Warrior General Games

This week there are many GREAT matchups and due to that there is no game of the week this week as you can arguably say there are 3 of them have have a huge magnitude in the playoff race.


Detroit Foreclosures (5-4) (56) at Canton Bulldogs (2-7) (118)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/160/297
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15430

This game is crucial for Detroit. They cannot afford another loss to a lesser team or they lose almost all hope of making the playoffs. They were sitting 2 games back but due to a stumble by MoD they have new light on the wild card race. Detroit is a hot/cold team that seems to play to their competition many times. Canton's 2 wins have been against equal to lesser opponents so Detroit has some breathing room as long as they do not beat themselves in this game.

PREDICTION: Detroit Foreclosures 28 - Canton Bulldogs 10

New York Gangsters (6-3) (60) at DeepRoute Allstars (6-3) (50)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/291/300
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15426

DeepRoute starts their gauntlet of games to close the season out. Currently sitting behind Ministry for the wild card spot due to a h2h loss. The Gangsters have a very comfortable 4 game lead in their division and are not looking to lose that spot anytime soon. Will DeepRoute take advantage of the lull that New York are going through and put the pressure on Ministry or take the lead from them outright. Despite their higher ranking I would put them as the slight underdog in this game and New York will be taken to the wire but the Gangsters will hold on and win.

PREDICTION: New York Gangsters 21 - DeepRoute Allstars 20

Alpine (9-0) (3) at Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies (5-4) (86)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/292/34
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15427

What ever water they are drinking up in the Alps is working. Could it be the high altitude training? Could it be the buzz of the winter Olympics? Who knows, except for the fact that Alpine are kicking ass and taking names later. Tampa has been the toughest competition for Alpine to date. Helmand will need to pay close attention to the review tape of the Detroit, Ministy and Tampa games to find a way to slow down Alpine.

PREDICTION: Alpine 38 - Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies 7

Rhode Island Aftershocks (0-9) (187) at Sacramento B-Squad (2-7) (131)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/293/357
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15425

The bottom team of the Alpha conference versus the bottom team of the Gamma conference. Biggest question in this game is will Rhode Island have their first win of the season? I think not, try again another day.

PREDICTION: Sacramento B-Squad 17 - Rhode Island Aftershocks 3

Ministry of Dotball (6-3) (84) at Tampa Piranhas (7-2) (40)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/294/295
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15428

Ministry has been waiting all year for this matchup. The sting of losing in the first round of the playoffs last season has not been forgotten by the MoD team. They still claim foul play surrounding the final minute of the game despite the reassurances from the league officials that there was none. Ministry will do everything in its power to win this game due to the fact that they NEED to win it. Another league loss puts them in a direct tie with Detroit and possibly behind DeepRoute for the wild card spot. Currently they hold the h2h against DeepRoute but have lost to Detroit already. This game should be a very close game that will be decided by mistakes made late in the game, but Ministry will have their revenge!

PREDICTION: Ministry of Dotball 14 - Tampa Piranhas 10

South 'Cooley-High' Rangers (4-5) (121) at Texas Toast (2-7) (223)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/358/298
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15429

The Rangers have a HUGE outside shot of making the playoffs and will need to be perfect from this point on to hold that chance true. Sitting in the best division of Osprey doesn't make that too much of a reality but they will walk away this week with a win to give some light to the cause.

PREDICTION: South 'Cooley-High' Rangers 24 - Texas Toast 17

helmand has been on a roll lately, beating both detroit and mod in successive weeks...they might give alpine a tough game.

B-Squad is really B-Squad this season.

the sad thing is, b squad has won most of there ladder games...just have to find a way to translate that into league matches.

I'm all alone on the coaching and game management and just haven't found the right way to get the offense set up. Our defensive guys have been pretty good I think.

A lot of us know the feeling of having to do the coaching all alone lol. But, it's sometimes harder than some people think.

This.... unless your Alpine and then you just well... take it easy

I swear with the amount of times they run the spread, I sometimes think they are a whore.

Hehe.


I only change the tactics when it stops working. Built a base offense and defense early in season one and had one major upgrade during the middle of that season when we sucked. Haven't really touched a thing since. Tried to game plan for the playoffs, but that didn't work to well so now I just sit back and watch (and sometimes randomly change some percentages to give you guys an idea of us knowing what we are doing - like the run heavy offense early in the season for instance)

LOL hope there is more to it then this, but at least you gave me a good laugh. +1 rep.

If we can keep it close I will be happy. Until this Chemistry gets a little closer we are probably going to stay on the outside looking in. We wil give it a go though.

Whole team is pretty active and applying sp daily along with input on things that are working/not working which helps.

GG Tampa, probably wouldn't have mattered but I forgot to assign 4000 SP to all my players for this game

I personally thank you for that. Now Detroit has a shot at the playoffs.

GG Canton
