriors might be the game of the week in the West, but this is also in contention for the game of the league..
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7530&team2=6894
I don't know why but I sort of forgot that there was a whole different conference in which I see a team with a 13-0 record and a team with a 36 overall in their lolbars.. Yikes.

Well, to be fair (or unfair i suppose?) I've only been covering the West, since I don't feel like I know enough about the east (that and covering the West in and of itself is enough work ). But yes, if I were doing league wide coverage, that game would definitely be the Game of the Week.

I pick Sacramento, they're a great team, but the muskies are better... BUT Sacramento looks to have boosted key positions, three levels for their first string players, and everybody else by one level, the owner also owns a TON of the players.

I expect he is doing this
Boosting Second String HB and QB fully, and all other second strings by one or two levels depending
Wait until playoffs
Win first round and then boost all first string players fully, and boosting the rest of the second string players

With that method he really isnt "Only hurting himself by boosting" hes getting good data for playoffs, and hes going to have the players and levels to do it... only thing he has to worry about is having the cash

Im worrying over the mob... big time... but not nearly as much as I'm worried about Dyslexic, Cleveland and Arizona have totally different al's to so I'm worried about how well this al will work...
