Locks
Foy Destroyers
Dublin Devils
Aalborg Powerpigs
Vienna Danube River Raiders
Likely
Cardiff Dragons
Lewisburg Dragons
In the hunt:
Lisbon Goons
Tottenham Honey Badgers
Bayou Bandits
Munich Beer Drinkers
Swedish Glaciers

I find it funny that both Dragon teams have the same record at this point in the season.

I believe Cardiff will get in this year. Looking at our schedule I expect us to win 3-4 more games. Luckily, the end of our schedule is easier than the beginning was. Of course, Vienna and Dublin are the two tough games we have left. How many wins were needed last year?

8 vs a tiebreaker I feel really good about Lewisburg too. I see at least 3 more wins easily, and our toughest opponents are behind us.

Watch out for Lisbon. That Fun n Gun offense is tough. This is one team that is better than their record.

Thanks for the Lisbon shout out! 3 of our losses we gave away with turnovers. We gave Foy 4 turnovers today and loss by 8. If we limit the turnover bug to a minimum I think we can go deep in the playoffs.

Not to take anything away from you guys, but today the sim machine that is GLB decided it would let some teams try and convert on fourth down in their own territory, even if your AI tests say you should be punting. We just happened to be one of those lucky teams...twice.

are you sure the tactics are set right? I've seen this on one of the teams I'm OC for, you have to account for EVERY situation. If you want to discuss it further PM me and I'll let you know what to do to make sure it doesn't happen.

Granted, there were some screwy things happening in today's game. However, I stand by my statement that Lisbon is a dangerous team. I scouted them, and saw a team that can move the ball quite well. They also do a good job of forcing turnovers. We knew we were going to be in a battle.

I agree that Cardiff will be in. That will be an interesting game with us (Vienna) and them here soon.

We are really closely matched. And the thing is, looking at the schedule we could easily have a re-match in the first round of the playoffs.

Yea those screwy things baffled me. There is no way we should have been shut down like that in the last game, no offense to the Bandits, they are a hell of a team. I have a GM on my team ready to quite because of it.

I think it will come down to the last game of the season to determine 6 playoff spots.

You mean the seeding? Yeah, it probably will. I would love for Cardiff to get a home playoff game but to be honest, after last year, just being IN the playoffs is amazing.

This is just to show who will be in, not the seeding. After our last 2 losses I'm not so sure about us anymore...
