Rwanda had an even better rush defense, and we had like 150 yards on them, so we figured we'd do the same because every team that beat you went 52/48 rush over pass. So we went 70/30 and it had the exact opposite effect. We were averaging about 3-4 yards a carry until the second half and stopped running. 80% of your interceptions have come off of zone defense this year so we played heavy zone defense, and we are like 3rd or 4th in league in INT's, and we got no INT's. The sim completely botched this game for us and im very upset about it. Not even because we lost, but just because i wasted all last night and this morning game planning to have it do the complete opposite.


Yeah that can get amazingly annoying, that is why I don't scout for the teams I GM for anymore

Still don't know how both of the teams are successful, but they are.

yeah i mean thats GLB, the sim is going to do very weird things from time to time and you gotta just hope its not in a big game like this. It's happened to us before (like throwing 3 INT's against level 4 corners) so maybe they'll work some of the bugs out for next season

Johannesburg needs to win to keep home field advantage in the playoffs. Beltway needs to win to stay out of Nigeria's side of the playoffs.

Sierra Leone edges Togo.
Sierra Leone 21 - Togo 20

Next year is Doinitin's year.
Kigali 80 - Doinitin 3

wow are you joking? Feel really good about a lucky sim error win? (not saying you wouldn't have won if our game plan went the way it was supposed to, but it would have been a much different outcome) I'll PM you if you like and show you our exact game and how we were supposed to attack all of your weaknesses and how the simulation shows we did the exact opposite. Don't talk trash unless you know what your talking about, which you dont.

And if you wanna talk about shutting a team down, we held your team to 1 TD.(rushing) The only reason you guys won was because you kicked more FG's than us. You can pass the ball for as many yards as you want but if you dont score TD's its all for nothing.

I can't wait to play the Norsemen.

Our win over them will just help motivate the rest of the Lion for the Championship Game.
