Isn't it strange that there isn't a single team that hasn't ran the ball at least once? No Pure Passing teams.

Not running in short yardage is silly against most teams.

PORN is a passing team though.

same for slaughterhouse, in reality we are a pure passing team but in short yardage we will run the ball too.

Well, pure passing teams will also occasionally have the QB scramble then run depending on their tactics settings

True, but that doesn't apply here. Every team has ran designed runs. There are plenty of teams that haven't passed the ball though.

What's really weird is that I have never put in a passing play in any of my playbooks but in a few games, I have 1 or 2 pass attempts.

Look at this game. Team Stats say I'm 0/2.

Interesting to see that despite the abundance of rushing teams, the top 5 are currently
3 pass heavy
1 balanced
1 all-run

Got a few good matchups this week that wil be fun to watch.

#1 Panty Obliterating Rectal Ninjas vs. #2 No Name

Game of the Week. We have the current best rookie team vs. the 2nd best (4 way tie) team in GLB. No Name brings a very balanced offense and stout defense (28 points allowed in 7 games) to the table. They haven't really had any close games up to this point. PORN's offense is still clicking on all cylinders and looks awesome up to this point. Not to be lost in the shuffle is their defense that has allowed 24 points in 7 games. Even though this is the best matchup of the week ranking wise I just don't see it being close with how well PORN has done so far. Their lowest win margin thus far is 21 points. Let that sink in for a second. PORN wins 42-7

#2 The Salty Runback vs. #6 Salary Cap Optimization

2nd best matchup of the week. Salty has been dominant as ever so far this season and they face the 1-loss Salary who just recently lost a heartbreaker to the Virgins. Salty's balance and very strong defense will probably be too much for the all run Salary Cap. I have this one being fairly close but never really in doubt in the end. Salty 20-17

#2 I've STILL Never Had Sex vs. #16 Monica Lewinsky

The Virgins are coming off a HUGE win over Salary last ladder matchup and they get rewarded with one of the easier (on paper) matchups of the undefeated teams. Virgins bring a very good pure rush team with a solid defense (common theme of the undefeated teams). Monica has looked decent so far this season but they got destroyed by Ashland early this season so I can't see them beating a good undefeated team at the moment. Virgins 30-7

#2 Ashland Dockers vs. #18 Atlanta Falcons

Ashland's defense has allowed an absolutely ridiculous 3 points 7 games this season. Obviously a somewhat easy schedule has helped them but credit still has to be given for that feat. Now they come against a fairly potent passing attack that has 2 losses (one being to the best team in the tier). If Ashland can escape this game with another shutout then I'll be really surprised and impressed. That being said I still expect them to win. Ashland 24-14

#6 EEA 2.0 vs. #16 USA American Pride Ballers

EEA has a relatively easy matchup in my mind here. No knock against USA but I don't see them slowing down EEA's rushing offense while they will probably have trouble scoring on EEA's D. EEA 24-7

#8 Bloody Slaughterhouse vs. #21 Arkansas Razorbacks

Bloody brings a very good passing offense up against a decent razorbacks team that has struggled more often than not so far this season. Don't see Arkansas winning this one. Bloody 28-6

#9 Arizona State Sun Devils vs. #23 Tosche Station Grenadiers

Arizona's all run offense should be enough to beat what seems like a resilient Grenadiers. Arizona 17-6

#9 Mannheim Steamrollers vs. #24 Santa Fe Gunslingers

I see the steamrollers run offense outshining the balanced offense of the Gunslingers. Steamrollers 20-7

#6 Ashland Dockers vs. #19 Gliwice Lions

Undefeated Ashland brings a good passing offense up against Gliwicea pure run offense. Ashland has the least points allowed on defense through 5 games in rookie, though I think some of that has to do with their lack of good teams played up to this point. This will be a good test for Ashland and I think they'll pull through. Ashland takes it 20-14


Nice write up but we already shut out the Lions.

Honestly I am surprised more passing teams don't make up the top 10 as a whole.
