I start to feel sorry for the Greats, and then I keep realizing that this play has been in the game all season long. That means the Greats had 16 games to prepare for this possibility. I didn't see anyone post that they would not use the Strong i slam in any games.

So winning "fairly" really isn't part of the discussion. There is only do or not do.

Lastly, having taken shit on numerous occasions by the Dead Man for losing to the sixth place team in Lion in the first game of the season, there is no small amount of schadenfreude in play. To complete the equation, E'ci is better than the Greats, because we didn't lose to the 8th team in Lion, the Greats did. There's the clue, adddddddum.

Once again, provide links to a team stopping the play or shut the fuck up, the only way to win is to run it yourself, the Greats will not fall to that level.

Here you go champ, a game where the Strippers tried to run the Strong I every play except 3rd down and mid to long...they didn't get it done.

Everyone runs the slam sometimes dipshit....bottom line is its not unstoppable.

And turnovers happen when you try to run every play against a good defense.

Jeg elsker når folk som jer går så meget op i et spil som dette. Det varmer mit hjerte. Jeg vil også gerne lige sige: Greats suger røv og æselboller. Og at bruge Slam-I en hel kamp, det er sgu for lavt! TAG JER SAMMEN! hvis man ikke kan vinde "rigtigt" og bliver nødt til at udnytte en kendt fejl i spillet for at vinde, er man ikek sgu ikke en vinder i mine øjne.

HA! This is written in a foreign language to screw with you

If the facts do not support the theory, then they must be disposed of.

The crazy two turnovers? The game I clicked on had each team losing one fumble and not throwing any picks.

The winning team ran the ball 32 times to throwing it 27. The losing team ran the ball 70 times and was held to 3.4 yards per carry.

I really don't see how you can compare the two.

GG Pgymy, no hard feelings.. just hope you own up to it.


LOL, yeah, you really throttled us in the regular season and we had no hope of winning.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=394727

If we didn't have 4 turnovers to 0 for you we would have won that game easily as well. Stop thinking you were a team of destiny that got screwed. You are a good team, but this isn't the upset of the century.


That doesn't mean shit.

The fact that you went from 9 points(3 FGs-Pre-SLAM) in our first game to 36 points(70+ SLAM plays) is enough evidence to prove you guys knew you weren't going to win fairly.

I mean damn, you didn't lose 8 games for nothing - get a fuckin clue.


We went from 9 points to 36 points. We also went from 4 turnovers to 0 turnovers. We also returned a punt for a TD. We also outgained you in both games. In short, the reason you won the 1st matchup was because your defense stepped up and got 4 turnovers to stop us in our own territory. Chances are we score on those drives and win the game if we don't throw the picks. We changed our gameplan up like most good teams do in the playoffs. Our defense still shut down your offense. If you want to win games, try scoring more than 13 points.

you didn't turn the ball over because you never threw. duh.

we scored only 13 points because we had just a little over half the plays as last game. If we had as many plays as last time, chances are we woulda scored over 20 if you extrapolate the points per play. You ran the ball so much we didn't have enough possessions.

Our offense was doing better this game. In fact, it was roughly 33% better. You can't discount our INTs, we've done that all season long because we built an overall strong defense.

You didn't score a single offensive TD on us this season without resorting to nothing but strong I slam for almost all plays. We were doing better offensively this game than last. These are facts.

Man up to your decision to go with a cheezy tactic, ala Mortal Kombat 'cheeze' days. You're the MK cheeze guy at the party when we were kids. Own up to it.

Could you have won without it? yes, it was possible, though we were the favorites. Did you give yourself a shot to win that way? nope.

But RobertRJS has never been anything but a good sport and the type of player this game needs, and it's this kind of bullshit that is making so many of them leave.

Could the Crusaders have stayed closer to the Devils if we ran 100% nothing but HB Strong I Slams? Maybe, maybe not . . . but honestly I wouldn't have cared. It's a cheap way to play the game, in my opinion, and I was actually annoyed with myself that our team ran it as much as we did today. People put a ton of time and energy into this game, and for it to come down to who decides to sell out to a single play vs. who doesn't honestly kind of sucks.

It is what it is, tho, right? Bottom line is that the Greats lost and the next team to play the Pygmys had better bite the bullet and run 100% Strong I Slams as well, and just see who can win the "Exploit Bowl". That's what this season's playoffs will come down to . . . who can run it up the middle the best.

Whooooopppppiiieeeeee.........


thanks for the kind words Pber. I do appreciate it. great overall post, too and it summed up many of our (being the league's) sentiments.

LDT - no problem with you starting this thread. We set ourselves up for it if we ever lost. I'm fine with that and it's to be expected. If you're gonna dish it out then you gotta take the punches too. And now us both have to this season.

I look forward to beating you 100-0 in the championship game next season.


I was ducking out of this thread because this is really just piling on and some other stuff and I didn't see how anything good could come out of it. (I was wrong, I've chuckled a couple of times)

But then I read PBer's thread (always classy) and it is dead on. And then I saw Robert replied to it and I'm a little confused because there is no way you are shutting MaRAWK!!o out in the championship game. Just wanted to clarify.

And I also want to clarify that I hope you guys make it to the championship game next season so we can prove you wrong!
