Originally posted by Chugga34 Lion is very interesting this year. I'm not going to lie I was surprised to see Seychelles fall so early in the playoffs last year, but this year I think with their two biggest threats gone they could possibly take the whole league.
By the way if I haven't mentioned already, spot on power rankings, well done.
I'll let you guys in on a little secret. While Sahara did a great job gameplanning, a lot of that loss falls squarely on the fact that I had no internet at home for the playoffs and no time at work to scout. So, with only the regular season finale to get used to our defense, BengalFish had to setup our Defense. So, someone who didn't have any experience other than the last regular season game with our defense, had to setup our playoff D. I found just enough time to setup our offense. I hated to put all of that on BengalFish, but what could I do when I didn't have internet. The bad thing is, I got internet setup at my house the very next day, so I could've taken the full load against Nairobi.
Now, I'm not trying to say BengalFish did a bad job, but rather, that's a lot to put on someone that is kinda coming in blind. The good thing is that Bengal is going to get more time to mess with both the offense and defense. That means I can focus more on gameplanning on one side of the ball or that other. All last season, I just had to do basic scouting because of all the tournament games, regular season games, and having to gameplan for both.
What I'm trying to say is, don't pay too much attention to our playoff loss, as I think we're going to be even tougher than before. I was ready to make some noise in the WL.

Well sounds good, Palmer, and you know I like your team...but to trust Bengalfish...A guy who lasted 1 season in the APL and then quit to go win lil trophys in the crap leagues...Well I blame you. Vegas

You obviously don't know BengalFish and again, I'm not blaming him. Probably wouldn't have had many people that could have stepped in on such short notice and provide the support he gave us.
BTW, Bengal was here more than 1 season. He was here 2 seasons. Honestly, he and his team decided that they didn't want to stick around in APL just trying to fight to not get relegated. Rather, he wants to rebuild and move back up to APL and win this league. I respect that. Why settle for mediocrity? I know Seychelles doesn't want to settle for anything. We want to win every game, and not just win, but win convincingly. We try to improve every season.
Don't attack Bengal, as this isn't about him or his ability to fill in. It's about the fact that after running both sides of the ball all season, we hit the playoffs without me being able to run the team like normal. Asking anyone to have to come in and run the defense starting with Game 16 is unfiar. The problem is, it was either ask BengalFish or go without a defensive gameplan.
I understand where Vegas is coming from (to a certain degree), I really tried hard to keep APL members here... But, it was "been there done that". The great APL will prevail...
Good grief touchy ass people on this forum. Simply make a remark about a freaking avatar and people get all bent.
wat?
Don't let the hate the she brings to the forums cloud your thinking. You said the Titans would win twice, and I joked about counting a preseason game. Hence the smiley face.
And I have yet to have a complaint about Chugga's avatar choices.
Slimming down may be the best thing that happens to the Titans this season. He'll be completely ineffective without the extra weight and you can just give the ball to Chris Johnson every single play.

I wouldn't say anything bad about Bengalfish for that, we took that decision as a team, pretty much everyone was in for it. If you look at the team now you will see the same agents as the pro team (a few new). When we left we made it quite clear that we wouldn't settle for being a team struggling to stay alive/make the playoffs as we would have been if we stayed in the pros, and KNR is pretty much a single unit. so we had no interest in chopping the team up and starting to replace "family members" to stay competetive, that's why we decided to do a collective reboot.
