Stockholm must be really annoying to play. When we're on we can beat anybody, when we're off boy do we lay an egg. Unfortunately, we've been more off than on lately. Good luck BP.

GG guys - I'm not sure what the hell happened there - we were set up to run all day against you, and for some reason i can't figure we didn't stop passing all day. Especially annoying as both our RBs averaged over 6 yards a carry :/

Good game Oslo! I will admit that I was ready to shoot our OC when I saw what he wanted to do! Lukily for us the gamble payed off!

Newcastle by 38 over Coventry - we should be so lucky.

Nothing wrong with a little luck. Definitely the upset of the week!!

Newcastle upset by Coventry - Even I would not have predicted that one Guess we were bound to live up to our scouting bar sooner or later. Good game guys - real tough loss for them and the best game Coventry has ever played.

Meh, the computer just ignored our gameplan full stop.

Good game Stockholm and good luck for the rest of the season.

Thanks BP--We really needed that one. You guys are 6-2 now. That just brought us back to .500. Maybe the computer Gods reallized that.

Nice idea Whitechapel... your running game wasn't dominant, but 3-4 yards per carry every time and going for it on 4th and short will work pretty often if you catch the defense off guard.

Unfortunately, that's also why this game will never be that great for game planning - if we were able to adjust to your game plan, you'd have gotten destroyed (well... can't speak for our offense, but you'd have been down to 2 YPC instead of 4). As it stands, well played.


If you could adjust, I would assume we could as well, so to say you would have destroyed us, well........it is what it is right? Don't you think I accounted for that before setting this gameplan up, if there were in-game adjustments, obviously we wouldn't have done it this way. Nevertheless, the gamble worked, and we here are happy about that

You guys purposefully do this sort of thing, don't you? Just to fuck with the rest of us?

I'm not saying that it was a bad idea... just that it was a lame idea, shows nothing about who's better (except that you seemed to think that we were, so you couldn't pull out an honest win), just who can abuse the system more. Maybe soon, we'll have everybody running all or nothing offenses to try to abuse the system, then this game will really reach its potential.

Though to our defense's credit, holding you guys to 4 yards per carry with our passing defense against your running game every play is pretty respectable. It's just hard to do less than the 4 yards on a carry when you have 5 guys in the box, so there were a lot of 4 yard carries .

I'll get in the conversation here, since this strategy has been used against us (Dublin) too, including in the playoffs. In a way it is a compliment that teams feel like they have to use a gimmick to beat you. On the other hand it is frustrating since if you don't know it's coming it's impossible to set up your defense to combat it, unless your base defense is normally very strong against the run. When we were beat by it I have to say we were beaten fair and square though, as theoretically we could use the same strategy. Unless you use the default AI and turn on the auto-adjust there is no way to make in-game corrections, and few good teams would do that.

Eventually there will be a fix for it but until then it's one of those annoying aspects of GLB.

Yea, problem is we've got every tough team to come in our games to come - we really needed a W in this game :/

I wouldn't mind if we'd just been beaten with the gameplan, but had it actually done what it was supposed to, we'd have been doing well, as happened at the beginning, then the CPU just threw the gameplan out the window.

I will say this, I am not going to get into a pissing contest on which team is better and that we couldn't play an honest game....blah....blah. I personally thought I would try a different stategy, which is what coaches need to do to keep a team off balance, did it work....obviously, we won. Excuses are no good to me, so I am not hearing them. You have the same opportunity to run whichever Offense you see fit, I chose this one for our game....and it worked.


Another thing, I was taught. My college Offensive coordinator would always say...."If you can average 3.4 yards per carry, we can't lose" "3.4 + 3.4 + 3.4 = First Down, all we ask is 3.4 yards per carry" We went well over that mark today, so I guess in theory he was right .

GG Dallas, that was very...... definitive - we were simply overpowered
