I really, really didn't think it would be this hard. Let me lead you through the forest of ignorance down the path of enlightenment.
The Stackers have the highest-leveled team in the league, by a lot. The pure math says they SHOULD win every game, and it shouldn't be all that close. WHAT BETTER POSSIBLE WAY could there be to compare the relative strength of the other teams in the league, other than how well they perform against the Stackers? Up until that point, no other defense had allowed that few points and that few rushing yards, and the defense to set those new lows was half-full of level 8 players. That's what I thought was important - the fact that my defense is performing as well as it has been considering half of the team started the season at level 1.
And if my team with my tactics can do what they've been doing when clearly outmatched (and with an at-times anemic offense

), what do you think's gonna happen once the talent gap shrinks and my players get on more even footing?
The clock is ticking.
