Warrior General Games

Which teams are the most underestimated and which teams are the most overrated?

What aspect of their defense is overlooked or overhyped?

What is surprisingly effective or uneffective on offense?

Maybe its because of the recent loss, but I think I will be choosing to be fairly critical about my own team (well its scarlet's team, but I'm on it ).

I would have to say right now, I think the n00bs are one of the more over rated teams in the league (fellow team mates hold the hisses for just a minute and finish reading first). The n00bs currently sit at 7-1. Very respectable in my opinion. But lets look at the quality of those 7 wins. Carolina by 42...eh, Oakland by 13...one of the better teams in the league last season, Portland by 14...thank good we improved in the secondary, Hartford by 19...class organization but they seem to be trailing off a bit from last season, RGB by 33...I dont think those guys read the boards or they would have gotten the Awooga hints by now, Scottsdale by 22...same deal as Hartford, Miami by 18...If I remember correctly Miami was only 1 or 2 wins out of relegation last season.

Defense:
I think the n00bs are spot on when it comes to defense. However, there have been some inconsistancies. It seems like in games where the front 7 comes up big, the secondary allows tons of yards, and vice versa.

Offense:
The run game...is what? Its true, the A7 league leading rusher (east/west combined) has been basically stopped in his tracks this season. He has fewer than half the yards he gained last season, and the season is allready half completed. Sure he still leads the conference in rushing and is 2nd in the league, but his number just arent adding up this season. The back up HB has been a little out of sorts this season as well. In just 8 games he has fumbled 4 times, losing 3. Dont feel bad though JR, Martin has 4 fumbles as well as loosing 1, but he hasnt lost the ball since game 3 after making some adjustments.

they do read the boards. well, at least one of them does. :O)

and no offense taken.

If we are doing overated its defintily the Elves and has been since the first day of this season

I think Dallas is underrated.

Dallas has had a really tough schedule so far. They aren't as good as last year, but I don't think they're as bad as their record shows.

Agree.

Thanks guys.

=) agreed as well here, but lets talk about the teams more...do some anal lyizing and post it up

Can buffalo be underrated???


weve had a difficult time adjusting to the A#7 league...

but if we get into the playoffs, we can definitely make some noise.

I wouldn't say you're underrated... you haven't really done well against top competition yet, but you're definitely a solid playoff contender.

I would say you need to stop giving our kicker drugs and alcohol before the game.

This isnt directed at anyone, but dont confuse underated with under-acheiving.

In our position, you are correct. I think we have highly under-achieved.

THat doesnt sound right, highly and under in the same sentence but you get the jist.

Our O (Dallas) while not pretty last season, was able to put some runs together. Enough that the solid D that Chad magically puts together could hold on for the win. This season, the engine won't start, the body is rusting off the frame and someone's stolen the tires.
