No one bragged. BBG just posted a link and said we played well.
That's bragging to you?


Seem a little touchy.

1. Like Chetro said, no intention of bragging. If anything, I was bragging for our conference. We went 14-2 during Week 1, and then in a scrimmage between two teams with good shots at making it to the championship, we raked. It's entirely possible that we'll drop the friendly to R-Cubed. Who knows at this point?
2. It's not like we were strategizing for the scrimmage either.

(And I'm not gonna go into any more details than that. Loose lips sink ships.)

EDIT: Knew I remembered something like this. Taken from Page 1...

So you schedule scrimmages against Elephant teams to get serious work in, then you take it easy during said scrimmages in order to conceal your hand for the playoffs?

I don't get your approach.

How can I not take that comment as a brag. Not only are you advertising a friendly victory, you claiming superiority over 16 teams.

Throw in all the jackass post by cowboy24 , a representative of your team, you all sound like a bunch of arrogant bastards. I have no problem with a team bragging. On my OPL team, we act like a bunch of jackasses on the forum just to have fun, but brag about the right things.

My approach was to get my new OC some serious scrimmages so he could work on his OAI. He advised after our first game he didn't need it, hence why we went back to basic settings so as not to give anything away. I made this point a few hours ago. Why is that so unclear?

Only for those uncomfortable about a friendly debate or to slow to keep up.

Must've misunderstood you. I was under the impression, after reading that a while back, that you were scheduling those scrimmages to see how you guys compared to the cream of the Elephant conference--which isn't a half bad idea seeing as how the Lion conference is very top-heavy this year. At the time I posted the results and declared superiority of the Elephant Conference, I was under the assumption, as I'm sure most everyone was, that this was still the case.

Shit happens, methinks.

While I would generally agree with your assessment of somebody bragging about their lolstats I usually wait until they play one of the top rated teams and then make an assessment. To so boldly proclaim his HB as suck because of lolbars is laughable.


I proclaimed him the suck for performance. not lolbars ...lol. why wait for a good matchup ??? he cant handle the easy one (zurich)

You've played a team that has lost every game by 100+ points, a team that has lost two games by 50+ points, and one good team. Against the lone good team, you had 8 rushes for 19 yards and a fumble. I know you had nice receiving stats that game, but you were talking about rushing with Barber, so for the sake of parallelism we'll talk about it here.
Even against the team that has lost two games by 50+ points, you only put up 2.9 YPC.
208 of your yards and 5 of your 6 TDs also came against a team that is CPU. Also had the bulk of your receiving yards and all your receiving TDs in that CPU beatdown.


Not trying to call you out, and I'm not saying you don't have a good player, but I don't get what you're bragging about?

Oh and edit to add: Saying they're the 22nd worst team against the rush means absolutely nothing. Only two games have been played so far, and in one of those two games they got absolutely RAPED by Suez's RBs. Of course they're not going to appear to have a strong rush D when they've only played one other game. You can't fault Barber for running well against a team with a bad rush defense when said defense is bad BECAUSE of Barber. Just doesn't make sense.


With 2 edits I figured you would have made even a lil bit of sense apparently not. I used that 37 HB as a general comparison of "lolbars" not a true apples to apples comparison. He is a receiving HB first and foremost and an experiment at that, that is still being slow built ( still has 41 points to spend ). His HB is the suck based on his own performances, not comparisons. You will see after their next game. btw, you are wrong . Zurichs rush D blows. I dont need to see anymore games to see that .

You talked about RUSHING bars, then that you have better stats.

P.S. a 55 HB with a 57 rushing rating is the suck lol. My 37 has a 60 rating and better stats against much closer competition.

That is not a comparison of purely lolbars, that's a comparison of lolbars and how they translate into something meaningful. You said a level 55 with 57 rushing rating is the suck. You didn't say Barber sucked because of how he played, you pointed out his rushing rating and said he sucks, then pointed out your own, 3 points higher, and your "good" stats.
If you were trying to say anything other than lolbars matter, you completely fucked up.

Based on his own performances, Barber is good. Based on your RBs performances, he is not good tbh. At least not at rushing, which, once again, was what you originally brought up when YOU COMPARED Barber to your RB.

It's also completely irrational to call out Barber for getting his stats against a CPU team, point out your own back that has played "closer competition" and then rebuke my post when I say you've played shit teams.

And regardless of whether or not Zurich's run D sucks, you pointed out them being ranked 22 in your previous post. That is completely irrational seeing as at that time, regardless of if they were actually good or not, they only had two games to go off of and one was against Barber, a back that made them rank so low in run D.

BTW, you can't say you weren't comparing them and you're drawing conclusions off of their own performances when you say
P.S. a 55 HB with a 57 rushing rating is the suck lol. My 37 has a 60 rating and better stats against much closer competition.

Closer is a comparison word, and you were comparing your RB's opponents with Barber's. Now you're trying to backtrack and say you weren't comparing.

Your logic = illogical.
Epic fail.

How cocky are you feeling about this one. I know the offense is going to be taking it serious, and Tex takes everything involving defense serious. Don't want to hear any excuses after this game.

There is no excuses, even if we lose. Why do you assume we'd be making excuses? Our team isn't cocky. We're good, and so are some other teams. We're not anything the world hasn't seen before.

I don't understand the vendetta you and your team seem to have against us.

Personally, I just want to enjoy some dotball
