Marblehead 8-4...1-3 to finish 9-7
HHW 7-5...4-0 to finish 11-5
Prov7-5.. 3-1 to finish 10-6
Bonn 6-6...1-3 to finish 7-9
Mayan 6-6..1-3 to finish 7-9
Buffalo 6-6 ..2-2 to finish 8-8
Monmouth 5-7..4-0 to finish 9-7


Just the way I see it..






i like any scenario in which Bonn stays out of the playoffs...

I'm happy none of the teams (saved edinburgh that gutted preseason) gutted midseason after realizing they weren't gonna make the playoffs or that they didn't have the stuff this season. Even belfast is still trying out there and all the other teams seem to be making some kind of effort. Nice to see after the first two WL seasons i saw teams slowly start to gut or bring up slowbuilds towards the end

bye Bonn....you shouldn't have traded me away...

I'd be pretty surprised to see HHW go 4-0. It certainly should be an interesting race to the finish. Pretty glad to not be a part of it this season.

Its gonna be a real mess that's for sure!

HHW - With Cinci and Krungthep still left and they hold tiebreakers over Providence, Buffalo and Mayan. Beat one of Marblehead and Bonn and their in like flinn. Drop one and their still likely in with very little help.

Providence - Wtih Answer and Krungthep still left their road is as tough as HHW. One other win and they are in. They hold the tieabreaks with MEM, Buffalo and Mayan to boot.

Bonn - Korb is the only "easy" game left, with slightly uphill tilts against Providence and HHW, they need three wins and some help. Two probably won't do it, unless it's over Prov or HHW have a meltdown. Win tiebreakers with Mayan, Buffalo and lose with MEM, Marblehead.

Mayan - games with MoD, Lin, Dakar leave no room for errror. They need an upset and lots of help. Could be a spoiler for Buffalo if they win that game. Wins tiebreaker with MEM, loses with everyone else.

Buffalo - One likely loss, one likely win and two tossups with Mayan and Marblehead. Win three and they are likely in, lose more than once and they are on the outside looking in. Nightmare scenario has them upsetting Sparta and dropping to Mayan or Marblehead and losing the head to head tiebreaker!

Marblehead - Just need one more win, but with Providence, HHW, MoD and Buffalo, it's not a sure thing. Obviously, three games that are a push and they only need one. Own the tiebreak against Mayan and Bonn, lose to MEM.

MEM - Four games they should win. Dropping one will be the end of the WL for them. Win all four and they may still need help. They have the tiebreaker against HHW, Marblehead and Bonn. Lose it vs Buffalo, Providence and Mayan.

Sparta - They aren't home free. Buffalo, Lincoln and Dakar could upset their apple cart! If they go 1-3 they lose the tiebreak against Providence, HHW and Buffalo if they drop that game. Win tiebreaker vs MEM, Bon, Marble and Mayan. No one has an easy road!

I must admit, it's a heck of a race for the playoffs. Even the #4 seed isn't safe and even the #11 has a very real shot of making the playoffs!

That being said there is something to those rankings, and all the discussion that was to be had, now we all know who the top 7 teams, are and nobody but these 7 even have a shot, so everyone keeps quiet and these forums are essentially dead.



Begone peon.

I think you are overestimating the quality of the teams in the lower half of WL. I would be very surprised if more than 2 of the 16 that demote finish at the top of their Pro conference next season. Hardly "rape"

Also, you don't have enough R2P. Please cease and desist posting here until you have acquired more, unless of course you're here to sell more teams your services as a coordinator. What's the going rate on Ebay at the moment?

Looking around at some of the pro regions, it really wouldn't be a stretch for most of the teams to get a home playoff game the following year in pro. Not to mention that the sim will slightly change for season 14 again.

Outside of the top 7-8 from WL i don't really see many teams differentiating themselves. Even SOFPM who has been dominant this season got their asses handed to them by Cocoblaze. There are a few solid pro teams and then a handful of WL teams who will make the playoffs that are still good but nothing to write home about. Even USA which was always deep only has 3-4 truly good teams this season. Most all the regions have 2-3 solid teams though in their pro ranks though

blah read it wrong.

And two of the solid teams from each pro region will be promoted to the WL, leaving very little resistance for teams relegated from the WL.

I'm really happy for MEM and their exploit blitzes

Deathblade said it was only an exploit if blitzers <= blockers. I took his word for it since he is the moral police in this game. Most aren't exploit blitzes....although other teams are certainly exploit blitzing with just the FS through the LG and LT gap. I at least send a blitzer on the other side too to even up the matchup, just to be a nice guy.

I might go with the 3 man rush zone defenses next season to stop the run after a 1-3 yard gain, eliminating the impact of short yardage monster. http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=979790&pbp_id=14342375 Seems to be a more effective strategy in dotball tbh and the way the moral police would like defensive dotball to be played (even though it seems "exploitish" to me that a 3 man quarter defense would be good at stopping the run, but whatever).....would really help Bort too, since the shitty blocking code can handle a 3 man rush reasonably well.

The amount of butthurt in this post is off the charts.

And your R2P just went down by 10 points

are we allowed to have negative R2P

what got your panties in a bunch today? I'm following your rules.

not sure what r2p is either....I'm guessing it means right 2 post? Don't worry, I just made my every couple of week cameo in the WL forums. I won't bring the coolness factor down any further today.

Good luck in the home stretch everyone. Sorry about the exploit blitzes as well.

Agreed with all of this, jdros. I've thought about going with the all-zone quarter defense several times, but my "morals" actually have led me to keep trying to win in this game with a legitimate (in terms of real football) defensive approach. Oh well
