ya - would be a ton of fun to build a pro or vet level team instantly...but I know that isn't in the game plan for bortdog

Come on TxSteve. You can drop the schtick. You've got a 100 lolrundefense bar. There's a reason you're murdering Queen City, or Portland, or going to murder I've Never Had Sex. Salty is the only other team with a defense besides your own capable of shutting you down, but their offense got murdered by the changes. Teams with lolrundefense bars over 85 have a nice chance to slow you down, but if they're a run first offense themselves, they ain't gonna score enough for it to matter. You're built better to maul a fellow run first team than you are to maul pass first teams. You can stop pretending that you might lose to any of those teams.

The only way you lose this season with the way the sim changed is if ya'll go inactive or intentionally throw a game.

and what prevented YOU from having a 100 runloldefensebar? The choices you made...with player builds and with roster. That is your fault....no one elses.

When we were in journey and pro - we were looking up - building a D to give us a chance against the top teams: DD / QC / Hawaii. You were in the same league with Hawaii -- but apparently kept building your D to stop the pass....that's on you dude.

Exactly what I thought...so you are not allowed to point at ur team stoppend certain things when you built good toons? Ok...

Lets all keep in mind that Running teams like Steve's and my teams blocking skills will be slowly depreciating each season, and to hold off on any changes until the penalty is in full effect. More blocks will be broken = more gang tackling = power backs easier to stop.

This is going to supress pass blocking too over time. More low quality hurried throws, sooner throws to still covered targets, and more sacks that could mean more fumbles too.

Can we maybe a start a new thread for this converstaion? Robs initial idea was pretty good and it got kinda OT^^

Looks like everyone won except for one team.

Too Many Cooks picked up a tie and then the Cobras went ahead and beat them.

That was suspenseful. Good thing that snake doesn't like Asian food.

I was expecting that thing to latch onto his cheek or chin or lip or something

I'll direct you to Xars for this one. He's keenly aware of the math behind it.

I'd also point out it wasn't Hawaii that was the Season 2 boogey man until we finally hit Veteran. Everyone was chasing Salty and/or Harrisonburg most of the way up the ladder. Logic dictated it was better for us to assemble Air Raid to beat Atlantic City, Louisiana, Harrisonburg, and Salty moreso than Hawaii or Andes. We succeeded. We even were good enough to beat Hawaii too. We had the hand grenade in the paper, rock, scissors debate until Minnesota came in with the atom bomb.

Hawaii was better than Minnesota

Only reason you were able to hang on was your Offense wasnt as known as it is now with tools like couting tool, showing exactly how to stop your same plays the best. Really think Hawaii was the top of the game

Hawaii wasn't better than Minnesota. Even a season behind in SPs Hawaii needed a a big 4th QTR to come back and win in there only match-up.

Big 4th quarter comeback =/= Trailing for 13 seconds in the beginning of the 4th quarter.

Against a team you had an advantage of ~45000 SPs per position.

You already said that in your post claiming we needed a big comeback lol.

Sorry bertdawg didn't give us the draw later on
