Warrior General Games

Well, the regular season is almost complete and the playoff bracket is mostly finalized. Troy and Night Lights have already asserted themselves as 1 seeds and Bluefield and Springfield are set as the 2 seeds.

The only seeds that are still in any kind of real contention is the West's 5 seed between Kcuf' and Chicago (although it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that Chicago will take the 5th seed).

Western conference

A big game is set between Minnesota and Troy. Both teams are pretty much in the same situation as both boosted early. Unfortunately for Minnesota they had a tough non-conference opponent to start the season and Troy played a CPU in week 1. If not for that Minnesota would be playing to force a three way tie-breaker between them, Troy, and Bluefield. As is stands now, Troy has locked the 1 seed and Minnesota is locked in as the 3 seed.

The Bluefield/Kcuf' looks like a big game on paper but their records are deceiving and this is definitely a tale of two teams. I sincerely believe that Bluefield with one loss and the 2 seed is the team to beat in the playoffs in the Western conference. Kcuf' has been in a pretty big tailspin the second half of the season and will most likely drop to the 6 seed after this game. Kcuf' has dropped 4 of their last 7 after starting the season 8-0.

The remaining playoff teams in the West will finish up against CPUs.

Eastern conference

The big games have all pretty much been played and the playoff seeding for all intent and purposes has concluded.

The only game of note in the East this week is South Pole @ Bay City. This game is pretty much just for bragging rights since both teams are locked in at their current seeds. This will conclude a tough portion of the schedule for both teams. South Pole just lost in a tough match-up with Springfield and Bay City is coming off convincing losses to Iowa City and Night Lights.

Predictions

Minnesota vs. Troy. I think this will be a close game but I give the edge to Troy. Minnesota dropped games to Springfield and Bluefield by a combined 133-10 earlier in the season even though they had a sizeable level advantage. Troy did have the win earlier this season over Bluefield. The deal with Minnesota is basically the same as it was with Bay City in the East. They have yet to beat a quality opponent this season and they are suspect until they do so. This is their chance to prove themselves before the playoffs.

My pick...Troy by 3 over the Purple People Eaters. Minnesota wins big against Troy handing them a 70-3 loss. Troy may be in serious trouble in the playoffs if they don't get certain aspects of their defense figured out.

Bluefield at Kcuf'. This game is a formality as I expect Bluefield to win easily and Chicago to move in as the 5 seed. I'm picking Bluefield to walk away with a 42 point win. Bluefield wipes Kcuf' off the map with a 100-6 victory.

South Pole at Bay City. South Pole looks to put their close loss to Springfield behind them and close out the regular season with a win. Bay City is trying to avoid beginning the playoffs on a three game losing streak. Sorry Bad Boys but it's not going to happen...South Pole by 30. South Pole takes it 28-7 in a game that admittedly was closer than I thought it would be.

The problem with Bluefield is one of my OC's betrayed me and set us to 100% passing and put his backups in... Otherwise we would have beaten them I think..

Your pass/run plays were about 50/50 before you got way behind and you had Bluefield outleveled to boot. On top of that, your defense gave up nearly 600 yards to Bluefield's offense. They had 285 yards rushing and 296 passing. They attempted 37 rushes and you attempted 33 rushes. Both of you played pretty balanced offensively.

We had 78 pass attempts and 33 rush attempts that's nowhere close to 50/50. Plus every pass attempt was from our Rushing QB because we didn't have a Passing QB at the time.

That sucks! I do feel for you cause i was expecting a much tougher game, unfortunately as only a co-owner I cant send out a scrimmage for a rematch, as i found out when I tried to send out a scrim to Dub J's team

Should be a great rematch then when we meet in the second round. Since we haven't boosted and no-one wears CE it's likely that will be about as far as we go, however we'll definitely go down fighting

Dub J appreciated sub thread:

great job all season buddy!!

I am really looking forward to the playoffs, it is tough here in peewee copper to keep your chin up and stay motivated as very few games are close and most are decided within the 1st Quarter.

Your weekly write ups have been insightful, and pretty much spot on. Thanks! I know I've looked forward to them every time I come over to our peewee forum

Well Done

thanks a lot for these this season Dub J!

Thanks, I will try to do something for the playoffs but I'm not sure if I can.

Your first 30 plays --> 17 rushes/13 pass attempts.


Your offense started passing a lot after you was down by 52+ in the 3rd quarter. And that still doesn't address the fact your defense gave up 582 yards.

Keep in mind that I'm not trying to pick on anyone's team. I'm just trying to give an honest assessment of how things are in this league. The reason I think things are going to be so tumultuous in the Western conference playoffs is due to early boosters racking up wins that they may not have gotten otherwise. The Eastern conference seems to be a bit more stable.

I really think some people are going to be shocked with what happens in the West.

great write up Dub J i hope we end up int eh same silver together so we can continue what could be a great rivalry

LOL,

I figured out how to make an AI,

watch out now!!!

hopefully it makes up for us boosting early

Your assessment is bullshit. Watch out for us in the play-offs.

You're entitled to your opinion just as I'm entitled to mine. One thing that you can't argue with is the fact your team is 0-2 vs. legitimate opponents. Not only are you 0-2, but your mostly level 4s at the time were defeated by a team comprised of only lvl. 1s by 39 and later on in the season a team that you had outleveled beat you by 94.

You can ignore facts now, but when the playoffs get here there is nowhere to hide.
