Works for me...I just think my team has played a stretch of football this season that is way out of character. I feel like we're more up to Djibouti's level of quality when it comes to a team, and I see what they did to you earlier this year. They've had a tough streak too, but it shows the potential of both Iowa and Djibouti when all cylinders are firing. Unfortunately against you guys, our cylinders weren't all going when we played you guys.

My guess is that chemistry may have played a role in the game, maybe not so much from what you guys were able to do, but from what we failed to do when we went into the game with the lowest chem we've had all season. We're now back up to approx. where we were earlier in the season, so I'm excited for a rematch and see if the boost we get from increased chem is enough to convert our chances we get.


While we appreciate your offer, as a team we have decided to respectfully decline. We are in the thick of a playoff race and want to focus all of our attention on the task ahead of us. I'm sure we will see you guys again next season and look forward to another competitive game.

That one turnover was on your 10 yard line with less than 30 seconds to go in the game, I think it was a factor.

Way too many missed opportunities on our offense, you didn't win that game. We LOST that game. We controlled that game and our own destiny in it, and we blew it. That's why I say 7 out of 10 we win, we manhandled the game when we needed too, we just didn't convert the points out of it.

Say what you want about the 4th quarter yardage, but you gotta realize that was taken into account when making the game plan, we knew how to beat you guys. We have one of the best offensive game planners I think you can find (with a proven AI tactics set to back up that claim), and while my defensive game planning isn't perfect, it's enough to get the job done. As I said before, we just didn't put up the points when we needed to, we lost that game. You may have one more "W" to your record now from it, but it wasn't because of what you guys did, it was because of what we failed to do.


Listen hear man, this is how close the teams are. Oh and I am the OC for the Terror and I guarantee as you (GBPackFD25) read this, you will see who is the better team. So grab your pencil and paper and be prepared to be schooled!


Tripoli Terror Offense:

547 rushes, 39.1 rushes/game, 2891 rushing yds, 5.3 yds/rush, 206.5 yds/game, 35 TD, 15 fumbles

242/426 passing, 56.8% comp rate, 30.4 passes/game, 2314 passing yds, 165.3 yds/game, 5.4 yds/att, 9.6 yds/comp, 14 TD, 15 INT, 15 hurries, 9 sacks

Special Teams:

71 KR, 2037 KR yds, 28.7 yds/return, 1 TD, 45 PR, 593 PR yds, 13.2 yds/PR, 1 TD

Total Offense:

444 Pancakes, 52 Total TDs, 1145 Offense Plays, 81.8 plays/game, 419 points scored, 29.9 points/game, 7835 Total offensive yards


Iowa Fortress Offense:

473 rushes, 33.8 rushes/game, 2130 rushing yds, 4.5 yds/rush, 152.1 yds/game, 22 TD, 22 fumbles

326/563 passing, 59.7% comp rate, 40.2 passes/game, 3303 passing yds, 235.9 yds/game, 5.9 yds/att, 9.8 yds/comp, 18 TD, 15 INT, 22 hurries, 11 sacks

Special Teams:

65 KR, 1723.5 KR yds, 26.5 yds/return, 1 TD, 58 PR, 613.5 PR yds, 10.6 yds/PR, 0 TD

Total Offense:

395 Pancakes, 42 Total TDs, 1123 Offense Plays, 87.4 plays/game, 356 points scored, 25.4 points/game, 7770 Total Offensive yards



So if you ever took the freakin time to look at the stats, you can see that both teams are equal!! However, the Tripoli Terror has scored more points offensively then your team. You know something, if I am corrected, and which I think that I am.. if you score more points then the other team... then you win the game... :o Oh my gosh look at that we scored more points then you did!!

So before you start crying and holding your pillow at night because you lost a game look at the big picture!! We won... you lost... that simple

All I see are excuses for not simply taking up an offer for a rematch you know you'll lose.

Your owner himself admitted that things swung to your guys' favor in the last game in a PM he sent to me.

Marcus doesn't even have a player over level 20, so anything he attempts to say related to GLB and attempting to prove me wrong is just being disregarded, get real dude. Take a look at the game and its replay, say what you want about season stats this and season stats that...if you seriously take an objective look at our game, you'll see you guys were damn lucky Iowa didn't live up to its potential against you guys.

Lmao, and another thing Marcus...you might wanna check offensive stats from OUR game we played. Like I said, we missed opportunities but utterly dismantled you otherwise, it's unfortunate we couldn't convert on opportunities and fumbled a sure TD drive with less than 30 seconds left on your 10 yard line.

You won and we lost it's that simple? Be the big man and accept our rematch offer then. Until then you simply aren't backing up your talk, and it's worthless.

And if you're in the middle of a playoff hunt, that's fine. We'll play it after the season is over.

i think you should both consider yourselves lucky that you got cairo after everyone got traded off. every other playoff contender, including gambia and djibouti who will probably be the odd teams out, had to face them when they were still a real team.

That is what you were told in the forum early, we will see you guys next season. And dude, you are freakin out over a game that isnt even real! You my friend, need a life.

As for not having a player over level 20. How does that affect what I know about the game or how I play the game??? That is like saying a quarterback doesnt know anything on how to be a linebacker. You are the one making excuses because you arent getting your way! If you want to get babied man... you need some help... And I will not offer any. AND if Iowa didnt live up to its full 'potential' then why is your team 7-7 and not better... Why arent you guys 10-2?? Why are you on the outside looking in?? Are you going to say that you should have one every game cuz your team is better? You dont have to be a badass team to win? Look at the Giants, the Patriots when they beat the Rams, or the Marlins beating the Yankees. Teams lose man. You cant win them all. Your team is not best team in this game. I guarantee you that next season we will beat you. And before you start to complain about it, NO and I say again, NO we will not play you before then. Go cry to Bort if it is such a big deal to you!

Wow. Who the hell does this jackass think he is?

I understand your team lost, and it must be painful for you, but there is no need for you to lash out at everyone and demand a rematch. If a real coach did such a thing, he'd be a laughingstock, as you have now become.

We beat your team. We don't owe you a scrimmage rematch, you tool. Maybe you should have beaten us in the regular season game. You weren't able to do it. Deal with it.

If I were you I would get ready for next season, because you aren't making the playoffs this year. Good teams don't miss opportunities, and they convert when they must. Your team had chances but you did not finish the drives. Maybe you should train Blaine's carrying and make the other adjustments necessary to get the victory next season. As for this season, you had your chance. Unbelievable.

We did luck out playing a gutted Cairo team but thats just the way it goes. We've won the games that we've needed to and now we are in the driver seat to make the playoffs. We have no delusions of grandeur, we were a bottom feeder team last year and we've had to scratch and claw our way to make it this far. We know when it comes to the middle of this league pretty much any team can beat any other team and we don't act like any win is owed to us. I will take a win and a playoff spot over pride anyday.

I am not going to scrimmage a division team. Period. Why would I give someone a free chance to test tactics against us. Like Cannon said, we know we are a middle tier team in this league and we are all damn proud of that right now. We have came a long ways. I know it really upsets you that you lost to a team that you feel is less than yours. I am not going to get into a pissing contest though and let someone have a free look against my team. You can have a shot next year, and then come up with another list of excuses.

Lol, all I see now are excuses why you wont play us and get your asses handed to you like you know you would. You got lucky, you said that in the PM you sent me, and now you're running away with your tail between your legs.

A laughing stock is a team that can't back up their talk, I already stated if we play again and lose I'll gladly shut up and eat some humble pie. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that because I know we'd win a rematch. You guys could not have been luckier to beat us in that game the way you did, and now your GMs went all loose-jawed on you and put you in a situation where you now cannot back up your talk. That's unfortunate, I'm far from the laughing stock in this matter. And Jeff Taylor thinks I'm a laughing stock? Oh man, I MIGHT sleep a little less at night. But then I remember how much sway Jeff Taylor holds, and yea..I wont lose any sleep.

Chances were missed this season and I'm gladly admit that, we had a streak there of 2-3 games where things got frustrating, I lost the will to game plan as hard as I had been and we really needed to bring in a new and fresh GM. We did that, and then lost that joke of a game to you guys. We have clawed our way from the bottom as well, having gone 3-13 last season, and this season set a goal for 8-8. We're about to reach that goal, if not surpass it, and I'm glad to have. Next season I fully expect a title run with the players it's been arranged to bring in. So enjoy your win now, especially if you wont back up your talk and play again (and it's not to "get a look at your AI", but nice EXCUSE), because next year you dont stand a chance. I have players coming in that are of Nickewitz's caliber, so good luck.

This comes down to a case of "put up or shut up". I'm done dealing with a circus show of GMs all banding together to do nothing but talk a bunch of trash but when push comes to shove wont back it up.

You act like we aren't in the playoff race, and dont have real game planning to do. The fact is we're 2 wins away, and another team's loss away from making the playoffs. We still have a lot to be playing for, and that's also why I offered to postpone our rivalry rematch until after the playoffs are over, but even that you can't accept.

So at this point, you guys are nothing but smoke and mirrors with no substance. So I'm done talking here, because the ball is in your court. Every issue we've ever spoken of on this thread can be solved by a simple rematch in our newly formed rivalry, but you guys wont do it..instead you use a bunch of excuses (such as you dont want a division team "testing tactics", if your GM proves right and we aren't a playoff team, what could we possibly use testing for? Especially with personnel moves in the offseason that changes the make-up and style of a team, testing tactics at this point against you guys is such a laughable excuse) that we could just as easily use (because we're in the hunt too) to avoid a rematch that as I've stated before, if you win, I'll shut up and eat my own words.

So at this point, I'm done with this topic and a laughable (at best) circus show of GMs who wont put up. So again, either put up or shut up. I've given you more than enough flexible options to be able to fit in a rematch, the ball is in your court again. This time instead of shooting off a bunch of excuses and bashful remarks, simply say you know you'd lose the rematch when you decline again.

I look forward to playing you guys next season.
