I think you forget... girls don't have to talk trash to try to cover up for their small penis. So, I really don't have any need or desire to talk trash. We really do not feel we are the best team in the Alpha division, we feel we are worthy of the playoffs, but there are teams like BHB, GCP, DET, ADD, KIV, COM who all, frankly, scare us. After watching Dnipropetrovsk lose a bunch of games in a row, including losing to us, we don't fear them so much any more. ATL is no longer scary after the beating we put on them. Wisla drained their team, so are no longer fear inspiring. The rest of the division are not playoff teams, although it is good to see them sticking together and fighting to improve themselves.

So we feel we could be the best, or the 7th best, team in the division. Can we really say we are that much better than COM, Kiev, ADD, DET, GCP, or BHB? No. We feel GCP really beat us...we got a lucky TD at the end of that game to make it close... otherwise we looked like crap. DET was a close game. ADD was 5 FG to 1 FG... we couldn't score a TD, which doesn't look great if we have to play them again. We haven't played BHB or COM yet. Kiev is the only team in that group that we feel we had a dominating type game against.

So, I'm not being facetious when I say I don't think we are as good as our record indicates. No joke. We feel we have something to prove EVERY GAME!


I agree 100% with you on the basis of ranking yourself. Prague is top four in the league. Without being egotistical, owner and talent wise which make up tactics and gametime decisions, I think BHB, Prague, Det, ADD and possibly GCP are up there. The other teams are significant threats, but it's all on those upper(and lower) teams to prove it and they usually do. Detroit had some issues this year that fall on me as an owner, in all honesty, we probably really "lost" two games. The others were me screwing up where I put the team in a bad spot to win. Now that I finally figured out tactics, they should roll as one big team. I hope.

Just look at the games between all of those listed teams. Most of them all are very close, but it gets worse as you go down the list.Even in this league there is certainly a tiered system but with teams steadily rising/falling until they completely slip off (ATL).

The Cheetahs are in the same boat. I don't even know where to rate my team right now. In the power rankings I sent you I believe we were third behind BHB and Prague. But that is simply based on game results and interpretations of tactics including recent games or coaching changes. Kiev slipped in my books with recent performances, GCP has slipped lately and ADD has lost to the top teams all three times they have played one. They look great at 9-3 but yet lost to BHB, Prague and the Express. We have had falling teams (Cheetahs at one point, Express now) and climbing teams (combat, ADD). No team, besides BHB or Prague in this conference can safely state their solid identity ranking wise compared to others. We all have lost games we shouldn't and probably won one as well

All in all, this is a highly competitive league where one play can have a large ripple across the league.

Yeah, I'm really not certain what order I would put our top 6 or 7 teams in at the moment. Though I will say that I was happy with our team's performance even in our 3 losses. As you said, they were the top 3 teams at the time, and the top 2 at the moment. However one thing that stats don't show you is that our team didn't boost at all until several weeks after playing those teams. Our defense was still able to keep us in those games, with our worst loss being 15-3, so I can't complain at all.

Since we figured out most of our tactics and finally decided to boost I think we have outscored our opponents something like 252-20 and gone on a respectable winning streak, which I'm also proud of our team for. Now, that does not in anyway mean we are going to win out the rest of the season, or that we will beat those teams we lost to earlier in the season should we meet them in the playoffs. But I do think that we should at the very least be much more competitive against those teams and have a much better chance of winning. But only time will tell.

Well Cherrie, I will say that your team is deserving of your record. I'm worried alot about this next game, but do think we have the advantage on you guys. We'll see though, obviously you know how to gameplan. It isn't ALL luck to get to 12-1. Look forward to this matchup. Good luck!

What owner watches film? Seriously. I can honestly say I have not watched any Lowell gametape yet and have most of my tactics set. Last game was a shutout with near 500 yards so I guess they are doing something right

That's what GMs/co-ords are for

Using Caps excuses CW should be undefeated...maybe 1 loss since our owner has just figured out tactics a few games ago.

I'm tired of being "baited" into explaining myself. Everyone knows that wasn't an excuse on my part. We got beat by a better prepared team. I just said that in my opinion, we actually only got out PLAYED in one or two games. There is a difference.

Tactics are a huge part of game results opposed to team levels being superior or inferior. But, heh.

It was a joke dude, see how words in print does not convey the true meaning....but our owner has just started to figure out what our offense does best!

Right. I don't mind losing. But when it happens due to a possible Coaching mistake opposed to my players making the mistake(s), I'll admit such.

How does a Prague vs. Barger Hill post end up with Capone defending himself, again? Let's take this post back to what it supposed to be, and thats not smashing Capone (as much as I'd love to join you all ).

May the best man win tomorrow Cherrie, I guess that eliminates one of us . Haha, couldn't resist...

haha, Slayton. You wouldn't know what that's like anyway



Good luck to Prague/BHB, I have no real stake in this game besides BHB winning to make us look better

Huge game and I cannot wait for this to go down. I am really looking forward to seeing how our D does against the potent rushing attack of BHB. Good luck Barger, not too much though as I fully expect for Prague to come out of this with the "W" .

If we win, that wouldn't look to good on your resume...

- In a best man wins competition, I lost to a girl.

Now that's funny.

It will be a good game, I hope. I've worried several times about getting blown out, and this game is no exception. I won't mind losing, as long as it is close
