#10 (tied) Vandelay Industries vs #3 (tied) Portland Snoozers

This is a game of opposites. Vandelay is a pass first team that can't stop the run. Portland is a run first team that can't stop the pass. If you're a fan of good defensive play, this is definitely not the game for you.

If, on the other hand, you're like me and a big fan of train wrecks, this should be a lot of fun. I don't know that early season rookie teams can put up 1000 yards combined, but if they can, this is the matchup to do it. In the end, though, my money is on the running team. Even though passing teams eventually get nasty impossible to stop, until they've had some time to build skills, their WR's drop a lot of passes. Running teams don't have that problem.

Portland 54 - Vandelay 38


Hmmmm....what was that again about Vandelay's defense? We held Portland's great rushing attack to 74 yards on 32 and 0 TDs. They accumulated 269 total yards and 17 points. Plus the game went into overtime, so they had extra plays.

It's because we play %100 zone and build our CBs like this:

Was that not the most infuriating game of dropped passes for both teams?

And we had two rushing touchdowns...not zero

Boobs dead...

My bad...I was looking at something else. Yeah, you got 2 rushing TDs and yes, lots of dropped passes.

GG...you have a very good team.

#3(tied) Doinitin Djibouti 2.0 vs. #1 Syndicate Bayou Bengals

D2.0 is another of the teams the original Lounge team chased out of Oberon which played a major role in the demise of what had been the best league in all of GLB2. But it's understandable. Not everyone can handle gazing upon the glory that is a team with Xavori coaching it. Mere mortals should not be expected to handle such awesomeness. And, okay, that's getting a bit thick, even for me...

It should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the staff of either team that these are both run-first teams. D2.0 is a classic HB led attack with a mix of inside and outside runs. The Bengals are an outside run team that feature both a superstar HB and TPTSNBN. But I'm not basing this pick on those running offenses. Instead, I'm going with the team I think can do the better job on defense, and for that, I gotta go with Parab00n.

D2.0 41 - Bengals 24

I'd say you were off a little. And like I said, this score was going to be much lower.

Bengals - 21
D2.0 - 7

Sorted!

GG to you and your team as well. I was not looking forward to playing one of your defenses!

Don't take someones predictions to heart, not for sure why people have to come back into these threads and throw it in the OPs face when he misses on one...

Agreed. "Walk quietly and carry a big stick"

I'm just messing around. I really like his predictions...plus I like being the underdog.

GG D2.0...you have a tough team. That was a classic fight in the trenches game. I got a few nice outside runs that was the difference. I have to give credit to my GM and D-Coordinator, Butler and Mezirah. They put together a great defensive game plan.

No, I'm not going to harp on the silliness of the complaints about that play since there is exactly 3,157,322 other threads (I counted...sorta...maybe) where we can argue about it, you can call me names, or we can all point and laugh at Jampy.

lol

Sacktastic game we had cats. I forgot that those still happen.
