Warrior General Games

Rankings


#1 - Portland OUTRAGE (12-1) - It's weird starting a game out so well then to feel like we got lucky to escape with a win, in essence snatching victory from the claws of defeat. I wanted to keep Porto at #1 but figured I'm gonna enjoy it while I can until Lux knocks us down few pegs..lol (Unless madcow or House beats them to it!)
Games remaining: @House, Madcow, @Lux
Outlook: House and Madcow are both still fighting to get in so an upset wouldn't be totally unfathomable. Lux and their defense could be a problem for the OUTRAGE ground game.
Probable finish: 2-1



#2 - Porto People Eaters (12-1) - In a match featuring the top 2 teams in the standings the game did not disappoint. The OUTRAGE stormed out to a nice early lead and then Portos offense started clicking in the 2nd half to give Porto the lead with just minutes remaining. Since neither team gameplanned it's hard to garner too much from the victory/loss except to say that if they meet again it will be a classic.
Games remaining: BHGM, Motor City, @House of Bat
Outlook: Motor City is capable of beating Porto, I just don't think they will, the others not so much.
Probable finish: 3-0



#3 - Motor City Heavanraisers (10-3) - Not a lot to report as they played a CPU team.
Games remaining: WUeiner CultDawgz, @Porto, Black Hand
Outlook: Cult in desperation mode and Black Hand might be out of cares after the last loss. Regardless of the situation neither team can beat Motor City unless they play lights out and catch Motor City on a bad day. As stated previously I think MCH can beat Porto, just don't think they will.
Probable finish: 2-1



#4 - Lux Borg (11-2) - Shut out another team, beating a horrible Brooklyn team.
Games remaining: NY Nightmare, @E-City, OUTRAGE
Outlook: E-City game will be very interesting as two old time rivals collide, season finale vs Portland should also be a good one as it pits two teams strengths vs the other. Portland's offense vs Lux's defense.
Probable finish: 2-1 (losing to E-City)



note: Motor City beating Porto is not all that crazy sounding and Lux can certainly beat E-City AND Portland. It could end up being a 3 way tie for first with Lux winning out due to the points allowed tiebreak.



#5 -Tigana Wolves (8-5) - Totally dismantled a Yorkshire team that needed the win as radical Dog and Brickdick ran roughshot over the Yorkshire defense.
Games remaining: @Brethren Krewe, Legends, @WUeiner CultDawgz
Outlook: They've beat the teams they should have and lost to the top teams, some of those games very close (TG, OUTRAGE). They should win the final 3, however the Legends could upset.
Probable finish: 3-0



#6 - Legends of Awesomeness (9-4) - Gave the Cultdawgz a demoralizing loss especially considering they used a player appreciation day promo. Someone was juiced over there and they still got whacked.
Games remaining: Black Hand, @Tigana, Brooklyn Warriors
Outlook: Black hand might be ready to mail it in, and Brooklyn is Brooklyn. Tigana is winnable.
Probable finish: 2-1



#7 - E-city (7-6) - Porto game notwithstanding E-City has awaken and now find themselves in the playoffs if it started today. They beat a House of Bat team that has been playing pretty solid lately.
Games remaining: @Madcow, Lux, @ South Yorkshire
Outlook: They could win out or they could lose 2 of 3. I think they're glass is half full.
Probable finish: 2-1




#8 - House of Batiatus (7-6) - Lost a tough game vs a tough team in E-City. With games vs Portland/Porto remaining this loss could prove devastating.
Games remaining: Portland, @ BHGM, Porto
Outlook: Games vs the top two seed will be difficult. If they lose those they will finish 8-8 and could end up in a tie for the 8th and final seed. They DON'T wanna be tied alone with Brethren Krewe as they lost to them in week 6, 41-17. E-City loss hurt.
Probable finish: 1-2



#9- South Yorkshire Aftershocks (A.D.D.) (6-7) - Got pounced on by the Wolves, may not hurt them too bad. May come down to tiebreakers.
Games remaining: Brooklyn, @ NY Nightmare, E-City
Outlook: With 2 gimmies and E-City an 8-8 finish is most likely. Starting to look like there's gonna be a bunch of 8-8 teams. Time to start researching the tiebreakers! A win vs E-City all but assures a playoff berth.
Probable finish: 2-1



#10 - WUiener CultDawgz (6-7) - Really couldn't afford to lose to Legends but Legends defense was stout allowing 1.1 per rush, forcing 2 fumbles and 6 sacks.
Games remaining: @Motor City, @Black Hand, Tigana
Outlook: One of the tougher remaining schedules I don't know that all 3 are winnable but they're certainly all losable. Can't overestimate how tough it's gonna be to make the playoffs. Even if they finish 2-1 it still might not be enough. Might need to win out.
Probable finish: 1-2



#11 - Brethren Krewe Turtle Ships (6-7) - Won a must win game vs a team that also used a player appreciation day promo, and finally got off the snide with a win after losing 5 straight.
Games remaining: Tigana, @Brooklyn, @ NY Nightmare
Outlook: Another team destined to finish 8-8. IF if if if if they can somehow pull a rabbit out of their hat and beat Tigana they're in.
Probable finish: 2-1



#12 - Madcow sayz eat mor chikin (5-8) They beat the Nightmare 29-24 which although a win isnt very promising considering how dreadful that team is, and that comes off an equally uninspiring victory vs Brooklyn where they won 28-20
Games remaining: E-City, @OUTRAGE, BHGM
Outlook: Considering how tough their last games were I don't see how they win out which is what they need, NOT to get in but just to be in the thick of the tiebreakers mess.
Probable finish: 1-2

GAME OF THE WEEK!!! brought to you by Primate

Brethren Krewe Turtle Ships vs Tigana Tigers
The 7 win teams aren't out of it yet, and that is exactly where turtle nation will finish if they win this one with 2 fake teams left on the docket. Tigana, OTOH, has to win 1 or 2 of the next 3 to be sure they make the PO's. Tigana appears to have the better dots and schemes and doesn't really have any of those WTF games on their resume. The question here is will BK go all out and try to keep themselves in the PO picture, or are they done for the ssn?



honorable mention

WUeiner CultDawdz vs Motor City Heavanraisers
- Same scenario as above, except Cultdawgz has to win out while MCH can do nothing and be guaranteed a PO slot. In general this week could end several seasons.





Predictions

Brethren Krewe Turtle Ships 17 vs. Tigana Wolves 42
Motor City Heavenraisers 38 vs. WUiener CultDawgz 13
South Yorkshire Aftershocks (A.D.D.) 68 vs. Brooklyn Warriors 3
Madcow sayz eat mor chikin 24 vs. E-City Mercenaries 38
House of Batiatus 24 vs. Portland OUTRAGE 35
Porto People Eaters 255 vs. Black Hand Goal Line Mafia 0
Legends of Awesomeness 33 vs. Black Hand 16
LUX Borg 28 vs. New York NightMare 3

Thanks for the writes up Mavoo

Yes.....very well done and appreciated.

Always a good read.

Not sure why the other conference is so quiet - they've got a HUGE match up with Miami playing TG. Home field advantage throughout playoffs on line.

I'd say these write-ups are average at best.

whats sad is I spend more time on these than gameplanning...lol

Great write ups. Very unlikely LUX will win out.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who gameplans in the pro leagues

Do you people not care about your dots!

Um, I'm not afraid to admit that I game plan... Doesn't always work, but I can't stand to not put in the effort.

I gameplan for the Cultdawgz. I have done very little for porto.


Team+ Primate gameplanning=Losses

Tigana is in, Turtles are gonna need help.

LOA in, BH dead

Turtles have last two games helping them at least. Last 2 opponents wont score very much if at all. Could help with tiebreakers with the cluster of teams that will finish 8-8

Rage wiped out HOB, but they still have a shot

When custom tagging goes wrong.
