Warrior General Games

Week 2: 7-1
Week 3: 6-2
Season: 13-3

I had two teams have the nerve to prove me wrong last week! HOW DARE THEM!!!!! Let's see what teams are man enough to step up to do it this week...

Game of the Week
Warsaw Knuckleheads at Transylvania Bloodsuckers
This week features 2 2-1 teams facing each other in what should be a great matchup of two strong offenses. Bloodsuckers' lone loss was to Amsterdam in week 1 facing a huge level disparity. Warsaw's only loss came to South Yorkshire last week. Suckers have been rolling ever since, and Warsaw will be looking to bounce back after a tough loss. It looks to me like the progress of the Suckers has been just a bit more accellerated than Warsaw. I think the matchups they have in a few key skill positions will prove to be very effective in this matchup. The Warsaw D has shown vulnerability against a talented offense, and I look for Tran to capitalize on that.

Kilkenny Cannibals at Ithaca Space Munkees
Cannibals have the favorable matchup at basically every position in the field. This team is better than some teams who have logged a win, and they will find their first win this week in a very convincing fashion.

Grim Reapers at Oklahoma (U.S.A.) Outlaws
Reapers were one of those jackasses to prove me wrong last week, so this is how i repay them. Prove me wrong again this week, I dare you! lol. But seriously... Like I said after game 1... Reapers are a contendor in this league. And the Outlaws are making steps in the right direction--they're on their way--But they aren't there yet. Reapers win this one. Don't expect it to be a 1 posession game.

Dublin Drunken Monkeys at St. Louis Storm
St.L is bring the highest lvl RB in the league to the field, and it's all a a matter of how well the D-Monks can handle him. I think their higher degree of completeness will prove to be the difference. No talent spikes. So i think Dublin pulls of another W against a very quality opponent.

London Chiefs at Amsterdam Artic Blast
The Blast is coming off a surprising loss, and it seems they were upset by it. They have brought it some new guns to add to the roster... They will win this game purely off lvl advantage. No amount of tactical planning in GLB could make for the attribute disparity in this one. Sorry, London... no offense; I just call it like I see it.

Belfast Mafia at Wrexham Maelor Brionnfhionn
Belfast beat the team at the top of the totem pole last week with their victory over Amsterdam. I can't in good faith pick against a team coming off a win like that. So nothing against Wrexham , but I have to give this one to Belfast until someone can stop their march.

Basin City Blues at Vatra Dornei Wraiths
I told this forum the Blues were a legit team, and they took up for my comments with a W last week. I think they continue that run in Game 4. They got those 2 losses under their belt and pushed to the back of their minds. The Wraiths are no cupcake, though... so if I am naming the trademark "Hard to call" pick of the week... this one is it. Wraiths could easily be one of the ones to make a liar out of me this time... But it's on them to get a good gameplan for it.

South Yorkshire Stars at Crimson and Cream Sooner Machine
Stars are coming off a very commanding shutout victory over the then league-leading offense.. and have allowed less than 25 rushing yards on the season. It's hard to pick agaist that... especially against a defense still fielding CPU players. So I see the Stars winning this one big...
--------------------------------------------------

There ya go, folks! Let the discussion begin! Why am I wrong? Who will poin tout t ome my incorrect picks? Feel free! Let's give those Zeta peeps something to envy.

Good luck to all teams in Game 4!

also the basin city blues have the league leading wr.

actually, Joker from the Dawgs leads the league with 6.5 more yards. very close though. darn zetas.

Yea, like it's our fault you was silly enough to pick against Death Incarnate. Obviously, you forgot to factor in our supernatural connections.

well technically Joker is a TE so beardown's statement is true. Hooray for technicalities.

I just can't put that into a ton of consideration, honestly. And it's no offense to the player because I am sure he's good and all.... But I doubt he has that title come end of the season. And in all liklihood, had you guys had an easier start to the schedule, he probably wouldn't be there now... since you wouldn't be passing as much in the second-half. So yeah, it's a bit hard to really sway a predcition based solely on stats of one player when they aren't exactly a huge talent mismatch.

But good luck, nonetheless. Feel free to pursue the season-long quest of proving that one wrong, too.

Bolts if you look at the stats the majority of his yards came from the last game we just played, where we didn't throw that much. And as far as an easier start to the schedule, if we had that he's stats would be much more padded because our plan was to start the season through the air, those two dominant teams and good defenses kept us in check. It had nothing to do with being up or down. Also considering the fact that the nearest receiver is almost 60yards behind and we plan on having another big game this week, I think he's very close to a lock for that.

Im not trying to be cocky becasue we're far from being the best team in our conference let alone a perfect team but we do know how to throw the ball.

I disagre. For example the best game professor touchdown had was our last game. Which was the easiest one we've had so far. And i think its hard to say we were passing all the time in the second half of the first game because we were winning going into the second half.

Oh and i just wanted to say i meant conference, leading wr, but like pitythefool said "Hooray for technicalities."

First game of the season we were leading at the half and 6 of his 9 catches came in the first half.

The game we played against your team bolt 20 of our 40 passing attempts came in the second half, doesn't seem too much like junk yards.

That being said i hope this doesnt deter you from talking nice about us in your write ups. They're a great contribution to the league and its always nice to see some other people respect you despite a crappy record...

Also I hope this doesn't come across as being pushy but it kind of sucks when you see that the one thing your team has going for you being written off as junk yards and padded stats

what i've learned from all of this... Basin City Blues = big babies

oh and also i didnt see pitythefools post before. I control professor touchdown and i felt obligated to defend my player. whatever i hope to read more of your predictions in the future.

also sorry for making my team look bad, and like big babies

I'm not insulting him. That wasn't the intent. I attacked no one. But if you make the insinuation that you have the best WR in the league, i can't come out and say I am going to use that in a prediction when I don't think it's anywhere near true. As I said... and I will say anymore in repetition.... is that I am sure he is good. But I highly doubt he has that title come the end of the 16th game.

Oh its cool i guess when you get off to a rough start you just get a little defensive when you know you have a team that can compete
