Sham's start out slow and but pick up speed late in game, but they should have started earlier, losing by a couple FGs. So Oslo hangs on to top spot for another week. As predicted, Dragons win easily and take over #2. Tofu wins their game, but Terror scores a surprising number of points on em. Finally Assassins edge out Stallions for the number 9 spot, still not playoff bound, but still in contention.

Week 11

Oslo vs Red Lights. Both teams are strong, but Red Light defense a little weaker, especially their front line. Oslo running game superb and will pound on through to LBs. Oslo wins.

Dragons vs Shams. Shams looking to reclaim their number 2 spot this week from Dragons. Both teams have a number of heavy hitters. Will probably come down to the better defensive game, and I think Dragons have the advantage there. Dragons win.

Tofu vs Zurich. Tofu will win, but how many points will they give up this week? Tofu wins.

Doom vs Bastards. Scouting bars give slight advantage to Bastards, but a lot of that is from their kick team and QB. Level-wise Doom has advantage, but nothing new there, they are playing the Bastards. Doom wins.

Assassins vs Cards. Assassins slightly overall higher level and have the better defense. Assassins win.

Pirates vs Stallions. The Stallions need this win to keep their playoffs hopes alive. Slight level advantage to Stallions, game planning advantage to pirates. Pirates win.

Terror vs Trawlers. Terror not quite prime time this season, but more than enough to take out Trawlers. Terror wins.

CPU-dogs vs Huskies. With only two humans, CPU-dogs are hurting. Huskies apply more hurt. Huskies win.

Game of the week Dragons vs Shams.

Great game Stallions in week 10. You guys are getting on the right track now with new ownership.

MTDewJoe .. It's not always about players levels but more about players builds as we have shown this season.Playing the top teams very close till the end even though we have been outleveled.

Gameplanning baby!!

Great write up again, keep it up bud!!

Yeah, my team has proven that a couple times this season and last, but since I can't see everyone elses builds, well, unless everyone wants to make a GM so I can see em I have to give everyone the benefit of a doubt and weight towards level when it is very close, or they are significantly different. If a team has performed well over the season, I take that into consideration too, as well as, depth. I only give a glance at scouting bars since that maybe gives a very general idea about builds, but doesn't necessarily mean much. I know some of the other folks who do this use some convoluted formulas, but I just go with educated guesses. I'm actually more than a little surprised that my predictions have been as accurate as they have been!

In any case, I'm just trying to have a little fun with it, get people talking, and make WEA4 one of the better places to be (at least until I get promoted to get pounded in AA). I do think it is a little funny that everyone waits until after the game to talk it up, kind of opposite of last season.

Scouting number only know about natural abilities, level gives a hind on extra skills like SAs vet point and equipment. With the same scouting number the higher level is 99% better.

It was a close game, and we gave it our best. Thanks for the props.

I didn't expect to see the pitch right play as much as you guys ran it against us. We've got a great DE on that side, and a good LOLB, but they couldn't make the plays we needed.

It sure seems like there are issues with stopping the runs to the right. I'm really seeing a trend with that on many of the teams that I'm on.

Back to my DC drawing board.

You should shake up your OC on that:
4th 3:21 4th & inches OPP 13 30 yd field goal attempted by Lance Drum, made [FG]
Worse game decision ever, you had a good chance to score and win. Facing #11 rushing offense, did you expected to have the ball back with enough time on the clock ?

Here's hoping you are wrong. This game is going to be about stopping the run on D, and running the ball on O. Oslo's QB has only been sacked 3 times this season, the Red Lights are going to increase that number.

Bring it baby! As you guys are rushing the QB Curtis and Gore will run right on by and do a little dance in the endzone. With the holes our OL will open we could walk to the endzone.


Good luck guys. After the game maybe we can take a walk down the Red Light District and do some window shopping.

As long as when we upset you, we get to drink with Odin!

Odin's so awesome, he can divide by zero! He's so awesome he doesn't have a chin underneath his beard, he's got another f'in axe!

That's true, I didn't even think of that.

Either way you're doing a great job and I know everyone in this league enjoys your writeups including myself.

Keep it up!!

Gonna be a good one. You do indeed have a great running game. No way we can stop it, but all we need to do is contain it. We have a better balanced offense. We are as comfortable in the air as we are on the ground, which way are we going to come? Bring it on!

Yeah, I talked to him about that. That cost us a chance to win the game at the end. Not saying we would have, but it would have been nice to have the chance.
