I haven't watched the game but. 18 tfl on 27 touches kills drives. You play 50/50 qb/hb and you focus on killing the qb you don't have sustainability from the HB. Because you run too many chances of qb being called 2 of 3 times in a set of downs over the drive. I'll give up 5-6 ypc to a HB when over the course of a drive its likely to stall because of qb.

Remember we held Seattle to 9 last season and MEM to 14. We just stalled on offense ourselves. But all 3 teams are much improved compared to last season. So just looking to get my chances to validate my team. Its my turn to prove I belong in top 5 now especially when my goal is ladder trophy to go with league ship.



Depends on how you call your O but it's usually not as simple as just calling 50/50 on O. At least not for me with MEM. If you try to just stop the outside then you might get wrecked against us depending on how I call the game. Just look at the MEM Seattle game from earlier this season.

It is matter of perspective and for me I detest qb run reliance. You can justify it as 50/50 qb/hb but when you do that it makes it more efficient to gamble on stopping the qb. Qb is one build vs 2 builds on HB and more then likely different effectiveness. So stop the QB and you stop half the offense. Safe gamble in my mind.

The QB runs are still effective at this stage. Once the HB's start breaking more tackles, the offense will lean more towards them and eventually tuning the QB out. At it stands now, the QB rush plays have the best possibility of going for a long TD. The key is not leaning too heavily on the inside or outside. Four games ago we had 3 QB rushes and did quite terrible until the last 5 minutes of the game: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/game/134522

Either way, the sky is not falling. Adjustments will continue to be made.

Our tier is amazing where the othe owners at? we need just a bit more talkers...

I'm always game especially since I'm now easily the questionable top 5 team after losing 2 ranks (after league game) when we had a 41 point blow out win. My League isn't as strong as the others.

DWC, jhig's team, and SoA were 134, 135, 136 in the ranks and DWC beat a team ranked below 215 global. SoA beat a team that was at 140 I believe, then jhig's team beat a team that was around 185 at the time. The ranks are going to be very jumpy like this until one of us 3 go on a 2-3 game losing streak or if one of us lose a game to a very low ranked team in league play.

Unfortunately for you guys, you'll probably stay below SoA and jhig's team because you don't face anyone in the top 20 on your league schedule. This puts you at a disadvantage because if you win those games, you don't gain anything and if you lose one then you will drop really far. Your only hope is that you get to play higher ranked teams in the ladder on weeks that you play one of your CPU league opponents.

Oh I know. And I'm sure its obvious to all my team doesn't rely on any one player as all 7 wr/te are in the top 10 for their position.

I just need to tighten up the defense after last 2 ladder games...

I understand how the game makes it too efficient for qb running especially in rookie and even into sophomore. And my comment wasn't aimed at Seattle because my HB is there haha. I just don't care for it. Especially in HOF as its so favored. I mean my guy Alex is struggling in HOF despite more TD production and yardage! I mean he is doing his job too!!!!

Anyhow as I said. Jhigg has proven his team. Now I'm the weak link and need to win every game in my mind to prove we belong. Not just top 5 but among the best in the tier ....

Oh no I understand my league is weaker. Especially when the 2 other potential league champs are still 20 tier ranks lower. Just sucks to tell you team "Great job! 41-0!! We lost 2 ranks in ladder...."

Be a team player. If you have a problem with our team, talk to the coaches. No need to call us out in the forums.

Just wait until we all get to Vet and beat a team that's in the top 15 and only move up from 40 to 38

Our league is slowly getting better but i wish i was in a more prestige league. our league has potential but isn't it that the greater success of a team or 2 in a lower rank league the higher the chance of better teams to get put in that league next year?

Call you out? I called MEM on QB reliance way earlier in the day. If you think I'm calling you out might want to read my posts here and team forum more.

I've stated here that today was probably the only time I would get to say my HB was better then qb or other HB.

Also have said in team forum I'm the third wheel because I'm consistently less effective then both other options.

Just because I don't like qb run reliance doesn't mean I'm calling anyone out.

I believe it is just random league placement. You are probably more likely to have your own league fold and end up merging into other leagues. You just have to hope that you get lucky with the new league placement.

Actually, you've been a better bet than my HB this season so far.

Haven't compared recently after I started the season with back to back games of fumbles haha

Still long way off imo

Haha I'm done doing write-ups for mine. No one is engaged. Yet outside of the top 3 teams we have a competitive league ... just need them to get caught up to the other 2 at least. I only see 2 teams folding from my league ATM as they are both basically CPU. All the rest of them are easily still capable of challenging for 4th place and playoffs as no one has performed well enough outside the division leaders to say "Yep your 4th seed"
