Warrior General Games

Offense gets the chicks.

Defense is what wins Championships.

I'll wait until after Week 4, then re-rank the East.

I just disagree with knocking the Maulers for our game. Looking at our scrimmage (where I had the new segments of my AI being tested) against the game should indicate that maybe we just stepped up on defense. Our woes on offense are directly attributable to their amazing DEs. Both defenses came ready to play.

I don't understand the use of the word "instead" when saying we were close enough to be competitive and instead combined for xxx yards. Low scoring = not competitive?

/sigh. Offense does sell tickets, that's the saying, anyway. This is no different than the BCS mentality as well.

Thanks for responding, though. And I promise, my feelings are not hurt and I don't think you're an idiot. Just talking dotball.

Cheers to you as well. Thanks for giving us something to talk about.

You never did explain the joke, though.




In RL football low scoring and yard totals would not indicate poor competition. However, here in GLB it does.


Take the CPU Cows team.

They played the Roughriders and were a 12 point team rating dog. The Cows managed a better yards per play average than the Maulers did. Nearly double yards per pass and just 50 fewer total yards of offense.

The Cows lost 118-7.
GLB is made for offense.

I don't take pre-season in to account, as I also use that time to BS gameplans. However just for kicks. If the Maulers were to replay the game they had with College last game, it would take them 2.7 games to equal the yard total they had in the preseason.

Look, I am not passing judgment on the leadership, agents, players or builds of either team. I am just writing a silly rankings post based on what I see on my LCD. Numbers. Unfortunately for both teams those numbers were bad. Very bad.


Joke: Was alluding the assertion that the Maulers must have played so badly as to have not actually even gained (or earned) that sum of yards. Hey, no one said a joke had to be a good joke.

Anyways, its just for fun, however completely and utterly not fun atm.

Cheers!

I don't care if you call them the 6th Grade Plan and say that the only thing the Maulers mauled that game was their reputation. I just don't get your original joke.

Lol. I'll just leave this thread with a difference in opinion. The Cows argument was pretty weak(imo. One pass play for 50 yards with MJ "coasting" favoring backups and blown coverage for >1/3 of their yards doesn't prove anything to me), but there's still tons of dotball to actually be played on the digital gridiron. We'll just see how it pans out.

Keep up the good work with the rankings.

This was fun to read. I'd really appreciate it if you could keep doing these.

Great job with these man. And keep them coming.

I like this, and not just because we are rated 2nd. I don't go through and look at all the games, and these couple sets of rankings helps me figure out who is good and who isn't.

Thanks for them.

well I love the rankings AND the goofy jokes even if they are at our expense (which they will be after
Manitoba shreds us)

crockerrh and Wooden Bender give us a PAIR of ranking systems. how many
conferences can say that???

I do love the pair, Dimmy. It is nice to have different 'slices' (not to mention different reading material). This league is so new that it is hard to get any established sense of order between the teams. Even familiar faces have made changes and you end up not so sure about a team anymore.

Yeah it is going to be a long, long season for Arroz

Not sure why this is. You guys have the levels and depth to play with anyone....

haha did you not see that game? ouch...

I think once your chemistry comes up yo guys will be a force.

The FMMP are ready to play and not going embarrass ourselves again. We won't be making any dumb mistakes this game, so hopefully, for the Cards sake, they brought their A game. If they are notching up a win already they're in for a surprise. Don't know if we will win, but we won't be getting our "butt beat".

WOW, Fish had it set to auto pilot and bounced to 7th place...Thanx Riots it works!
