Stunners definitely have the edge over us, they are a run team built to stop the run and we are a run team built to stop nothing. Which of our offenses is better is debateable. We have a bit more variety with the running QB and are a little more unpredictable but the stunners have stronger blockers and better backs.

Also I've never even made eye contact with a female

Yep that was an overreaction at the time. Right as Air Raid was falling of the cliff. Still think DD2 is a top 10 squad


I agree they certainly could be, but nothing concrete is saying that yet besides a win over a team people want to be out of the top 10.

If I were to take my list as as a gauge.

DD 2.0 is 4-2 vs. top 25, 1 tie outside of the 25.

W's - (7, 14, 16, 23)
L's - (4, 10)

Air Raid is 5-6 vs. top 25, 0 loss or ties outside top 25.

W's - (5, 9, 17, 20, 23)
L's - (1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 12)

Their wins over Queen City and MMA are enough for me to currently. Not to mention of their 6 losses only 2 were by more than a TD. Both of which could be the top 2 teams in the game. If they start slipping to teams we aren't talking about as top 10 I will be moving them down the list along with other people who lack consistency.



At this point they are ranked there because they started at #1. They have played like shit all season long.

And ya, losses need to matter, but so do wins.


The 2 wins you listed are trumped by losses to the #10 & #12 teams on that list. At this point they were lucky they caught QC at the start of the season.

Which offense is better isn't really debatable. You may have more variety, but the Stunners offense is > your offense.

I certainly think 5-12 could be debated all day long. But the teams I put lower than Air Raid have shown to be susceptible to much lower ranked teams than 12. Not so the case for Air Raid...yet.

Should be a good game. Having only watched a few of your games - looks like a difficult offense to stop consistently.

Should likely come down to defense - who gets luckier with play matchups / and who makes plays or forces turnovers.

Other than Salty - doesn't seem to be any team in the game who's defense gets too many props -- or who is viewed as their defense contributing to their success in a big way.

ahem, New York Nightmare. You punish DD2 for not beating #23 Rusty's Ruins worse but let them skate on their lucky win vs NY. Hell, if NY actually had a kicker who could kick off they beat Air Raid.

Run GLB's D doesn't get any props. Our offense is pretty shitty

Wasn't really punishing DD2 for the way they beat Rusty's. Sorry if that is how it looked. DD was punished mostly for the Hillfield tie and lack of overall quality games. Air Raid has played 5 more top 25 games (based on my list) and won 2 higher quality games than DD's best. Without that Hillfield game I could easily move DD within the top 10.

I think the major issue is just a lack of highly competitive teams at the vet level.

No argument there.

I'm not saying DD2 should be in your top 10, I just don't think Air Raid is there either. However, debating rankings like this is pretty entertaining. Eventually you get to the point where no one has beat anyone and everyone is terrible. Always a good time.

I mean somebody has to be in the top 10. 5-12 is really anyones pick of the litter from my list. They all have wins over one another.
