Originally posted by Galactic Empire GE won this week. Although it was more due to the defense. Got out gained 387 to 235 but my defense had 5 turnovers.
I have the feeling I read something similar recently
Empire, I must say that your habit of thinking all your wins are caused by your greatness and all your losses are caused by the off season run nerf is kinda annoying. No offense meant. Love.

Looks like we have the matchup most of us have been waiting for this week.
#1 HAHA vs. #2 PORN
Well here we go. Most stout defense so far this season against the best offense this season. Can HAHA go through the gauntlet and come out the other side undefeafed? Can PORN prove that they're the best team in the tier like they were for 3/4 of the time last season? How will PORN approach HAHA's 4 WR offense? A lot of questions and not many answers (at least not until tomorrow night). As a rule of thumb I generally don't pick against PORN due to partial bias and because I truly think they're the best team from top to bottom but I'm going to pick against them this time because I don't know how PORN will end up defending HAHAs offense. We'll have to see if Rob. has anything up his sleeve. If HAHA wins it'll probably be because they put up a good amount of points because it's hard for me to believe they can limit PORN to the teens or low 20's. HAHA wins 30-28.
#3 No Name vs. #7 San Diego Sperm Whales
No Name will have a tough one potentially against the sperm whales. Let's see if No Name can keep it up and stay within shouting distance of 1st. Depending on what happens between PORN and HAHA they could jump to #2 if they take care of business, which I think they'll do. No Name wins 28-14.
#4 Ashland Docker vs. #14 Virgins
Ashland has trended downwards a little bit lately. Lost to an all run team and then almost lost to a run heavy team in league play. What's up with the dockers? Now they have to play the all run Virgins. This might get interesting but I would think Bhall calms the chaos and wins comfortably unless something is more seriously wrong besides a stalling offense. Ashland wins 30-7.
#5 Bloody Slaughterhouse vs. #10 ASU
ASU coming off a big win in ladder last week while Bloody has been a consistent top 5-7 team all season. Should be interesting to see if ASU can upset a second all pass team. For now I'll go with Bloody simply because I want to see more from all run teams before I can declare them close to as competitive as pass or balanced teams are. Bloody wins 24-14
#6 Salty Runback vs. #25 Buffalo Billy Boys
Salty is winning this one and winning it big. Salty 35-0.
#8 Mannheim Steamroller vs. #19 New England Wildcats
Should be an easy win on paper for Mannheim but it's hard to say with the no S*/no boost factor. I'll stick with Mannheim 21-10..
#9 Fire Breathing Sharks vs. #23 Empire's Zone Strikes Back
GE is probably getting his ass kicked here. All passing offenses have given him trouble this season with two big blowouts against PORN and Ashland. Unless he can catch the Sharks off guard on defense (which isn't hard at all if you scout them a little) then he'll lose. Let's see what happens. Sharks 34-10.
#10 South End Vipers vs. #16 Phoenix Aztecs
South end gets the privilege of whooping up on the falling Aztecs. Nothing here tells me Phoenix has too much of a chance. They're coming off getting destroyed in their last ladder game. South End wins 24-10.
