All the others were competitive enough that the real strategies behind GLB came out. Player to player matchups, defensive trends, offensive trends, the whole nine yards. Our one regular season loss sucked, but I don't begrudge it. We sold out for a certain formation and the other team didn't run it that much. Dem's da breaks.
I might be crazy, but this game is more fun that way. The chance to win is more important than the winning itself. I don't mind going 0-16 if we had a chance to win all those games and just came up short. With the league as it is now, we have no chance against several teams and that number will most likely only increase as other teams do more no-cap recruiting. What's the point, twiddle my thumbs for 50 days and wait? I'd rather be gameplanning.
Meh. Maybe I'm just weird.
Completely agree. Only our two games vs Athens and then the game against the Wrath did we do any real scouting and game planning. And those were easily the 3 most enjoyable games, mostly because we had no idea if we would win. I would gladly drop the lvl35 DE and lvl25 WR we just signed if it meant the reshuffle would provide us with parity. I just am very skeptical that it will work like that.

We used ours to test formations and plays mostly.
