I know most of you don't care. However, I just got home from work. I'm so confused on how we could lose so bad (7-31) to a team that didn't look too much stronger then us. We have done stuff this season we have never done before.

To go from a league that was considered to be one of the best bbb leagues and go 18-1 and come here and go 1-5, it's really hard to believe it. We should atleast be 3-3 because we aren't that bad of a team. We have tried what we did last season all year, pretty much, and have still failed miserably. Nothing is working for us. I know you guys say, well in this league if you don't watch your step teams will run all over you. But seriously, what are other teams doing that we aren't? Tips would be nice, lol. I know, you aren't in it to help us. However, it's starting to just get straight out heart breaking. To go from a team that was undefeated to a team that has only won 1 game so far this season, it's hard to believe. Now I wish we would have stayed in the BBB #5 league or gone to another A League because this league has a lot of talent as far as coaches go. We are in such a losing streak that I'm confused on what to do and to get my players to stick to the team next year, it's looking like it's going to be harder and harder to do.

I know teams have bad seasons and I've told my team that this is a learning season and everything. However, to lose like this by so much each game is starting to just get annoying. It's getting to the point where I don't even want to get on and coach anymore. I just boosted 5 of some of my teammates players this past week to help the team out. It didn't even help. I know the Taints where 5-0 and I wasn't expecting to win, however I was expecting it to be closer then that because we planned for that game. We switched up some things and still got rocked. I know teams aren't necessarily reading our tactics because we switch it up almost every game. We may favor passing however, it's getting out of hand. I think it could have something to do with our depth and us losing a few players the 1st of the season. I think we do need a little more depth. However, I don't think it's the source of the problem and I can't grab my hand around it.

It's embarrassing as well. Ye ye, laugh haha. But seriously it kind of is a little embarrassing. We lost right before the championship game in the BBB #5 league to a team that went 8-8 for the season, a wild card team. We told them, we didn't think they where ready that we where. However, now that we are in this A league, we are starting to look and wonder what we are doing wrong. It's very frustrating, very. At this point I don't know what to do. We will keep trying and try to keep our head up, but it's hard. We could lose the team because of 1 bad season, as far as our loyal players go. Now if they are loyal, they will stay. However, when Randy Moss was on a losing team did he want to be there? No. I just want to throw my hands up and say "WHAT THE FUCK?" and give up. But, I won't. We'll keep trying and I just hope we pull out of this shithole of a season we are in so far. I just can't believe it's going so badly so far.

We told the team that beat us that went 8-8 and actually won the championship, they wouldn't do well over us. They are 1-5 as well, however their games have been closer. Some of ours have been blowouts and it's getting to the point where we aren't looking like a strong team anymore, that's for sure. However, I know we have talent on our team. I just think we went into this league too fast and maybe should have stuck it out another year in the BBB #5 league. You learn from your mistakes I guess, right?

Now Baton Rouge Bayou Bengals are beating us as well as far as her team record goes. Our goal was to at least beat her team as far as a record goes...however it's not happening. I know it's our 1st year in this league and that's why we are trying to keep our head up...but it's hard man is it hard..btw nothing against u gg, haha, u rock! right? =)

I know most of your teams don't care, I have the most respect for you guys. There is some major talent in this league. I'm just posting to let you guys know how frustrated we are as a team. We are losing fans, players, and we are losing patience.

One word for me: Frustrated.

dude I feel the same...We were not 18-1 last season,but we did reach the playoffs. Now that my team is 0-6 it is extremely hard to get the guys on the team to stay together for next season..It really is FRUSTRATING

No. Don't be so quick to jump my shit this season. I remember some weird crap that happenned to the Pewnts with a lot of random drops and odd plays in that game that seemed not to make much sense. It was a knock of the mysterious nature I see in underdogs having much more of a chance last year in playoff games rather than if they were squared off in the regular season. Thats why I prefaced my statement with that it didn't strongly apply to this league. Yet I involved the Pewnts into the discussion because I know they had voiced some displeasure with sim behavior in the playoffs last year. Not taking anything away from Hammond, yo.

More my observations across several leagues, I tried to make it somewhat relative to some in our conference. I said at the beginning of this year that it would be more of a slugfest every week, and that is what it seems to be more of without a doubt. Moreso for the other conference than mine, I might defer.

Not jumping your shit...just making sure we get credit for our victory of the Pewnts last season.

I think players dropping the ball also has to do with defense/intimidation/confidence factors. There are so many factors that go into each play as far as crunching the numbers, special abilities, S.P., etc...

This is right Lawdog...another thing that boggles my mind is Field Goals and Extra Points...a guy can boot a 59 yard FG with ease and then come back and miss an XP? Really?

^^ Almost like girlfriends are in the game. One minute he's happy and scores a 50+ field goal. Next minute his girl is texting him saying shes pissed at him, he's stressed and misses an extra point, haha. j/p...but ye I get ya man.

Anyways, we got a few more backup cb's now, =). They aren't very high in levels but it's nice to have some backup. We are changing some things yet again. We are just going to keep trying different tactics until we find certain areas that work really well against these teams. You guys got talent, that's for sure. If we can ever get our head in the door and knock down some teams and show that we aren't a bad team, I'll be happy. Getting to that point may be tough though. We just need to learn this league and really get our heads into it and focus and figure out what the hell we are doing wrong and fix it.

I appreciate any messages I've received from you guys letting me know little tips. Even the smallest tips have helped. It's all making me look closer at what teams are doing and what we may need to do to fix what we are doing wrong. I appreciate the replies and good luck to all this season. If we can go on a 8+ winning streak, I'll be fucking happy as hell, HAHAA...but hey whatever...all we can do is try. =)

"Agreed Rod, we were left scratching our heads at the dropped passes and incomplete's for that game, we caught everything until that playoff game, it was unreal like someone greased the balls or something,"



You dropped six passes in that 25-7 loss, the same number that your team dropped in our earlier game that season when you won 13-7. Whatever re: unreal..

This league isn't a great example from last year but odd games occurred (right Pewnts?).

You really think us beating the Pewnts in the playoffs last season was that big of an upset?

We beat the Pewnts handily in the playoffs. They best us by 6 points this year and 7 points last year in the regular season. If Billy would have connected with Joe Rogers in the endzone at the end of our game this season, we would have probably beat them.

Anyway, the Bengals have found their offense finally. Watch out western conference...

There were definitely some strange upsets in the playoffs in my other league last season. I mean my team was the #7 seed and we beat the #2 seed in the first round and the #8 seed also knocked off the #1 seed in the first round. If those teams played against each other 10 times it would have probably gone the other way 9 of those times. Playoffs are definitely strange.

I think it has to do with teams saving up boosts until the end of the season.
