Just stopped by to say USA AA sucks...forums are boring as all hell.

Good to see the Navs rolling, heres hoping we can sneak out of AA before you guys come up to crash the party.

Also interesting to see how a hilarious cast of mercenary GMs has helped turn aroun JetNation. To each their own.

Too bad to see Windsor will be re-rolling, but in a few more seasons we all need to re-roll anyways once our players age. Kind of makes you wonder why they didnt just start building the new wave of players in time for the deline and let the current windsor team go as far as it can.

On our side we've finally got it rolling (a big f you to Bort for his constant in-season tinkering of settings btw) in AA and have a shot at picking up the #1 seed in the west next game.

But yeah...AA Sucks. Funny how my interest in the game has waned since getting promoted...ZZZZ-fest up here.

Best of luck in ya'll playoffs.

(for what it's worth my prediction - Navs and...hmmm let's go on a limb and say Windcity will duke it out in the championship game)

We have a current team - Beer Town Brawlers

You may see them soon.

Though more than likely true, based on your assessment of AA I fucking hope not.

Please...keep talking as if you have a clue. It's very entertaining watching you make a fool of yourself.

Make a fool of myself like what...last season?

If one man's opinion makes you flare up so much I'm assuming it must either be a) true, b) someone who's opinion you value or c) that time of the month.

Since I highly doubt b), and I'm going to go out on a limb based on your superhero-themed avatar that c) is untrue based on gender, we're left to assume a).

Most people who talk about stuff that have no clue about usually look foolish.

btw I'm not trying to undermine what you guys have accomplished, I just need to see more than 1 season to be convinced. Same as with Madden Nation's turnaround from their horrible season 2 and with new teams coming up like Las Vegas.

A team like the Baltimore Kingz for example, had a great regular season last season. We thrashed them in the championship game and now in USA AA#1 they've been only average.

So it's a matter of will you turnaround and then continue pushing forward or will you stagnate and become only an average to above-average club is the real question.

I admit it may have been an oversight not to include you along with Lincoln and SF, but I can speak from experience on those two and trying to gameplan for multiple matches (5 now vs Lincoln, 3 vs SF) vs both clubs. I know what they're capable of first-hand.

You guys I can only see on paper as an impressive potential threat that will either materialize or fade in the post-season.

Don't be mistaken. I didn't speak up because you left us off any list...I was simply telling you my staff came on late in the season and I am as hands on as you will find. I am the only one who signed ,traded,cut or recruited for this team this season.

I can't comment on what others perceptions of my team are...It took me a couple season to build a quality roster before I could compete. Compared to that team you dominated the past 2 seasons...this team is pretty damn good.

When the season is over,we would love to have a rematch just to guage how far we have improved.

I have no hard feelings at all twords you.

Thanks Mak. We've added some additional weaponry to the Navs and we're about 50% unboosted still. I was really confident that we'd earn the promotion in Season 2 but we lost to GSG in the Championship. I found some problems in Season 3 in the regular season loss against the Outlaws but we were already pot committed so we tried to do some things in the Championship but I honestly felt we were the underdog.

This season, I'm cautiously optimistic but we've been fortunate to add even more talent to the roster and while our player builds aren't perfect, I think they are very solid. We certainly aren't sneaking up on anyone in USA A2 but that's what makes it fun.

GL in USA AA1. Glad to see things are working up there for you guys.

Smizzy - definitely up for a rematch in the offseason, I think that would be a great game. You guys are much improved for sure.

Good to hear you're fully in charge, in that case full marks to you because the turnaround is gigantic.

Dd - Honestly our team last season was much stronger than it was than at the start of this season due to all the changes. We became very much a pure finesse team based on speed on both sides of the ball.

This year has been a massive learning process as it's taken pretty much every game + a host of scrimmage games to re-tool our defense and defensive gameplanning.

You were witness to our early attempts at running a 3-4 (later scrapped) - which later involved in to a very complex 3-4 with a mass amounts of blitz packages (Also scrapped). We're currently running mostly 4 man fronts again and our pressure is really dialed back. It's really just getting back to basics..same on offense.

We met a lot of the same skepticism when we moved up to AA, along with the other promotee from USA A#1...(those guys are a great club as well)...we definitely have collectively proven that USA A 1/2 western conferences are to be reckoned with.

If we stay the 2nd seed it looks liek a familiar first round matchup - Golden State all over again. =p
