That sucks.
GL Orlando. I read through some of the AA1 threads and Orlando might be one of my new favorite teams (if you guys didn't beat us last year you would be my favorite team besides the one Im on). Those BOOM and YOUR OUTTA HEAR posts are hilarious.

Tallahasee lost in the first round of the playoffs to the #7 seed 9-12
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.
It was a tough loss but I would not consider it an upset. They outleveled us at almost every position and had the top defense in the league. I am not sure where you are seeing CPU players on their team, because they have excellent depth all around. Their defense only allowed 4 TDs all season, with us scoring two of them in our earlier match-up. While they lost more games than us, they lost to the top teams in the league by 2 points 3 points, etc. THey are a very good team and I do not think there was any upset bug or some computer glitch that caused us to lose. We cannot figure out their defense and they are simply a better team than us. They waited to boost and it paid off. About 3/4 of our team waited to boost but some boosted earlier.
Bottom line is that we figured we would lose a few games this year and not win the league. After having some unexpected sucess against teams that were higher level than us I started beleiving a "one and done" season was possible but that was short lived. We will re-group and come back strong next year. It took us two years to win this league, and if we can win AA in 2 years I will be happy.

I am rooting for Detroit and Orlando to win, then I will actually be able to tolerate the boards for a change. Orlando has its flamers, and some decent posters. But Detroit has the worst poster I have ever sen in TBoM. I stoped going on the boards a few days ago and will not post until some of those guys are gone. You can not even have any sort of dialog or intelligent discussions. Sometimes I would like to talk about the actual games and stengths of teams, not just start a pissing match every other post. It is pretty ridiculous and I miss this forum. Keep up the good work guys, you will be joining us soon. I picked Houston to win the league after last year, lets see how my prediction holds up. prove me wrong Cerneo and come join us.

I'm going to start prescribing to Coach Z's playoff conspiracy theory, as we lost to a team that we beat by over 30 points earlier in the season...and this was a team that boosted at the start of the season.

I don't think it's a conspiracy...but I'm convinced, ESPECIALLY after doing all that data entry last month an all the teams in USA Leagues, including the playoffs...that there is some "underdog/upset" algorithm in build into the playoffs. Bort claims nothing changes, but when I run the numbers through my spreadsheets, there most definitely IS a difference, and my numbers say something ain't right.
What really jumped out at me, was WHERE the upsets occured. Too many identical scores were happening according to the SLOT position across hundreds of leagues. That was not a normal, random event, which is what should occur if there is a random number generator running all the plays.

well trust me man, hes bad news, all hes doing to the team is selling off the players that speak out against him to the highest bidder. Its like jearly said, soon its just going to be a bottom dweller with full stadium upgrades.

I still think it has to do with the teams that wait to boost as those teams typically will have a 6, 7, or 8th seed. Very few teams can wait to boost and get a top 4 seed.
