I don't think there is any denying that my Bears team is a lot better with Bevo running the offense than when I ran the whole team solo. With a baby in the house, and work getting a TON busier, I just don't have the time I used to spend on this game. The past couple seasons, I focused what little time I did have more on the offense and my defense suffered, and that's where I usually got burned in the playoffs. Bevo's addition gave me the time to focus on my defense, and it got better. Hell, had my FS not missed that one tackle, the championship game likely would have been a 1 point win for MG based off a missed XP. Just one of those things that randomly happens...
And there is no denying that I had a run of bad luck in the playoffs, but it would be ignorant for anyone to presume that run would automatically continue without help. I get more and more playoff experience every season and it would only have been a matter of time before I went deep in the playoffs on my own. Sure, Bevo's addition helped with that and might have gotten me deeper sooner than I would have on my own, but I would have gotten there at some point.
Lastly, great builds make a huge difference. For the past couple seasons, RK's builds have had the highest LOLbars out of nearly any team in Gold, so kudos to him on that. Does that automatically mean he will win, no, but it is an advantage, especially if your offense & defense is built to take advantage of those builds.
