We also had a strong running game, and thought that this EXACT same strategy might work. I changed my mind about 90 minutes or so before the game and went to our bread and butter, but to claim this was "throwing a game" after they lost is just silly.
That said, if this was done to throw the game, I hope one of the mods or admins catches it, and if there aren't rules about this shady behaviour, I hope they come. Also, someone should link the point in this thread to Jed or one of the others where the OP posts a direct thread from his private team forum, get him suspended for a while.
Ok as being one of the players on the team, I don't think that we were totally trying to thrown the game. I think that we were tryong to lessen our chances to win the game on purpose, but not completely throw it. I, personally disagree with with my team on this issue and that we should have made an attempt to win it all and get to the next region, but I do respect the decision made by greatest show on turf. The teams in SEA AAA#1 are a lot better than the teams here in our league and there is a very high chance that both teams that won and will be moving up will be moving down next season. So in a way I think greatest show on turf made a smart decision for his team, but I don't want to be apart of it and will be moving on next season.
I believe you are wrong. I think we can definitely stay out of the bottom 2 at least. Some of the teams that went 3-13 (the bad teams that are staying in AAA) have very bad teams, a lot worse than ours. I think that if we go out sign a couple of high level players we could have a chance for a 6-8 playoff seed next year. Which is a lot better to me opposed to staying down for another year in AA. I agree with T-Noles813 that he paid the money and can run his team how he wants. I think his team would do good enough next year to stay up there in AAA. If I was on his team though I would not stay, but if most of his players agree with what he did then good for them. They are a good match. I think he might outsmart himself though in his whole diabolical scheme to come back and just "dominate" AA again.
