GG Pecs, it was really harrowing to play against a team that is so similar to us, and you really gave us a run for our money.

Yeah, great game. Really proud of my guys for pulling this one out. Not going to say we 'shocked the world' or anything foolish like that, but I think we proved a point in Alpha today. Some people (everyone but blackball I think) were starting to write us off...think again.

There were some really compelling games today. I think L'vov is really looking like they are in a great position to jockey for some playoff position. Pecs has a brutal schedule left (including a really good Zeta team), but should get in with ease. I said at the start of the season you were both playoff teams and you are both proving me right. I think L'vov needed the game today more. Pecs needed it if they wanted a home game in the playoffs. Lots of work left to do, but you both have nice rosters and really good chemistry. Keep it up!
I feel sorry for Stutgart. Their remaining schedule is worse than Pecs. 4-8 right now should all get in the playoffs, just depends where they end up getting seeded. Milan won their last loseable game (they still have us). Kiev is a good team and could win out.
Either Pecs, L'vov, or Kiev will beat Hague, but I don't see Hague dropping 2 of those games. So imo Hague has the 1 seed all locked up. Obviously if we beat Milan that means the 2 seed is ours for sure!

Ohh am i feeling another side bet for the playoffs there Blackball. Right now we feel as we are going to run the board. But hey, were not going to be like the Patriots. If we have to lose one and be 18-1. it will NOT be the Championship game. HOnestly all 3 of the mentioned teams will give us a challenge but i dont think any will prevail.

Top nine teams
1 The Hague Hustlers 10-0
2 Rostov-on-Don Mavericks 9-1
3 Milan Wildcats 8-2
4 Kiev Flames 8-2
5 Pécs Gringos 7-3
6 Belgrade Huskies 6-4
7 L'vov Train 6-4 next 4 games puts them at 8-6.
8 Travis Henry's Illegitimate Children 6-4 next 4 games puts them at 8-6.
9 Stuttgart Celtics 6-4 next 4 games puts them at 6-8
PLayoff teams seeded.
1.The Hague. Unless the unthinkable happens and the Hustlers drop 2 game they have locked up #1.
2.Rostov. If Rostov pulls out a W against Milan like expected this spot is theres.
3.Milan. Milan has a fairly easy finsih to the season. We see a L to Rostov but pulls out the TB against Kiev.
4.Kiev. WIll finish with the same record as Milan but has the losing TB. They have 2 tough games and are projected to lose the one to The Hague.
5.Belgrade. They have 2 tough games left and could pull and upset against Pecs. Either way we give them the 5th spot.
6.Pecs. With the upset lose from the Train. This puts Pecs behind where they need to be. An upset against Kiev, The Hague, or Mayhem could bump them up a spot.
7.Travis Henry's. 7th and 8th spot is going to be decided when L'vov and T.H. play each other. winner will get the TB and get this spot.
8.L'vov.7th and 8th spot is going to be decided when L'vov and T.H. play each other. Loser will get this spot.
On the bubble.
Tricity is on the bubble with a 5-5 record. They are projected to finish out 4-2 with a final record of 9-7 which would leave them just shy of the playoffs. One upset against the Huskies or Mavericks would bump them up into a tie.Would depend on who the upset is on and then it would determine who is knocked out.
Win vs Huskies would knock the Huskies out. A win vs Rostov would knock out the Train unless they beat the Bastards.

Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it...........We expect any future games against you, pecs, hague, kiev or whoever to be better played on all your parts. This isn't being cocky, its respecting that we believe you all have improved (everyone has room for improvement). I will advise everyone to take the same approach versus us or you might not have the result you want to happen.
You got some garbage points at the end that made it closer than the game was. We did the same thing scoring some meaningless points late vs Hague. If we had been on our game then, we would have beat you worse. I think the same applies for Hague beating us in week 4. I think our playoffs in Alpha are going to be very compelling.

i am going to have to agree with Blackball about playoffs. seed 1-8 could win. As long as we dont play THIC first ill be happy. TH upset Milan who was believed to be the League Powerhouse. Im glad we got TH out of the way early and like Blackball said, i would be scared to play them late in the season. Your going to have to be a 10-6 maybe 11-5 team to make the playoffs in alpha. ive been in leagues where 8-8 has made it but that wont be here.

I think someone gets in, in alpha with a 9-7 record. Maybe 2 teams. I wouldn't be suprised to see pecs struggle home. The funny thing is thou, they could be better off with their seeding by losing. Alot depends on the kiev game for them ( i think thats their next game).
I think of the big 4, only 1 of us can lose a first round matchup. Alot of that depends who gets the bad draw......eg Hague vs THIC or something like that. I think the various teams all have a couple teams they would dread playing and that 1 they hope they get. I think Milan's loss to L'vov has them being the team most likely to get downed in a first round game........A win over us, erases that in a big way.
I don't think it would be shocking to see all of the big 4 win. Milan could get it together. The Kiev/Hague game will tell us alot more about Kiev. A win over Hague and they might be the team to beat going into the playoffs. Alot can happen. A L'vov win over Hague would really give the train some confidence going into the playoffs.
I think Milan and us have the easiest paths home. I still don't see us picking up 2 games in the loss column to Hague.
Right now I think us vs hague is what most people would bet on being the final game. Wouldn't a 3 TD loss to Kiev/lvov/pecs change how Hague is percieved? What if Milan beats us badly? The playoff complexion would totally be changed then.

Budapest won't make the playoffs, but next year they will contend for the #1 spot.
Seriously.
Oh, and someone give Marlin Harrison some love, he's killing the entire league in receiving.

He is still the leading reciever and that counts for something............what that something is...............is...............Go figure another Alpha player dominating Zeta.
Further proof that Alpha is the Tier 1 league and Zeta is the minor leagues.
