Orlando won their game 16-12 against the #8 seed and now face the #5 seed who Orlando previously beat 41-13

Denton and Cape Cod play tomorrow

Hmmm...just looking at the box scores...looks like Tallahassee really struggled in the passing game. Big Tuna was way down on his normal stats; 18/41 (43%), 134.5 yds (3.3), 0 TD 3 INT, 3 Hurried, 1 Sack.

They out gained the other team in yardage, and had 1 less punt (which normally equates into more time controlled), held the other team to a measly 46 yds rushing (1.8 avg).

Looks like both teams struggled back and forth all game in a weird defensive game, with 7 FG's the only scoring. That's funky.

Wow...Tallahassee womped these guys earlier 30-17. Milwaukee finished three games behind them in the loss column for the year, plus Milwaukee has many CPU players on their team.

This is an example of what, I still believe, is some "underdog upset" that is built into the playoffs that Bort denies exist. Almost every league, every season, has 1 upset, where the 7 or 8 seed wins. When I was doing all that data entry earlier this past season on over 1000+ teams, the amount of times where there WASN'T an upset like this per league is more in line with the normal expectations of upsets, ie., it was more rare than common.

Actually they beat Tallahasse 30-17 earlier in the season. Think you got it backwards.

Both teams waited to boost as well.

Most of that has to do with the whole "wait to boost" philosophy. Teams boost early, get the 1 seed then go against the team that waited to boost and got the 8 seed. Their record isn't really indicative of their strength.

I would normally agree with ya...except last season, we played the delayed boost card, wound up out of the top 4 for the year, boosted right before the playoffs, went up against the Orlando Pirates who we had previously beaten unboosted, and on paper we were about 1.5 levels stronger because of delayed boosting...and lost in a strange game of turnovers and the CPU not even coming close to matching our game plan.

This season, we dedicated to just playing for home field position and the extra cash.

I am a tad bit familiar with that particular story. Personally, I always felt that it worked in our favor to lose the regular season game. It gave you guys a sense of confidence about your gameplan and helped us know what to expect. And as we all know, that 1.5 levels doesn't mean much other than the number of skill points you've acquired. Not saying your builds are bad, just that you never really know what the opponent has under the hood.

And still, it came down to a field goal with less than a minute to go. It was a game that could have gone either way.

Yep...it was a battle, and we did learn quite a bit from it. It pissed me off...not because of you guys...our opponent was secondary to just the anger most of us had because we held off all season long from boosting, and lost 3 games during the year we probably would have won, and went "one and done" in the playoffs. If anything, you guys taught us that it can backfire, it's NOT a given and a good game strategy setting can overcome any small level advantages. I'd say our loss to you last season made us focus more on game settings this year than anything else. Game settings and builds...we really tweaked a couple of guys into some good builds.

I'm pretty sure Milwalkee waited to boost, but I could be wrong

Its def 70% builds and 30% gameplanning or 100% gameplanning your build and.... nevermind

And that's why I'm hoping we get to AAA1 before you get to AA1.
