After going undefeated for 75% of the season will they lose 4 straight and stumble into the playoffs?

Either they lost some game planning ability or this is a deliberate feint of weakness.

Or something has been changed in the sim that is really kicking our asses

We don't know what is going on either, but it's incredibly frustrating.....

Honestly, I have no clue if that statement is true or not....but that's about all I can come up with to justify it *shrug* I may be right....or I may be talking out of my ass.

I don't know about that theory, the Krakens are a lower leveled team than we are.

But whatever is the cause, it is extremely frustrating. We've lost the turnover battles BADLY in our last few games, and it came out of nowehere it seems. Losing the turnover battle the way we have the last few games will always result in a loss.

I noticed that a lot of your fumbles have come in the special teams area. I am wondering if Bort reverse-nerfed a bit of the Sure Tackler\Power Tackler nerf that happened earlier. I was a very vocal protester of that change without a VA reset for any teams that had invested in both as a combo.

We are a slow built team too.

We've noticed that too, and if you take a further look we've put out HB's and WR's with high carrying at KR/PR in hopes of eliminating our fumbling problems. Let's just say a 60 Carrying player is having the same troubles holding onto the ball, for whatever reason. Its damn frustrating honestly...

Not taking anything away from any of our last opponents though. Very good teams and all played a very good game.

Minn. was definitely the team to beat, probably still is. Can't figure.

Agreed....nothing should be taken away from any of the teams that have beaten us. If it is a sim change, then they are subject to it as well, and if it's not a sim thing, then they are just the better team then we are during the game.

i dunno that it is a sim thing, tbh.
Top teams weren't that far apart in the first place... I think it is schedule and such.... Detroit's play seems to be consistent, imo, getting lucky in some, and unlucky in others.

I am so looking forward to the playoffs though, I think we achieved unprecedented parity this season, at least in this league.
