There is a good reason for Auckland beating Fiji, but I'm not going to whine on the forums about how I screwed up

Christchurch Fighting Maori - I'm not going to lie, this team scares me, I've never beat them and after dropping their first two games the Maori seem to be back on track.... The next twos weeks will paint us a picture since they face AnalBum and PFE back to back.... A strong showing against those two will have Christchurch defending home field advantage the rest of the season.....


Thanks for the props.

BTW - we're coming after you.

Respect and fear are 2 different entities......

The Maori have my respect, but I ain't skeered.

OK... Third Quarter review is in....

Molokai Lavastorm - Hit a speed-bump against the Gold Coast Vipers but there still #1 and deservedly so.... Lavastorm still has the #1 offense and so the road to the World League goes through Hawaii.... 4 tough games left will decide Molokai's fate......

N.M.I. Pagan Fire Eaters - This team had a small taste of 1st place this quarter but it was too much for them and they could not handle it.... They also have 4 tough games left.... If they take it 1 game at a time maybe they can keep hold of the #2 seed.....

An alBum Cover - I have like this team all season and felt they put up they best fight and now they are showing they have what it takes to host a playoff game in the Pros.... Solid on both sides of the ball... they almost get to chose whether they want to be the #3 or #4 seed since they still play Bohica.... Chose wisely!

Bay City Bohica - Thy have they easiest schedule remaining of any team talked about so far and appear to be in th drivers seat for the #3 seed if they can take care of business when they face An alBum Cover.... Plus with the number 2 passing attack their game with PFE should be something for the ages.....

Ester Island Head Hunters - Is this team good enough to sneak into home field advantage?... Yes!... but with Bikini Island coming on strong the Head Hunters will have to really Bring It! in order to do so..... but even if they stay at #5 they still have the talent to pull off the upset... I just don't know if they have the Front Office to make it happen....

Nottingham Hoods - I know this team has what it takes to win out the last 4 games but I wouldn't bet on it.... I think they'll drop one nobody expects.... maybe against the Maori or Bulldogs.... The Hoods have not put up very impressive stats but they didn't do that when they won it all in Season 10 either.... Watch out for the Hoods!!!!

Christchurch Fighting Maori - I thought this team would be hosting a playoff game or two and I guess its not without of the realm of possibility.... however if the Maori want to make some noise in the playoffs they need to shore up their defense.... 22nd is just not going to cut it!.... Even if they win out, without a better defensive plan they are just going to be fodder for a better team....

Gold Coast Vipers - You should call this team the Comeback Kids.... starting the season 1-4 I had them totally written off.... But with 3 impressive victories in the last 3 weeks the Vipers are not only in the playoff race, they are one of the scariest teams in Alpha right now if they beat PFE today then they could do a lot of damage come weeks 17-20....

Micronesia Megalodons - I thought this team was playoffs bound and its still possible however they have the toughest schedule remaining of any bubble team maybe if they can win 3 of the 4 they'll be in... but if they get in without a significant running game they won't advance into the 2nd round......

Bikini Island Atomic Surfers - I think this team has turned the corner.... its too late for Season 12 but if they finish strong in the last 4 games I think next season everyone will be spending extra time game planning against these radioactive wave riders.....

Auckland Old Gold & All Blacks - Oh how the mighty have fallen.... Auckland has just been plain mediocre this season... sure they might get to 8-8 but that just plain sucks for them..... they need a Front Office infusion bad.....

Fiji Ventures - I think if Fiji played PFE 16 times in a season they would be 12-4... I don't know why they can get up for the big games and just lay an egg against teams they should beat.... I don't think they know why either... maybe its their 24th ranked offense?!?!?

Taylor Bulldogs - This team had the best RB I have ever seen, Tony Carreno, 2 time MVP reduced to the 22nd Rushing attack in the league .... The Bulldogs need more help in the Front Office. You can't have a 1 man Front Office in the Pros and this fact has stretched Daw1git beyond his limits... if this tam is going to be a factor next season they need to bring in some new Coaches.....'

Raving Mad Dogs - Not a great rookie season.... I'm not sure weather you guys need better coaches or better players so you might as well get both.... Good Luck in Season 13.....

German Wildogs and Hawaii Muskrats good luck in AAA

***Friendly Gunner Reminder***

Any team that may consider folding due to time/energy constraints, the Gunners could always use you inside our ranks. No matter what season it is or the talent arrayed against us, we've never had a sub-10 win season and would like to continue that tradition going into the following seasons. We're a team on the march and the team has a coherent and simple vision that is already laid out to season 22 and we're already adding more seasons to the plan.

nice writeup but you got the Head Hunters totally backwards,the front office is the only thing holding this team together right now...................Never knew a long winning streak would bring total complacency but it happened.

yeah.... its kinda hard to tell why a tam is performing they way they are.... so looking at your 23rd overall offense and your 20th overall defense... plus the fact that Cut N Slash is an MVP candidate I just went with the coaching as the problem.....

But I guess it could be talent instead...

5th seed in the playoffs your rookie year would be very impressive nevertheless.... my team did not make the playoffs our rookie year...

We changed the gameplan and have played very conservative since the losing streak we had.It seems to be working well so far.Your teams whooping of us was the turning point.We didnt have the talent it seemed to hang with the big guys so we started to try and play keep away.Cut is a different matter-Beast of a RB that no one has heard of.

Thanks again fer the right up.


In regards to the defense - not much is gonna change with our unit.

We made the 4th seed in our first season and got bounced out in the first round.

Beginning of the season we made a front office decision to transition to younger dots on both sides of the ball with the understanding that we've have peaks and valleys against some of the old farts in the league during the regular season.

We're looking to hang around a little longer in the playoffs regardless of seating.
