Please no more swearing and attacks in this forum thread, I don't want to have to lock it up.

thank you for you interest but i believe it is misplaced.


This wasn't what was stated in your original post, and teams could always look at past games to scout your tactics. I understand what you are saying here, but I think that you also understand why other teams were upset with your post.

i do understand why they got upset but there is no reason to react in that fashion. there is also nothing unsportsmanlike about it at all whatsoever. what i posted in my original post should have been plenty. we're all sports fans here. we all understand that teams will do this from time to time and they do not get called out on sportscenter for it.

There is a difference between putting in the scrubs and running a vanilla plan and just throwing a game completely

this is just backpedaling. it's not like your tactics have been diverse- you could have just left in the same tactics you've had all along. instead you threw the game. and then you're pretending it's some strategic move- when really you ANNOUNCED you're throwing the game.

you threw the game. way to go.

what's the real loss here, you exit in the first round instead of the 2nd? is that worth all of this negative energy spent on nasty forum posts and pms?


Actually it started with a reasonable and respectful post and PM:

I wouldn't call these nasty attacks first of all, and it would have taken less time to just leave the gameplan in from your previous game if you were so pressed for time. Maybe you were just scared you were gonna have to drink the Punch in the 2nd round so found away to avoid us.
Most likely this is the case.

I accept the fact you threw the game. Shows your real character. I'd rather play a solid team like Canton and make it a good contest than play against an intimidated team owner that plays the system instead of the game.

that last one made zero sense to be perfectly honest. my point remains valid. did anyone trash the eagles for resting their players and running james harrison all game vs. the cowboys? trust me, every eagles fan ever born wants the beat the cowboys every game we play them but none of us complained when the eagles front office made their decision. it was theirs to make.

suck it up and win in the playoffs. good luck guyana.

what do you mean? we ran a vanilla gameplan...that's what basic tactics are. you have no argument here. if we had played people out of position or made any other adjustments at all whatsoever, you might have a point, but we didn't. we ran vanilla tactics. that's all we did.

suck it up and win in the playoffs. good luck guyana
