Kool, I have never flamed on you or acted gay toward you, but on the matchup screen with all my starters in Hawthorn is the favorite, plain and simple. Right now I have ALL of my backups in, and I still think I would win based on the matchup screen: http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2948&team2=2960
For confirmation of all my backups being in, look at my depth chart: http://goallineblitz.com/game/depth_chart.pl?team_id=2948
I think I win the argument!Well in this game you can't simply go by the match up screen can you? Because if you did then the outcome would be predetermined before the snap.
Yes I am aware that you're players had mine beat in terms of level. However in terms of performance on the field the game itself came down to a handfull of plays. You can choose to acknowledge this or you can choose not to, but in our particular match up it was a 2 point game late into the 3rd qtr when Hawthorn was lucky enough to get an INT in you're territory. The outcome was a 16 point game, but it was far from being an easy victory for you're squad and it was far from being the "blow out" that you predicted. Instead of just saying "hey that was a great game" you said "we played our back up's".
Predicting yesterdays upset was pretty easy considering our lowly (12) Falcons held the mighty (1)Headhunters without a TD for nearly 3 qtrs. I'm looking forward to our
rematch.
Edit: As far as back up's. Take a look at our depth chart as well and you'll see that you're starters played against our back up's for quite awile in that game. Had I decided to play our starters the majority of the game I have good reason to belive that the Falcons would have won that game.
