Last week...

1. Amsterdam, 14-1
- Where they stand: 1st. Clinched #1 seed.
- Remaining Schedule: Jellystone 3-11
- Prediction: #1 seed, 15-1.

2. Belfast, 13-2.
- Where they stand: #2. Clinched #2 seed.
- Remaining Schedule: Chocolate City 0-15.
- Prediction: #2 seed, 14-2

3. Hollywood, 12-3
- Where they stand: 3rd. Unless they lose to Sinsheim, will be #3 seed.
- Remaining Schedule: Sinsheim 3-12
- Prediction: #3 seed, 13-3

4. Dublin, 11-4
- Where they stand: Tied for 4th, seeded #4 currently (points scored).
- Remaining Schedule: Barcelona 1-14.
- Prediction: #5, 12-4
- To hold the #4 seed, will need Birmingham to surprise Dresden and win or tie them. They have the tiebreaker against Birmingham, and Dresden has the tiebreaker against Dublin.

5. Dresden, 11-4
- Where they stand: Tied for 4th, currently hold #5 seed.
- Remaining Schedule: Birmingham 11-4.
- Prediction: #4, 12-4
- Basically, they have the #4 seed if they beat Birmingham, #6 seed if they lose or tie.

6. Birmingham, 11-4
- Where they stand: Tied for 4th, seeded #6 currently.
- Remaining Schedule: at Dresden 10-4.
- Prediction: #6, 11-5
- Win or tie against Dresden gives them the #5 seed, #6 seed if they lose. #6 seed will get Hollywood a rematch against these guys.

7. Maranello, 8-7
- Where they stand: Tied for 7th, currently seeded 7th.
- How to clinch a playoff spot: Win against Reyjavic
- Remaining Schedule: Reykjavic 5-10
- Prediction: #8, 9-7

8. London, 8-7
- Where they stand: Tied for 7th, currently seeded 8th.
- How to clinch a playoff spot: They need to beat Roman and have more total points scored than Western Europe if WE wins... they currently lead by 50 points scored.
- Remaining Schedule: at Roman 2-13
- Prediction: #7, 9-7

9. Western Europe, 8-7
- Where they stand: Tied for 7th, seeded #9 currently
- How to clinch a playoff spot: Beat Cork and score 51 more points than London in the final game of the season.
- Remaining Schedule: Cork 7-8
- Prediction: #10, 8-8

10. Cork, 7-7
- Where they stand: Alone in 10th.
- How to clinch a playoff spot: Beat Western Europe and have Maranello or London lose.
- Remaining Schedule: Western Europe 8-7
- Prediction: #9, 8-8

Basically, Cork's hopes of making the playoffs are over. It is very doubtful that Maranello and London will lose their respective games against weak teams. The only way they can get in is to beat Western Europe and hope one of those teams loses.

Western Europe needs to go on a point scoring frenzy against Cork in Week 16 to have a shot to make the playoffs. Again, London or Maranello losing would make it easier... but they'd still have to beat a tough Cork team. Don't see them getting there.

Nice run at the end for the Cork and Western Europe, but I think too late.

We won't be losing to Roman and if we don't put up 100+ points then I'll be very disappointed.

Great run Cork and WEW!

I'd say we're at even odds to beat Cork, but realistically that won't be enough. The two games we lost on last minute field goals are the difference on the season.

One of those games was against Dublin (http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=399583 ), another game where the rushing exploit was used, unsuccessfully, against Dublin... 69 runs and 3 passes, LOL.

We are a running team, if you haven't realized. We always have been. I wouldn't call it a running exploit.

Rushing exploit is when one team runs the same exact play 88 times. CLEARLY, this team does not exploit the glitch. The glitch only works when you run STRONG I HB SLAM 100% of the time. There is no way to stop it if your RB's fit the bill. Nice try!

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with running said play 100% of the time if it gets you the win. Scouts jobs are to find what works and if that is it then you are dumb not to do it. It is boring as hell to watch somebody run an offense like that but if they can pull it off more power to them. It is like the damn QB rollout in Pee-Wee. Drives me nuts but if someone runs it on me I cuss and tell them GG damn I wish i could stop it.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with raping women if it gets you laid? The ends don't always justify the means. There is a somewhat loose code of honor when running a game like this and it is thinking like yours that could see many people get pissed and leave something that they once considered enjoyable. Where is the strategy, planning, and hard work when you can just set your AI to exploit a glitch that is difficult if not impossible to stop. It detracts from the game.

I have thought about leaving the game because of this but I also have some hope that it will be corrected. All I am saying is that if there is a hole in the game that a team can use then they might as well use it. If you don't somebody else will. This has been the least fun season of GLB yet and my team is on an 8 game win streak battling for the 2nd seed. In still am not as excited as I usually would be. Watching 2 teams hand the ball off all day is not my idea of fun but sitting around getting our ass kicked by teams that do it is also not fun.

BTW I agree about your 1st sentence.

Nothin wrong with running the ball all the time when we run a variety of plays.
