One shining note, Slappy Babyfist had zero sacks

Slappy has been falling off since the end of season 2

iowa deserves the bump based on what?


The fact that we are the only 48 in the match up screen in the division, the fact that we have good builds and good management


with no backup FB, TE, SS and only one backup at G and DT. it looks nice on the matchup screens (which is also inflated by your kicker) but doesn't help in the games.

Having 3 total S's, 3 total DT's is plenty fine.

And our TE has been playing just fine as the only TE on the team

He's my personal TE, and I make sure his build is such that a 2nd TE wasn't exactly necessary. Sure, there's gaps on our team, but show me a team that doesn't have something exploitable...I think you're just mad your team wasn't #1 after this last round of games. You guys have had plenty of #1 rankings while in Africa AA3..I dont think you need to get your panties caught up in a bunch when someone new finally gets it.

Outside of Tripoli, we've been winning our games by a similar margin to what you guys have been winning. Iowa and UN are pretty even teams..UN has been sitting pretty still in Africa AA3 not making many moves, and I've gone out and made necessary moves to bring upgrades to the team where needed...dont be shocked that we can finally compete..it's what happens when you work hard for your team.

DEFENSE

Shannon Igans
Wachootoo CB
10 Tkl, 1 sack

Cb's getting sacks goes unnoticed. But what makes this 10 tackle performance special is the fact that both teams in this game really needed a win. This talented CB stepped up big when his team needed it.



CB gettin a sack? I call shananigans!

You like the phrase panties caught in a bunch, heh. Where's Vizzini when ya need him?

Until the unbeaten teams play each other the top spots do not mean much. D3 as much as admitted he put Iowa on top to try and shake up the board since it had been slow with all the cupcake games. If I were doing the power rankings Iowa and E'ci would not be 1 or 2 until one of us beats one of the preseason top teams. BBE and UN have gone farther into the playoffs than either of our teams, so they should get the nod until someone knocks them off.

To be the man ya got to beat the man.

That was last season. Teams get better you know. They can bring in new players. Were the Patriots supposed to be the #1 team in the AFC after Tom Brady went down?

Just checked and you guys are a 45 overall, just like UN, BBE, E'ci, MaRAWK!!o and I didn't check the rest of the teams but as you can see you're not rated any higher there.

No knock to Iowa, you guys are a very good team that beat us, but I have to say I worry much more about playing UN and BBE still. I'd rather play Iowa 4 times in a season than face UN and BBE the once each I have to.
